Three Ayres from Gloucester: 1. The Jolly Earl of Chomondeley By Hugh M. Stuart

[GarrSnav]

On the trumpet solo, my director had the first chair try it out, and he totally bombed it. So he just picked me to try it randomly (I'm third chair) and I aced it! Not to be rude or anything, but it was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Schaefer741]

First chair (though I much prefer a 3rd or bass part) Trombone Senior and we are playing this in 2 of our 3 bands, it's pretty simple looking at it but all 3 movements are not recommended for beginner bands...not if you want it to sound this amazing.

We played this last year! It was fun.

[orcmaster23]

fun part for the Euphonium

[Dragonastra]

sight read this yesterday... It's pretty, yes, but BORING for the saxophones. It was nightmarish to have to play it more than once. Thankfully we're probably not gonna play it for concert...

[GreasyBalls418]

@Dragonastra Which saxophone do you play? Alto or tenor? I play alto, and the music for this song is quite fun for me even though I have the 2nd alto part.

[Dragonastra]

@GreasyBalls418 Alto. I barely remember this, hahaha. I just thought it was ridiculously simple, and for a level below me and most of the band...

[patriciamerivictoria]

I remember the loud voice of our director screaming at me "VIBRATO, FLUTES, VIBRATO!!!" She still scares me.

[smm32390]

I have been trying to find this forever turns out I was spelling Ayers wrong

I played this in 6th grade and I remember thinking damn this stuff is hard, I had just made it into our middle schools Symphonic band

[MadComrad]

I love how this song is pronounced chumndly. Its just so fun to say.

Oh, and NazzerzRS

BASS CLARINET ROCKS.

[MadComrad]

I love how this song is pronounced chumndly. Its just so fun to say.

Rochester high MI

[ncjimandkaren]

I'm play baritone and the more I play this song the more I like it.

[XProcks2001]

Does anyone else hear the first theme from the march in Holst's Second Suite in F in the trumpet theme at 0:06 and again at 1:20? I do.

[gmorr12345]

@XProcks2001 acualy...i do to

[gmorr12345]

@XProcks2001 thats ironic.....2nd suite march in 3 movement

[zuzu1025]

our band is playing this now :) great piece.

[dagstheeuphjunkie]

As a music education student at a University in North Carolina, I wanted to thank you for posting these recordings. They've assisted me greatly in preparing this piece for my conducting class this semester. :-D

[spottedhorse567]

im a flute this was one of my favoorite songs i played last spring

[Canolad]

I played this for All-State in Washington. We barely had any time to rehearse... I think we did fine for our concert.

[katamari117]

our band has no trumpet section. damn, we're missing out.

[twittertwat08]

@katamari117 you got that right!

[BloggerZack]

I play bass, and this is very complicated for me because I have only been playing a few months

[Pianobug95]

@BloggerZack

I play double bass in my concert band, and i can say the second movement is pretty fun and easy. Especially if your band is good

[BloggerZack]

@Pianobug95

THanks, I'll keep that in mind, but with our band, it will probably take a while

[clarinet561]

[DarkLink500]

Lol April commented on this video.

I played first trumpet on this song in high school. I always LOVED this piece :D This movement was probably my favorite out of the three.

[AylaRselhesur]

im doing the first trumpet part too! i love this song.

[nush0436]

French horns ftw!

[ColdRain99]

Yea nush french horns ftw! :P

[nush0436]

We must all cherish the few songs in which we have leading parts. <3

[ColdRain99]

True dat ^^

[UltimatelyMegaSheep]

I love you for posting this and movement II

I played the oboe part on flute...still sounds just as gorgeous on all movements

[xmoonxbladex]

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love this movement! It also sounds great.

I was second trumpet on this piece and playing the counterpoint was always fun [at the time, my band did not have Horns so I had to play the counterpoint on my own XD]

Thanks for posting this! <3

[concertbandland]

No Problem! :) I'm glad you enjoy it!

[MCRisMYGUARDIANANGEL]

Thanks for posting this, we're playing this in our concert, actually. I mean, I heard the original many times before, but it's fun to hear it again*. :)

*Especially since I play snare drum, and during lessons I don't hear the tunes. :P

[Jerails]

I know the feeling. As I listened the only thought I could conjure was, "So THIS is what it sounds like without the snare drum being so loud in my ears!"
