What a daring Idea, taking a piccolo flute to represent the rising ocean - and it works in a strangely graceful way! Since i have heard some of your compositions, i am in love with your music. Thank you, Mr. Beeftink!
This sounded great!!! It really shows how pretty piccolo is. When played right, it’s a beautiful instrument and some people don’t understand that. It’s often known as a dog whistle, yet you made it sound incredible which is amazing. I love all of your music, and am a flute/pic player myself. I’ve played many things, but your music is truly unique and something I haven’t heard before. Great job!
At 3:17 when the music notes ‘catastrophic, the piccolo line felt like screams of pain and futility. It felt like lashing out because no one was listening. It was incredible, and I wish I was talented enough to portray suck strong emotions through music. Incredible composition!
Beautiful! I just got the notification and all of my flute friends were so excited! You're one of the best composers for flute and piano I've ever heard. Much love! ❤
Truly beautiful work. Your style of composing flute family parts never ceases to amaze me. I can truly say that you are a one of a kind composer that is truly set apart from all of the others I’ve listened to.
I have been listening to your compositions or a while, and you are single handedly my most favorite composers, I refuse to play anyone else's writings. Yours have what others are lacking, the emotion, the flow, the magic. You bring fourth such inspiration. Truly so beautiful. I hope other young flautists/piccoloists discover your amazing work.
Absolutely gorgeous, already stoked to play it. The arrangement of Fireflies for piccolo and piano was beautiful and I played it last year and now I look forward to working on this! Your music never ceases to amaze and I am excited to see whatever you make in the future!!
I interpret the soft beginning as humanity goes about business as usual (doing nothing to save our planet). The second part is our Earth begging us to change our ways. At 3:17 it shows the destructive impacts to humanity (massive hurricanes, rising seas, and wildfires among others). The ending is unresolved because it shows that the end is not here; we can prevent the worst and turn around our future for the better. Amazing job, Mr. Beeftink! I've been a longtime fan of yours.
A wonderful idea, one of the most beautiful duets I've heard for a piccolo. Arouses a lot of emotion and peace. So thank you very much for composing this wonderful composition. you are One of the best modern composers I've heard.
Another stunning piece Mr Beeftink! Always get excited to get the notifications from your channel, I listened as soon as I could while at work. Beautiful composition with some insane passages that I can't wait to sink my teeth into.
This...was heart-stopping. Not only are your compositions always spectacular, the performance and expressive delivery by both yourself and Mr. Kumaran (or any other reputed flautist who has performed these compositions alongside you) are outstanding, in addition. I first discovered your music three or so years previous, and your music has quite literally provided a motivation for me to continue pursuing music as a career. Your flute, piccolo, and piano compositions are always enchanting to experience. It would be delightful to hear any further compositions you complete, and it would be especially interesting if you chose to compose for trumpet, euphonium, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, or any other instrument you so choose to compose for. Regardless of what instruments are chosen, every composition you create is assured to be something that everyone shall enjoy. Thank you for your outstanding and unique compositions.
Omg!!!!as a flute player I wanna say what a beautiful piece! 😍with sweet melody and enough for showing the techniques! I haven't listened solo piccolo before, only in the flute ensemble or other bands orchestra. Thank you for composing this piece, and I really enjoy it 😊
Never have I ever heard a better song with such a striking message and it cuts through my soul as i play it. The emotions written by it as how to play it give me goosebumps. Thank you so much for writing such an urgent and messaging song!
Not only do I love how this piece takes advantage of the unique tones offered by the piccolo in its lower and middle registers, which are so different from the C flute in the same register, but Rama seriously knocks it out of the park with execution of composer directions like "Catastrophic" AND extremely technically difficult things like trying to pp decresc al niente in the middle register of piccolo?!
I love each and every one of your pieces. My main instrument is oboe but since I got the flute as a secondary, I have been playing and listening to your pieces as much as possible. I love the way that the risings oceans are depicted in this piece, thank you for creating these mastrpieces!
Sublime...🥰 Merci Hermann pour cette nouvelle création, puissante et déchirante... Merci Rama pour l'interprétation plus que parfaite! Magique! Thank you so much, exactly what we need actually... such powerful... If we can manage to play for a concert this winter, we will play Frequency🤩 I hope you are doing well and that you are safe there... thank you again for this marvelous piccolo cry...😘
