Where eagles sing - Paul Lovatt Cooper

[tabathabunt]

great clip .. keep it up thanks

[slagwerkerVLS]

Echt, zo geweldig dit....ppfff!!!!!

[nyfg78]

Peter Roberts is a "Legend". I wish he was still playing

[Tomage09]

@mbmaccin555555 it's a soprano cornet

[mbmaccin555555]

What instrument is that, thats hitting those high notes?

[lolcourtoissucks]

Wow. This is unadulterated horse shit!

[mbmaccin555555]

@lolcourtoissucks :[ how?

[tvaughan807]

scary how far cory are ahead of this band.. and grimethorpe... still fantastic sound weell above my standard

[Goggisen]

@tvaughan807 No matter who gets the first place in European Championships or elsewhere, Black Dyke is still Black Dyke. And that's why they are amazing!

[xRinat]

Ah I miss seeing Peter Roberts in brass bands.. He's sound is un replacable.

[cezza92]

no one comes close to him. currently the best sop in bands in my opinion is bert van thienen

[billthemaxster]

I'll admit that as a bass player I don't like PLC but he is a very good composer it's such a shame he doesn't realise that basses can play moving parts.

[jboorf]

you must read something on his website about the dark site of the moon, the dificult of the test piece, is to make it nice to listen to it for te people.

[jazzevans]

The grenadiers had it arranged for full concert band though. A few days later I had the privelige to play with them in the horn section attempting the first parts as they did a workshop with my school band... I'm about grade 7 standard but this is one hell of a blow... took me all day to master the beginning!

This. Band. Is. Amazing.

This. Piece. Is. Amazing.

Disagree? Well go F yourself because what you say won't change my opinion!

[jazzevans]

I've seen the band of the Grenadier Guards play this in St. Andrew's Hall in Norwich... I was lost for words. Later on in the concert the 1st Euphonium player came out and did a fantasia finishing on a note 3 or 4 octaves above his middle C. Just shows the sort of quality of Euphonium player you need to play this!

[asherg3]

my youth brass band played this recently. My gosh is the euphonium part hard. It takes practice to hit all the notes at full speed. It's a great piece but the euphoniums fast notes are only an effect

[PenisFriday]

This is a brilliant piece by a very talented composer.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a BELL!

[elh666]

Well said.

[whitefluffysheep]

one of my favourite band pieces at the moment!! =]

[4444444444444h]

Ah, the world's worst plagariser, least talented composer and all round charlatan. Hurrah!

[thedust86]

Sounds like you could do better... whats your name? Sparke, Wilby, Graham?

And above all, it's the amazing performance of the band that makes it worth listening (and not the composition itself)

[4444444444444h]

Do you think Sparke, Wilby or Graham would post like I did on Youtube? Stupid statement cheese boy.

I can do better. Want proof? Ask your mum. Shit, I bet that even YOU could do better than this :-)

[TheMusicalRevolution]

wth?

This is an awesome piece played amazingly.

I'd like to hear some of your compositions,

If you have any.

[4444444444444h]

Bite my shit.

[Blackburnmaster12]

eww - that is disgusting!

[WhatsUpHehe]

You're just being pathetic..... if you could do better why havent i heard of any of your songs yet??

[relientk12121]

this song rocks!

[g0Lp0]

I love that we're playing this piece, and yeah, this band played it super good..

[lpo2112]

my band is playing this song. but this band is amazing

[relientk12121]

Our band is playing this too. Holy crud the beginning we can't play it that fast. Beautiful song though love the Timpani and Euphonium parts.

[SaxyMisty]

Oh dear. x__x; My bands playing this as well, and holy crap, this sounds amazing. <3

[jl3tbone]

How about that euphonium part? 0:38-1:12....Wow.

[D34ThT04LL]

ANY GUYS UP?

i liked this video :) JB

[Trompet1990]

Awesome piece.... Does anyone know if they recorded this piece? ( probebly did) What Album?

[thedust86]

They did... The album is called "Walking with Heroes - The Music of Paul Lovatt Cooper"

[aeiouandytoo2]

they have an entire album of Cooper!? sweet i gotta find that

[UnboundVolts]

I'm playing the 3rd Cornet bit of that. I love this kind of music for brass.

[UnboundVolts]

In K&N Spring Gully Brass, not the one playing

*Wishes there was an edit feature*

[TheMusicalRevolution]

I'm in the Hampshire County Youth Band, and at the moment we're learning this!

I'm playing soprano, and it's great fun.

[Tromboniwr]

Is it just me or would anyone else love to be in Richard Marshall's shoes between 3:01 and 3:17? Peter Roberts doesn't quite plant the high C sharp / F sharp in the first solo, but my God, he more than makes up for it with that fantastic, totally in-tune top C / top F at 3:05.

[mbmaccin55]

when does he hit the high f#?

[TheMusicalRevolution]

He doesn't.

Well,

he does,

But doesn't hit it that well.

