Moe Touizrar, a doctoral student in Music Composition at the Schulich School of Music was commissioned to write a piece for the McGill Wind Symphony for a concert commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the 100th anniversary of the First World War. His piece In The Setting Sun (Still Life) draws from his experience in Afghanistan supporting and working with Canadian soldiers and conveys the strange beauty of the languorous, dusty sunsets at the Kandahar airfield.
