Dream Requiem

A piece based on “Declare his Works to all Nations”, a (public domain) hymn by Dwight Armstrong.

History

This is my first composition ever.  It was inspired by the anime “Hibike! Euphonium”, and also by some very strong memories I have of the hymn with which it was inspired.  It is not a love letter, more a requiem, just as the title says.  It is intended to be powerful, evocative, wistful, and reflective.

It is heavy on woodwinds and brass, but relatively light on percussion.  Difficulty wise, it is intended to be playable by a competent high school wind ensemble or equivalent.

This piece was heavily modified and only the modified version is now available.  Please contact me if (for SOME reason) you want to see the previous version.

(this version is 99.9 percent correct, but a few minor tweaks were made between production of the video and posting here.)
