	Written in a very ambient, free manner -- depicting a mood that is solemn yet sacred. No words need to be said and nothing needs to be interpreted when you are kissed just right.

	Story Behind the Song When John Coltrane wrote "Alabama", a spiritual but sad tribute to the four little African American girls that were killed with racist intent in an Alabama church in 1963, he decided that when it came time to record that he wasn't going to play a long solo because he thought it would be too self-indulgent for the subject matter. He plays the haunting melody at the top and bottom of the piece with a very short improvisational statement. In other words, he felt he did not need to overstate the obvious. In my piece "A Kiss That Whispers" I wanted to depict the perfect kiss. A woman standing on the mountain top, God-like, her gown and hair flowing in the wind, her arms outstretched, enveloping the entire world. This "woman" is depicted by the oboe which plays the melody. And, since I feel that the perfect kiss is sacred with no words needing to be said, I decided that the oboe should not solo either.
