Route 66 Suite (by Nolan Stolz)

This channel features videos that show the formation of the Route 66 Suite, a composition for symphony orchestra (with a version for concert band) commemorating the 100th anniversary of Route 66 in 2026. It is an on-going a six-year project (2020 to 2026). I did preliminary research on Route 66 in the 20/21 academic year before hitting the road for over 400 days (July 1, 2021 to August 15, 2022) exploring 66 and getting inspiration for the music. I spent 280 of those days on 66, and the remainder either doing additional research, composing sketches, or simply resting. The places and experiences in the videos are what have inspiring the music.
