I saw this at Baylor performed by the Baylor Wind Symphony and my jaw was on the floor the entire time. A couple of days later, I got to play Sacred Spaces (and I'm a horn player!) Such an experience. Neither of which I'll ever forget!
This is so dazzling and beautiful. I see color when I hear pitches. it's weird, but since this piece is in a G centered tonality, I see blue. Just saying. Very nice work!!
I saw this piece performed by an awesome high school band. Sadly, I can’t remember the school name. But they did this so beautifully… it brought me to tears just hearing this in an auditorium live! You could feel the vibrations in your feet and it was absolutely breathtaking!
It sounds like something from a cinematic film showing a character fighting as he is slowing weakening until he can barely fight and as it ends he won but he slowly succumbs to his wounds

I physically broke down crying when I played this piece.

Damn it John you are such a gift to this Earth…
Beautiful! Reminds me of mvmt 2 of wind dark sea at times
I had this same thought hearing it in concert tonight.
4:18 always gives me goosebumps ahhh I love it I almost cried.

The muted trumpet sounds amazing

I also see blue whenever I hear G!!!
Synesthesia
Incredibly interesting G has always been a orange-red for me.
@@gavinpeavy4312probably feels more blue because of the context

Another beautiful composition!!!! I love it!!
His colors are amazing. Does anybody write for band quite like this? His handling of consonance and dissonance is so exciting.
