  • March 12, 2012 Great, even for high school.

    Great piece, really technical and detailed, but not too difficult for a high school band such as mine to play well if the drive to play well is there.

  • January 26, 2012 One of my Favorites

    It is a very technical piece, but it is also one of the most compelling that I have ever come across. The melodic line is deceptively simple despite the odd time signatures, and the sax-heavy sections are a pleasure to hear (so few pieces in the classical style do...

    that, as even when the pre-sax pieces are adapted for bands the saxes only get the viola part). A reasonably talented high school band could render this piece decently well.

  • April 04, 2011 Eruption of Applause

    This song is extremely challenging for high school students. But, this song will help them learn to count weird time signatures like 9/8 or 1/4 or 8/8 or 7/8 or... you get the idea. It's a wonderful, well thought out song, and it takes practice...

    , but it's worth it. Needs concentration to actually play the song, but I'm sure a skilled high school band could do it. Sounds amazing to an audience and its lots of fun. Deserves 5 stars.

  • February 14, 2009 Too hard for the musical return

    Paper and Pencil music. It's all about technique. Doesn't say anything musical except "Look at me, I can play really fast stuff!"
