I play flute oboe, but sometimes I play flute. I really enjoy the part when the flutes have that one solo when they trail up and then back down, and etc. The solo for oboe is really boring. D:
omg thanks for posting this video. i play the flute and we're playing this in my grade nine concert band, none of the flutes know how to play it, and our teacher wont help us, and all of us learn by hearing the music. thanks again this is really gonna help me learn how to play it kinda
heh, i'm in eighth grade and we are playing this for a concert tonight. You guys aren't even nearly as good as we are, you guys should work on the trumpet part in the 40's. AND your Timpany's pitch and tuning is Way off. And way too loud right before the flute part. i play the flute, that part is soo hard. anyway it sounds okay...
@704ank at una honor band this year my band director hand his students play this which our marching band were already playing and the timpani's are waaaaaaaaaay off tune. but other wise ya'll did very good
@704ank lol we played this in highschool. it just for fun. mind you we are a one A school but we kick butt with the band, 126 kids in the highschool band now, im graduated but we played this when i was a senior.
I remember playing this in 7th grade band. I loved it, the time signature was so different from what I'd played before. I played 1st clarinet on it, this taught me to use my alternates for C, C#, and B in the second register. If you don't understand the idea of a constant tempo, this piece is great to help with that. When the music starts to get hard, it's usually nice to not get scared over those changing time signatures all the time, especially when you're going on a technical piece.
I finally found this song!!!! All I remember from playing this in 7th grade is the time signature and title. I am now a senior in high school. Now time to find the other song that's haunting me. Thank you.
i played the bass clarinet for this song and i was tryign to hear the cool one measure part he has after the flute solo at the beggining of the piece. i couldnt hear it unfortunately. this was such an awesome song. Though after playing it like 5 times i got sick of it and my band teacher gave me the first clarinet part. AWESOME SonG!
what's the time signature on this? this may sound really stupid but im only at a seventh grade level, but i dont think that its in 6/8 or 2/4 in the beginning. i havent seen the music myself, but why is the third and fourth beat faster than the first and second? could someone explain this to me?
The Baritone sax part for this is so... Boring, I love it but by the time you're finished you're sick of the bass line. The end is a bit more fun though
haha i remember when i played this in junior high it was hard as heck since we were only able to play at a grade 2-3 level and our teacher pushed us past our limits it was a great year :) ty for posting this brings back memories
but trumpet backed off a little bit in the beginning when he started to play... and ouch, the baritone kinda let his lips go about halfway through the beautiful part @ 4:00... lol i play that part on Bass Clarinet and it sounds amazing.
this song is deceptively fucking tricky on tenor saxophone. And for the guy who was asking, the tenor sax has the solo. If it's the solo i think you're talking about.
wow, that's nice, my symphony played this piece, i got maracas lol, it's probably just the vid or my laptop but the percussion is a little bit too loud. i don't mean that as an insult, just kinda sounds like it with the snare and timp but percussion always seems to stand out more for me haha. i really like everything else though, perfect.
Hi my band is new to this piece and me and my friend are playing Oboe. I need to know who has the Solo us or the Tenor Sax's they are sort of playing over us and our Band teacher say's they have the solo not us Does this band have any Tenor Sax's, if it does did your band teacher tell them to not play their part? I need answers before March
Wahh~ We just started playing this song in my band class today. I'm new on percussion for this year, and I'm giving the snare drum part a try. Seeing as how I've never used the drum kit, it's rather overwhelming e.e;! The 6/8 + 2/4 time time signature is so catchy, though! I was tapping the rythm all through lunch~ xD
I'm so looking forward to working on it. I just with the percussion was louder so I could hear it better and get an idea of how it's supposed to sound e.e;
anyone know where i can find this piece played as orchestra and not band? I'm in orchestra and is starting to play this <.< hope i do good... Anyway the video was really awesome!
Not saying you guys aren't good. You guys are great, but what happened to the part where the trumpets play the sixteenth triplets around 8 measures after 24, that's one of my favorite parts of the song.
Playing this for our Winter Concert.

It's in 6/8+2/4
The eight note stays constant, but it's counted like both. So you count it like 123456 1&2&. It stays the same tempo, though.
I hope that helped. I'm not really good at explaining things like this.

the wind section does very good, exept the percusion section was weak.
for some reason during the timpany solo i heard snare drum playing.
i didnt even here snare drum at its entrance, 24.
and there was no triangle marrocos and suspended cymbal.
im playing this song in school
