For all of the people debating this in the comments, remember that all instruments play a vital role. I'm a tuba player. My band teacher once said that "The band is the conductor's instrument." It's true. Every instrument contributed to the ensemble sound, and every instrument is capable of awesome parts.
Well while on hold with Walt Disney World Resort over the telephone they played this song and then announced it as a song from Disney's Expedition Everest. So I didn't just pull this information out of my butt and it's not just my opinion or something. But thanks for playing.
I'm so cool, I played this with a professional symphony when I was 5 and was first chair trumpet, horn, oboe, and flute. At the same time. (Did I mention I lost my left hand in Vietnam?) It was so much fun! The best part was that I was better than everybody else! -Every person that comments on a band piece ever Jk tho this is a fantastic piece
I did play this recently. I won't say anything about me being good because I don't thinks so, but I really loved playing this piece. Now, the first chair in my section would totally have said something like that
Does no one else hear John Williams influence? Or, at least movie-soundtrack quality of writing? Love this piece!! Played it last year in high school with a T.A. director. :) So beautiful.
The only reason us band kids scroll through the comments is to find someone who has named their instrument and part so we can rant about how great it sounds. Not that I'm complaining. 1st horn all the way!!!!!
I wish I had that experience. Im not a huge fan of his work; I mean I dont know all the music that he has written but my favorites are: "A Childhood Remembered", "Mt. Everest", "Afterlife" and "Cry of the last Unicorn". I remember tahat while rehearsing childhood the whole band started to put their instruments down, one by one, until almost everyone broke into into tears. It was beautiful. Music is powerful!!!
This was the last piece I ever played with my middle school band. That was 2 years ago. Such great memories. We were pretty much all together for all 3 years. I remember the good times back then when I listen to this. :)
Played this for the Vermont All State festival today. It was my first and last allstate festival. The conductor, Dr. Booneshaft, actually called up Rossano Galante (he's actually on speed dial) and we played this piece for him from Vermont all the way to Galante in L.A. It was amazing.
+Patrick Jackson He told the story about the fly as well as the story about the March 4th with the thumbs-up and the story about the board that says that "I will always do my best for I can never have this moment again". Amazing man, really. He's inspired me.
We just played this for a select All County HS band and it was amazing. The trumpets in our group were phenomenal and the low brass made everything cooler. Truly s great piece
I almost cry hearing this, we performed this in my freshmen all county band. I made 1st chair as a freshmen for Tenor sax.. unexpectedly. I loved this song so much like you don't understand lol.
I played this as a sax. No, I wasn't first chair, far from it. I wasn't good, I'll admit. But when my director handed me this piece, I listened to this video for hours, just trying to fit the tone and mood to my squeaks-ophone. I actually practiced this piece, and finally, my last concert for freshman year, we played it. I decided not to take band the next year, but listening to this gives me a heavy dose of nostalgia. I'm really gonna miss being in band; the fun we had, the stories we told, (the time we wasted), but most importantly, the music we made: as a family. I wish I was able to be a great sax, but I chose something different- for the best of the band. I'm really glad people are listening to this masterpiece. Have a blessed day. :) And goodbye band.... I look forward to listening to all the concerts
1:49 - 3:49 absolutely beautiful! Rossano Galante is such an imaginative, and versatile composer... It's amazing how he can write music with so much speed and power and at the same time compose emotional music with such lyricism and color... and he does it all in one piece right here!
I played this piece as first chair french horn last year for Region band and it was absolutely fantastic. I am in love with the horn part. So happy to actually have a melodic part!
I'm section leader of alto sax this year (sophomore) and I'm first chair/ first part and I'm so excited to play this piece. Last year we played Hypnotic Memories. Alto sax players do you have any recommendations to help us learn it easier and to get notes/rhythms. There are only three of us.
this was the last song I ever played with wind ensemble at my high school. my band director brought out all the parts and we played it from sight-reading on the last day of school today. crazy to believe after all these years I played the tuba for the last time today.
I call this a great leaving song. To me, it has that feeling of being excited, but sad that you have to go. You get this crazy felling in your heart as you play it and you don't know whether you should be giddy with joy or crying.