I’ve been binge listening to your compositions. They’re outstanding. Anyone who says music can’t represent a story because there’s no words, or can’t portray emotion because it’s only sound, should listen to this. Bravo
It’s so emotional, thinking past Solo & Ensemble and about the reality of climate change. Thinking about that it can be expressed through music like it is here is emotional, too. ❤️☀️
I am about to go to state solo and ensemble with my piccolo, and I heard this and immediately fell in love. I’ll be talking to my private instructor to see if I would be able to play it!
I simply cannot express how much I adore this piece! The first time I heard I fell in love and have been listening to it on repeat since. I recently just started learning pic and one day I hope I will be able to play this
Dag Herman, Bedankt voor je antwoord. Had ik maar een wedenschap met mijn vriend afgesloten, dan had ik het van hem gewonnen :). Ben verliefd op de klank van de Bossendorfer ( jouw mooi bezit ), en dat je in LA woont had ik niet gedacht. Bevalt het je daar of heb je geen heinwee. Voor je werk natuurlijk gunstig. Ben je al aan een nieuwe song begonnen ( of even geen inspiratie of puf ervoor ). Zijn er nog nieuwe uitdagingen voor je ( en zijn ze te verwezenlijken ) heel veel succes en plezier met wat je doet. Fijne tijd en blijf safe en gezond. Groetjes je fan Anita.
Herman, I love your music. I have to say. As soon as I saw this piece pop up in my notifications, I knew I was going to love it. Though, I did not know I was going to love so much that I was going to throw out one of my other pieces I was going to play on Piccolo for Recital, and replaced it with this one. Due to this composition, I was able to change the minds of some that thought Piccolo was just an obnoxious piece of wood that you can hear from the other side of the planet. Thank You!
I would really love to see an adaptation of this for saxophone! Your music is beautiful and shows that difficult music doesn’t have to be atonal and dissonant, but can be difficult in other ways and we really lack that type of repertoire in the world of saxophone. Thank you for this beautiful piece. :)
I was listening to this thinking 'wow, is this flute ever high!' then i realized it was a piccolo. Ive never heard such a smooth sounding pic before. The piccoloist took out the shrill for sure.
I just discovered you today and I must say that you are an amazing composer! The best modern composer I have ever heard. I never thought I would hear such beautiful, romantic and expressive harmonies between piccolo and piano. You are simply amazing and I can't stop listening to you. You are so underrated. I wish you the respect you deserve and success in everything you do. You earned a fan (:
My god, this absolutely magical! It sounds soooooo beautiful, all those modulations, exploiting the vivacity of the piccolo along with its beautiful long notes. I'm speechless.
This piece makes me feel so many emotions so strongly in a way I feel music hasn’t in a little while for me. It’s restored me somehow. That sounds so absurd but I truly love this piece. I can’t wait to use it in my senior recital.
I can honestly feel the anguish in this piece. I'd love to know the inspiration for it. It made my heart hurt to listen. I sort of feel like I'm living in a French tragedy or something. Truly a masterpiece. Once again.
At first I was reluctant about the choice of piccolo rather than flute but by the end, my mind was changed. Piccolo was the perfect choice. Wonderful piece!
This one is beautifull, beacuse I can visualize everything in my head while listening to this. I play flute, and I will show this to my teacher as soon as possible😊
wow I absolutely love this..... as a flute and piccolo player i must say i honestly love playing your pieces. every time I play this i get goose bumps it honestly sends chills. amazing
Oh god i am in Love with this..I closed my eyes and i was in another dimension! Thank you for your flawless music!!! I love to play it or just listen to it!!
the most beautiful piece i have ever heard and the last cord! amazing honestly you never fail to suprise me with your amazing talent and skill. 10/10!!!
This piece is so beautiful and emotive. Using the piccolo to represent climate change was a genius idea. 2:55 hit so hard for me for some reason, it was just so emotional. I've never wanted to cry more at a piece of music in my life. I'm getting my first ever piccolo tomorrow, and I'm dreaming of the day when I can play this.
What an enjoyable Song, 😉 🙏‼️it's got a little of everything , Adante, accuratura, crescendo vibrito Fottisimo with a dab of Capricco , ♦️♦️♦️‼️ Marvelous Marvelous job ‼️
can hardly believe this is a piccolo, never heard one so eerie and captivating. RK is certainly a virtuoso! Love the emotions evoked from this piece. Sends shivers down my spine. And I get the message. thank you.
Dank je wel Hrman, Ga het aanschaffen en hoop dat ik je mooie song kan naspelen ( wel niet zo mooi als die van jou :) ), heb er te apparateur er niet voor helaas. Hoop dat er weer meer van deze beauties gaan komen, het maakt mijn leven de moeite waard. Fijne dag en veel plezier met het maken van je mooie muziek groetjes Anita.
Hi Brian, I love your music and you inspire me a lot. I started writing music too and I wish I will be able to write something so beautiful as you do 💖

