    The stunning artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe is no more apparent than in her famous 1921 painting entitled Blue and Green Music. Fittingly commissioned by the Patrick Marsh Middle School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (O'Keeffe's birthplace), Samuel Hazo does an amazing job of portraying subtle as well as bold colors into musical terms. Based on a single theme that is manipulated and varied throughout, the piece progresses from delicate mallet percussion effects up to climactic impact points for the entire ensemble. O'Keeffe explained her idea that “music could be translated into something for the eye.” And Mr. Hazo succeeds wonderfully in translating it back into something for the ear!

      I play the timpani part here. My band director just lets me go apeshit, cause I'm the most entertaining guy in the band. Also the percussion senior.

      especially at 3:05 where the trumpet and brass part is very pointed and marcatto and then right after, the winds come in and it’s smooth and pretty with that one trumpet hovering on top, then right back to those brassy attacks

    throughout my 6 years of being a percussionist, (which i still am) my band director decided that i should play tuba for 1 song, and it was this song. I picked it up pretty quick and i practiced everyday to get better and better, and i have to say i love having an alternate instrument!!!

      And also I forgot to mention that i started tuba for my holiday concert which was in december so i had a month of hard work and practice! I played a song called Air for Band by Frank Erickson, and it was beautiful. Blue in Green was my second tuba song, and I played this during my winter concert and we were amazing!! Now I'm going to Bemidji High School for 8AA North Regional Large Group Band Contest on the 3rd of April. We're playing Blue in Green Music and A Holsinger song called Prairie Dances. I play percussion Bass drum for Prairie Dances. Wish me luck at Contest!!!

Whenever my band director was going over scores and he read this note it was one of my favorite moments of band all year because as a horn player I loved this piece and would give everything I had while playing this piece and would write everything down (even though i usually dont) but this piece means so much to me and I'll remember it and listen to it when i need some joy back in my life.
