Those upper woodwind parts are crazy!

Performed this in High School and it was one of my favorite pieces of music to be a part of. The goosebumps throughout.

[@joelallen5646]

As a percussionist I can tell you that it is in 5/4 that is the time signature

[@tjmatney8950]

It’s 5/4 at the beginning lol

[@thibbz]

lol it’s 4 at the start, 5/4 in the quick section, back to 4 in the slow section with a few 2/4 and 3/4 spots, 5/4 for a little bit and then the rest is in 6/4 minus a brief 5/4 phrase right before the ending.
