St. Paul's Suite IV.Finale (The Dargasson)

[LovableMuffin]

to the 3 people who disliked this don't look up orchestral music if you don't like it, and go listen to some idiot talk really fast about drugs, women, and money that is somehow called music

[XuLiiTaaa]

the green leaves' music it´s the bestt!!!

[RunescapeElijah6578]

A violist and a cellist fall from a cliff, who hits the ground first?

-Who cares?

[sUpErBaD96]

I was at after school rehearsals and I had a to sight read this song by myself because the rest of the 1st violins were gone. This song is so fun until you have to shift to g on the e string

[XuLiiTaaa]

OLéee VioLaaS!!!

[ToXiCLTdNM]

At 2:45 when the cellos get the greensleeves tune back is so awesome when there is one bar to get more than halfway up the cello. It gives me chills when my section hits it

[Raginggunfire]

you know why viola jokes are so short? so that violinists can remember them :)

-a cellist

[Shyssiryxius]

Ahhh Orchestra :)

[DrSaximapepper]

We're playing this song for competition, and I hope that we do it justice - it's a brilliant song.

[StupidLamb251]

I'm in the top orchestra in my high school, and we raped this song in a state competion. So brilliant.

[MichaelDPorter]

@StupidLamb251 You RAPED it? Well that's not very nice! :(

[looney1023]

I do prefer the original version, but this is a great piece nonetheless!

[Securitsu1]

@Stonesaw123456 We just played this for our winter concert a little bit ago!! As a viola, it was an amazing experience! They have such a good part

[jhwang333]

I feel sorry for those 3 people that can't actually comprehend real music

[limoncellist]

yeah, I'm the leading cellist and we're practising this whole piece now and it's freakin' awesome ;)

[saurosnake]

does anyone recognize the irish washerwoman? Its like only the majorest irish folk song and the melody in this song. Nothing against greensleeves though. Great song.

[JuanDVene]

@saurosnake is that wat its called?

[saurosnake]

@JuanDVene Yep. You tube it. its great. you;ll recognize it right away.

[DaLegend98]

GREENSLEVES!!!! YEH ROCK ON!!

[ibelieveincows]

and suddenly in the middle of the piece...greensleeves.

[awkwardnemo]

AHHHH CELLOS. 1:25 to 1:35. 10 SECONDS OF BLISS. EARGASM.

[saurosnake]

This the only classical song i love. Its the Cellos Ole for violas. XD And we have lovely cello melodies for balance. Take that violins. Hows it feel to have harmony? hahaha

[kanjiguy106]

@saurosnake

As a violinist who have played for in the second section, I know how it feels to have the harmony.

[momopeach36]

it's such a cool song! cello is awesomely awesome!!!!!

it must be really fun to play this!!

[bambidear1996]

Violins ROCKS!!!!! My high school is playing this piece for our winter concert! :)

[ilovedogsandcheese]

ikr, i LOVE 2 play this song! it AMAZING!!! VIOLA'S WERE THE BEST!!!

[icechick131]

Love this song so much! It is so much fun to play XD

[tpocain]

Oh god, I love the cello!\m/

[thisisntagoodname]

I can't tell if I like this better than the Second Suite in F version of the piece. They're both so amazing. <3

[hahastandupcomedy]

What a great performance!

[Akzyyy]

where can I download the whole suit?

[DriveByProductions1]

Violas kick butt in this song.

I want to play this song now....

[tRoxurSox97]

@DriveByProductions1 I know!! and I AM playing this song! woohoo for me! :D

[ArianEmanuel]

ARGHHHHHHH luv it luv it. VIOLINS rule. but gotta hand it to the cellos here! beautiful!

[MsPandaRosa]

Still puts me in mind of Narnia, with Aslan giving Lucy a grand ride across the countryside.

Who else but a great Lion, the Protector of England?

[KitsuneFlare]

Im telling you all its the cellos that really rule.

[kanjiguy106]

@KitsuneFlare

I have to admit, that's true (lol, even though I play the violin). The Greensleeves part just sound better with the cellos, as well as when they play the main melody.

