Description
Flying is a favorite activity of lucid dreamers, who are able to become aware that they are dreaming and then control their actions while inside the dream. Among the Clouds takes us into the minds of these dreamers as they drift off to sleep and wake up in a world where they own the skies. After a slow, enchanting opening conveys the sense of drifting off to sleep, the aggressive theme of the fast section begins the amazing flight. This theme develops in several ways before coming to an invigorating conclusion. Highly accessible and exciting for medium level bands!

I just played this song as a bell's player and the first 13 measures are still giving me nightmares of messing up the tempo. It was overall my favorite piece that we played tho!!

I played this piece this year for UIL I used to despise it but I love it now we got all 1s and in sight reading❤️

I got to play this song during freshman year of high school as a trumpet player and it absolutely blew me away, playing it felt like I was soaring! I'm considering asking the community band I play with now if I could conduct this during one of our future concerts! Here's hoping!

As a flute player, this song is not so scary once you get the hang of it... except for those sixteenth notes at 101 and the flute fugue 😭

I was (mostly) the only F-horn, and holy smokes this went hard, all the bass were behind me, so after the F-horns and trumpets join together, the bass overpowered the band, and this was just ear candy 😎
