Into the Storm, by Robert W. Smith - Score & Sound

[@roach.-.chillin]

You know ur a band kid when u scroll through KZbin and just look at scores for pure enjoyment. Love this piece its so energetic and graceful at the same time.

[@jaredavalles]

Yes, you are correct.

[@ArchJ17]

Rip Robert w smith. You wrote the first ever solo I played in a concert setting and were one of the many composers that have inspired me to write myself.

[@technoeggnog]

This just made me search it up… this song suddenly felt a lot more somber to me.

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

I still can't believe he passed away. I heard it from a composer friend of mine, and I didn't believe it until I saw it myself. His piece, The Great Locomotive Chase, was the first I have ever conducted on KZbin. His legacy will be here forever, and his teachings will forever impact us all as musicians.

We played this in our band last semester. At around 2:10 there's supposed to be a gong hit. Our dear auxiliary percussionist, Sera, hit it wayyyyy too loud and scared everyone in the band, including the director. Me and the other percussionists just yelled "SERA!" in response. Best moment of that semester.

[@dehu3010]

I remember playing this piece with my band teacher a few years ago. He was literally everyone's favourite teacher and he shared happy and joyful moments with us throughout the year. Sadly, he moved away to a different school, and Into the Storm was the very last piece he conducted for us on the very last concert with him at our school. We emotionally spoke our goodbye speech to him and thanked him for the memories he made for us before we tearfully performed this piece. Everyone sincerely misses him after that night and every time I come here to revisit this piece, I think of him.

[@issaach]

That is LITERALLY my story except not the pre-performance speech. Also, that performance (graduation) was the first one I got to perform in orchestra for (instead of his beginning band). I was likely drafted because I was the ONLY brass instrument in the school, but I did work hard on my horn to get in. Trumpet BTW.

[@SylviaOfParadise]

My band teacher tended to…well, almost do that. I wonder if he started throwing things when he probably got moved to a different school.

The Robert W Smith Classic: Pick-A-Note

[@dootYT]

This song represents a hurricane. Reason being is the first part is intense which represents the first side of the hurricane. Then when the piece gets calm, it represents the eye of the hurricane where it is all calm and peaceful. Then it gets intense again representing the other side of the hurricane when it starts being chaotic again. Absolute masterpiece!
