Τετελεσται, by Andrew Boss - world premiere (UT)

[@nicholaswaldoch2937]

I’m playing this in my college’s Wind Ensemble, and even though we’re still in the process of learning, it is absolutely gorgeous

[@andrewboss2018]

Thank you everyone for your encouraging and supportive comments. I look forward to continue writing the best music I can for the medium.

Thanks, so much, for this monumental work for band. I have been told that in Greek times when a prisoner reached the end of his term in confinement they placed this in vellum outside the door where they were held. I means "paid in full?" Am I correct? "It is finished" is also so very heartbreakingly appropriate.

[@andrewboss2018]

@@brianbaumgarn5795 that's exactly correct

This piece is such a powerful journey and testimony. Thank you, Andrew! Soli Deo Gloria.

[@aidanshelton4491]

Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful.

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

I hope this was just a recording session, because this band deserves to play for full houses of fans, each and every time.

This is fantastic. I heard "Until Morning Come" for the first time last night performed by the Wilmington Symphonic Winds and was captivated. It was absolutely beautiful and incredibly moving. Thank you for your music.

I'm a conservative when it comes to music, film, and many other art forms. So when I first heard this I was not impressed, and this was not my first contemporary band piece. But, upon more and more exposure to it, I opened my eyes, ears and heart to this brilliant work of music. Its perfect use of colors with each wind and percussion instrument astounds me, and even with a lack of a clear melody, you are always aware of where this piece is going (aside from maybe one or two spots). This is just pure brilliance and I think the contemporary formula has just gotten one step closer to being perfected (that is for orchestral and symphonic ensembles). Thank you Mr. Boss for introducing this passion to the world and for personally opening my eyes to a new musical form. *B R A V O !*

Absolutely beautiful piece!!! Looking forward to hearing more wind pieces from you!!!!

[@kyleadomaitis4954]

One of the most incredible things I have ever heard. My university's wind symphony just performed this last week, and it left me utterly speechless. Such a monumental, awe-inspiring piece. Goosebumps every time.

[@cflores2525]

Mr. Boss, it is indeed "Finished!" and a wonderfully written piece!

[@tommyZEB]

I'm excited to hear more of your works! This is simply incredible, with an amazing performance as always by the UTWE and Jerry Junkin.

[@xavier2504]

This is AMAZING!

[@ViolaGMidi]

I like it a lot.

[@okbrowegetit2291]

Bro, this piece is too dope. I can't handle... fuck.

[@peytongray1911]

this is a masterpiece

[@kuang-licheng402]

good composition, conducting and performance

[@barryknezek1008]

Just doesn't reach my musical soul. Glad others appreciate this composition.

[@carbeeezy2203]

almost sounds like back to the future to me for some reason

[@aunyastevens3249]

If you wanna cry good tears, 6:10

[@theosmith1182]

I came to the comments literally to see if anyone would specifically ID out the gloriousness with the horns bells up at this point. Thank you for not disappointing.
