STEPHENSON Symphony No. 2, Voices: 3. Of One - "The President's Own" Marine Band

[@jerryli2538]

I had the opportunity to work with Jim on this symphony in high school (Bass Clarinet), a week before the pandemic hit. The ending to this movement under his baton had me tearing up. The rehearsal was positively one of the most influential moments in my musical career. It was a gateway for me to begin becoming invested in concert pieces for something more than the ink on the page. I can't describe how much this piece has impacted my life and my ability to connect with music. Thank you Jim, for your outstanding personality and pedagogy.

I'm just now seeing this. Thank you so much Jerry, for your comments. Sharing music with others is what makes life special for all of us. Hope we meet again!!

Oh...my...gosh

I attended a performance of this piece and the recording of this piece does not do a live attendance justice. The ending is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, in a good auditorium, it is LOUD haha

No recording can ever compete with a live performance.

Our band played it and it literally made me cry

[@shaunbeakley348]

I'm right next to the timpani and the tuba at the end and it is so much louder in real life

[@stickfigureinternational8972]

We’re playing this in rehearsal and the low brass is just way to loud, this recording seriously got nothing on the real preformance
