INFINITY- Atlanta Wind Symphony

Shooting Stars symbolize good luck, A change or big event is coming towards your life, it can also be a symbol of endings and beginnings. Shooting stars are actually one of the most diverse omens we have throughout our history. Shooting star symbolizes a brief fleeting moment in ones life just like the brief wonder of seeing a shooting star race across the night sky. They can also be a symbol of reaching ones ultimate destiny.

Shooting stars, asteroids, and the movement of the heavenly bodies in the night sky have always fascinated to humans. Some cultures have always had strong beliefs and superstitions in the meaning of shooting stars. Traditionally shooting stars also meant a new birth and changes in ones life and also a wish for a better life.

With INFINITY I wanted to create the sense of shooting stars flying through the infinite playground known as space. As the piece begins the world of space is filled with stars running through the skies. Throughout the piece, the shooting stars go through many different scenarios both dark and light until finally at the end of the piece, the stars- with their bright colors and lights- flash across the sky with spectacular grandeur.

You know this is an authentic recording when the horns flub a note (I swear I mean no shade because horn is not an easy instrument)

by far one of my favorite band song. it reminds me of marvel ngl. It just sounds so nice and i love the tone changes thru out the piece. and the percussion is my fav part. but im also a lil biased pc im in percussion. Ive never played this song sadly, but when i first heard it being played by other students, i instantly knew this wad my fav. i wish i woulda tried out for honnors so i could play it.

After listening to his pieces and playing them, he does a lot of the same Rhythms which makes the songs so good and easy to understand.