Thank you so much!
😁
I love this song! I’m trying to play it, but it’s kind of hard. I can do it though! I wish the video just showed the piccolo part though
2:09
*chefs kiss*
this is why you're literally my favorite composer
I come back to this so often…. It just keeps pulling back… I will play this one day when I am a better piccolo player!
This sounded great!!! It really shows how pretty piccolo is. When played right, it’s a beautiful instrument and some people don’t understand that. It’s often known as a dog whistle, yet you made it sound incredible which is amazing. I love all of your music, and am a flute/pic player myself. I’ve played many things, but your music is truly unique and something I haven’t heard before. Great job!
He really uses the "wood" register of the piccolo that others don't use because they think it's inaudible. It's... not.
At 3:17 when the music notes ‘catastrophic, the piccolo line felt like screams of pain and futility. It felt like lashing out because no one was listening. It was incredible, and I wish I was talented enough to portray suck strong emotions through music. Incredible composition!
legitimately what i was thining
YESSS those were the words i was searching for!!
Beautiful! I just got the notification and all of my flute friends were so excited! You're one of the best composers for flute and piano I've ever heard. Much love! ❤
I am that flute friend and that was amazing!
Thank you so much!❤️
very nice but subtitle lowers overall impression

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
What a great piccolo player. Not many can get a full bodied and sonorous sound from the Piccolo.
Absolutely gorgeous, already stoked to play it. The arrangement of Fireflies for piccolo and piano was beautiful and I played it last year and now I look forward to working on this! Your music never ceases to amaze and I am excited to see whatever you make in the future!!
it's been over a month, I'm still not over this song. the style markings are heart wrenching. I think about this song so much, a piece of art truly.
I interpret the soft beginning as humanity goes about business as usual (doing nothing to save our planet). The second part is our Earth begging us to change our ways. At 3:17 it shows the destructive impacts to humanity (massive hurricanes, rising seas, and wildfires among others).

So thank you very much for composing this wonderful composition.
you are One of the best modern composers I've heard.
You are very kind, thank you so much!
I never stop being amazed at how you paint pictures of nature with your compositions
Wow, I'm always impressed by how your compositions can expose beauty of flutes sound!
Another stunning piece Mr Beeftink! Always get excited to get the notifications from your channel, I listened as soon as I could while at work. Beautiful composition with some insane passages that I can't wait to sink my teeth into.
Thank you so much!
My friend who plays the piano is playing this with me! I play the piccolo and I practically begged her to do it because of how much I love this piece.
Also it could totally work well for Flute choir as well!
This...was heart-stopping. Not only are your compositions always spectacular, the performance and expressive delivery by both yourself and Mr. Kumaran (or any other reputed flautist who has performed these compositions alongside you) are outstanding, in addition.