Ah well,

He's still an awesome player.

I don't care tbh. Still played awesomly.

[euphoniumtillidie]

does anyone know what concert this was from?

[FrankkkoJ]

Holland Brass Gala of The year 2007 I guess.

I was there in 2008! ^^ Looks the same as where I was ;-)

[Baskilisk]

I beleive the politically correct term is African American Lesbian...

[SwissSopranoBoy]

Absolutly great work! I love it

[euphoniumtillidie]

i went to territorial youth band (salvation army) in february and we played tis nd learnt it in a week. but nowhere near as good as this!!!

[gazzamon]

Seems to be a popular piece with sally army as well. played it at yorkshire music school last sept! Playing it with e.y.m.s on sat, should be good. hopefully. Glad i don't have the euph part!

[euphoniumtillidie]

yep

i might b playin the euph part nxt year as the euphs at tyb r too old to go nxt year lol! but im not guna b tht good

[gazzamon]

Owch, you have my sympathy. that 2nd/3rd cornet and glock part near the beginnings a killer... especially on your first time playing glock!!! Oh its a laugh! if i had that euph part i think i'd just hit the valves and hope!!

[euphoniumtillidie]

thnx. i alredy do tht sumtimes. in reahearsels wen the euphs were playin tht bit we were restin nd we lost count more than once from watching them playin it. but then agen they were guna b gd coz one of them was derrick kanes son

[euphoniumtillidie]

thts th plan lol

[nathanthedrummer]

sorry, my english is not so good. i saw that i wrote: "did you you riverdance" in my comment. my question is if you heared the riverdance played by the ybs band.

[MoleyMolo]

I prefer the Brighouse and Rastrick Version from Brass In Concert. I've got this on CD in my car and whilst it is very well played, I do think that Brighouse have a slightly crisper sound, and the Euphs are a lot clearer in that too. Good piece though I love it!

[diederik21212]

I feel Brighouses' sound may be crisper, because of the cd being a professional recording and this obviously isn't.

[MoleyMolo]

I forgot to mention that I am listening to the Black Dyke version in the studio at work and my car and it's CD quality. I was comparing the CD to the DVD of Brighouse which is basically the same sort of quality

[nathanthedrummer]

you re in right, black dyke versions of different songs are not always the best. did you you riverdance played by the yorkshire building society band? their version is much better than the version of the black dyke band. YBS makes very good recordings!!! but i have to say again, that where eagles sing is masterwork. i love the tam tam in this song really and the timpanis. we play this song at the minute in our band. paul lovatt- cooper is a great composer and a great drummer too.

[34634624]

What an awesome piece. We're working on this in band at the minute.

[nathanthedrummer]

incredible, just incredible. it's a great song! we played this song with our brass band. but never as good as the black dyke. love you, black dyke!!!

[hotchrislee]

You rekon they play it too fast?

It was written for them by their own percussionist. I'm sure that's how fast it was supposed to be played. And yes, Peter Roberts owns. What a loss to the band world.

[bender0502]

Peter Roberts is not replacable by anyone else.

[tubamar]

You haven't heard Rich Evans from the British Army Brass Band, Coldstream guards then?

[euphfellowship]

I agree. There's lots of great players out there...but they won't be able to make you weep one minute, and then shiver with excitement the next.

[d0m93]

This guy teaches at my school...

[fritz744]

I love it at 2:55 when Peter Roberts shuffles his chair in preparation for those incredible notes at 3:05. Poor Richard Marshall must have his hair permanently back parted.

[Jkaszner]

Peter Roberts is the best......

[Belbertn]

what a sick song!!! Black Dyke ruuuules!

[MaximilianErlbeck]

I've played it as well. They play it too fast in my opinion... But great played, however!

[Nielsmol]

I've played this piece, and Dyke plays it way too fast :D

sounds lovely though since they've got the skills

[copanewbe]

Wow, great sound. The only thing I'm not convinced 100% on is the tempo they take right after the short intro. Seems a bit frantic to me. Could be the quality of the recording. Amazing band though, gese.

[ajjohnson3]

Yes it is a brilliant sound. Have you played the piece? The tempo they take after the first intro is nearly spot on. It's marked at Presto (156)!!

[DavidOnBass]

OMG those euphoniums. Thats fast go David :)

Must brag about that I´ve been one of the few thats been honored with playing in this great bands bandroom conducted by Nicolas. Not playing with Black dyke but the now gone Gothenburg brassband and I must say it was an amazing experience.

Wish I could meet them again and listen to their fantastic playing.

[corneter]

WOO!! GO BLACK DYKE!!

[worldofbrassdotcom]

Paul Lovatt-COOPER!

[singingrubo]

het was echt zo vet om daar te zijn!!!!!!!

[jaapkramer]

Het was een ontzettend gaaf concert, in de zaal was het helemaal genieten.

[diederik21212]

this was awesome concert!!!

[Anneisdeman]

Krijg er kippenvel van!
