Michael's exciting new piece for developing groups is one of his best - filled with tone clusters, percussive effects, and a driving rhythmic feel, and a sizzling, climatic coda. Each season, directors look to Michael for their contest or festival work that will keep students intrigued and motivated. Beyond the Seven Hills is certain to be a choice of teachers who insist on top quality teaching literature for their bands.

My band teacher told us that this song is based on the fall of the Roman Empire.
0:00 is supposed to be them living in peace
0:48 is the Barbarians coming
1:17 is the Barbarians attacking the city
1:55 is the Romans planning on how they will fight the Barbarians
2:26 is the battle (with the lower saxophone melody as the Barbarians and the trumpets as the Romans)
2:50 are the Romans losing the battle thinking back to earlier that day when they had an empire
3:09 The rest of the battle
btw I put this in cus u forgot about the end of the roman empire and byzantines defeated it at the end of the piece.
I KNEW IT WHEN I HEARD “7 hills” cuz Rome is built on seven hills

I heard that the trombone was used years and years and years ago in churches as part of the choir because men where the only people to sing in the choir and the trombone resembles a male voice and its nickname is the holy instrument. I play the trombone
Middle school band PTSD from the winter concert thank God I'm now a freshman in high school and have to play suza for 4 years ya #precussion fun
this but at around 15 the band director said the highs are licking her face
When 1:16 starts it's so good
i imagine some school doing a world wide trip to italy or greece to perform this piece
I think im falling behind as a Euphonium- I’m in 8th grade and can’t get the first note out ☹️
You’ll get it eventually dw dw

Bassoon gang rise up!
1:30-1:58 was and still is my favorite part
Im playing this this year im in 8th :) this song is sk fun and catchy
We played this piece 2 years ago when I was in middle school before our director moved away as a goodbye and thank you piece. He was the best director I've ever had.
This is such an amazing peice. Too bad I'm in 7-2 so won't be able to play this
the trumpet part for this is a little challenging i have to say. love love loveee this song though :)). (im in 7th grade)
I'm learning this song rn I'm so excited
I need to talk to whoever wrote the trumpet 1 part for this. Who in the world thought that a middle schooler could play that???
the horn at measure 102 is the best
we are playing this song in band and i can’t wait to perform it btw it’s 6th grade band
I was supposed to play this at a concert for school, but I was injured the day of the concert and would not be able to attend it because I couldn't walk. ;(
I play trombone.
I'm curious to know which Seven Hills this very nice piece is picturing/describing.
Are they the Seven Hills surrounding Seven HiIls City in Ohio or the Seven Hills at Rome, Italy?
I'm planning to play this lovely piece with one of my bands.
In the habbit of giving both musicians and audiences musical information about performed pieces I would be very grateful to anyone who could give me the requested and possibly more info.

I love the part where the clarinets join the horns at 3:08. It's so cool! But this feels more like a Grade 2 song. Probably because I'm really advanced than this song.
The grammar is still bad
