Voices of the Sky - Samuel R. Hazo

Great song written by Samuel R. Hazo.

[@KaosKreator2014]

We had a former band member who graduated last year pass away on St. Patrick's Day this year. The entire band program was close to her, and her death left a huge hole in our organization. We decided to dedicate this song to her memory at our concert. I have never seen or felt such emotion in a band piece. Besides it already being beautiful, our rendition of it, filled with emotion, was phenomenal. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Love you Mandy. RIP.

Amazing song I really enjoyed playing it with the McDonald Junior High Honors band. I was the trumpet soloist and well I loved this song. Great piece of music.

Hazo came to my school!! He is seriously the best composer at the time right now

[@seabassgaming2299]

Well this is a good song I'm the 83rd person to comment

[@meghan-not-thee-stallion97]

That moment when you find the song you played in band back in high school

[@Legendheart137]

I play the trumpet!!!! This song is the most beautiful i've heard in awhile, and i listen to a lot of band songs!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

[@mattma2195]

wow when the trumpet plays that solo...pure musicality. so moving

[@JediTrombonist]

Just one word is all I can thing of ... WOW!!!!!

[@Wyren09]

Thank you for posting this, I loved this song during high school band. Moved me to tears.

[@obg98]

Great memories that band gave many of us! I remember playing this in middle school and we got superior ratings cause we played the s*** out of it....

[@marine9588]

This piece is legendary. It remind me of such panoramic scenes ive visited like the ones shown in the video.

[@medranoedith549]

The high school honor band played this at the Greater Phoenix Music Festival. It was amazing!!!

[@aobeirne12]

I'm the trumpet soloist on this piece in band. It's an awesome song.

[@SennaGORE]

I miss high school band SO much. :(

[@myfeet77]

guess what? the first and third pictures are the same place, the first in july/august, and the third in the winter!

[@Babyjae3216]

Inderkum High played this 👌👌👌👌

[@Musicmanmurrell]

From what I've heard of Hazo, he has a very special place in his heart for a fast tempo, although he certainly shows that he isn't a one tempo composer in this piece, it moves pace around 3 or 4 times while still maintaining his own style. I enjoy this piece :)

[@IrishLebaneseBeast]

I've never heard this specific song by Hazo, but damn, is it fantastic.

[@kelechio1998]

My band just played this song last night at our concert.

[@TheMzlala123]

Haha i luv dis we did this for our uil when i waz in middle school.i loved it!!!!

[@coleh9241]

We were supposed to play this for UIL, but COVID cut us short.

[@devinequisenberry9542]

so beautiful

[@EvilAmbriz626]

Honestly one of the best pieces i have played even though i played the suspended cymbal it was an amazing piece and by far one of my all time favorite pieces my high schools wind ensemble played

[@Snaperkid]

I hate the fact that I don't have a recording of my bands performance of this. Our trumpet soloist, who was a freshman at the time, became a nationally recognized soloist.

[@TheSPAWN102]

[@NeuronRage]
