Les thèmes chimériques ont décidément bien inspiré Rossano Galante en 2011. En plus du puissant Journey to the Lion's Castle, le compositeur a imaginé la rencontre fatidique de chasseurs et de la dernière des licornes. Les passages poignants alternent bien entendu avec les rythmes de chevauchées fantastiques, contribuant à faire de cette partition un opus mémorable dont vos musiciens se rappelleront longtemps.

Just some information on the piece-
-This piece was commissioned in 2008 (I believe) by West Genesee School District wind ensemble director Andrew Perry, in order to commemorate and honor the passing of his mother.
-In 2012, West Genesee would theme their marching band show for that year after Cry of the Last Unicorn, placing first in National Class at the New York State Championships for the 32nd time of a total of 35 championships.
-Andrew Perry would direct this piece in a COVID-riddled 2020-21 year, being the featured piece of his last ever show as director before retirement.

Rossano Galante is Just One of those composers who really makes me feel good about playing his songs. Banger like the Rest!

[@josevela5543]

Something sounding like "Movie Music" should never be an insult. This is an awesome piece!

Common opinion: This shit slapps!

[@sharkam1236]

I have to say that playing this in my high school orchestra is and always will be the best memory I have created. This was the last song we played as seniors and the last time literally made me cry.
I have a special place in my heart for this song. Thank god for Rossano Galante... a genuine god of all composers

Sadly only Mastery Band played this at my high school, I'm only in Advanced Band. This seems fun to play as a flute but also hell

[@elinahagakallevik820]

from a flute, yes, soooo fun. But also hell, hahahha

[@cha_enthusiast]

@@elinahagakallevik820 that just about sums up the flute parts in most Galante pieces ahaha. playing this one now in my high school's concert band and I'm a little concerned since there are kids in here that have played their instrument for less than a year.

[@elinahagakallevik820]

@@cha_enthusiast oh, wow. We play it in region-band, but we havent met since september. Most of it is not that hard it's just the part in 133 bpm, THATS what i call action

[@lollipop5850]

Mastery Band French Horn here, I can definitely say this piece is one of my all time favorites!

[@Angelina-yq5sn]

YES EXACTLY 😭😭😭 and then the brass speed up at the concert 0-0

[@havocmangawip]

@@ToastedBread135 , so you have a really awesome band program? My favorite director commissioned this for his mother.

[@havocmangawip]

For a continuously Top 100 music program top level group to play.

[@fabricwheels7028]

@@havocmangawip It was just high school wind ensemble. I was the third chair alto the time. It turns out that we were supposed to play it again for our last concert this year. It was going to be so fun now that I'm a senior and can play it almost perfectly. XD
