This performance hall is absolutely amazing. The acoustics are godlike and the organ above the stage is absolutely gorgeous looking and sounding. Playing on this stage is a very special thing and I hope all these players realize it like I realized it yesterday and the day before while playing in the symphonic band at PLUs honor band weekend this year. <3 Gorgeous.

No. It was for his mother. We played this in band, and our director read the little passage thing to us: ". . . Her life was a noble song of quiet courage. With those words, Larry Daehn dedicated this composition to the memory of his mother. . . "
Regardless, it is a purely beautiful song. Great job to the band here. They put so much emotion into it, and it's just... Perfect.

this is beautiful but the melody was covered at 3:30.:(

@danohen1997 agree

Wow it sounds really good.

So this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard, we played it in my 7th grade band. I noticed that in this band there is one major problem. Everyone is hitting their notes and rhythms but no one is moving their phrases or anything. It sounds so much better when people don't just play the music and actually play it musically. Other than that great job

daaaaang such a big band

i think that they are rushing a tad, but i almost believe that the conductor is contributing to the fault: his motions and directing styles aren't very annunciated... thus leading to the students not having as strong of a visual metronome
I played this in band for a contest back when I was in middle school in the concert band. Very, very touching piece. One of the parents in the crowd began to cry. When I listened to this, I did, too. Excellent. Very well done.
