I wish I could still be in high school and still be in love with band music. It's the only thing I miss about that old place, and the only time I was ever actually in love with the music I was performing. This stands out as my personal favorite from my entire time there.
My high school and county band are performing this piece, and when I first heard the whole thing end to end I was crying. I couldn't stop. Mr. Bryant, continue to make music like this, because if this is only a beginning, I cannot wait to hear what might come next. Amazing work, amazing work.
Played this in band for our spring concert and (i play oboe) and i can say that it is one of the best pieces i have ever played. it is beautiful and perfectly dificult without being complex. the chords work wonders and the colors are beautiful and full.
I've played these piece two times.. I have just one thing to say.. just AMAZING, beautiful.. these piece makes me to cry every time I listen o it.. very very compliments.. this is what Music is.. just pure emotion.. great
Thank you so much for writing this - amazing to think that these experiences stay with people for so many years. Verena and I loved being at that clinic way back then and meeting all of you.
It was a marvellous experience to play this at the OBDC All-Star band with you Mr Bryant. I was the Piccolo player and this piece opened my mind up to a whole new take on playing the Flute as well as the Piccolo!
Wow Brian, thank you. Really enjoyed my time at Western Michigan with all of you - so glad I got to meet and work with all of you. Have a fantastic day!
God, what a wonderfully constructed piece this is. Kudos to Steven Briant for creating such an emotional piece of music, for almost making me breakdown to tears at our concert in happiness, and strangely enough, helping me make a huge turning point in my life.
I loved Dusk from the second we started playing it, but after meeting you (You came to Western Michigan University and did workshops with the bands) I was blown away by how humble and down to earth you were on top of all of that. I've been following you on everything I regular ever since (facebook and here mostly) and you never fail to light up my day. Kudos, sir, for being fantastic on an entirely different scale of awesome.
Steven, last year we played this for our spring trip music, we traveled up from Washington to Vancouver, BC and stopped 5-6 times along the way to perform this song (and two others). This song was my favorite and I have so many memories from playing this song. This year, we are playing Dusk on our trip and I'm enjoying it so much. This song gives me nostalgic memories of the trip last year. You write some great stuff. Keep it up.
Hello Steven Bryant, I played Bloom this year at Henderson State University Band Camp 2013. I played the bass clarinet part on this song and it was my absolute favorite piece I have played on bass clarinet ever. Oh, I'm a Henderson freshman this fall. haha. Loved this piece of music. Very beautiful and warm to me.
I just performed this tonight on 1st part clarinet. I had the amazing opportunity to rehearse and have the song conducted by Mr. Bryant. It was an amazing piece.
I luckily got the chance to play this score a couple of times when I was a teen, in our regional youth band of 100+ people... it was absolutely breathtaking. One of my favourite pieces of all time. Thank you 🙏!
Thank you so much for this version on UA-cam. I am playing the vibraphone part tomorrow for a concert and being able to see all the parts makes it very helpful while practicing! Beautiful song!! Keep making more music! :)
Yo! Edwards, dude! YES. It's ALL at my website (stevenbryant [dot] com). Check out Loose Id for Orchestra (crank it UP), Hummingbrrd for Euphonium and electronics, and Mvt V of my Concerto for Wind Ensemble, among many others.
Yo! Bryant, dude! I was introduced to your music at a concert yesterday, and I was impressed enough to look at your page here. I am sincerely impressed with your skill, but everything I've heard so far is slow and sustained. Have you written anything more rousing? If not a battle march then perhaps a storm scene or at least a merry jig? Something which rox? Allegro vivace instead of Andante letargico?

I loved playing this at University of South Carolina band clinic back in 2011. What amazing memories with these beautiful pieces.
Thank you so much for writing this - amazing to think that these experiences stay with people for so many years. Verena and I loved being at that clinic way back then and meeting all of you.
Played this in my 10th grade concert. Probably one of the most memorable high school band moments of my life. :D
These type of pieces are what inspire me to become a band director...

Were playing this at my high school, love the piece, im a string bass player, the low brass sound AMAZING
We play this in band all the time and it's my favorite one of our pieces. It's just a beautiful piece and I never get tired of hearing it
I've never heard a more beautiful piece of music in my life. I think the first tear rolled down at about 2:30-ish
God, what a wonderfully constructed piece this is. Kudos to Steven Briant for creating such an emotional piece of music, for almost making me breakdown to tears at our concert in happiness, and strangely enough, helping me make a huge turning point in my life.
We're playing this in my high school wind ensemble. It is my favorite slow piece we have ever played.

This is such a beautiful song. I never knew music could move me so much. I absolutely love it!

We played this last year for festival, and are playing it for Class Day tomorrow. Some of us actually cried, it's that powerful.
I just performed this tonight on 1st part clarinet. I had the amazing opportunity to rehearse and have the song conducted by Mr. Bryant. It was an amazing piece.
And now a feels trip to freshman year of highschool. I miss performing pieces like this so much
euphonium/baritione is suppperrrrr underrated. especially in this piece. so beautiful and the tones blending with the tuba are truly breathtaking.
I luckily got the chance to play this score a couple of times when I was a teen, in our regional youth band of 100+ people... it was absolutely breathtaking.
One of my favourite pieces of all time. Thank you 🙏!
Played piccolo for this song in my district's honors festival. SO HIGH! I can't believe this was for a middle school! So pretty though.
Playing in symphonic band. Don't love playing it, but LOVE listening to it!

Hello I'm I huge fan of this song and I was just wondering if there was a way for me to buy just the 1st French horn part.
Any tips on coming up with such beautiful melodies such as this one and dusk. I'm kind of struggling to come up with one.

Trumpets not loud noigh
