I played this song in chamber orchestra in 7th grade. I am a sophomore now in my high school’s symphony orchestra but this is still the best piece of music I’ve ever played. I am flooded with emotion every time I play and it just brings such a rush to me. This. This right here is the epitome of what orchestra means to me. I’ve had a roller coaster of emotions just like in this song. This is such a beautiful song I will remember forever. Thanks, Doug for such a wonderful composition. If you’re out there, thinking about quitting orchestra or your instrument, try to stick with it because you will one day find your across the wind :)

[@sofiasarzosa]

this piece deserves more attention :)

[@calebduprest6438]

When I hear this song, I think of running through the woods with my friends, carefree. Just me, my friends and the forest. It just makes me feel so good inside, it just brings a smile to my face.😌😀

[@liamfidller4319]

Huh, makes me think of some boat adventure.

[@Randomness-10901]

It sure does make me think of freedom and just being myself and being happy and i love it

[@viola0027]

Really? It makes me think of a flock of birds flying through the clouds

[@notanexploreranimations1218]

I played this song in orchestra back in 6th grade, and that was right before my big life problems started happening. So whenever i listen to this I remember the happy days.

[@sophie78985]

​@@notanexploreranimations1218 bruh same my life went spiraling outta control when I reached 6th grade last year

[@S3NTRY_101]

I literally listened to this just once and now I can't stop clicking on this video.

My daughter is learning this. didn't know it was this pretty !!

[@goldenburnsglory6697]

Can this be the background music of my life??? This is so amazing I want to play this in orchestra so bad!

[@musicstuff698]

I remember first hearing this in 8th grade and fell in love with it. I just graduated, and throughout high school, I’ve had the opportunity to play in different youth orchestra playing Shostakovich symphony no. 5, Scheherazade, Tchaikovsky romeo and juliet overture, yet, I always come back to this piece. It does not require immense difficulty or complexity to be interesting or beautiful. What an amazing piece

[@zhongkaiwang954]

My favorite piece calms my baby when he cries

[@l.plante]

It also calms me down when I'm really hyper. This piece is amazing

[@nothankyou9389]

Through my journey as a musician, I remember this as the 1st piece that I have ever played in my orchestra.....It still brings back memories when I was a beginner.

[@crazy_lol3111]

this may seem morbid, but in my will, i will write that i want this song played at my funeral. i feel like it signifies a passing into the afterlife with god. you are flying with the birds up to heaven, and it’s such a wonderful song.

[@ellascott9401]

this song is purely beautiful and so fun to play, and it always made me smile when i played it.💕💕💕

[@ellascott9401]

I LOVE THIS PEICE SO MUCHHHH

[@indiabiologyexplains5013]

This piece as soon as it was handed to us in class sounded like some theme that would be in an anime to me.

[@aeiswaryapvs1510]

This is such a happy & sweet song

[@spicecake7449]

It's an anime opening and ending combined.

[@Grace17524]

Takes me back to HS orchestra competitions. Music that has feeling is always played the best this song will always be my favorite I've played.

[@liamsorrells1571]

I did this piece in 7th grade orchestra

[@veeaya]

[@veeaya]

CTheScienceKid its a hard piece

[@veeaya]

CTheScienceKid the slow part is easier, but the part with the fast slurs tripped me up. I played this last year

[@veeaya]

CTheScienceKid if you count the timing in your head it's easier

[@veeaya]

CTheScienceKid if you like this song, ask to play "today" by Robert Gardener and farandole and build me up butter cup in 8th year

[@isakartang601]

Brings me special memories of 9th grade

[@anika1899]

IM A PROUD VIOLA! I love this song, and it does remind me of Mario Galaxy. Wish I played this in orchestra

[@l.plante]

@Krishna Dick Each instrument is great in its own way. There really is no best instrument (but orchestra instruments are better than band instruments)

[@yandere-cutie4460]

Me and my orchestra group are learning how to play this song

[@Adrian-fo3sc]

Lucky, advanced orchestra played it last year when i was prep🙁

you can find it on jw pepper

[@sofiasarzosa]

You can find it online but if you wanted to print one, it would cost $50 and would come in multiple sheets for an orchestra

[@christian7978]

Just type in across the wind Doug Sparta pdf and you’ll find it for free. Printable..... FOR FREE

[@NewgirlNola]

I like to imagine a montage of a lively medieval town when I hear this piece.

[@crazymariofan03]

Playing this on bass and its so hard...😅🎻

[@notanexploreranimations1218]

Anyone else motivated by music? I am- and this is one of the songs :3

[@calebduprest6438]

A truly amazing song. Our orchestra is great. I am going to ask if we can play this song for our concerts this year. I like the calm parts and then they jump to the melody. I can picture our conductor directing this song.

[@NaxNestoris]

played this for an orchestra festival event, I can play the entire piece from memory. it's so fun

[@oliviarose3445]

My sister and I love this

[@solenaj0y]

This is such a beautiful piece! 🌸💞

[@averystephens5329]

love this song! i am playing this in a concert in a couple of weeks and im excited!

[@ellascott9401]

i’m doing this for my freshman winter concert!!

[@donnayocum9321]

I play Bass so I'm Kinda forgotten about 😕 but I love it when I get melody for a first in forever😝

[@DougSpata]

Donna Yocum Basses have a very important function in ensemble music - you're the foundation for the piece's harmony. But I try my best to give you some melody whenever possible.

[@Randomness-10901]

I know this song was posted 4 years ago but it's so beautiful and it makes me feel free

[@annaghrardelli6378]

Can someone please tell me where Ive heard this before!!

[@elizabethjensen957]

Is that tamaki?

[@liamfidller4319]

This is the only happy song Doug wrote. (That I've seen)

[@DougSpata]

Liam Fiddler Check out Samba Del Sol, Star of Valor, Unbridled, A Spark of Courage and Enter the Laureates (to name a few). And it doesn't have to be in a major key to be happy. I think of Argent Edge and Iroquois Journey as being rather joyous.

[@bigbean702]

really wish me and my orchestra group could play this

[@rilakkuma_gurashi9464]
