This piece is absolutely breathtaking! Professor Lulloff's performance, as well as that of the MSU Wind Ensemble was stellar. Bravo to everyone involved.

I didn't get this piece at first, the first movement is so angular and scale-ridden across the surface. But then the second movement evolves into something hauntingly beautiful.

Congratulations on winning the 2014 Sousa-Ostwald Composition Competition with this extraordinary Concerto!  Colonel Larry H. Lang, US Air Force Band

Thanks for sharing! What a fresh, dynamic, colorful, imaginative piece!
