20:43-20:47 are we not gonna talk about the incredible velocity and height they are getting with a traditional grip on a BASS DRUM MALLET

[@richardjx5442]

The climactic last 5 minutes are right up there with Stravinsky’s Firebird from the horn solo on✅💥

[@kennydreadfuls861]

This piece is brilliant!!! I don’t know where this has been hiding, but wow!

[@JJBRMusic]

Up there with Mackey’s symphony. Just sheer beautiful, bliss and overwhelmingly programmatic. Ugh.

Great musicianship. Wish I could have been there in person to hear this live!

[@walkerfennell3718]

It was absolutely incredible!!

[@marcinkrol8375]

The ending is just a masterpiece. Great idea, brilliant orchestration and harmonization. Congrats for composer and orchestra!

[@kennydreadfuls861]

Seriously. This piece is very well crafted, paced, orchestrated, developed, etc… and the ensemble is just at their absolute best as is the conductor.

[@Sam-eg3mm]

This is a really beautiful piece. I originally had to listen to it for a school assignment, but it's probably one of the only symphonies that I'll actually come back to at some point

[@alaynajenkins9585]

I Went to my local college and saw their wind symphony play this. This masterpiece made cry and feel like I was going to vomit it was such a magical experience!! Go see this live if you have the chance it 100x better then it is in videos!!!!

[@anthonylam3922]

my favorite part

[@atlasasylum]

There are some hard woodwind parts right there

[@aaaaaaaaa5147]

cool

[@junejuly5967]

The end of the final movement is giving off a lot of Maslanka vibes

[@Badgeman96]

Omg I thought the same thing

[@czexan6134]

That's actually because the composer, Michael Martin, wrote this in tribute to Maslanka

[@junejuly5967]

Squirkle - oh, good to know

[@ROADHouse702]

This is amazing! Like some music frome Star Wars!

[@TallyHoTuba]

Is it just me or does the conductor look like Colonel Sanders?

[@Renee2004lr]

Just you. At least that's my perspective. He may look like someone else you know?

[@_nichrye]

is the audio out of sync or is it just my end?

[@Alienware173H]

No, if you're referring to the parts around 9:00, that's the piece :)

[@jerrykorten664]

And here I'm thinking - wow this group really has to know the conductor's style here because it sure looks like the downbeats come long before the sound. Wonderful playing and I do like the piece.
