English Folk Song Suite III. March-Folk Songs from Somerset

[imsuperman12]

I like Holst better.

[CBFitzzz]

This was my favourite part of the song to play back in high school band days :P

[mabinogifan100]

I played this at military school band festival...we sounded good but not half as good as this

[whitneycoolface]

Too Fast

[YTM021807]

Very powerful and brisk!

[alex471996]

1.50 Its your big moment triangle :) I love this piece very well played and good dynamics.

[TheMrDobbins]

@alex471996 the triangle is superb

[justinscott04]

Holy Crap, what a low brass section! I would kill to have a trombone section like that local!

[spicycheesepants]

@justinscott04 ugh dude i know right!!!!! it is freaking amazing!

[BassoonChoirGenius]

Absolutely wonderful performance. This tempo is amazing. :) Most groups tend to take it slower, but this was a great tempo. Oh, and the bassoonist who is on the right has a bit of a tight mouth, but this song is hard on the mouth, but I loved hearing the bassoons. Good job.

[levity76]

nice work. Lot of nice things happening. The trumpet player has a great sound. I'd just like to see him not sneak into the notes so much. Play it like you would sing it.

[PENNSY671E]

I really enjoyed this. The lively tempo here convey lots of vim & vigor which I think Vaughan Williams wanted.. What a contrast to the Neville Mariner performance also on this site.

[WadeMacKinnon]

Playing this song in highschool was probably the most fun I've had as a trombone player.

[TheMrDobbins]

epic

[gogirl46]

A couple of the trumpet's could have picked their trumpets a bit more and plaed to the audience rather than their stands. And the fortississimo parts could have definetely been played out a little better. Someone in the lower parts sounds out of tune around 2 minutes in. The trumpet soloist sounds really nice through and through. And the rit would have made it more dramatic had it been emphasized.

[TheMrDobbins]

rockin' the triangle

[JeffTheAsian]

mmmm. that trumpet had good tone. :D and i don't understand how that trombone player can puff his cheeks and play? that has to be really hard on the chops.

[WadeMacKinnon]

@JeffTheAsian

And this tune is a chops killer as it is

[adrcru]

nice were playing this 4 UIL in my middle school band

[dkmfan33]

poor percussion strong band

[CrzyFreak90]

agreed

[redhairedlad]

The actual folk song on which "Sommerset" is based is "Blow Away the Morning Dew"

[lpjayman]

Trombones, "marcato" not "staccato". And the one trombone player puffs his cheecks out when he plays...bad habit.

But nice performance overall!

[trom94]

@lpjayman yeah, its tough to play marcato but compared to the band i'm in, they did a reasonable job. Just keep in mind some of the runs are marked as staccato. The cheek thing is a bad habit though. I really liked they blended as an ensemble overall.

[Miglemaff1997]

OMG your such a kill-joy

I though they where EXCELLENT!

[nec789]

GOOD!

[shortie13sh]

snare drummer !!!

effin hot !

and yeah sommerset was played how its suppose to be !

good job

[PinHead432]

Im playing this for my String Ensemble, its nice hearing a band thats not overpowering like many can, well played!

[lemon1curd1]

in nscym we placed this and it sounded great, this sounds SUPER :)

[jacobphilmore]

This video is Awesome!  We're playing this in my school!
