It is a spectacular piece. Last summer at the Dorian Music Camp in Decorah,
Iowa (Luther College) I was first chair in the concert band. We performed
this piece. I absolutely loved it. Some people can't sing, but that's why
you sing louder. I think if your can sing it slightly helps your instrumental
abilities, and vice versa.