@@lackluxury4824 honestly I started by using free versions of producer programs or really cheap versions like the Fruityloops studio app on my iPhone. From there I started by sampling/remixing songs I really liked but had a different version in my head.
Junior playing this as first trumpet. Been practicing this along with Beyond the Horizon literally all summer and convinced my band director to buy the pieces. These beautiful songs really prove there is much more to music than just ink on paper. I'm looking forward to playing these at CMEA!
Are all the Lincolnton kids on CZcams looking this piece up and listening to it? If not, they need to. Even just for the music. It's a beautiful piece, and I'm proud to be marching this as part of my senior marching show.
my band director said that this is the senior song, when all the seniors wanted to play Africa: a song and ritual... i'm a freshman and really want to play Africa now because it sounds awesome like this.
Lightsaber Keyblades we played this last year in marching band and we won states!! this song is so amazing there's no wonder why we won the "best music" at almost every show we performed at.
+Lunch Yeah. From listening to songs written by the same composer on here, you can definitely point out similarities between the composer's songs, such as Rossano Galante and Robert Buckley.
We played this as the recessional for our school's graduation. It would have been amazing but we had some tempo tears. It still sounded good though. As a Saxophone, I basically had the horn part the whole time. In total I saw 10 measures of rest in the piece. Galante likes his horns.
did this last year with my HS band, still the best piece I've ever played IMO, not just because of how good the piece was, but also because this was just so *fun* to play. (Bass Clarinet TRAIN)
i ALMOST got to play this... 2 weeks before the concert i broke my jaw, thus i couldn't play my clarinet... i bawled my eyes out for hours... My band played it amazingly though! :D
i played timpani on this as the only percussionist in a tiny community college band this past spring. always got a little misty eyed during the ballad :')
I played this in middle school... First horn part was so fun:D n also the director came to our school a few days before we preformed at Carnegie hall in NYC :)
Definition of French Horn: Best instrument in existence. It's so versatile and simply an amazing sounding instrument. 1st horn is so perfect in this piece.
this is more of a Horn feature. they have melody all the time. it's absolutely GORGEOUS. i played it for my band festival. my directors last before she retires. it was perfect in every way since she kinda hit her "Mt. Everest" with that song.
@LovesAnimals95 I was supposed to play this piece (1st chair Clarinet :D) this past March for a music competition, but I broke my jaw in a sledding accident 3 weeks before the concert... My band still played it beautifully. So proud of us for pulling it off! You should see the music for it! EPIC!
Instead of arguing over which instrument is the best, let's just listen to the music. Honestly, everyone will think that their own instrument is the best out of every instrument there is. It's an opinion, guys.
I play percussion one on this which is sleigh bells, shaker thing (not sure what its called) and triangle. And oooohhhh man those eight notes were hard to keep straight. We preformed in a festival for this and the guy was like yeah you're leading half the band in tempo. That was a stressful moment.
My school paid for this to be writen my him. i go to ETMS (edward town middle school) this is such a good song im not gonna stop listening to it now!! im gonna downlad it on my ipod lol

One of the greatest symphonic band songs I've ever heard.
This piece sounds like a song you would hear waiting in line for a ride at like Universal or something
This song, or parts of it, actually play while you wait in line for the Expedition Everest ride at Disney World. :)
Meridith that is a lie and a half they play the farthest thing from this music in that line sorry to say.
Well while on hold with Walt Disney World Resort over the telephone they played this song and then announced it as a song from Disney's Expedition Everest. So I didn't just pull this information out of my butt and it's not just my opinion or something. But thanks for playing.
Oh honey, you hate us 'cause you 'aint us.
Sounds like what you would hear when waiting in line for space mountain at Disney

I am playing this piece in the coming competition.
GREEK PLAYZ Where was the band competition, just curious that is all.
french horns are the prettiest and the most amazing instruments ever
The chord at 3:20 makes me wanna cry tears of joy.
Does no one else hear John Williams influence? Or, at least movie-soundtrack quality of writing? Love this piece!! Played it last year in high school with a T.A. director. :) So beautiful.

ayyy first horn!
Noah Thomas I'm the only horn in my own band 😂
Saaaaaaaaame, I'm one of two horn players in my town. I'm in high school and the other kid is middle school.
AYYYY same! My concert is tomorrow!
Another 1st Horn is here. (Also got to pick up the slack on trumpet once in a while when things get to high)
we actually got to play this for Rossano Galante over Skype
For real?!?!
I wish I had that experience. Im not a huge fan of his work; I mean I dont know all the music that he has written but my favorites are: "A Childhood Remembered", "Mt.

