I'm a junior in high school, and Rossano Galante literally came in for the past week and conducted us for our concert, listening to this makes me feel like we didn't do so bad. My school is where he was born, Buffalo NY so he decided to come in for a cool experience and he was a great guy

[@JaviDavis-k2n]

Holy Jeebus You are one lucky dude

I love Galante’s works! They’re so beautiful, and it doesn’t hurt that they always have amazing horn lines My. Everest is probably my favorite piece I’ve played ever

[@solstice1510]

Rossano Galante really likes his French horns

[@teatrolites3446]

He does indeed

[@impractical1158]

I really love him cuz he knows how to write for flute, but I’ve been paying more attention to the French horns and yes he does write good parts for you guys too

[@ilikebread757]

lol unfortunately with this + vaughan williams my chops are DEAD

[@NoahShiley]

I am just gonna appreciate that this has a TRUE Bass Trombone part.

[@1200blackops]

Wow first comment on a Rossano song... glad to see he is still creating amazing music!

[@physes1139]

1200blackops ikr. And his work is still just as majestic and beautiful

[@quentinm.williams9]

i cant find any live performances of this

[@physes1139]

Quentin Williams>> I mean, it's still relatively new. So not many people have gotten a chance to record it yet. Or even perform it.

[@quentinm.williams9]

My form of Norm oh yea you are right. It is a bit hard and expensive. Probably. But it is beautiful.

[@cab1stborn]

1200blackops This song especially has good runs near the end. It’s all very reminiscent of a mix of transcendent glory and red rock mountain. Honestly I want him to make a song that’s both very majestic but at the same time is unforgiving to the upper winds.

[@cjshardcorepunkmusicvault8474]

Bravo - Mr. Galante has a grand understanding of low brass and how to utilize it properly. The Euphonium and French Horn part are sublime.

[@isabellea7913]

I miss my little high school band, each of us one to a part, playing our hearts out...

[@solstice1510]

Listen to how amazing the baritone part is at 2:10-2:23, hard to hear but its awesome. Love the French horns, woodwinds, and trumpets from 2:50-4:00. I also love the melody and counter melody at 4:10-4:27. I wish and pray I will be able to play this my last years of highschool.

Luis Martinez thats just standard single tonguing. It just requires some stamina

[@ryanrodriguez6545]

you could also triple tongue, when I played this, I triple tongued all the triplet parts
