This is such a beautiful piece, and I really thought so until our director told us what it was about!

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a piece as much as I’ve loved this one…except MAYBE October(Eric Whitacre). The high voices at measure 54, and the tenor sax/euphonium during the trumpets solo with their eighth note/triplet line, and the middle voices near the end with their sixteenth note run…they all give me more goosebumps that being cold. I love this song more than life itself

we just started playing this..i love it. the baritone/low reed solo at 3:06 is the coolest thing. i think they could have played it a lot more powerful though! the clarinets and flutes are beating the low brass!
and 3:41 clarinet/flute solo is beautiful. thats another great part.
but for some constructive criticism, this band really needs to work on balance and tuning. the solos are beautiful, but as i said, the high woodwinds are beating the low voices, and that shouldn’t be happening.

I sightread this in my Wind Symphony class today… My director told us what it was about and I felt it strike a chord deep inside me. The piece affects me personally, having been through some unpleasant things throughout my childhood… I love this piece so much. It is so very beautiful.

No words to …
No words to describe this one….
Camphouse really mastered the art of switching back and forth between tense “gross” for lack of a better word, sounding keys and clusters, to some of the most beautiful resolutions and keys.
It’s a pity that this piece is not more well known. I think it is because it is hard to appreciate this piece until you play it. I have not met a person who has played this piece on any instrument and has not fallen in love with it. It’s just too powerful.
