    I remember playing this in the 2015 high school state honors project, and I don't think I've ever experienced the amount of chills I did during that performance, ever since. The harmonies/dissonance are just WOW

    The Lead trumpet part brought tears to my eyes when I played it with our ensemble.

      That was good! Music is meant to make us feel like that. It is an awesome piece of music, is it not?

    That is one hell of a sound between the tubas and bass trombones. Wow! I am privileged to be friends with the principal tubist Evan Zeigel and Brendan Ige. I would love to be studio mates with those guys.

    This has to be my favorite rendition. The first trumpet brought tears to my eyes, the low brass and winds are unified as could be. A beautiful array of dark colors produced by the impeccable ensemble playing -- sound for sore ears, for sure.

      @thatgeekyhooker1282 Před 5 lety +3

      I agree, the trumpets are too bright too early on. Maybe it's just the concert hall. Also there are some phrasing choices that are weird, probably due to not having the lyrics to give context.

    • @Corpus11of10
      @Corpus11of10 Před 3 měsíci

      As a trumpet I was looking at them buried in the music instead of hearing the cue from the other side of the room. Not the maestro. Other than that, I enjoyed. Very bad entrances
