  • This beautiful yet simple ballad evokes the images of a clear night sky and its humbling grandeur. While all individual parts are quite playable, the work uses interesting harmonies and careful orchestration to make your group shine. A great way to develop musicality, and a gem that surely belongs on your next concert. (Rehearsal Track)

    I’m actually really mad. My band was going to play this for our slow song for the winter concert, but for some reason since my band teacher doesn’t want to take the 6th graders out our band that aren’t able to play this (which they all should be able to play this piece, it’s really easy.) and put them in a 6th grade band.
    I’m in the high band at our school which is mainly, 7th and 8th graders. (But now there’s a lot 6th graders that are in it.)

    I played this for my Christmas concert. I really like this song. We had to cut a part from the song because we only had a short time to learn it but it still sounded really good. I'm a second chair flute in the top band of my school. Don't know why you needed to know that but there you go. The first chair can't be beat tho. YAA GO FLUTES
    Respect to all you beginners not giving up on it. I'm in 7th grade ( Year 2 of playing the flute) and I don't use any cork things (what are they called? Not cork things, but the plastic things you put in the keys... Those things. ) I don't use them. I'm not really allowed to. And although I am a flute my heart belongs to the trumpet. I still really love the flute though, but I'm curious to play a trumpet.

    @oomurice Před 2 lety +1

    We're playing this song right now and we're not even half good. Though, the flutes nail their part, the only hard thing is the high notes and the switch up of fingerings can really make you lose grip and easily mess up your playing. That's probably why I hated this song, but the more practice, it sounded amazing.
