What a tremendously beautiful piece! I brought along my 10 year old, who is a budding flutist. She was riveted. Kudos to the band students at Stuart. It was a difficult piece, but for a high school band, they were phenomenal! Just returned from the concert at Stuart. What a tremendously beautiful piece!

It even stopped raining this morning! We are passing around your Tanglewood-has-a-band post by email today. It's PERFECT! My violist was surrounded by her band friends when the post was discussed, and although they poked her as though she was Orchestra, she knows how Composer feels -- Band is her true love. Thank you for enriching the Wind Ensemble repertoire! Dateline – Friday before the premiere:
