Hello everyone!
It's been quite a while since I made this arrangement and Daniel and the Symphonic Winds gave it their wonderful performance. During those years, I've been overwhelmed by all the response I've received from all over the world asking if they can play this arrangement. I've tried multiple times to get this available for publishing. Unfortunately, my numerous requests, and that of others, have all been denied. So I'm afraid and very very sorry, that this arrangement can't be shared for performance elsewhere. If there is anything else I could do for you, don't hesitate to get in touch!
I'm truly humbled and grateful for all the response and wonderful comments this video has received. Thank you all very much!

I can not describe my feeling for HTTYD. Because it would take ages and ages. Their music is so beautiful, romantic and so much more. So pure, for me: nothing can beat this.

You know, this movie was nominated the Oscar for "Best Original Score", but it lost to The Social Network. I was so pissed to hear that. Because the score to HTTYD is PHENOMINAL!

Fun fact: My high school band played a arrangement of this, and we played it so many times that its banned and the teacher does not keep it in the school, after one day a student found it, and pranked him by having the whole band play it.

[artaction]

Who else has chills right now! I mean seriously. That is truly an accomplishment!

[Chocobear]

Hey! What about, "Forbidden Friendship, " and, "Test Drive"? Those are my favorites. :(

[TrebleSketchOfficial]

Oh gods, that Romantic Flight bit...I've got chills EVERYWHERE!!!

[gwenc]

Whoever arranged this deserve to have this published. This version is so much better than the already published version on the market. I would certainly pay for this.

9:56 to the end oml. I live for musical moments like that

[SEEETHISGUN]

Farewell toothless! 😭
Goodbye childhood.
Who else watched this because of the third movie?

[EnyaHallComposer]

[skipp]

This is such a good example for human achievements. There are not many things where humans work together in such perfection but this is one of them. gave me chills as **** :D

[gracetherandomblueberry]

Made it to 8:27 before I started crying.

You done good.

[jgrim]

I just saw the second movie. And it just... The soundtracks blow me away. I love the whole thing. I play tenor sax and trombone in band I'm going to beg my teacher to buy this. It's wonderful. You guys did an amazing job.

[Stormbubi]

this is fucking perfect!
you guys sound like a huuuge orchestra, good job!!

[Saamoz]

My favorite part of right at 6:50 . I love that melody change from the more whimsical tune to the more majestic bit. It's so amazing.

[ashketchup]

God, HTTYD shaped my childhood. I want to thank whoever came up with the amazing idea to come up with that. Toothless and hiccup and astrid and stormfly will always and forever be in my heart
GOD NOSTALGIA

this was the best arrangement for the concert band Ive ever heard so far... Strong and heavy piece... but I think It was lack of musicality as the original version was played by the large number of players and the the entire piece was filled with strings... and for wind band version, I have to say that this is quite impressive and genius because its hard to mimic the numerous strings by a few woodwinds... this piece should get an award!!! well done...