Thank you for your outstanding and unique compositions.
I'm performing this piece tomorrow, and am so excited! Thank you for writing this piece, as it was made for my type of playing and interpretation. ❤
How did it go? It's such a lovely piece!
@@catthebatflute It went really well! The room I was in kind of soaked up the low Ds in the beginning, but otherwise it was a success!
I can't get enough of this piece! A great inspiration for a story I'm probably never going to write out in full.
ピッコロの響きを引き出す旋律。
ピアノの優しい音。
ピッコロとピアノがこんなにも融合し、ひとつの音楽となっている事が
こんなにも美しい事だとこの曲を聴き確信しました。
素晴らしいです。この曲に出会えて、Hermanさんの曲に出会えて感謝です。
本当に素晴らしいです。ずっと求めていたものに出会えました。
私もピッコロで表現できるよう頑張ります。
Omg!!!!as a flute player I wanna say what a beautiful piece! 😍with sweet melody and enough for showing the techniques! I haven't listened solo piccolo before, only in the flute ensemble or other bands orchestra. Thank you for composing this piece, and I really enjoy it 😊
Thank you so much!
Already planning to play this next semester at college, beautiful piece!!
Captivating uses of modulation and trills. Another great work. When it comes to flute writing, you can't beat the Beef!
Absolutely beautiful. Had me in tears at the end.
My heart melts each time I listen or play this. What a poignant yet beautiful piece of music.
Never have I ever heard a better song with such a striking message and it cuts through my soul as i play it. The emotions written by it as how to play it give me goosebumps. Thank you so much for writing such an urgent and messaging song!
I'm so happy you feel that way, thank you so much!
Wow, that was so gorgeous and inspiring. Definitely going to be listening to this one on repeat today!
This was heart-wrenching and absolutely beautiful. Bravo
Not only do I love how this piece takes advantage of the unique tones offered by the piccolo in its lower and middle registers, which are so different from the C flute in the same register, but Rama seriously knocks it out of the park with execution of composer directions like "Catastrophic" AND extremely technically difficult things like trying to pp decresc al niente in the middle register of piccolo?!
@@emilithium1 Yes, definitely, Rama is absolutely magnificent. Feel very lucky. Glad you made this comment!

If we can manage to play for a concert this winter, we will play Frequency🤩
I hope you are doing well and that you are safe there... thank you again for this marvelous piccolo cry...😘
Какое великолепие! Благодарю за наслаждение! ❤❤❤

Awesome! Strong. Powerful.Natural.
Thank you and Rama for this beautiful piece.
It’s so emotional, thinking past Solo & Ensemble and about the reality of climate change. Thinking about that it can be expressed through music like it is here is emotional, too. ❤️☀️
This is a prime example of arrangement and performance working together to make a truly beautiful piece of art.
I am about to go to state solo and ensemble with my piccolo, and I heard this and immediately fell in love. I’ll be talking to my private instructor to see if I would be able to play it!
you never fail to compose a piece that moves me. absolutely cannot wait to learn this piece
I love the theme of the music. Perfect for the team seas movement
Wow. I've never thought of owning a piccolo. Now I do. So beautiful!
I simply cannot express how much I adore this piece! The first time I heard I fell in love and have been listening to it on repeat since. I recently just started learning pic and one day I hope I will be able to play this
Is this complicated? Yes. Am I determined to learn it? Also yes.
Beautifully done, Mr. Beeftink!
Another beautiful piece by you. Never been disappointed by your music. Please keep it up.
Gives me the chills! Love it! Great performance by Rama Kumaran!
Dag Herman,
Bedankt voor je antwoord. Had ik maar een wedenschap met mijn vriend afgesloten, dan had ik het van hem gewonnen :).

