good :)
Gives me the chills.
Aleatoric. I could get lost in this sound forever.
I wanna die because of this song
I love this song our grade 8 band is playing it and theres alot of story behind the song too and its not too hard either
our wind ensemble is playing this for a concert with kseniya simonova and its so confusing lol
This is somehow vaguely familiar. Going back almost ten years ago and Colgrass actually came to our university symphonic band to work with us. The bell part was performed by a professional level hand bell choir. Colgrass I believe is a percussionist hence why the percussion part is weird. Had some good stories about Stravinsky though! (Spoiler: Stravinsky was terrible at conducting and would offer booze mid recording).
Played this in area. Had people standing in the crowd with their bells.
AHHHHH BAD MEMORIES AHHHHHH
we are playing this is band class and it remindes me of the cinomin toast crunch comoterals i cant spell either
We played paper cut last year and now this our band is kinda weird
Weird, but a good type
Played 3rd Trombone on this for the last Campus Band that UNM had. Very intriguing and interesting.
Lovely!
Im playing bells, and its so confusing

@@Jzzmus It's basically randomly playing.
Played this in All-state band. By far the weirdest song i've played, but it was very unique.
Totally excellent! UI love Mchael Colgrss, discovered him on Turnabout 34704, Concertmasters for three violins and orchestra.
As a trombone player and not playing a lot I had to listen to all of the weird noises and it gave me big anxiety :)
I think people are confused on the squiggles since the music itself isn't that hard. It has some pretty basic rythms. It might also be on trying to find your place with all the random playinh in the background. We started playing this yesterday for band and I got confused at first as well.
I play bassoon, everyone in the band is so confused.. In the bassoons part, it's not that difficult except for the high notes... Bassoon isn't meant for that
does- does that say "bowls" WHAT
We’re playing this in wind ensemble right now. As a percussionist, I say this is super boring to play