Our band teacher is going to ask him! So he accepts? Does it cost anything?
I actually got to see him preform this live
He conducted my group at one of our concerts and it was an amazing experience
Rossano Galante actually came to my school and conducted us during our concert.
You're so lucky:)
Cyrus Phan so damn lucky
This was the last piece I ever played with my middle school band. That was 2 years ago. Such great memories. We were pretty much all together for all 3 years. I remember the good times back then when I listen to this. :)

Playing this as Bass Clarinet 4 Wind ensemble. So adventurous. :D
Played this at an week long campthat made me stay in band. So good. Cry everytime❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song. This and the Cry of the Last Unicorn made Rossana Galante my favorite composer
I almost cry hearing this, we performed this in my freshmen all county band. I made 1st chair as a freshmen for Tenor sax.. unexpectedly. I loved this song so much like you don't understand lol.
Beautiful music for a beautiful mountain!
this song has been branded into my head and will never disappear, i will remember this song and playing it in my band forever

I played bells and vibes for this at Universal Studios last year. Such amazing memories. Wish I was back. Definitely my favorite song to play.
I'm about to cry .-. We have a field show written for us and this song is in the second movement. Ugh its so beautiful
Sounds so Beautiful! Definitely suits for the Tallest Mountain on Earth with beautiful Snow!
I played aux percussion in this piece.. The triangle part was fantastic, but nothing beat being the first-chair sleigh bell player. Oh, the 8th notes
I played this piece as first chair french horn last year for Region band and it was absolutely fantastic. I am in love with the horn part. So happy to actually have a melodic part!
Played this song for my high school symphonic band as 1st alto saxophone player.
I'm playing it this year as a sophomore, also 1st alto. 🤘🏻
arrrrggg i got second part :(
bass clarinet yo

Reminds me of Jurassic Park sonewhat
And Beauty and the Beast!

xscissors3 Better than Jurassic Park and I am a John Williams fan.
Gail Milling ur a fan of me
I listen to it everyday!! I'm ready for this years marching season!
We're marching to this for our next season. :) go lincolnton !! #flute
Such a beautiful composition by my favorite band.
I really miss playing in this fine group of musicians.
this was the last song I ever played with wind ensemble at my high school. my band director brought out all the parts and we played it from sight-reading on the last day of school today. crazy to believe after all these years I played the tuba for the last time today.
This is the last song I played for concert assessment at my highschool. And I must say its a great way to leave
I call this a great leaving song. To me, it has that feeling of being excited, but sad that you have to go. You get this crazy felling in your heart as you play it and you don't know whether you should be giddy with joy or crying.

Rossano Galante gave my wind ensemble a clinic... IT WAS GREAT
The part at 2:06 gave me goosebumps all over the place. My god it was gorgeous
Dude. Freshman year. Percussion; bells and mallets. enough said. (^-^)
Played this almost 3 years ago when Galante was the Composer in Residence at the Tilles Band Festival. Great tuba part.
last year I had to play this for school and honor band as a freshman. it brings back so many memories. sucks tho how my new school doesn't have band
At least put a picture of everest...

This is so beautiful!! 😍😍
I play French horn and to play a piece with such a fun and beautiful part as the melody does not come that often this is one of my fravorite pieces
WOW!! Mt Everest !

So, my band director got the composer of this song to write a song for senior band and he also directed this song when we played it!

so lucky....
I'm playing this in my band 9th grade
Moises Robledo same, my concert is tomorrow
yea same
I play this for my band and I'm in 7th grade and I play bassoon and this song almost made me faint sight reading this
Instead of arguing over which instrument is the best, let's just listen to the music. Honestly, everyone will think that their own instrument is the best out of every instrument there is. It's an opinion, guys.
It's really very good!! I'm playing it on french horn! :)
this song was also written with very important brass parts, especially trumpet, as Rossano Galante had trumpet as his main instrument
that the best instrument to play in any band piece
AM PLAYING THIS IN BAND AND ITS SOUNDS LIKE THIS NOT EVEN CLOSE LMAO ITS THE BEST SONG THERE
Rossano Galante does not write 20 pieces. He writes one piece 20 times. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
I play percussion one on this which is sleigh bells, shaker thing (not sure what its called) and triangle. And oooohhhh man those eight notes were hard to keep straight. We preformed in a festival for this and the guy was like yeah you're leading half the band in tempo. That was a stressful moment.
Played this piece! First trumpet!
The band that I am part of are practicing "A childhood remembered" and it made want to get into Rossano's work
Cool song
Playin this for my seventh grade all county wow

We played this in 6th grade. Our teacher pushed us very hard!!! He called out anyone who made a mistake!!
