Flourish for Wind Band By Ralph Vaughan Williams

[LizzyKoala134]

i hte the song in general but you guys were awesome!!! we played this in school and you killed it!! :)



[Meephouse]

I don't know why, maybe it's because it reminds me of my amazing high school wind ensemble and band director, but 0:45-0:49 literally brings me to tears. Beautiful little piece.

I'm currently studying this score for my conducting class. I love this piece!

[emskillz511]

Played this a couple months ago..Every year the freshman band plays it, and we sounded amazing :) beautiful songg

[DEVON1663]

I played this in the district 3 music festival concert yesterday

[The2013456]

That sound you hear that you think is a horn yeah its a trombone. Using those bell tones hell yeah!

[wls860]

I am guessing the folks at North Texas are playing this pretty well. LOL I love the comparision to middle school... so cute...

[kaeladianne97]

[TheAliceinthePalace]

Maybe a better term would be 'marcato'.

[Oohoa]

@TheAliceinthePalace thats the word i was looking for!

[Lugi381]

Ha forget low brass go horns!

[Oohoa]

Actually, this piece was written as a march, so it seems to be sticatdo

[whatado2012]

[joeywomer]

I played this in the Schuylkill County Honours Band played this back in 2004-05. It was awesome.

[Jazz2772]

Staccato doesn't mean short... It means detached. It is possible to play long notes staccato. 

[HaloRocksMySocks]

Excellent piece! I am playing Cornet 2 tomorrow with this song

[mtrxpnay14]

In the beginning it's like they're playing it staccato.

[Timstama]

@mtrxpnay14 Yes they are putting space between each note without making the note staccato.

[StringMaster94]

why is everything so short we just played this at Band fest and we played it very freely this is crazy short and fast and dont troll on me because we got straight ones on everything. so boom

[MadHatterMCR]

I remember playing this in like middle school. Not my favorite to play, but now I'm conducting it. XD Still not my favorite, but at least its more fun to conduct.

[megastarwarsrocks99]

I'm gonna have to disagree with you guys. This piece is really fun. We're playing it in band.

[airplanecrazy1989]

we do this every year for graduation. great piece

[MrSaxman68]

We played this as the opener to our winter concert. I agree it isnt that fun but its a nice big song to open with!

[SekiToni]

i played this in my last year of high school sorry to say this but i didnt like cuz there wasnt anything fun about it.

[zutubefan]