[frogTape]

@kanjiguy106 Cellos for the win! :P

[Willsr14]

In my orchestra the second violins are everything, because no one does anything.. thats why i have to freaking lead them.

[amycology]

GO FIRST VIOLINS!!!!!!!!!!

[tvxqluvah1294]

My school is performing this on our Trills and Thrills and Six Flags trip this friday~! I'm playing the end... solo...>.< So nervous and excited!!!!!!

[thatsamazing1234]

i think we can all agree that the basses are the best in this

[captaincabeman]

That scale at the end kills me. Hahaha. I hate it.

[spacexpeople]

it's all about the violists, man.

[KitsuneFlare]

CELLOS rule. And th rest of the orchestra is also quite awsome but tell anyone i said that.

[imperfection32]

cello ftw even though i cant play this song worth a shit in my orchestra:P

[Xxx13eleivexxX]

Go Second Violins!!!!

[Cody62963]

Great 

[Deadly2Innocent]

yay I've been looking for this song cuz we are gonna play it at Arts High!!! =D

[toofast60]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[Stonesaw123456]

VIOLAS!!!

[monkeyhi55]

@Stonesaw123456 heck ya

[fireflames57]

@Shugoclaw

lmfao what i find funny is that im doing this song for a national competition this year :D but im failing at it o.e

[RecipeForDisasta]

I guess they got JIGGY with it!

[jerchiury]

clarinets and flutes added, more lovely. the bassoon at the end is so cutE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerchiury]

clarinets and flutes added, more lovely.

[MultiMusicman96]

very nice peice... playin it in the fairfield county string festival!

[MultiMusicman96]

this is a great song... even tho its the very first time ever being second violin... this peice is still awesome

[3pianists]

@kanjiguy Glad someone appreciates us!!!

[ParadiseQuestMangaka]

many viola parts in orchestra pieces aren't very tiring... some really are and usually I think: "When is that goddamn piece over?"

but St. Paul's Suite is the only one where I'm working myself to the bone (all alone -.-) and can't wait to play it again and again... *_____*

[ParadiseQuestMangaka]

@MismatchedSocks2012 do you mean the scores or does something not work out on the instrument?

[elphielover247]

2nd violins!! WOOOOT! I'm playing this with my orchestra, but our cellos are all outta whack.

[PFFTLOLNOWAY2]

1st violins is where it's at, wannabes!

[violamistress97]

I'm playing that movement in the Long Island String Festival Association! (LISFA)

[TheRobertTaggart]

Preferable to the usual 'call centre' Greensleeves !

[celjerocks]

powerful piece.

[MrPcGames2]

No, Basses. I am a lover of all instruments. But with out the bass guys...Sorry no orchestra.

[kanjiguy106]

@MrPcGames2

I would like to thank the basses for being able to keep the rest of the orchestra together. ;D

[3pianists]

@kanjiguy106 Glad someone appreciates us... :-)

[CelloPlaya08]

Go cellos! :D

[PhailMon]

Lovely. We're playing this for a district festival, I do agree this is a HUGE viola piece. We're actually playing it a bit faster, though.

[shimmerpaw]

I like the subtle similarities this has to the first movement. 

[hamlet112492]

this piece is def underrated

[Alexjr1543]

@hamlet112492 Seems to be more underlistened than underrated to me. Not many people know about this piece, but I can see that the handful of us who do mostly agree that it's awesome.

[hamlet112492]

@Alexjr1543 true that

[tpocain]

Yeah, you GO, Shugoclaw!:)

[flatcopilot]

darga darga it's the dargason, darga darga it's the dargason!

[orcadorkviola]

I LOVE how they put the melody of greensleeves in there!!!! sounds amazing!!!!:D

go violas!!!!:D

[MerryMichaelmas]

I arranged a version of this on Mario Paint Composer, please check it out on the video responses or at /watch?v=AKy_xCq8YZg.

[Kaito787]

y brag?????????????, no offense!

[expert666666]

finally a peice that brings the full awesome of the viola to bear! i need to suggest this to my conductor...

