Exquisite performance! Outstanding composition! Brava, Amanda!

What a wonderful piece! Because the composer is a pianist she has written a piano part that is on equal footing with the winds and not merely accompaniment. And the writing for the winds includes powerful unisons at times while also featuring extended solo passages, allowing each voice to shine. It is at times intimate chamber music and at other times almost symphonic. An exciting performance of a terrific new piece! Bravi tutti!

Just lovely

MUY HERMOSO !!!! UNA JOYA MUSICAL!!! FELICITACIONES!!!

I loved playing this solo so much. Thank you for composing this 😭🙏

Beautiful!

What a fantastic performance! This is the recording that this piece has always deserved. I am so glad to hear it.

It's amazing omg it feels like a dream

Yao--this performance is so beautiful. I have shared it with my students. I love your clarinet playing and your legato is aspirational.

Gorgeous piece!!!

Transporting, sublime! Bravi!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love how rich the alto flute sound is and how ethereal the piano writing is!

Congratulations to Sydney! She sounds wonderful.

Very cool piece! Thanks for that, bravi

I'm listening your beautiful Interpretation already the third time in a raw. I tried to find the sheet music, could you help me where can I order it? 😊

Beautiful!

The precision and control required just to produce quality tones on a piccolo is exuberantly difficult. This musician’s ability is dauntingly impressive.

love it!!! and congratulations sydney :))

👏🏼👏🏼

Brilliant performance of a wonderfully moving new composition! I love it.

Brava, Dr. Harberg!

Thank You! Wonderful Musik, wonderful Performance.

I am eagerly waiting for a Harberg flute sonata as all the sonatas - piccolo, tuba, clarinet - are some of the best contemporary works out there. It would become standard repertoire so quickly. Or imagine a Harberg flute concerto even, flute concertos are seriously lacking compared to other instruments. Otherwise we need to do as with Mozart oboe concerto and borrow this!

Great Gershwin's Ghost! This is fantastic!

Wonderful piece and performance!!

This got me dancing!

Oh, yes!

This is amazing

oh, snap! 🫨

Beautiful!

Beautiful piece, wonderful playing and chamber music making!

Very interesting sound to hear this variety of flutes all playing together. Thank you for posting this video...much appreciated!

Prima ! ❤

The Phoenix Symphony played this composition on Sunday, October 15, 2023. Ms. Harberg was in the audience. I enjoyed listening to her composition. Listening to it, I thought about the Parker Solar Probe, a spacecraft about the size of a small car, zooming around the Sun and collecting information on the Sun's solar wind and the corona. The Parker Solar Probe is small but it's courageous and determined like R2-D2.

Best style I've heard yet!

Marina also taught me, and it was wonderful to find this beautiful piece of music.

Amanda: I believe my daughter has met you (perhaps at Interlochen?). In any event, she loved learning and loves playing, Hall of Ghosts (piccolo). She is now studying at a conservatory in Europe and is working on this piece. We are looking forward to hearing her perform it.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

All I can say is WOW!

A beautiful piece of music, I hope there are music scores to practice, can appear in concert performances in China.

I just purchased this

Haunting and brilliant. I love it!

I was actually at this performance last summer at the behest of Mr. Lastrapes, the cellist here, who I was studying with at the time. Dr. Harberg gave some brief words describing the piece that we were about to hear, and then they started playing. I was totally enthralled in the music while picturing the vivid imagery or her son’s garden that Dr. Harberg had described to us before the piece. I met the performers outside after the recital and talked, but I was still slightly stunned by the great music that I had just heard (I actually got Mr. Lastrapes to take a photo of Dr. Harberg and myself). When I was walking with some friends the day later, I spotted Dr. Harberg and had to tell her how much I had loved her piece the night before. It had touched me the same way when I first heard some of my favorite music, such as Dvorak’s American Quartet or Mahler’s 9th, and I told Dr. Harberg that this piece is the epitome of contemporary music. I’ve found myself revisiting this memory and this piece recently, and thought I should share my story of how I got to experience a bit of the joy that Dr. Harberg finds in her children. Chamber music is the most intimate art-form there is, and I hope that generations to come will still be able to experience that which I and many others have felt by listening to and playing beautiful music.

this is so cool!!!

Beautiful!

Literally breathtaking!

You brought this up in class today so I searched for it and it’s just beautiful. I’m super excited to hear WYWS play the orchestrated version this weekend! :)
