Technical- The builds throughout and the drops were very cool to listen to.

When the bells play and everyone starts adding in it feels very uplifting and hopeful.

This piece is overall well formed based on what its about, the Vietnam War. You can feel the chaos and the suspense in certain times, along with the beauty in other times.

Lots of upper woodwind runs, and rips within the horns. Heavy low brass sections.

i like how he is able to make it sound chaotic but still together and not messy, the woodwinds having very technical lines is a lot like the piece we played of his

In the repeated stinger-like notes it sounds like how I would describe as desperation. It sounds like something is desperately trying to escape.

# data[].attributes.body
So impressed with everything happening in the woodwinds, super technical up and down runs were played really well.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very chaotic, and suspenseful. I like the way that it comes together though, it sounds like it could be a theme song for a movie or something.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lot of depth to this music. You can understand the meaning of musical lines due to its background of war.

# data[].attributes.body
The part where the woodwinds have 8th notes and the horns have melody sounds like star wars music

When the loud triplets happened, it gave a sense of anxiousness

# data[].attributes.body
Super chaotic and all over the place. not in a bad way, it sounds good, together, and clean

The song starts off building up to this point of the song where it is chaos, and has lots of suspense.

# data[].attributes.body
The dissonant long tones add to the uneasiness of the piece

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how the flute color is used create distress

# data[].attributes.body
It definitely gives me Gillingham vibes when the upper winds have all the fast stuff under the melody like we did in Morning’s First Light and like in Firecracker Hearts.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how it builds up and crescendos.

# data[].attributes.body
It was uneasy then built up to a little hit and went everywhere and got chaotic

# data[].attributes.body
There were a lot of crescendos during the beginning

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely hear the realizations of “oh no we don’t know how to fight here”

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely has the typical suspense building features Gillingham uses in a lot of the pieces we've played, with the woodwinds under a strong brass heavy part
Emotional- develops a strong tone through the shifts in key and utilizes national anthems to grab at emotions

General - this piece is really cool, very different to most other  pieces. it has a sort of story that it follows. looking at the piece musically, i love the chords and the overall sounds that are being made.
Technical - lots of sudden, somewhat weird, cues and shifts in overall tone (like from the lyrical part to silence, and then into sudden attack). lots of brassy sounds, but very whole tone. woodwinds are mostly featured for the lyrical sections with horn or trumpet counter-melodies or backings. when it's supposed to be harsh, it is clear that they are not holding back in the slightest.
Emotional - it sounds like war. the booming timpani combined with the fast and loud, even separated brass, parts really accentuate a battle taking place, a fight between the "good" and "evil" that was in the description, and the slower, lyrical parts are a sort of calm before the storm. the end is not peace, and not victory, but a resolution; a finale, or finally just an end to the suffering of everyone

sounds very mysterious and suspenseful

I like the triplet runs of the bells under the trombone melody it makes it feel very skittish and scary

# data[].attributes.body
The little flute part adds a sense of anxiousness

# data[].attributes.body
It sounded intense at the beginning and sort of builds up.

# data[].attributes.body
I like all of the fades in and out and the suspense built up throughout the beginning of the piece

General: Very suspenseful and uneasy sounding in the beginning. The middle had a feeling of despair, chaos and fear and towards the end there was the feeling of hope. I overall really enjoyed this piece
Technical: The shifts in the tone of the piece is very imminent. It was interesting how the national anthem shone through in the piece.
Emotional: Very emotionally heavy, you can hear which parts of the music signifies the horrors of war. Creates a sense of fear and chaos. The emotions very clearly show through. Towards the end there is a feeling of hope but the overall sadness from the loss and destruction still lingers

# data[].attributes.body
general: i really like this piece. Its very emotionally charged and despite how chaotic it is it comes together very well.
emotional: you can really hear the chaos of war through the piece. It feels emotionally very heavy.
technical: the piece is played very well and the shifts between emotions are seamless. It feel very cohesive despite the conflicting moods throughout

General- It sounds very suspenseful towards the beginning then there are many times when it quiets down to then build back up again. It gets very chaotic at times and then at other times it will be very calm which I really like.
Technical- I thought the sounds of the upper woodwinds playing the faster notes while other instruments played some longer notes was very interesting and cool. The shifts between different sections in the music are very clean and sound really cool.
Emotional- It was very interesting to be able to tell where different things are happening that could be related to a battle or war as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
It sounds very chaotic and scary. It sounds like the realization of terror has struck. It is very spontaneous and there are plenty of different surprises happening.

I love how the suspense is being built in the beginning.

The droll of the trombones is meant to imitate planes?

Sounds very mysterious and tense.
