My band director had us play this earlier in the year, and I got excited because I thought it'd be for a concert, but it turns out we were just sight reading it. We actually ended up playing Diamond Tide instead, but I don't think that piece sounds nearly as cool. I'm gonna petition to play it next year...
I love this piece so much :D I played it maybe 3 or so years ago in junior band (clarinet muahaha) but still remember it as one of my all time favorites. It's quite a simple piece but it's really beautiful!
We too are playing this for our next concert. I'm playing english horn and I like this song. For us it's not too difficult and it sounds verry good. Thank you Michael Sweeney! :D
:P always loved this song.... it grew on the band after we started it no one liked it but it grew on us and im glad it did because i remember we had a standing ovation at our concert and we placed 2nd at viestaval in virginia beach. i just listened to it again and as i said 6:40 gives me chills every time.
yup i played tenor sax in this man this was an awsome and long piece. i love at measure 275 or 6 towards the end the final i want to say majestic ending. i miss band
Hey I'm doing this song for band! I absolutely love it. I'm first clarinet in our band but there are multiple so we have to compete for the solo. Gahh I hope I get it! :)
中2のとき大会でサックスソロを演奏してから人生変わったなぁ
アルトサックスの先輩が1つ上に居なくて、初のソロがこの曲だった
この曲をきっかけにいろいろ変化した思い出がある
中1のとき、先輩たちが吹いて東海大会まで行ったんだよなぁ。（B編だから東海止まり）
めっちゃかっこよかった記憶いまだに残ってる。
もしかしてふるももって知ってる？

I transposed the 3rd flute part and played it on an alto flute in high school. It was awesome...
