About this score

This truly special piece of music means very much to me. I dedicated it to my band teacher, Mark Rymer after he passed away at a very young age of 34. The beginning of the piece, the first statement, was created one day before his death as I was inspired to write like Hans Zimmer, then suddenly, the unfortunate event happened. I worked day and night to create the piece for band.

As a clarinet player- I must congratulate on your ingenious use of it's broad range and clean sound.

Oh most definitly, I am one too. I feel clarinet is often left out, when it comes to band.

It sounds great! Well made.

Wonderful. That's the only way to describe it. Haunting and in some places and joyful meloncholy in others. And,I have to say, the first I've seen to give the piano such a major part in a concert band piece. Well done :)

thanks, I feel as though the piano is often left out of band, but I think it's somewhat a backbone to most music, So I think it's a major part that should usually be in any music.

This sounds pretty good! Nice job.. Has your band performed it yet?

No, I recently made it, and our concert is soon so we wouldn't be able to add it in. But next year I'm going to ask whoever is our band director if we can add it in the concert. Thanks BTW.
