This man directed my middle school band and I in a few pieces very recently. It was a pleasure to work with him- he’s a very skilled director and composer.
God. I loved playing this song. I was one of two horns, but together we outplayed the entire trumpet section. This was so much fun to play, and it really gave me and my friend a chance to really show what we could do
@@moistbread6557 it happens all the time, i am second chair out of 5 and we outplay 15 trumpets all the time, and 15 mellos in marching band can outplay 34 trumpets
Played this song in concert band 5 or 6 years ago. Afterwards, the rest of my time in band I would get a random string of notes stuck in my head. For no real reason I decided to look this song up today. It was in this song all along...
Played this senior year. Tenor sax, and it is one of, if not my favorite piece I’ve ever played. So many moving parts makes it so beautiful, especially in horns, euphs, and low reeds
Hey Thomas Jefferson, how did it feel when you basically scammed the French when you purchased the Louisiana territory? (I’m American btw so I’m not trying to say that “USA bad” but I just wanna know)
The French horn line in this piece is one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard. I hope that maybe one day I can play this piece with an ensemble!
Probably my favorite Band Arrangement. I played this piece for my Regionals Band. It was an auditioned group where 6-7 counties were eligible to audition. I played Bass Clarinet and I had so much fun with my part. It was the first time I have ever played a super fun part throughout the entire piece. Not only was this piece fun for me, but all of the other players seemed like they were having fun and all of their parts sounded great as well. I can't express how much I love this piece and I would love to play this piece again sometime in my lifetime again. Well done Rossano Galante.
When I heard that we were going to play a part of this song for midterms and all of it in our spring concert, I knew that band class would be a banger for the rest of the school year.
goosebumps. every time. playing this at our winter concert along with Midnight Sleighride (arr. Tom Wallace)- easily the best duo ever. ALSO not to mention the oboe solo at 3:39?? like the TONE on that oboe player, and the VIBRATO OMG. there’s so much to be noted about this piece, and it’s by far my favorite piece of music i’ve played in my 6 years of playing. -a Flute Major
5 rotor French horn here, and lemme tell ya, this was an experience to play. Never before had I fallen in love with a musical arrangement so fast before.
Proud oboist here, I love this song already, and we only sight read it today. I like how inclusive the composer was for giving the oboe a small solo, but still giving most parts with the oboe in it an accompaniment with the flutes or trumpets
I. Love this song I majored on trombone I never played it but my favorite song we played back in the 90s when I was in high school was ...on a hymnsong of Phillip bliss
This song gives me the vibes of like: It's the end of a Christmas movie, all is good and bright with the world, everyone is happy again, they're walking through the town at night and the snow is falling gracefully, the fairy lights strung through the streets are twinkling, everyone is smiling and dancing in the snow If this were a Hallmark movie, the slow part would definitely be where the two leads look at each other, framed perfectly by the falling snow and twinkling lights, the music swells, the melody builds, and they lean in and kiss each other right as we arrive at the big hit now, this is not a Hallmark movie (thank go, those things are so cheesy), but this song gives such a warm, beautiful feeling that just wraps around your heart like a cozy blanket or scarf and leaves you with an indescribable feeling of joy
This is a super cool performance piece .I really love how the whole band is playing together and creating imagery of the tallest mountain in the world.This seems like a really gentle piece!keep up the great work

Playing this in band right now. I’m a freshman trombone. I love this piece so much.
This man really looked at a mountain and said “I’m gonna make such a banger score because of this mountain later”

Impossible, I've never heard of a horn out playing one of us
🤓
@@moistbread6557 it happens all the time, i am second chair out of 5 and we outplay 15 trumpets all the time, and 15 mellos in marching band can outplay 34 trumpets
I was first horn 4th chair and with some of the French horns we outplayed the trumpets.
@@moistbread6557 Agreed, I played lead, and could single handedly outplay most of the ensembles I was in
i cant get over the key change around 2:03 god it’s so gorgeous I cry when I play that beautiful part as clarinet 1
The goosebumps. Alto Sax 1 played along with Horns and my god
You can’t really tell when there’s a key change in this piece. It’s All accidentals😂😂😂
The melody at 0:31 is easily hands-down the most beautiful melody I have ever heard. Stunningly majestic.
Ikr, specially when the trumpets come in
I love how I knew it was gonna be a French Horn part before I clicked the time stamp
YAS!
It reminds of the polar express
ON SOUL
I’m finally getting to play this tomorrow. Major props to the composer for giving the horns the melody instead of those trumpets.
Real
I’m so sad my horn section is bootycheeks. Horns sound great but not my bands
Just saying, I feel like Euphoniums should get main melodies more often.

Oh man I’m so glad there’s finally a good strong recording out there.
God the bass clarinet part for this is easily no question the most fun part I have ever played, period. So flowing and lyrical, love it.
I play bass clarinet too and the part looks so beautiful!
It's so hard to find a fun song with a good bass clarinet part
I'm a freshman in high school and this is my first year on bass clarinet. It fucking sucks.
Halloween Yuuki it’ll only get better. i swear on it
@@geeble78 I disagree🤭
I'm going to hire an entire orchestra to play this at my funeral
Better to play Afterlife
this is not an orchestra piece
This is a band piece
@@eboonealso orchestra can play it fo sho
The Euphonium part towards the end is just so heavenly!
The euph part overall is awesome
My all time favorite! What an impressive masterpiece
You might be right
I've always loved the euph parts on this piece

@@pepsi_proto I drank many bottles of fine wine that night with my comrades
freshman year, flute two :( time flies, I’m currently a junior and i cry every time I listen to this
Jessica Perez listen to aurora borealis. My band teacher left and he was such and inspiration and not even 5 seconds in I will cry for like 10 minutes
I am currently a freshman
@@box3229not anymore, now you’re probably a senior
@@cyberslasho8 yup, it’s been a while
i didn’t even realize how long ago i commented on this, jesus now im about to graduate college 😭
The French horn line in this piece is one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard. I hope that maybe one day I can play this piece with an ensemble!
This song gives me “the true meaning of Christmas” vibes
Oh my gosh, me too!

I absolutely hate the part at 5:32
tbh same. i hate when we stop playing
My dumbass was clicking the time stamp not realizing that it was the end
Yea
Why though? At this part, everyone applauds
Ian Greer but we want more
4:12 - 4:50 that part right there. gives me chills bruh. it's so good.😩
This is a great song on French horn
Isn't that just all of Galantes work though? He really spoils us.
^^^
Yep

7th grade year, was oboe at private school, this piece was the only reason I didn’t quit band
4:24 might be the coolest 5 second french horn lick I've ever heard
Right? So cool!
God.... Just listening to this piece gives me full on panoramic views of Mt. Everest. Mighty and gorgeous!!
truly a french horn moment. as i french horn i cryed when i saw how good the part was
This song is literally like climbing Mt. Everest. Just sight read this piece tonight. Insane speed levels for 1st also sax for me. 😱
I. Love this song I majored on trombone I never played it but my favorite song we played back in the 90s when I was in high school was ...on a hymnsong of Phillip bliss

