The Spirit Within is meant to represent the human spirit and the capabilities of human emotion, which is portrayed by the harmony in the piece. The harmonic language is the focal point that plays on the relationship between major and minor chords, including lots of extended harmony and suspensions that encompass the main melody.
The piece has the ability to show off the quality sound from a brass band whilst providing a thought provoking piece for the audience to enjoy.
The Spirit Within is featured on the Grimethorpe Colliery Band CD, Grimthorpe Entertain.
