Viet Cuong: Heart on Fire (2022)
Viet Cuong (b. 1990)
Called “alluring” and “wildly inventive” by The New York Times, the music of American composer Viet Cuong has been performed on six continents by musicians and ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, Eighth Blackbird, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Sō Percussion, Alarm Will Sound, Atlanta Symphony, Sandbox Percussion, Albany Symphony, PRISM Quartet, and Dallas Winds, among many others. Cuong’s music has been featured in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center, and his works for wind ensemble have amassed several hundreds of performances worldwide. Passionate about bringing these different facets of the contemporary music community together, his recent projects include a concerto for Eighth Blackbird with the United States Navy Band. Cuong also enjoys exploring the unexpected and whimsical, and he is often drawn to projects where he can make peculiar combinations and sounds feel enchanting or oddly satisfying. His works thus include a snare drum solo, percussion quartet concerto, and double oboe concerto. He is currently the Pacific Symphony’s Composer-in-Residence and serves as Assistant Professor of Music Composition at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Cuong holds degrees from Princeton University (MFA/PhD), the Curtis Institute of Music (AD), and Peabody Conservatory (BM/MM).
Heart on Fire (2022)
Heart on Fire was inspired by Mary Oliver's poem "Walking to Oak-Head Pond, and Thinking of the Ponds I Will Visit in the Next Days and Weeks", which evokes themes of hope in the face of hardship, and living every day to the fullest.
What is so utterly invisible
as tomorrow?
Not love,
not the wind,
not the inside of a stone.
Not anything.
And yet, how often I'm fooled--
I'm wading along
in the sunlight--
and I'm sure I can see the fields and the ponds shining
days ahead--
I can see the light spilling
like a shower of meteors
into next week's trees,
and I plan to be there soon--
and, so far, I am
just that lucky,
my legs splashing
over the edge of darkness,
my heart on fire.

William Pitts: Auguries of Innocence (2014)
Holy hell This was so awesome to play on bass
So cooool
I can feel all the Africans with the drums and no water getting set for this peace.
guys lets do better than this
I chose percussion over bass guitar in my fifth grade band class (~2001) because the percussionists seemed to be having more fun. Now I'm hearing this and it confirms my initial idea
Great recording and a bravo/a to whoever played the Picc and Eb parts
The vibe part was super fun!
This is a W recording.
Daugherty is probably one of my living favorite composers, I love it
I never thought I'd see the day a wind ensemble piece call for a marching band glock
Combining orchestra with jazz goes WAY harder than it needs to! Amazing piece
2:11 3:31
TJ Anderson is a wonderful conductor and I feel privileged that I got perform under him at App State. He and the University of Texas Wind Symphony did an amazing job bringing your comp to life. Love the comp, the reverence is palpable of the folk genre inspo
TJ is awesome. I met him during the app drumline auditions two springs ago. We're actually playing this in symphony band this cycle
Erm! What the skibidi 😢
Im playing this in my band. The second part is TOUGH
I just played Horne's arrangement Deep River this past Spring with my University's Symphonic Band; this has got to be one of my favorite pieces that I have ever played (and I'm saying this as someone on 3rd Trumpet). It's so full of this lushness and life that's hard to describe
UNT has a way better recording man
Nah their recording just doesn’t have that soul like ASU does, and it isn’t as clean
disagree: -they take mvt 5 thirty clicks under -solos in asu are generally more soulful. i personally that most groups play them too tight/legit (ofc there are there some exceptions, i'd say UNT > ASU for soprano solo at beginning of 3) -too much picc generally in unt (not the player i think its the space) -generally less clean (for example the woodwind double tonguing excerpt at 9:49 is so hard that it drags in both recordings, but still cleaner here feel free to say why u prefer unt tho
RAHHHH SOPRANO SAX I GET TO PLAY IT🙏
Bro as a trombonist I love this cause I get to gliss and play low my 2 favorite things
showed this to my toemate . loved it
Arguably one of the best pieces written for concert band
Played this for my UIL contest last year lol
Gonna be honest; I've never understood the overwhelming love for this one, even having played it myself.
Yeah I agree I've played it and it was meh
YESS I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS FOR ALL STATE ONE YEAR IT WAS AWESOMEEEE
The buildup and the shout section at 2:38 is just most metal thing ever, I can't stop listening to it. Sixth grade percussionist me would've died to play this piece
Pure perfection.
4:01 I love this part... 4:30 this too
there is a small error on the score on page 51 where some measures should be 4/4 and not 3/4. not too big of a difference
Bass bone slaps
just wait until the dci arrangers get their hands on this
Composer winks at 11:03
Im so exited to play this!
Which hymns do each movement pull from? I know movement 3 is Come Thou Fount
Was lucky enough to meet Omar and be taught by him for for a lecture a while back, and he’s an absolutely phenomenal person. He treated everyone as equals and gave such incredibly insightful answers to any questions we had. He also went into his process of writing “Come Sunday” and the challenges he had with it, and it’s still something that has stuck with me to this very day. He’s just a really inspiring composer and I hope to be at his level someday 🐙
Oh god what the hell. So many time signature changes
The bass trombone slaps
The bass trombone part is wrote in the wikid low range
i love this piece sm, we played it my freshman year and i'll never forget it
10:30 keeping this time stamp as an excerpt reference
Dude that timpani part is so fun to play in rehearsal
This is the piece that inspired me to learn clarinet. Five years later, I got to play Wine Dark Sea on bass clarinet in the OSU Wind Symphony under Russ Mikkelson. John Mackey is a composer that changed my life.
2nd movement ❤❤❤❤ best mackey piece
I heard this played live at TMEA this year! I am amazed by how well it was composed!
this is insanely good
The trombone feature and sax solo right after in IV. Soul hit harder live lol. Great piece!
4:47 best section obviously 🙄
No way bro posted twice in a week
I got very horny listening to this
yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
What a fire piece
Bro let’s go the pfp is demo man Davis is on top
