this is a beautiful piece i played this for my solo and honsomble last weekend. at 3:00, i decided to play it like you and my judge said he liked it. i got one with honors, im sure you would to, you play this very well
Wow!!!! You are great! I'm trying to reherse this as a NYSSMA solo on tenor trombone. I only hope it can be this good. So, when is International Trombone Week anyway?
i played this on a bass clarinet (first movement) for an audition into a youth band... and i got in! :) now trying to play the second and third movement well. planning to play this for a school exam.
Is this very complicated to play on the bass clarinet? For my honors band I am trying out on Arabesque for clarinet and im thinking of trying out on bass clarinet as well. The solo would be this song. Bass clarinet is not something I normally play and I have played it once before for a district band. What is around the highest note in the song?
You must be in pmea district 5! I also am and am trying out on bass clarinet; the highest note is middle A sharp. The lowest is low E. it is not that hard actually, the temp for the majority of it is about quarter note = 84, the beginning is about eighth note = 72. It's exactly like this recording.
heya! nope, it's not hard to play on bass clarinet. there are no high registers at all, and dynamics are quite easy. as long as you give it enough practice, it will sound really good! plus this piece can show off the beautiful rich/thick sound quality of the bass clarinet!
idk if this would still be any help at all seeing as it's been 4 months but I have the bass clarinet part in my hand and it only goes to a B so it's not bad at all. the hardest part is the articulations.
I'm a euphonium player doing this solo for a festival. Very beautiful! As a euphonium player while I am often in the upper register, I love the opportunity to play in that lower rich register.
I'm playing the piece down an octave to bring out the true beauty of the bass trombone sound. Performing in the tenor trombone octave would, while absolutely possible, be counterproductive to the whole concept of the bass trombone. This octave puts it in the most beautiful baritone register of the instrument.
thats cool....i just never heard it like that but it sounds good...you have a beautiful low register....and to play this down the octave is not an easy task...congrats
@tbonemasta1 That's how fast it's supposed to be, and I think this piece was made originally for the String bass, cause I have the music, this is Fred Zimmermann's edition for String Bass, I believe that is why he chose this octave.
There wasn't when I posted this, but there may be by now. If not, this is down exactly one octave so it is in the same key, and all the musical aspects should be pretty much the same.
Playing this on tenor trombone octave for S&E great solo (:
