We can't even begin to describe how much we love this piece! This is obviously one of the most premier works for the wind ensemble, Paul Hindemith's "Symphony in Bb!" Sam and Noah talk about their love for this piece, what makes it so special and compositionally brilliant, as well as a review of the Frank Ticheli Concert at Baylor that Sam was apart of.
