This song always brings tears to my eyes. We played it in my junior school band and I cried when we did. It and Redemption are two songs that I can really pour my soul into and I love them. Music is a wonderful thing and the people who produce it are talented beyond belief.

I played this my freshman year of highschool, i’m a junior now and I can say without a doubt this is the most beautiful piece of music my bassoon has ever had the joy of playing.
