Beautiful arrangement, masterfully performed...
Ludwig Van would've been proud...❤

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind words!

What an arrangement! I've arranged the Pathetique for bone ensemble and wind ensemble, but this arrangement blows me away. Magnificent! I'm taken back to the days of Stan Kenton with the instrumentation here...flugelhorns, baritones, tuba...how rich and warm. I think Kenton, with all his big band experimental orchestrations, would have appreciated this arrangement. Well-performed, band!

Yeah. Gorgeous wind instruments. I feel like bill Evans playing a baritone euphonium.
This like a very romantic bebop
