The Road from Aphonia (7:55)
Grade 4
by Joseph Spaniola

The Road from Aphonia incorporates some modest mixed meters in a driving tempo following a subdued introduction. Fragments of "O Come, O Come, Emanuel" appear, although the work is not at all intended to be seasonal in nature.   The piece ends in a joyous upbeat tempo.
