Maslanka - Symphony No. 4 [Score] 

Is there anything in concert band repertoire more epic than 24:30? (Except perhaps the ending of Russian Christmas Music?)

Just found this channel and the score for one of my favorite band pieces. Keep up the great work!

At 10:06 Maslanka reveals his love for Saint-Saëns "Organ" Symphony No. 3. BRAVO from Acapulco!

John Williams meets Alan Hovhannes meets Ottorino Respighi meets Leonard Bernstein.

I heard this piece for the first time at the West Coast Wind Band Conference which celebrated Maslankas' music after his passing. We played a Child's Garden of Dreams, which is an acquired taste to play little alone to listen to, but believe it was Washington State that performed and I remember sitting in AWW at the glorious piece I had just listened to and experienced. There are moments throughout the piece, dare I say, that reminded me of Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for Interstellar more particularly the very end of the Symphony with the 1st trumpets playing the "Te" to "Do" notes up in the higher register. Fantastic piece and an amazing performance! Makes me wonder how a professional Wind Band would sound like for a movie soundtrack especially the pieces like this are being composed for such ensembles!

Espetacular!
