we had a senior in our school who also played bari sax got killed on his way home from a football game for marching band. we are playing this in memory of him. its so hard to play when you see his face in your mind, and to listen to the bari part and know that he should be playing that. adam, i miss you bud. see you soon.

I remember playing this my Sophmore year of high school back in 97. I Playied the Alto sax, but we needed a Bari player that year. I said i would play it and we played this song. One of my Favorites of all time. Thank you for posting this brings back really good memories.
I remember playing this song in a region band back in 2004. I played the Bari solo. This was also the year my grandmother passed away, it was an amazing piece to play. This is amazing to see and listen to again. I need to find my cd of it
Mark Iacovelli I have a similar one! we’re doing this at our spring concert, and my grandma who we called “Mom Mom” passed away because of health problems she had the last few months! And died because of a heart attack! I will be crying at the end!
My band class is trying to play this for our spring concert :3 We worked on the singing for the first time today and it was funny XD I play the oboe part in this with 2 flutes and we like out part

I love this piece! I remember how powerful it was when we played it in middle school.

This is such a beautiful song. I love it.

We just played this song for our concert!
I loved the singing.
And the aleatoric section is so cool!
I had the clarinet solos. :3
Awesome piece.
5:57-6:25 Pretty much the most epic horn solo ever. I'm a horn player, it's my favorite out of everything I've played.
Good job!

andrew boysen must have a soft side for french horn players. because of all the horn solos he puts into his songs, but they are so beautiful.
