For all those playing Persis in school, this song will probably stick with you for a long time. It was definitely the best song I played in band, and ten years on and I still listen to it!

That oboe solo leave me choking backing tears

People still watching this video after 8 years. What a legend.

that alto sax part with the fluttery notes jesus crist

HORN, You are beautiful. Everyone else, you are also beautiful.

Played the bells and xylophone for this senior year of high school! Hardest piece I’ve ever done! Miss playing it

Being the only oboe... And a first year oboe, that solo worries me

I love this piece. Especially the oboe and french horn duet in the middle. Love the clarinets doing eights during that part too. Makes a great harmony, kind of sad, but really preeeetty.

2:30 it's just beautiful. 7:07 the runs for the Flute, Xy, clarinet, and oboe are off the chain. A great piece to learn.

that horn. enough said.

I saw the notes, i was like HELL NAH, I AIN'T PLAIN THAT

I played trombone 1 in high school. Absolute favorite piece of all time to perform!

Played this as first trumpet in highschool in 2004 and we won the Kiwanis Music Festive with this song! 💚 Cherished memories forever!

Oboe solo blows me away......every time.

Played baritone in high school and did this piece. So much nostalgia

One of my favorite pieces for French horn without question

Played this in grade 10 still one of my favorite pieces of all time

I play trumpet, I loooove this song soo much

Played this for band last year, the melody at 7:08 still gives me chills

omaigod... the horns sound so beautiful... 😭😭😭😭😭 i keep repeating it over and over again ! 😍😍

I plat Tenor Sax on this, and this piece has excellent harmony. I recently found the story behind the music. A young man is warped through time iinto ancient Persia. He happens to become entranced with a beautiful noble maiden, the maiden saying she recognized him, as if from another place in time. The man went into her (he's forbidden) castle, and when the guards found out, they chased after him. He then races away, mourning over what could have been, and is sucked back to his time. =D

This song is amazing, I played it as 1 Oboe and it was fantasting!!

Beautiful this song, the oboe player is fantastic and the french horn players are too . I play this music too in my band . My instrument(french horn) it can be heard in 3:45

I sightread this song last year and just happened to remember the name of the song. I was curious to hear how the whole song was supposed to go so I listened to it and absolutely fell in love with the song. It's so beautiful!

I miss playing this song. I either would played the 1st clarinet or 2nd clarinet part pending the day. The horn parts are the best. However the runs at the end are murder (especially for the winds). This ended up being one of our favorite songs to play in band.

The slow section is just about the best thing ever XD

WoW the basson sound really good

I play Aux percussion in this song and I gotta choke back the tears when our really good oboe player starts playing lmao

I played this on flute my freshman year of band, and sometimes I get the urge to just listen to it again and it brings back so many memories of my band practicing this I love it

Tears in my eyes everytime I hear that

Alto saxophone! Played it 5 years ago at Rockford High School!

Played trumpet 1 in high school, such a fun piece to play

I love this song. I played this my senior year of high school in honors band. Go TRUMPETS!

12 years later that oboe solo still gives me goosebumps!

Got to play this in my senior year as lead trumpet and i loved playing!!!!

Hi I play the clarinet and I was just wondering how

one of my favourite songs!

I loved this song when we played it in high school, it was my favorite, I had such feelings while playing it :) I was Piccolo and flute :)

One of the greatest songs I've been a part of. Listening to my fellow oboe player on the solo and then joining in after was an extremely moving and emotional experience.

just did this song at nationals in Ottawa, WON GOLD. Amazing song.

French horn!

This sound's like a piece of music for hero's! It reminds me of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild.

I'm not even kidding, I'm currently choking up while studying ..help

one of the best songs ive ever heard!

I love this song! I played it last year in symphonic band, great french horn parts!

the cor anglais solo and the the where the whole band plays that solo phrase together is just so wonderful :D

this piece gives me goosebumps!

Preformed this in middle school 1 year ago, and I still get memories

Played this my senior year of high school 10 years ago... bass clarinet... brings back memories :)