[TheYankees123456789]

im playing this for my LISFA concert today :)

[MASforevaaa]

It looks really hard, but it's so much fun to play it!

[tommerrigan1956]

Lovely.  Thank you.

[wenglishsal]

Oh love it... my foot is tappin' away to this and I am swaying in my chair again.. Fabulous indeed :0)x

[coco12laloca]

I tottallyy agree with gbstug! lol[: VIOLAS RULE!

[Archangelbrooklyn]

You wouldn't believe how much fun it is conduct this movement.

Especially the part where it goes into one with the greensleves, makes me smile.

[GeminiBabe1996]

We played this at the YOSA summer camp!!! BEAST song, one of my absolute favorites!!! VIOLINS= EPICNESS.

Oh, and I can't forget the Violas. :)

[Slash116ricky15]

we are doing this song and it sounds amzing

[conradin1000]

Who added the percussion?

[alekusokurae]

i think it sounds better at a slightly slower tempo

[TheSteidei]

the solo at the end sounds so easy but when i'm trying to play it it comes out all wrong!!! :(

[gbstug]

Violas RULE!!!!!! unfortunatley we're an endangered species which is why we should be cherished and not abused by our fellow musicians

[princessofarchery]

@gbstug Incredibly true. :( We are so abused. Luckily, my conductor picks "Viola power" pieces. :) So fun. Go violas!

[vividandanatoly]

Love the random Greensleeves inserts. xD

[hippls1013]

@JaydeLovesYou really!? Me too!!! :) actually my friend Jade seems to think so too :3

[JaydeLovesYou]

@hippls1013 hahah ahh kevin! how weird :D

[nivekoooooo]

I like the ending:). But this Song isn't hard to play. GO VIOLAS;)

[JaydeLovesYou]

this is my favorite, i love playing it orchestra :) it reminds me and my stand partner of leprechauns riding horses

[mariothecellist]

I love how the first eight bars of the movement is always played throughout it (except at the end, but it IS a variation of it)

[thisisntagoodname]

Awesome! I love this movement as the final movement of Holst's Second Suite in F (And hope to perform that piece some day).

Hearing it done for strings is awesome too. :3

Say, looking at the score it's written for strings only but I hear other instruments, did he add more parts later?

[Otherworldly101]

@thisisntagoodname I'm sure that this group simply used parts from the last movement of Second Suite in F for Military Band, as it is the same piece and would fit together quite nicely. I heard a bassoon, horn, and flute in this recording as well, haha. It caught me off guard.

[thisisntagoodname]

@Otherworldly101 Heh, I'm not too sure about that. I can clearly hear that there are a few extra variations of the melody than in the Second Suite. Also, there's that whole issue of the key (F versus what was done here)...

As a French horn player I'd love to play both versions of the song (even though the composition doesn't call for winds at any time in the original score of St. Paul). It'd probably be quite boring to wait through the entire St. Paul's suite though. XD

[kllman1]

I could sit here and listen to all of these movements all day

[kittyqueen132]

@JustJebus How nice. ^.^ My middle school orchestra's still playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. I wish we could play more advanced pieces like this because they're so wonderful!

[KyoTheFoxDemon]

@kittyqueen132 haha, just make sure you practice for at least an hour a day... it only took 2 years (started in 6th grade) before I got into an honor orchestra wear we'd play level 5 and 6

[cousins213]

I <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[drowingindarkness]

LOL. this video makes our orchestra sound lik crap.

[adrianvel14]

love the cello parts hehe :)

[xlovelyday]

@Shugoclaw our orchestra is going to play this and the 3) Intermezzo tommorrow at a competition as well!!!! :) ahahah i hope we get first place also ahahha

[shoes4thoughts]

I love the harmony =DD

[Irmalia13]

Playing this over the weekend with my shcool orchestra! (were going all the way to Quebec!) Love it!

[davidgo24]

i played this with my orchesrta! :)

[cbrashawnm]

man i hate my teacher >:[ i play bass and at the end i have been playing it right the whole time but he thinks i have an extra rest or something >:[[[[ and on top of that he yells and hollers at me like i did something wrong >:PP

[ukefreak1]

im with you on that one my friend...my teacher just hates us basses...this song was fun to play though...

