I'm in 7th grade and I play the violin 1 part in this. All I have to say is ever since my orchestra got this piece, we fell in love with it. Every Friday we do requests and this is probably one of the most requested pieces. We're planning on playing this at a contest as well as Finale and A Soldiers Hymn. Can't wait for everyone to hear this piece because it's beautiful

Kind of reminds me of Beyong the Thunder because of the free feeling you get from listening but also the feeling that something bad is about to happen

[@frootytooty2257]

Yeah I was seeing if I was the only one who noticed that too, some parts in the piece sound like a mix of beyond the thunder and deep sea fandango combined which is kinda ironic since all 3 pieces are made by the same composer

I play bass and this song wasn't disappointing for my part. I really loved my part sadly covid hit and we weren't able to play it all together.
