Flow will always be one of my personal favorites. It feels like liquid, flowing currently, random, yet predictable

[@TheBarkingCorgi]

I’m envious lol! This is what I’ve been searching for to happen for one of my music ideas … ☘️🎼🎶🎵… and to discover on a social media platform such as KZbin, etc. How cool …

[@Clivejvaughan]

Horns! Take those parts home and Sloooow practice for accuracy. You can do it! Very technically challenging piece. I’m sure it was fun to play.

[@Ethan-sg8ig]

Amazing bassoonist! not the easiest part

[@T-Slider]

First piece, Enough flourish and percussiveness for the next 1,000 pieces for band. A technical tour de force! Note for composer: should a melody occur to you, don’t hesitate to write it down. As of the first piece, the audience will have to go away humming the music stands! Bottom line: this technically dazzling group of young players was mis-lead into playing a program containing lots of notes, but little, to no music!

Why don’t you just be quiet and enjoy the piece.

I wonder if this is a troll account, but anyways....you posted the same dumb and baseless response on UT's performance of the Bryant "Trombone Concerto" and it still makes no sense. Do you always automatically write off the works of contemporary band composers as contain "lots of notes, but little to no music"? And since your comment is almost exactly the same as the one for the Bryant, I'll repeat what I responded back to you: Setting aside the fact that music DOESN'T need to have a melody, there is indeed melodic material that is found in all five movements of this work. In other words, there is a melody; you just chose not to listen for one! Kevin Day already has a prolific career as a composer at such a young age and continues to shine, including with this fantastic work; it's clear he knows what he's doing and knows how to write music, whether they contain melodies or not. You just talk nonsense and think that it's profound.

Dude probably only listens to chopin or some shit lmao

[@Baribrotzer]

@@jbridges-jj1rb Simple: if it doesn't sound like Mozart, and Mr. Who's-Trip-Trapping-Over-My-Bridge can't hum back it on first hearing, it isn't a melody.

No clue what this dude is saying, the grammar bro
