Shostakovich - Ballet Suite No. 4 - Part 1/3

[OdedFriedGaon]

INCREDIBLE. i do believe i had discovered Pink Floyd's inspiration for Atom Heart Mother. stunningly hauntingly beautiful!

[13katty13]

I feel honored to be playing such a beautiful piece of music this year, its actually is the reason I'm staying in band till my senior year of college.

[xerxes876]

@13katty13 Brannon is that you?

[13katty13]

@xerxes876 Ummm who is this?

[nightwingvictory]

lol

[416610971]

I prefer the slower version to this more upbeat tempo. The music has more feeling when it's played slower I think.

[GrandeAdmiral79]

@416610971 I agree. This one seems way too fast.

[CartoonCollantes]

i loved the clarinet part at 1:16-1:40. it had such a beautiful sound. and the way it projected its sound. i cant believe they would not include a part like this when i played it during my marching season.

[itzcaterday101]

beautiful :-)

[tmv585]

Where can I find this sheet music for orchestra?

[funkybravado1]

you should listen to 1996 phantom regiment " a defiant heart "

It is impossible to find sheet music for this song

I play the euphonium and the accompaniment from 2:30 to 2:55 is the most amazing thing ever!! I would love to learn it

[SashaTheBrit]

i played this in 2006 with geneseo high school band :D

[JustinLovesCandy]

Haltom is doing symphony 10 and this by Shostakovich this year for state marching

[mackrules1456]

EPIC is the only word to describe this.

[RenjiKuabara]

This is so amazing it has 0 Dislikes :DD

[adamlovestrombone]

@RenjiKuabara

that is a pretty beast fact

hahaha

[RenjiKuabara]

@adamlovestrombone Yes it is a pretty beast fact. Also considering that we played this for our marching band show this year and won 1st place. ^-^

[xerxes876]

@RenjiKuabara What school do you go to and what state?

[RenjiKuabara]

@xerxes876 Greenwood Marching woodmen in Indiana.

[xerxes876]

@RenjiKuabara coincidentally your show has music from our show last year ( Ballet for Martha) and our show next year which has Shostakovich.

[thelastbrim]

Mysterious.. yet created by a genius.

What would we do without this composer?

[theShiftblade]

does anyone know what key this song is in?

[cfamcny939]

@theShiftblade

B minor

[mickey218178]

my winterguard is doing this music for our show and my instructor is making us do a report about the music its due tomorrow and i cant find what the meaning of the piece is so i was wondering if you did?? if you know please tell me thanks =)

[Sakura1Irving]

Mistahkuurtz, I would like you to go and search "Loveland high school marching band state finals 2009". I believe this and the Phantom Regiment translation of this gorgeous piece is well-done, though nothing will beat the original.

[Iago1976]

I've always the impression that Shostakovich sounds quite American.

I mean he was a Russian composer under Stalin!!

[mistahkuurtz]

An orchestral masterpiece. But I played this in marching band back in 2001... it doesn't translate well to the field.

[mashdoctor]

@mistahkuurtz You obviously haven't heard Phantom Regiment's rendition of it.

[trick0522]

@mashdoctor what year did they play it? Greenwood highschool played it this year and its stuck in my head constantly

[trick0522]

@mashdoctor nevermind, found it lol

[azncommie97]

@mistahkuurtz hey were playing this in marching band this year lol

[Seirra54]

@azncommie97 What band are you in? My band is too playing for our show. Sadly they just rewrote and the whole beginning is just solos...

[azncommie97]

@Seirra54 im in the haltom high school band. theres a couple of videos of us here on youtube. il msg u one

[knifenewbie456]

@mistahkuurtz i like the marching version better or at least the one that i am doing its more dramatic with brass

[username14657]

I could die and go to heaven. Where has Shostakovich been my entire life???!

[pikadalek]

Ridiculously good, and gothic enought to suit, say, a Tim Burton film.

[davebraeken]

Lovely basregister for the Bastrombone after 3 minutes.

I really love playing this one, not that difficult but really great for the volume and sound.

[tlbean]

My winterguard used this music in 2002. It was a fabulous show and this music still gives me chills!

[misslucy236]

Hey all my band kiddos!! you are all nerds. but i love you guys. solo in vide cor meum oh yeah!!

[Sakura1Irving]

OMG, fellow LHS band kids. ;). I think I know who you guys are. I'm one of the soloists...

[Alecka9]

[kenkoim]

[Chrustay177]

i always imagine a war when i listen to this, and the end is the dramatic and slow death of a hero

[LilStewerdess]

Rochester Patriot Winterguard used this piece for their show one year.. can't remember which year.. 2002 maybe?

[caijpp]

Do you mind if I put this as a featured video on my channel for a while?

[Amatherasu1789]

I love you Mitia!!!

[sparrowarcher]

Wow.

[caijpp]

This maybe is the affirmation I've looking for...

[Wisforwar]

This man really had sincerity in his heart.

He shows how to love and how to cope with a loss in this piece.

Truly, truly brilliant.

[SBfluteman]

i love this piece!

[SBfluteman]

Phantom Regiment 1996: A Defiant Heart

^

DCI does this piece. personally i think

its pretty awesome! =D

[prepboys1]

It's amazing.

[Ambergio64]

STUPENDO

[m238mike]

I don't really like classical music, but I LOVE this song

[Sinfoniette]

Don't see why thats a bad comment. I love classical and I find a song that I randomly heard good. I can't find anything wrong with that.

[pjioayncoe]

This music is rising...rising to a place with no obstruction, only pure clarity and greatness...

[spitzenleiter]

BEAUTIFUL !!!

I can find no other words.

Thanks.