now, this is not a Hallmark movie (thank go, those things are so cheesy), but this song gives such a warm, beautiful feeling that just wraps around your heart like a cozy blanket or scarf and leaves you with an indescribable feeling of joy
The Bassoon part is absolutely amazing and I loved playing it at my All-County
I loved playing this as a trumpet 1 ❤
This piece is like Nostalgia
3:22 is probably the most moving part of the song for me
My band almost played this for MPA my freshman year of high school
Yo I got to play this for christmasconcert
I have the music rn
this would be such a great winter piece
Played this GMEA district honor band 2019!!!
loved it
Best song on French horn ever!
This piece is so beautiful! It really paints a picture in my head I'm so excited to play
THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF MUSIC!!!❤️❤️🎶
Bruh I’m playing my freshman year and I got not complaints definitely a time to remember I love hearing the 1st play it sounds so beautiful
Me and one of my friends said this sounds like jumanji
These comments remind me of why I love the band community so much.
Bro the horn part in this piece sounds so fat and crisp. I want to play this someday
Bryan Mayen f-fat and crisp…?
@@zaitsu2461 yeah do you get what I mean
Bryan Mayen y-yes in an odd way I do get what you mean
Yeah very precise and grandioso
This piece is sooooo fun on horn dude. Really anything by Galante is guaranteed to be amazing on horn
Finally! I can see the score for this piece!
I'm a euph this is definitely one of my favorite peices!
1:20 trumpet part is just something different. Wow. 1st Alto Sax is really fun to play btw.
the horn part at 4:24 was so amazing!
I played this my sophomore year! Where are my shakers at?
This is my first solo as an oboist! Love the piece
is gallante a horn player? because man all the horn parts he writes are outstanding
Nope! He writes amazing horn parts but wasn’t originally a horn player! Apparently just loves horns!
His daughter plays horn, so he always writes good parts :) Though sometimes they can be rather taxing!
I love this piece ♥️
the bari sax part in this song is by far my absolute favorite thing i have ever played.
1:26 that woodwind feature is awesome
This reminds me of a hallmark movie. I just want to snuggle up on the couch and drink hot chocolate while listening
Brilliant piece of music 👍
This is a super cool performance piece .I really love how the whole band is playing together and creating imagery of the tallest mountain in the world.This seems like a really gentle piece!keep up the great work
this pleases me
I am the 1000th liker of this song. there should be 1,000,000 more soon...
The 1 person that disliked did it because of how late this came out.
We are playing this and it’s so fun as a flute, I’m sad its almost over😅😢
Oh dear 2nd Clarinet part is killing me for now lol
I played it on my Basson I love it really much it’s very special
I played this in all district last year on piccolo and it’s sooooo beautiful
Omg I’m on piccolo this year for it!! IM SO EXCITED!!!
I’m playing this in 8th grade, wish me luck🤠.
Oof Oof lucky my band sucks
Daaang your band must be reeaaally good!
Lies
Same here, sorry this comment is so late ^^ - French horn
好好聽喔
對啊我也這麼覺得
4:18 😩😩 best part of the whole song
This score goes hard, feel free to download.
1:11-1:22 so good!
2:40 is my favorite part on trumpet
Can confirm that timpani is ridiculously fun to play on this piece.
As a trumpet player playing this is so fun
French horn is better😝
I love this song. I wish you had uploaded it earlier
dang they really named a mountain after this piece
Reminds me of Jurassic Park arrangement in places but looking forward to playing trombone part in the concert band next week.
Bass drum is fire here
Does anyone know if this was used in a movie or any piece of media?
Which trombone part is better, 1st or 3rd?
Third
What I thought, those low notes
Third is the best
I’m a horn player and I wish my band would play this.
Just got back from a competition where we played this piece, and the horn part is absolutely amazing
这曲子真棒
Finally
1:14 my favorite part:) sounds like Disney movie
4:17 is my favorite part. Just follow to the horn part to 4:30
3:39
ignore this just putting the stamp for a godly beautiful oboe solo
played this last year on tenor, absolutely loved it!! now playing it again but on bari, and now im not too sure about it 😂
@@cilleryhinton9935 the tenor part is AMAZING and i miss playing it so much
i know the rest of you are here listening to this
M 0 0:03
This song fire 💯💯💯💯 can’t believe I got the trumpet solo 🗿🗿🗿
How was this commissioned by a gr 7-8 band!?
Took you long enough honestly.
I feel like I remember this song from a movie but idk witch movie I remember it from
I think its Jumanji
It's like a mix of jumanji but a hint of polar express (winter-like)
3:02-3:15 4:12-4:32
3:00 4:10
Was that a Beauty and the beast reference in there
Bro saw Jurassic park before writing this fr
4:22
Ignore.
1:04

2:33
2:55
3:02
4:40
5:02
This dude don’t gots a key sig
makes it a pain to play... SO MANY ACCIDENTALS!!!
That is because Rosano tends to switch keys a LOT during his piece. It would be hard to have a key sig
Horrible for flute. But it sounds beautiful
I love this song, listening to it not playing it I’m 1st alto and I hate it
