This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I used to work with Michael's dad, Saul Kamen, in the dental clinic at Long Island Jewish Hospital (in the geriatric center). I had met Michael at a holiday gathering many years ago. I had no idea I was in the presence of such a genius creator. He seemed to be a very kind and humble guy. What depths of emotions he must have had access to bring such moving pieces to life and to touch other's souls with his music. Sad he had to leave us so soon...
I'll never be able to listen to this without seeing the Phantom Regiment coming out of the Tunnel at finals in 2010 in my head....beautiful music, beautiful performance.
Wow. This is the most breathtaking experience I've had in a long time. I can't believe that a group of musicians can make such beautiful music. I hope that I can one day be a part of an ensemble like this. So many great memories brought back from my marching band's arrangement of this literature.
This is such a beautiful piece of music! I wondered the first time I heard it on the radio if it was written by the same person who composed the score for Mr. Holland's Opus... And now come to find out it was! I love the sense of wonder and grandeur in Michael Kamen's music! Such rich emotional resonance.
+Kate Rice The first time I heard of Michael Kamen was this piece, the Into The Light movement of New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms. I was actually on a flight home from Dallas to LA, and listening old school to the in-flight music channel on the plane (does anyone ever anymore??). I was 20 minutes out of LA, descending from 20,000 feet, coming through great big puffy cumulonimbus clouds, and as you pointed out --his music soars, with a dynamic sense of grandeur. I actually became very emotional, looking out the porthole window at the beauty of the afternoon sky, hearing this music...the build to the climax and resolution...and I was a sloppy crying baby....to this day this piece still draws intense emotion, and I'm not an outwardly emotional guy. When I heard that Michael had passed some years later, I was really sad for Earth. We lost a true adjudicator of nature and God's masterworks.
I heard this in band class today...we were asked to listen to it and write the images that came to our heads. I wrote about a forest. In it was a brook. There was a little family of deer, birds chirping overhead, and two little wolf pups playing on a spring day. Then, at the climax, a herd of horses gallops across the plains on one side of the forest. That's obviously not as detailed as on paper, but that's what I think about when I hear it ^^
You can still turn on my water works all these years later, MK. You were such a light...in my life and to the World. I miss you and your energy immensely!!
If the object of creating music is to elicit emotion, this piece certainly has achieved that goal. at least in my opinion. I first heard portions performed by the Phantom Regiment in 2010 before I heard the original version. I remember my initial reaction to their "Into the Light" show. It was of profound sadness, and I thought of death. I dont know why. My reaction to hearing the original was much the same. I envision people entering a chapel before a funeral to this music. I think it fair to say that I love the original and the interpretation by the Phantom Regiment.
Was so excited a couple of weeks ago when I heard this playing in the background of the main menu for band of brothers. I have been watching that series for years. I was so happy when I heard this
I guess few people know that this was in Band of Brothers before it was in the phantom show. A series that will always strike the heart of every thrill seeker, history buff, and the artistically inclined.
I tried to no avail to get the manuscript of this for a regional Orchestra event I was hosting... Next time I get the chance to host I am not stopping until i find who holds the copyright to it. This piece needs to be performed!
Hands down, THE most beautiful pre show selection in Drum Corps International history.
I had tears in my eyes when Phantom played this in 2010!!!:') That brassline and Rennick's arrangement for percussion was spot on! SUTA!

I learned about this piece thanks to Phantom. I love Michael Kamen.

I’m OBSESSED with this peace this is our 2017 show and this is my first year marching
You can still turn on my water works all these years later, MK. You were such a light...in my life and to the World. I miss you and your energy immensely!!
From childhood to adulthood, his music has carried me.
Omg we played this in my high school marching band. By far the greatest piece I've heard in my life.
Caleb Price do you mean the school I'm going to?
We based our show off of phantom regiments show. This is some epic music.

My favorite Phantom show
PHANTOM REGIMENT 2010
Was so excited a couple of weeks ago when I heard this playing in the background of the main menu for band of brothers. I have been watching that series for years. I was so happy when I heard this
it's similar. Not sure which he wrote first but one was clearly inspired by the other.
The Band Man He wrote this first.
I guess few people know that this was in Band of Brothers before it was in the phantom show. A series that will always strike the heart of every thrill seeker, history buff, and the artistically inclined.
not the same music, but similar.
This came out earlier in the same year as Band of Brothers.
my marching band is playing this in our show
Chris Bell we performed this as our second movement this season
I almost think the PR arrangement is better. Nothing beats a warm brass ensemble playing this.
its completely different. Like not comparable. lol
8 years ago mindset
Absolutely beautiful. :')
PHANTOM REGIMENT FTW!!!!!!!
I was at DCI when Phantom played this. Their entrance in the tunnle stunned the audeience. We were like oh jizz.
That's funny... two years later I looked it up for 7th Regiment.
Really just sounds like a rearrangement of Kamen's Band of Brothers soundtrack.
SUTA.
Good stuff. Very moving
@IRCraziestTaxi You marched Phantom 2010!?!?! :O
haha, it has a similar tune to the "band of brothers" soundtrack, which phantom regiment also played
Fucking genius. Michael Kamen will always be my greatest inspiration.
If I ever get my external hard drive fixed I have the Full Score on it for the whole work.
Suta 😌
Does anybody know if there is an arrangement of this for wind/concert band?
I tried to no avail to get the manuscript of this for a regional Orchestra event I was hosting... Next time I get the chance to host I am not stopping until i find who holds the copyright to it. This piece needs to be performed!
you should contact with MIchael Kamen State
poweron8722 agree. I know it’s out there, I have seen pdf’s of the score.
@MrJesszilla321 something you'll only know if you march Regiment. :)
Band of Brothers themes, Great!
kind of, yes. Not sure which came first.
The Band Man this did by a smidge. Band of Brothers came out in September of 2001. This was earlier that year.
@DaJmsta because Michael Kamen also wrote the score for Band of Brothers.
i love it. where can i download this?
Sounds like Band of Brothers Suite II ... 🤗
DeFilmKater it isn’t. It’s a different piece of music composed earlier in the same year.
Where can i find sheet music for this please tell me :(
Where can I download the mp3 audio to this?
