A unicorn crys over its dead mother, speared by hunters. It realizes that is the last of its kind. As the hunters approach, the unicorn runs away fearing the same fate as its mother. A chase ensues. The hunters spear the unicorn, desiring its precious horn. The horses of the forest, who worship the unicorns trample the hunters. The horses gather round the last unicorn and worship it as it dies. (This is the basic story, I'll see if i can find it word for word somewhere)
I just never understood why the horses only cared when the last one was dying. They couldn’t be bothered to do anything when the second to last one died.
A unicorn stands over its mother who has been mortally speared by hunters. The unicorn realizes it is the last of its kind as it mourns its mother. The unicorn senses the same fate. Discovered! The unicorn runs, chased by hunters. At the end of the wild chase, the unicorn is speared by hunters who want its mystical horn. The horses of the forest, worshipping the unicorn, gather and trample the hunters, killing all. The hunters gather around the unicorn in a reverent circle as it passes away.
This piece is amazing. My Wind Ensemble director commissioned it for his mother. She was am amazing woman. I was lucky enough to have a community band directed by her son. This piece is gorgeous.
I think the nicest compliment I ever received as a "grown woman" was when Mr. Perry's father recognized me, and said I was a Swan. It was at a marching band reunion. It was very much appreciated.

I commend the Oboe soloist, what a beautiful tone!
Beautiful performance of a beautiful piece. Way to go french horns!!
ive been replaying this vid for years and never get bored 😭
5:02 is a straight eargasm
Played this in high school senior year 2019 lgpe. 2:04 is the one of the best parts. Probably the best piece I played in band.
Ooh nice we are doing this piece for lgpe this year!
My orchestra once played this masterpiece. God I'm still in love... 5 years later ✨
Im 13 and i play the trumpet. We are now learning this piece. Its honestly amazing!
@@jordyverbeek6314 we are going to play this at auditrom， but still rehearsing now
@@jordyverbeek6314 i'm playing the clarinett!
2:04 has some of the most raw emotion in the piece, especially if you’re following the story. Amazing.
I remember playing this as a flute my freshman year, little did I know two years later I'd be playing the tuba.
+Karina Crespo Damn, that's kind of a big change xD
I know right? I turned out to have loved the tuba just as or even more than the flute lol seprisite
No one wants to play the Tuba... The Tuba sucks you in and it is the best instrument so I don't mind😁
An excellent performance of a difficult piece by Rossano Galante. I enjoyed it immensely. Some beautiful playing all round.
These clarinets though! So nice!
Playing this for my last concert!
Every Japanese wind band I have ever heard knocks it out of the park, whatever they play!
but this is taiwanese band lol
Yes, I realized this after reading again. Thanks for the correction
4:09 I love this part!!!
Max Shafyxq me too!! I could listen to it all day :)
The unicorn thinks it's gotten away, before the hunters chase it down! I also love that part
Beautiful! I love Rossano Galante's work.
I’m so excited to play flute 2 on this for my honors band!
The run at about 2 minutes in… involuntary chills.
I played this on my last concert pre-COVID
This piece is stunning
Someone needs to post the story to this piece in the comments.

Grade 4
Sarah Matkins I thought it was 5
It depends on the state. In Georgia I know it is a grade 5 but in South Carolina, it is a 4
Viva el corno ❤

Oh no...horn was in wrong key at 2:09.
@@thatgirlnaat there are no glissandos in the horn parts. The horn part is awesome though.
