With a unique blend of flowing lines and lush textures coupled with dynamic Celtic drumming, Sam has created a very stylized and effective setting for wind band. Interspersed are quiet moments with soloistic woodwind lines that contrast nicely with the emotional full band passages.

i wish i could listen to this for the first time again

[@tobymcgarthland6485]

Hopefully you can hear it again 2 years later and not remember what it sounds like :) I first heard it in a concert band rehearsal and got emotional it's just such a powerful piece

[@millerpatino7156]

Im hearing it for the first time rn

[@jacksonziesmer]

We played this last fall. Made everyone cry for our teacher who died. The reason we chose this song😢

[@tacobell1880]

No way same, our director has been pushing to play this and the one year we agreed and actually did he passed the same year so we dedicated it to him

[@jskarz1221]

So sorry about the losses for both. May they rest in peace 😢🕊️

[@abandandmooso3489]

We're playing this for our next concert, as a trumpet player im excited, its amazing Sidenote: I cant not hear How to Train Your Dragon written all over this

[@caseythemistake3894]

This song will forever be in my heart, as it was the last gift to our beloved band director. Everyone misses him.

[@garlic_bread_toast4403]

It will always be in my heart too because this is the very last song my band plays of every year, and in the middle of the piece, the seniors start getting up and leaving. The worst/best part is whenever there's fermatas or at the end of the piece, all you can hear is the band trying not to cry. This year we're thinking about doing it for state but I don't know if that's a good idea because on one hand we would put a lot of emotion into the song, but on the other hand we can't start crying midpiece. Thoughts?

[@Kalyptoisea]

​@@garlic_bread_toast4403it should be a class vote and decided by majority. If they want to share their piece out loud, then let it be shared. Music is an expression on emotion. If the kids have the heart of the song then it should be expressed as well. I love this piece when my band director first introduced it (because I'm a biased trumpet player)

[@garlic_bread_toast4403]

@@Kalyptoisea Honestly, the best part about this piece is how inclusive it is because the horns, piccolo, percussion, saxes, and apparently trumpets too, love this song because they have the best part in their own eyes. Also we ended up not doing it for state but we did way better than last year. This year we got 17/20 and last year we got 20/20

[@Kalyptoisea]

@@garlic_bread_toast4403 DANG PROPS! I actually like the song now only because of that detrimental chord when everyone plays and comes to a stop. It gives shivers

[@imromero6599]

I love this piece!! I played this on piccolo my sophomore year of high school. So beautiful 😭❤️

[@lillywhite4599]

I have to do both piccolo and flute and I have to choose where to switch off!!! But it is really beautiful

[@Jaxgismo]

Just heard a band in Jacksonville, Fl play this piece. The band director, whom I sat under for 4 years, was retiring after teaching for 54 years. I was crying throughout the piece.

[@boltcry]

Love this song, probably my favorite that we played in Region band in my sophomore year. I'm I senior now. Yesterday's joy indeed. Songs like this make me remember why I love music and band. My high school band is trash and plays grade 1s, I never realized this was a grade 4

[@lillithwatson]

It was my first technical solo song since I was the only bass clarinet in my band and I loved it.

[@RodderickPrinceParker]

Playing the drums on this was the blessing I didn’t know I needed

[@lisaclarinet]

just got home after a concert where we played this, so so beautiful❤

[@austinorlikowski768]

First time I played this, the first notes I had (0:34 trumpet 1) I fell in love with this piece. So beautiful

[@andoraevans5128]

The first time I heard this I cried. And every time since. Such a beautiful piece.

[@AbigailWatson-d5i]

Played last spring for high school MPA and got to do the piccolo and flute solos as a senior. First time we played it my diroector teared up and when we played at MPA we got all superiors. This song will forever have a space in my heart and I hope to conduct it with my future band students as a band director! ❤️

yes! and also quite a bit of the woodwind parts remind me of his 'perthshire majesty' too - you can definitely tell which pieces are his

[@carolinesummers5091]

So lol we were supposed to play this for competition but covid but I loved this song. It was when I was a 1st flute and it was so fun

[@ChasJanWanns]

The Cabrillo College Symphonic Winds will have a virtual concert on May 11, 2021 6:30pmPST. Come and watch us LIVE on KZbin. I'll cover the piccolo and flute parts since COVID safety measure shrunk our band to just 20 or so members so not all parts are covered...better than doing it 100% on line though!!! Beautiful piece...
