Excellent piece for intonation and ensemble focus

Beautiful work that focuses on intonation and ensemble while being a truly well-constructed composition. The students love it!

A Musical Dream

Eric Whitacre is wonderful at making images into beautiful music. I fell in love with this piece from the first time I played it at a summer camp. This piece really takes you through a dream.
