Edifice was written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 6th grade school building in Troy, Ohio City Schools. The opening, majestic block chords recall the strength and endurance of the actual structure, while the faster and more tuneful main theme reflects the youthful energy and optimism of the school's many generations of students.