That’s so nice to hear, thank you I really appreciate it!
I just love when you stumble upon a gem by accident.
please tell me why this is so good
i’ve only listened to it at least three times every day since it came out
I would really love to see an adaptation of this for saxophone! Your music is beautiful and shows that difficult music doesn’t have to be atonal and dissonant, but can be difficult in other ways and we really lack that type of repertoire in the world of saxophone. Thank you for this beautiful piece. :)
i was just thinking this ! I'd love him to do something for sax one day
As a saxophonist, YES THIS NEEDS AN ADAPTATION FOR OUR INSTRUMENT! I would say mabey alto because of its flexibility in timbre.
I was listening to this thinking 'wow, is this flute ever high!' then i realized it was a piccolo. Ive never heard such a smooth sounding pic before. The piccoloist took out the shrill for sure.
Agreed, Rama did a fantastic job!

I appreciate that, thank you so much!
Im in awe of your works. Just beautiful is all I can say…..
Gracias, por tan hermosa música
I'm really enjoying your tunes, but can we just talk about Rama's piccolo playing? That sounds so good!
This one is beautifull, beacuse I can visualize everything in my head while listening to this. I play flute, and I will show this to my teacher as soon as possible😊
This piece is stunning!! Might play this for solo and ensemble next year
Absolutely breathtaking. The raw emotion captured in this piece truly brought tears to my eyes (no really I was sobbing by the end)
this is kind of late but SAME! my arms and legs had goosebumps, and I was legit shaking
best piccolo and piano duet ever
Absolutely breathtaking. ❤❤
wow I absolutely love this.....
as a flute and piccolo player i must say i honestly love playing your pieces.
every time I play this i get goose bumps it honestly sends chills.
amazing
Thank you so much!
Love this, Herman!!! I’ll have to get my hands on this one 💌
Hi Tara, glad you like it, I will email it to you!
Oh god i am in Love with this..I closed my eyes and i was in another dimension! Thank you for your flawless music!!! I love to play it or just listen to it!!

I love it! How do we go about obtaining permission to arrange your works?
Bravo! I almost stood up and cheered at one point.
I’m so glad my teacher recommended you, you are amazing! As an aspiring composer, this is absolutely mesmerising. Thank you :))
Thank you so much!
I want to play this piece for a solo competition at the end of next school year. So excited!!!
The flute sounds really amazing. I love this 🥰🥰❤️
Makin’ music in the face of disaster... there’s something painfully human about the whole experience of listening to it.
can hardly believe this is a piccolo, never heard one so eerie and captivating. RK is certainly a virtuoso! Love the emotions evoked from this piece. Sends shivers down my spine. And I get the message. thank you.
Hey just wanted to say I was so deeply moved by this piece!! like the name too
Thank you so much!
Dank je wel Hrman,

MERCI pour votre musique, que j'adore ! Je suis flûtiste amateur et tout cela me fait rêver !!!
Thanks for poviding us with another great composition over so many years Herman! Do you create your coverartworks self too? Using Photoshop?
I discovered this by accident and im amazed by it. Keep up the good work!
Goosebumps and tears..
The piece is so beautiful! Am already speechless
Another gorgeous song! Thank you for posting!
choked on my dinner when i saw you posted!
Even a whistle punk like me,salute you and democracy that creates the freedom to put this together ❤.
Hi Brian, I love your music and you inspire me a lot. I started writing music too and I wish I will be able to write something so beautiful as you do 💖
gracias, gracias y mil gracias, tu musica es maravillosa, oirla me purifica el alma, en serio....
This is such a beautiful piece! This really reminds me of the piece called "Maya" by Ian Clarky!
Thank you so much!
