It ends gallantly with a great, pompous conclusion that would fill any hall

# data[].attributes.body
The song sounds very emotional

# data[].attributes.body
the cut offs on the long notes were very nice sounding

# data[].attributes.body
The music sounds very well blended together with the sections balancing each other.

# data[].attributes.body
the acoustics make it sound adventourous

# data[].attributes.body
The song is very suspenseful and builds up.

# data[].attributes.body
Very on point and together.

The piece uses major chords in the slower section, which to me is conveying a hope for the end of war, and peace. It makes it seem like the war has been going on for so long that they are wishing for hope to leave.

# data[].attributes.body
The chimes makes their presence known in this song without serving as too much of a distraction from the melody

# data[].attributes.body
I love how the piece goes from very loud and very abrupt to a slower, calmer, yet still fearful and sad section. This too me shows the war is still going on, but it's full of despair, and it feels like it just keeps moving on, but there is hope in sight with the major chords.

At the beginning of the piece, the music was very mellow and calm but when the drastic dynamic changes happen, it tries to convey to the listeners the atrocities of the Vietnam War.

# data[].attributes.body
It gets really suspenseful and it makes you think what's going to happen next.

The emotoin is very up beat in this part.

# data[].attributes.body
It starts off with a smooth start and it goes into a choppy march like.

# data[].attributes.body
The crescendos and decrescendos add the intensity of emotion.

# data[].attributes.body
when the drums hit you can feel the beat as if it was on your chest

# data[].attributes.body
The acoustic give the music a adventurous sound, but also a chaotic vibe.

# data[].attributes.body
The woodwind higher notes/staccatos that flow over the piece are blending very well, which I can't imagine is easy.

# data[].attributes.body
The song has a lot of diffrent prts all going at once.

# data[].attributes.body
the piece can be very dark and foreboding, being very quite and ominous and then suddenly erupting into, what sounds like, a triumphant moment then withdrawing back to the ominous state. This happens throughout the piece ping ponging back and forth

# data[].attributes.body
The longer, drawn out, and sometimes dissonant notes bring fear and emotion into the piece, and the shorter, more staccato notes bring more energy and fear into the piece.

# data[].attributes.body
The performance of this piece describes the feeling of internal chaos which really cannot be described.

# data[].attributes.body
This piece truly displays feelings of fear and sadness. At times, it sounds like a piece from an old cartoon during scenes with high tension.

# data[].attributes.body
It gets very suspenseful and mysterious

# data[].attributes.body
The performance is very energetic and you can tell the band understands what the piece is trying to make you feel.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this piece really succeeds in depicting the horrors of the Vietnam War

# data[].attributes.body
the piece has an ominous tone along with a war feel to it

# data[].attributes.body
Its very mysterious and ominous. Sometimes jarring.

# data[].attributes.body
The piece is trying to give feelings of sadness and fear.

# data[].attributes.body
The sudden change in dynamic and theme then an immediate settling and then the same thing over again is very jarring and shows the wariness of war.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how the Brass makes this piece very harmonically with their half notes being the background music to the woodwinds who have more complex parts to this piece. This helps with the sudden changes in dynamics also.

Close towards the middle of the section the piece it kinda reminds me of the theme for jaws due to the brass playing staccato quarter notes along with the woodwinds.

# data[].attributes.body
the sound of suspense leading into each part of the sound make feel unsure of what's coming next.

# data[].attributes.body
it feels very ominous and makes me think of someone hiding or losing someone

# data[].attributes.body
The section with the repeated rhythm in the upper percussion was played very cleanly.

# data[].attributes.body
You can tell what the band is trying to make you feel. At the beginning they gave you the feeling of sadness.

# data[].attributes.body
The cutoffs on long notes were very clean and pretty, which works super well for this mysterious theme.

# data[].attributes.body
you can definitely tell how the song is trying to give you the feel of not knowing what will happen next

I said this during Wind Symph this morning as well but this piece definitely gives me Gillingham vibes when the upper winds have the fast stuff under the melody like in At Morning’s First Light and Firecracker Hearts.
