Played this for my final piece. I probably cried through 90% of it

[@BarbaraSimpson-gj8rt]

Im so glad that im not the only one who cries through the performance! I sometimes cant see the music and feel very foolish because of it...

[@King_Loteo]

Nah this ain't how to train your dragon... This is how to practice your strings

[@alexandergoodman5014]

I’m supposed to play this with a full high school orchestra in May. Everyone is SUPPOSED to have seen this video and started practicing by now, because it’s not an easy piece for us. *if even a single person practices I’ll be happy*

[@alexandergoodman5014]

Update: we’ve cut 35 measures-the middle-because no one is ready. Concert’s in 3 weeks 🫠

Absolutely phenomenal piece! As a fellow flute player also playing this for the wind symphony 2:25 is my favorite part. Just ethereal

[@cboyx_]

Played this piece as first trombone this last year in school. I love how the whole piece just flows its really pretty

[@LauraHartness]

Well done! Will play along with you as I practice. Performing this on 4th Horn in April 2023.
