The opening of this unique and masterful work for band places the wind players out in the audience as the listeners are surrounded by the effect of a swirling dance of celestial lights and sounds. Onstage, the percussion section introduces a driving ostinato pattern later picked up by the entire ensemble. A delicate and beautiful middle section almost suspends time as soloists provide a bluesy interaction with the rich background texture and each other. The frantic pace returns leading to a stunning chorale played by the winds while the percussion continues simultaneously at a separate tempo! A creative and magical addition to the repertoire!

By far the best part of this piece when hearing it in person is when the percussion is in 7/8 or 9/8 and the rest of the band is in 4/4. Such an incredible experience to play that.

HALLELUJAH! This is my favorite piece written by Michael Sweeney. I only discovered it because It’s on smartmusic. I have always wanted to play this piece in an ensemble. Along with Legends in the Mist, Rumble on the High Plains, Earthdance, and Earth and Sky, Sweeney is and always will be awesome.

I remember playing this in high school. we had a big band, 70 kids? might have been more? Played it for a competition. When everyone was on the same page and we were all vibing with the music it was spectacular. Great experience, one i'll remember forever. thx for choosing it, Oz. Great memories from band i won't ever forget.

What an amazing piece of music. I still have to watch it all the way through, but this piece has a lot of amazing things going on, like the counter rhythms. Mr. Sweeney is a genius. :)

Weird, right? They mean to play those notes at random on conductors cue. The second piece i've ever seen use that kind of articulation.
