[@DanielCano97]

Guess after 5 years I can brag... this piece was commissioned for my High School (East Stroudsburg High School NORTH) Band. Our band director had selected Mr. Galante for many reasons but I’m sure 1. our first chair senior euphonium player loved his compositions (he actually ended up having Mr. Galante write a mini score for a film project he did later in college) and 2. Mr. Galante’s famous lyrical concert band writing for the horn. I won’t forget the day my band director called me into his office to inform that he had just received the score and he told me “I made sure to tell Mr. Galante that we have an exceptional horn player so in the opening 6 bars he has you with the main theme and and only a few bars later has you go up to a high A... good luck😉”. Proud to have come from a school with such a fine music program. So for the rest of you Principal Horn players doing this in high school... my turn to say good luck and have fun❤️

Completely forgot about this dude's pieces, but wow are they great! Every Rossano Galante piece I played back in my band days felt like an epic film score, and they turned out to be some of my favorite songs throughout high school band (heck, I was watching these videos back then, too, hoping my band would pick up The Falls!). I played Afterlife with a concert band in my county, then I was slated to play the clarinet solo in Red Rock Mountain at 1:40 with my high school band, but the concert got canceled because of COVID (this was back in 2020). It's crazy to think that time flies this fast, though -- seven years since this got recorded and four years since that concert (I can hardly believe this as I type it out). I feel old (and nostalgic) already.
