Description
Make a powerful statement with this intense yet introspective work. The opening exclamation by percussion becomes a fixture throughout, supported by epic brass lines and energetic woodwind flourishes. Inspired by the hymn "Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending", the music contrasts themes of pure joy and euphoria with intense reflection and peace. Covering the gamut of emotions, Rapture, by Brian Balmages, is as intense in its lyrical moments as in the height of its rapturous glory. (8:15)

Brian Balmages has amazing music! We played fusion as our last piece for LGPE and we ended up getting all superiors. It was a blast ✊🏾

I love the little sax feature in the lyrical part of the piece. It's about time just us deserve to be heard

The bassoon solo is so fun

For a moment I was thinking "this is grade 4?" How? But then I realized it's about even with some of Balmages' other grade 4 pieces (all of which that I've played or heard were bangers)
