Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons - Steven Reineke (with Score)

A major work for advanced bands that utilizes the full resources of the modern concert band/wind ensemble. Solos for flute, alto sax, oboe, euphonium, horn, and trumpet. Vast dynamic contrasts as it builds from soft delicate sections of just a few instruments to huge tutti sections of massive symphonic proportions. A truly exception composition that is sure to become a standard of the band repertiore. OUTSTANDING IN EVERY RESPECT!
Recorded by the Washington Winds under the direction of Edward S. Petersen

This isn’t just just a song, it’s a whole story in one

[@zurknjurk]

in my opinion that's what makes good music. doesn't need lyrics, just a title and music to paint a picture, or even a story.

7:38 is my favorite part. My girlfriend played this tonight for her band concert. This is such a cool song and me being the big fantasy nerd I am can picture a small village in the fog as we slowly come up on it. Everyone is going about their daily life and in the back we can see the mountain. A brave solider venturing out to find this dragon. With the help of a wizard. The soldier gets homesick some nights but he knows that he has to find this dragon to save his home. Then the dragon can be seen flying. “IT’S THE DRAGON!!!” The majestic creature flying through the air. He comes up on the dragon. Woah!!! Look at that dragon!!! Such a mighty creature! Flying around and spitting fire as he flies. “There he is! He found him! Now he can save us.” Lol I’m sorry I had to go on a whole thing

[@solar._.dragons224]

My brothers just played this last night in their spring concert and its literally fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

[@Dognoise-mz9tt]

When I played this song in band, I was the clarinet soloist and loved every part of this song

[@weirdhalf-blood9460]

I played the chimes for my band and I will always love that part. Almost everyone in my band loves this song

[@bubxerker1822]

I'm a junior, we just started playing this for our highschool spring season concert, it's so good, I'm a cellist so I end up playing the bassoon parts.

[@cooperraep]

You’re going to love this song.

[@Lightning7112]

My group has also started playing this piece for spring, what a coincidence...

[@hope8838]

So has mine 😄

[@jenniferkinder6744]

Same

[@justin.maccormack]

Played this almost 10 years ago when I was in 8th grade band. Beautiful piece.

[@justindriessen]

aaaa my first ever oboe solo! such a great piece

[@alliebenally4581]

the oboe solos are beautiful

[@Ginal577]

But quite hard, so there are not that mutch good oboe solos sadly

[@VavafsEtMouton]

I'm not the 1st oboe but I would love to play them (playing this in the city's orchestra)

[@VavafsEtMouton]

Actually, I'm doing the solos now 😄

[@dooglassdorenal7875]

There are no oboes in my orchestra so the first flute plays them 😅

[@EmmaKelley-fe2pj]

I love this song, my band teacher is having us play this song for our March concert, can’t play the whole piece sadly because there’s 7 other groups playing at the concert, but he kept all the good stuff including some of the solos :)

[@jarretttorres1733]

Played 4th horn for this piece in 10th grade, still love it 8 years later!!

[@Mr_Gray_1995]

Played this in 2012, oh how fast time flies

[@lukewithers5564]

I’m in sixth playing the horn and I play it because it’s a cool and challenging instrument but also bc when it comes to band I want to be like my dad who got a horn solo in high school with this piece. The horn parts are cool

[@Ginal577]

Keep rembering:) the horn is one of the difficultest instruments… and ur sond gos in the background so when someone says ur bad.. dont lissten.. most horns in bands are the bests :)

[@eliherzer3078]

One of my favorite all time songs

[@rhysiscool53]

i played this piece in my local youth band recently, and i gotta say even with 3rd trumpet this piece was such a blast!!! so many good moments ❤

[@jonathanbil3154]

Played this my sophomore year on the first trombone part, such a amazing piece of music!

[@StephlyProjectile]

played snare, bass drum, and bells for this song. sooo fun.

[@thenarwhal8260]

I love the alto sax solo in the beginning

[@arianad3018]

I have the flute solo in the beginning lolll

[@2blud]

6:24 Love the buildup and 6:31 Love this part

[@Turmpett]

I was first trumpet in my HS's Wind Symphony when we played this, and I swear to God the trumpets (specificailly me) made this piece 80 times louder. XD

[@Bornsteler]

From fellow trumpet to trumpet, better loud than quiet :)

[@Pixel_Emper0r]

Totally relatable

[@Ortal1]

Wow i love pilatus

[@potatogamer5559]

playing this piece at my cities biggest theater venue in a week... on the timpani no less! very excited to play this piece, its so wonderful! reminds me of games like dragon age a bit

[@why_u_not_smart]

Played this as a Jr. I was the Clarinet soloist and loved every moment of the solo. There were other clarinet ones but I was the only one who actually played the solo.

[@cooperraep]

That oboe 😍

[@chicken7418]

8:24 is the best part

[@amyjwebb7937]

Wow, I love this!

[@AdrianoBatera-gj1nx]

Sensacional 😊

[@salems.bytche]

You can def tell that this and Witch and The Saint are composed by the same person. Regardless, still a stunning piece. I graduated this past year, but I might send this to some of my friends that are still in the band 👀 See if they can get our director to have them play it I played Witch and the Saint in my senior year it was such a rush It’d be so cool to see them play another Reinke piece

[@jaxonthehalloween1812]

I'm very lucky I got to play both in the same year (sant for wind essamble I played timp) and this one I playing in community band and play snare and hi hat

[@pugsriel]
