General Comments:	If any piece would capture the emotion of an ensemble and an audience, it would be Blessed Are They. Barbara Buehlman has skillfully transcribed this Brahms prelude for symphonic band. Its highlights are the smoothly flowing melodies that intertwine themselves within a framework of various tone colors. This is great for teaching young students, as well as mature students, the concept of true musicality in an ensemble setting. This work sounds best when pitch is accurate, andthe ensemble sounds like a single unit.
