JOHNSON Carnegie Hall, New York, 2005 ACUM Prize 2005 Important performances: 2005 WASBE Conference in Singapore (a repertoire session)	"Boris Pigovat is a bright, fresh voice in the world of wind band composition. His “Song of the Sea” is an original tone poem written for myself and the Murray State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble and was premiered in a special performance in Carnegie Hall on March 29 of 2005. This dramatic work captures the beauty and majesty of the open sea as well as its darker and more ominous mood during a ferocious storm. The work carries the listener on a journey through calm and tempest and ends with a grandios climax that rivals any of the great programmatic composers of this or any era. The wind ensemble and I thoroughly enjoyed the preparation and performance of this masterful work as did the exhilarated crowd in Carnegie Hall that called us back three times. “Song of the Sea” deserves to be on all collegiate and (technically proficient) high school band programs throughout the world. It is a masterpiece for wind band." Dennis L. Johnson Past President, WASBE Artistic Director - World Projects, Washington DC Director of Bands and Orchestra Murray State University
