Perthshire Majesty by Samuel R. Hazo

Windependence Series - Master Level - Grade 4
Winner of the 2003 NBA William Revelli Composition Award. A Scottish ballad for wind band, Perthshire Majesty finds its musical roots in the heritage of David Gregory, the conductor who led the premiere. A gentle, elegant work with a broad, cinematic lyricism, Perthshire Majesty evolves with a sense of engaging inevitability.

This melody has been in my heart for 15 years since I played it in a community band, and I just remembered the name to find the piece. Amazing work

[dylanhussman]

Conducted this as a student conductor for the last time last night, I’m gonna miss this piece so much.

[JTRumpet]

Played this in high school in 2006 or 2007. Took me till now to figure out the name, but the melody has been in my head the past nearly 15 years.

Nice to see the sop sax getting included! I never get to play mine in band

[robertmcgee]

Right Before COVID in our last concert I played the soprano saxophone in this piece. One of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever played and heard, glad it was the last song we got to play as a band before these crazy times

[katienugget]

im playing the piccolo and my director keeps telling me to play out because I have the melody and i’m losing a little bit of my hearing every day

[spenspen]

Played this in region band, brought tears to my eyes at 51.

I love parkour and Olympiad as much as anyone but when Hazo composes slow man is it beautiful!

[RenstashMCDS]

I played this in high school! Didn’t realize it was by Hazo at the time time, super cool!

[teagandeweese]

Yay! I get to play this beautiful piece in band. It's absolutely lovely!

[Ocean_wavess]

This piece is so beautiful. I’m trying out for the flute solo, wish me luck!

Playing this and one of our best players is on Soprano Sax

[_-.alexiss.-_]

This piece has brought the love of low notes for soprano clarinet (yes not low low but not what I’m used to cause of marching band and playing bass net for the last two concert seasons)

[pukalo]

I get to play soprano sax on this piece. Very excited!

[hollywoodrono]

This is very beautiful. Nice job Samuel R. Hazo.

playing this in concert band. playing bass trombone on tenor trombone is really hard

[mysticcarddeck]

I played this in a workshop held by a university for highschool students. I had an alto flute on me, and so I was a substitute Cor Anglais.

[sushibongg]

[tbyrd-]

Some of the parts legit sound like Shenandoah

[kalebjacobs]

Damn good song, very beautiful if played correctly
