Played this in band when I was in high school, now hearing it for the first time in nearly four years, just as magical as when I played it!

Yael Feder it was my senior song in high school and it is just pure beauty listening to it. My favorite piece of music I've ever played.
@MeganAsmus3 жыл бұрын
We played it for the first time my freshman year and we loved it so much that we picked it for our graduation performance my senior year. I was first chair flute so I got the solo towards the end. My band director was a huge James Swearingen fan, so we played a lot of his stuff, but this was our favorite.

This was my senior song in high school. This and Light Eternal where my to favorite pieces to play, as a trombonist the heavy low brass is just amazing, it send shivers and memories up my spine every time I listen. James Swearingen is one of my favorite composers and I've never disliked or turned down any of his scores. They are beautiful.
5:17 That low brass sound! I played this piece my freshman year as a 1st trombone :) I loved playing that part at 5:17 :P

Personally, I’ve never played this piece, and probably won’t for another two years. My high school symphonic band needed a tuba, so me, a trombone player in the wind ensemble (auditioned based) sacrificed an elective period to play tuba. I needed to practice, so I used this piece that the upper class men were using for their concert. (I was a freshman.)

I think it's cool to learn what grades and school/universities people have played it at. It's also cool to learn what instruments people play (: But, in the comments it's annoying to see "1 chair oh yeah soooo easy" if it was that easy then why did you play it? You're supposed to challenge yourself. (: That's what music is about. I love this piece, I had trouble playing it when I first got it, but now it's just really fun to hear my whole band play it (: That's what music should feel like :D
