Composer Blake Neely has become pretty well known in the last few years, with successful scores to 'Arrow' and 'The Flash'. But back in 2008, still relatively unknown, he was asked to score a short film by Ken Burns (under 9 minutes) called "The Work To Come". The film was a tribute to Senator Edward Kennedy, and was shown on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention in 2008. As Senator Kennedy was very ill at the time, the film was very emotional, and Neely's score was, in a word, beautiful. If you're not familiar with it, you can listen to it (free) on Neely's website, here:

In a perfect world, I'd like to buy this piece in decent quality (CD or download), but it doesn't appear to be available anywhere. Yes, I can "capture" the audio from the website (already have, in fact), I'd really like to find it in CD quality, or even hi-res! The website doesn't offer it for purchase, and I haven't found it at iTunes or anywhere else. If you DO know where this can be had, please let me know.
And I'd love to hear what you all think of this piece!
