my band director also wants me to play it for the next concert. We're going to play the whole song, so it's going to be about 10 minutes long. I hope i don't fall asleep. This music is soo relaxing.

-
Oboe...eeeeee! :D
-
this truly is a amzing song... wow, just amazing
-
@morimocchan I agree with @onewiththepiano. Also, use the left Eb key when going to the Db!
-
Being from New Hampshire myself (I'm no longer in NH, sadly), I can identify with what you said about King. And, of course, if anyone could somehow put such a feeling on a page, it would be C.S. Lewis.

I agree completely. I played this piece in college, and it has always reminded me of the music from _The Shawshank Redemption_, which gets at that same feeling. Stephen King also evokes it in _Salem's Lot_, when he is describing how fall and winter come to Maine. Beautiful writing. It's what C.S. Lewis calls by the German word "Sehensucht" (in _The Problem of Pain_)--that yearning for God-knows-what.
-
We did this my senior year; I still can't hear this piece without getting misty-eyed. It's such a breathtaking and beautiful song - the sense of yearning heard throughout is difficult to put into words.
-
Amazing.
-
Spoke too soon. :/
-
If not, every high school band should! This piece is beautiful.

my band director wants us to play this song this year and i'm the only oboist so i get the solo. but i don't know if i can play that well. ._. any oboists have any advice? ><
really love this piece by the way :D it's beautiful.

@morimocchan Just make sure you start each note with enough air. A lot of young oboists especially try to blossom into the notes when they are trying to play soft and musical. Good luck!
