Thomas: Of Our New Day Begun 

One of the most sacred pieces I have every played, and I am honored to have done so.

This is my favorite recording that I have found of this piece. Everything is done so beautifully. I was lucky enough to be able to play bass trombone on this piece about a year or so ago. It holds so much emotion and I couldn't be happier to have played a part in such an incredible piece of music.

Some of our best literature. I remember sitting in during BSU's symphonic winds band rehearsal before the pandemic and being blown away by this.

our top band in my highschool played this, its amazing, all their voices together fit amazingly

I played contralto clarinet on this piece for all county band and it is one of the most amazing things I have ever played.

Im playing the oboe solo in this piece in a few weeks. Im so excited!!

Just saw this performed at Baldwin Wallace and got to meet Omar Thomas. Amazing person and such a great experience and such beautiful pieces

Aside from a live performance I saw from UNC Greeley, this is probably the best performance I’ve heard since then.

What a fantastic group! That was a great sax solo. Radical bass bone, I was looking for a chimbasa but didn’t see one.

The story behind this piece really needs to accompany it.
