PRICE: $78.00
Series: Alfred Concert Band
Category: Concert Band
Level: 4 (Medium Advanced)
Since the beginning of time man has pondered what happens when our physical body dies. Some believe we go to Heaven. Others doubt its existence entirely. Then there are those who have had near death experiences and live to tell their stories. This composition starts delicately as peacefulness returns to the soul. It intensifies as we approach our new consciousness, constantly modulating between the two as we gain knowledge of our new surroundings. (4:45)

I played this my freshman year of high school, I’m a freshman in college now, and I literally cried as soon as I heard the first notes🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭

[@oceanswint7084]

Played this song last year for band at state for Oregon, and we got 3rd place, this year were playing red rock mountain, also by Rossano Galante, and we hope to get 1st place

[@AlexLiao15]

Good luck! :)

[@whalien_translations]

OH MY GOSH i played red rock mountain 2 years ago (and got 1st yeeeee), and played afterlife last year! obviously my band loved the red rock and decided to play another one from him :D

[@Looofii]

every time i listen to this piece i bawl my eyes out like this piece is so moving, props to Galante he is a musical genius

[@MorganL12166]

Wonderful song... We are doing this for our band concert. One of my favorites. Absolutely beautiful...

[@A_Loaf_Of_Beans]

Song hit all the nostalgic parts of my brain

[@randomwriter02]

I had to relearn the oboe for this piece, and now I'm back on that as my primary instrument.

[@allisonserenafaithe80]

I play the oboe too

[@emilyhuber73]

Yay!! Oboe pals!

[@nataliemathews7614]

[@mimi12821]

Such a nice band piece!

[@alyssastried1197]

you thought your part was boring but i play piccolo :)

[@skeletalking5537]

Alyssa Stried I play triangle

[@lovermuzak]

Basically a meme it depends on the piece but honestly it is the damn truth.

[@Solstice2820]

Such a lovely piece

[@dvs328]

So we’re just not gonna talk about the fact that euphoniums get a cool part

[@solstice1510]

Yes

[@solstice1510]

Euphonium part at 2:08, but every part of this song is cool if you can play every instrument😎

[@itsillegaltorobketchuppack4963]

I never played this song with a group but I found it on smart music and I played first alto saxophone and I loved my part when ever I played the 32nd notes I felt like I was gonna die but they are easy because they are like at sixty-seven beats per minute I think

[@itsillegaltorobketchuppack4963]

I would love to play this song with a group

[@Sid-gk2zf]

Ok dony get me wrong this is such an amazing piece, but noone talkin bout measure 17 with the saxophones😭😭

[@Davis9754]

my favorite parts: 1:36 - 1:53 2:05 - 2:35 3:02 - end (my most favorite)

[@Invisiblecommenter-]

Same tho

[@gibsoadstudios648]

I swear. Everyone I’ve showed this to had sworn they’ve heard this in a movie before. Can anyone name the movie it’s from. Or what it’s similar too???

[@ripley-pk8cx]

Gibsoad Studios i remember my friend talking about it too, let me get back to you

[@storeyclaire6920]

Gibsoad Studios Galante’s writing style is quite cinematic, so this is probably why! but if you do find out the name of a movie that sounds similar lmk :)

[@gibsoadstudios648]

Storey Claire my band teacher ended up messaging him and he said it wasn’t based off of anything in particular. So honestly for him to come up with a melody that’s original but familiar...genius

[@storeyclaire6920]

Gibsoad Studios I agree! he’s definitely become one of my favorite composers after playing this piece. I would recommend listening to some of his other stuff, another favorite of mine is called the falls. definitely would recommend

[@oliviabender2863]

Gibsoad Studios I doubt this is what you were thinking but for a bit I heard some familiarity to the Disney Pocahontas movie😂

[@excaliburrebel7881]

okay, there's this, but there's also this song but with singing, and I need to find hte name of it >:I

[@Jamie.maccini]

I know this is late but are you talking about Winds of Change by Randall Standridge?

[@JamesErnst-eq1gt]

This is my piece I’m conducting for my final assessment for my basic conducting class, and the conducting makes my arms super tired.

[@alliccielelven780]

This piece kinda sounds like something from Once Upon a Time combined with Home Alone to me 🤷‍♀️

[@user-megabob]

Like an afterlife to red rock mountain

[@_lifeasweknewit_4890]

Not me having to learning how to play this for my concert in 2 hours

This sounds a lot like Red Rock Mountain-by Rossanno Galante

[@andrewnicholas9672]

Dude needs to give the trombones more fun parts

[@bezanegash9217]

Right with you man

[@raina1513]

This reminds me of Mulan

[@oliviabender2863]

Reminded me a bit of Pocahontas

[@owenwoods4254]

2:05-2:35, best part

[@Invisiblecommenter-]

I think that is definitely one of the best parts

[@jaredferrin]

There are hardly difference between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd clarinet parts. They may as well make it one part.

[@apiphany1202]

2x2cuber14 if you think that seems similar look at ride the melodies are the same but the notes are different
