Great sounding group, but that sax solo is sooooo wonky! Wonk wonk wa wonk wonk.... It must be nimble, quick and careful, like a little mouse running down the side of the volcano burning his feet because of the hot rock beneath him! Ta taa, te ta taa...very light and bouncy, no?

Loved the Euphonium score of this piece. Definitely a fun challenge with driving energy that keeps moving the piece forward from the legato Oboe/woodwind section and dramatically changes into a brass movement. Loved the transitioning of this piece!

@TheThingamajig I haven't smoked anything ever in my life. It's called creativity, curiosity, and awareness.
