The stunning artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe is no more apparent than in her famous 1921 painting entitled Blue and Green Music. Fittingly commissioned by the Patrick Marsh Middle School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (O'Keeffe's birthplace), Samuel Hazo does an amazing job of portraying subtle as well as bold colors into musical terms. Based on a single theme that is manipulated and varied throughout, the piece progresses from delicate mallet percussion effects up to climactic impact points for the entire ensemble. O'Keeffe explained her idea that “music could be translated into something for the eye.” And Mr. Hazo succeeds wonderfully in translating it back into something for the ear!

I play the timpani part here. My band director just lets me go apeshit, cause I'm the most entertaining guy in the band. Also the percussion senior.

especially at 3:05 where the trumpet and brass part is very pointed and marcatto and then right after, the winds come in and it’s smooth and pretty with that one trumpet hovering on top, then right back to those brassy attacks
Chills. Tears. Freaking masterpiece

My band played this as well, it’s such a beautiful piece and my band director did an amazing job as to telling us to play it with emotions.
That final chord at the end is absolutely breathtaking. It sounds like an eternal flow of energy.
I get that motifs build of the lion's share of all good music, but every time I hear this I can't get over have a four note gesture could build this gorgeous music. Played this in High School as a junior, now I'm lucky enough to be writing a research paper on this work in college.
I played the vibraphone for this piece in high school and my school's band went to Canada to perform in a competition and I realized I left my music in the US. It's a good thing I memorized my part... either way this is an emotional piece.

I play the vibes on this one. Still gives me chills every time, even though I've played this countless times
I miss playing this my Sophomore year w Mr. Wellman
Playing this in a concert this year, as a new (first year) bassoon player, this is definitely my favorite piece
This song is based off Georgia O'Keefe blue and green painting
throughout my 6 years of being a percussionist, (which i still am) my band director decided that i should play tuba for 1 song, and it was this song. I picked it up pretty quick and i practiced everyday to get better and better, and i have to say i love having an alternate instrument!!!

And also I forgot to mention that i started tuba for my holiday concert which was in december so i had a month of hard work and practice! I played a song called Air for Band by Frank Erickson, and it was beautiful. Blue in Green was my second tuba song, and I played this during my winter concert and we were amazing!! Now I'm going to Bemidji High School for 8AA North Regional Large Group Band Contest on the 3rd of April. We're playing Blue in Green Music and A Holsinger song called Prairie Dances. I play percussion Bass drum for Prairie Dances. Wish me luck at Contest!!!

Played this piece for UIL this year and one of the judges I kid you not wrote down, "This is the best performance of this song I have ever heard." Whenever my band director was going over scores and he read this note it was one of my favorite moments of band all year because as a horn player I loved this piece and would give everything I had while playing this piece and would write everything down (even though i usually dont) but this piece means so much to me and I'll remember it and listen to it when i need some joy back in my life.

Nobuo Uematsu has listened to Blue and Green Music. In *Find Your Way*, the Final Fantasy VIII track that plays when in a cave, you are greeted with the same melody pattern heard at 0:36 . Either Uematsu listened to this or they had the same idea to use the same arpeggio. Just an observation I made. Also I would be playing this for UIL, but corona
