Thomas: Of Our New Day Begun

[@immortes]

One of the most sacred pieces I have every played, and I am honored to have done so.

[@matthewmiller1630]

Same here

[@snazzytangerine2539]

This is my favorite recording that I have found of this piece. Everything is done so beautifully. I was lucky enough to be able to play bass trombone on this piece about a year or so ago. It holds so much emotion and I couldn't be happier to have played a part in such an incredible piece of music.

[@crazycing4608]

My high school Allstate band played this and it sound amazing too

[@CXP3D]

Well I played first trombone, the plunger was painful!!! But it was worth it

[@benblessing]

Some of our best literature. I remember sitting in during BSU's symphonic winds band rehearsal before the pandemic and being blown away by this.

[@katiec_htx5574]

[@alexdaney6670]

Just saw this performed at Baldwin Wallace and got to meet Omar Thomas. Amazing person and such a great experience and such beautiful pieces

[@Aidan13547]

I played contralto clarinet on this piece for all county band and it is one of the most amazing things I have ever played.

[@Zsaxman60]

What a fantastic group! That was a great sax solo. Radical bass bone, I was looking for a chimbasa but didn’t see one.

[@isaacbarreras2106]

Aside from a live performance I saw from UNC Greeley, this is probably the best performance I’ve heard since then.

[@flyingpiggy1475]

Nothing beats a live performance

[@kenmccoy7448]

The story behind this piece really needs to accompany it.
