This is my tribute to David Maslanka, one of my favorite composers for wind ensemble.
From the performance notes for this piece:
"From the beginning, constantly experiment with the ff dynamic to find its full value. Many conductors fear making a bad sound, but until players actually experience the piercing nature of a true fortissimo they will not understand the energy of this music, or have the ability to produce a beautiful and balanced tone at a high dynamic level. No fear!" - David Maslanka
Experience the piercing nature of a true fortissimo. I just love that.

Great tribute, man. I was devastated to learn of his passing. But, of course, he will live on through the music he has created and also through the musicians that play that music. That's something I find enormous comfort in. Thanks for the video.

6:21 Pure saxophone bliss right there!
Amazing arrangement!!! Fell in love with this piece when we placed it my sophomore year in high school. The soprano sax was basically the oboe throughout the piece and I loved it!
This is absolutely unparalleled and incredibly done. I had the privilege to perform the percussion 2 part my senior year of high school and never connected to a piece quite like this. Amazing job!!
Dang, wonderful job! Are you going to do the second movement?
Thanks! I would love to do the second movement, but that would be a beast to arrange. I doubt I'll have the time to pull it off. But maybe one day!
Chris Bryant it would take a while but i can arrange you a second movement for saxophone
Everytime I play this i feel so much power at measure 80/big hit, but when i listen to it i don't feel it. However Listening to this Especially in the growing bit a about measure 55. I get that feeling
Fantastic arrangement and great job! What app did you use to create this masterpiece?
Thank you! I used Finale to make the sheet music arrangement, Ableton Live to record and produce the audio, and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit the video
I'm trying to follow along with my sheetmusic... still dont know what's happening
Am I tripping or do I not see a bari?