[Musicness131315]

LOL it's the same with my teacher, he's always harping at our bassists when the don't get it right!! :] Dont be discouraged, have fun with this peice it's great! :)

[natesquared]

this song is addicting, the first time I heard it when we played it in symphonic band, I got it stuck in my head :)

[JoshBurrito]

I love the ending :D

[emonroe14]

@JoshBurrito

I dont D:

I have to play that solo

nottt looking forward to it :/

not hard

yet so easy to screw up entirely xD

[JoshBurrito]

i get what you mean, but isn't it the coolest ending ever?

[emonroe14]

haha yeah

ties the whole song together in a flashy way

[Musicness131315]

We're playing this in orchestra....my teacher put me in violas....I play violin. He wants me to learn a "new clef and a new instrument". But it's FUN! It's am amzing piece!!! :)

[Musicness131315]

We're going to play this at a competition! I hope we are as lucky as you were! :)

[UnProdigii]

Good luck! (if you haven't competed yet...) :)

[illinoisboyinchi]

lol i downloaded this onto my iTouch but i can barely hear the intro because it's all piano :(

[crazykid881]

NJYS rocks!!!!!!!!

[KyoTheFoxDemon]

rush*

[KyoTheFoxDemon]

Good luck and make sure your lower strings don't rust x3

[jforthewin13]

We won awards for this piece in jr high woot woot!

[tooshort4u31]

[vesperaxx]

[colinrms]

[tnkf17]

MilHi is playing this for our aneheim trip. it's going to be amazin.

[49nst]

And everyone knows the Milhi Wind Ensemble is where it's at..... ;)

[elvis123ization]

same koyyj and joshy fishie i like this wat instruments do u guys play?? ===)

[riche651100]

Booo!! Rex Putnam sucks!!! MilHi!

[joshyfishie]

my string orchestra is playing this and i must say its as amazing piece. the way that he fits dargason into greensleeves is really smart and sounds great.

[MrBeethoven333]

It's difficult to mash greensleeves in the cello part and make it go toghether with the violin part gets confusing.

[youmakemydreams]

I have been playing viola for 3 years and this song was fairly easy. BUT IT IS AWESOME!!!!! GO VIOLAS!!!!

[chibi2point0]

Violas RULE!!! 6 years going strong! I am so looking 4ward 2 playing this next year!. State is going to belong 2 Rex Putnam!!!

[TheJigarBhakta]

[MexicanSwimmer]

Viola Power!!!!!

[illinoisboyinchi]

@MexicanSwimmer Amen to that! And this is one of the few songs where we actually get the melody :)

[fullhouseluver90]

@MexicanSwimmer

[expert666666]

@MexicanSwimmer viola all the way! with a recording of this my orchestra got invited to the carnagie hall junior string performance. i will neverforget this peice, despite the fact that now i have little time for music due to woring on a pharmacy degree... i'll never forget you! first chair viola solo in carnagie hall at the age of 17? yeha!!!

[xxblackxrose17]

I hope I get to student conduct this for my school's end of the year concert. Either this or the Jig.

[Rockinviola59]

[speedyswish]

Ah, I just wish my orchestra 8 teacher would give us something fun to play like this. But NOOO, we have to play modified, two-page-long rearranged pieces that are EASY to teach.

Anyways, this is such a beautiful piece. I love it!

[gaqkafaith]

I luv this suite it is the best thing we have played in orchestra yet. Plus viola has the melody like 5 million times... YAY VIOLA :D

[denisej242]

i played the first mov. to this suite in my honor orchestra.. and i really wish that we played the rest of it instead of a couple other songs..but they were still fun in the long run!! ^-^

this is my fav. mov. outta this suite.. :D

[tRaNaLtO]

i LUV this piece. it reminds me of spring for some reason. whats that picture in the video? cuz its very pretty :)

[DonnyWangzilla]

[greenlion999]

We're playing this song for our spring middle school concert!!! it sounds so amazing... i <3 this song tho our orchestra sounds terrible 'cept for a few of us
