Loved it! Played it with patapsco highschool combined with the university of Delaware band. It was awesome. I'm a euphonium player but transposed and played trombone 1. Best part to play for vesuvius
@TheBandKid116 it was very confusing at first...but after a while it just made sense. it felt sort of like dancing... lol, especially when we played 1:16. we even had a bit of choreography right there.
This is the 2000 Virginia All State Band (High School) Performing at JMU. This was played after coming together for only 2 days to learn the music - I played in this performance. I forget who the director was that year, but this is a fantastic piece that is a load of fun to play.
I love this song oh so much. I love the concert version of this piece, but, my band director is making it into a marching piece, which I didn't see as possible. But, anyway, I still love it! Although the 9/8 is going to be hard to march too xP And the 11/8
yeah, i've been working on sight reading recently and this piece came up, i played it, i loved it, looked at the composer and i was like, OMG I KNOW HIM lol, i've played several of Ticheli's pieces before, my favorite being american elegy, Frank Ticheli's a great composer.
@daneckenrode If I were to make a list of the top five composers I'd like to meet he'd deffinatly be on that list, although Matt Bellemy would be first lol (lead singer of Muse, actually wrote a full symphony putting all parts together himself)
To be honest, I like this piece, but I don't really get the image of Vesuvius. While the sax and clarinet solos sound like lava creeping down a mountain, staccato notes just don't seem volcanistic (if that's a word). When I think of a volcano, I think long crescendos and decrescendos, not a sudden rip.
@RhapsodyinStu I understand your feeling. Vesuvius wasn't like normal volcanoes. In the sense that, It was rumbly in the beginning and smokey and loud. Yet nobody knew why. People fled fearing the gods. but the it was quite for a few days// Then out of nowhere. BOOOM!!! It explodes so ferociously that the only stories about this event come from other cities whom survived the chaos. The point of the rushing 217 and hard 9/8 is to show how fast it happened.
@KhiroNEXT not if you count it like a 5/4 (yay division) and if you have a conductor that can conduct 5/4 as a 4/4 yes it's doable you count 1; 2(3); 4;5 so it looks like 1, 2, pause, 3, 4. because the hard beats in this song are on 1,2,4,&5 anyways. i know it might sound hard without seeing it. but if you try only counting on those beats during the 9/8 it will make your life much easier. I promise.
I played this back in High school. Our second band played this and got a one. We've had straight one's since 1959. Look up Longview High School Marching Band. Strictly Military marching style. One of the best in Texas. Every 2 years we go to Florida and take on other bands from around the US, and we kill them.
This song is great because you can feel and almost see the volcano erupting. You can feel all the emotions and horror that Pompeii must have experienced. Frank Ticheli, i applaud you :)
i know!!!!! i was waiting for the epic BANG at the end and u leave out the 288th measure! but i still love the recording!! thanks for puttng it on hear with pics!
This song is pretty amazing. My high school band is just getting large enough to have a wind ensemble again after a new teacher took over 5 years ago :P But she always tells stories of how her wind ensemble played this song 5 years ago and got a 5 at festival(5 being the worst). Amazing song though
well excuse me for not coming from a rich high society where there's nothing but money gold and crotales everywhere.
and please excuse me for not knowing every percussion instrument ever(everytime I think I knnow the all, another appears)
well this ought to entertain you mister upper-class crotale having guy, my school is the only high school on the Southern Side of town, we're f*king broke, so we couldn't afford the crotale, we used finger cymbals, and you know what we got
Ha ha, you act as if I'm upper-class. No, bro, my school is pretty low-class. Not the lowest, we've gotten lucky breaks, but it's the ghetto school of the region.
I just happen to be a very enlightened percussionist who actually, you know, knows his instruments.
i was tired and listening to 3 days grace when i read your reply (yes i'm a very mixed interest person)
but do forgive me for my earlier comment, as i had forgotten to check the age on your profile (don't tell me if thats accurate or not, doesn't matter that much)
i myself would be more embarrased if I were a percussionist who didn't know the instruments by age 26
Ahh yes I know! My saxophone 2's can't play 217 well at all! and It gets me really angry and frustrated!! (Actually Shmallowman's girlfriend saying this)
@JEsuSaNdMuSic27 where is that exactly i dont remember, its been a while since i looked at it, bout 2 years ago,but got to play it with Frank Tichelli as gust conductor
Me too. His calm but agile-like imaginative music is what got me through composing my band prelude (which is to be sent off to two composition competitions this next week). He is truly the master of band works.
@MusicIsMyLife3212 you play oboe like me(: this song is super fun to play but our band director took it up cuz other people couldn't play it :( so no solo for me...hope you enjoy vesuvius and your solo ^-^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i agreed with u until "enjoy ur homophobia"...i play/like classical music...yet i still think gays are the scum of the Earth and are goin straight to Hell...
This is a nice piece, i play Trombone III on it...
I love Vesuvius. We've only played through it a few times in Wind Ensemble, but it's just so much fun. I love it so much more than Nitro( Sorry Ticheli, but I hate Nitro lol)
I especially love all the weire meters like the 9/8 lol it's just so much fun! (Bakc geeking out to the extreme! haha)
9/8 is one heck of a way to count a song. But is so fun to play. I personally think fate of the gods is also a great song we're playing both in concert band this year. Hey and jazz band geeks want a good song definitly look up " walkin' and swing' " its so much fun to play.
Now halodude162, we understand that your homophobia is a result of your fear of becoming a homosexual yourself and the ridicule that your friends would unleash upon you, but that is no excuse for your rudeness. If you would put down those stupid prejudiced views of yours and focus on the music you will find details that will amaze and astound someone with your poor intelligence. Just shut up and listen to the music and appreciate it like a good little boy.
@halodude162 thank you for the advice, tanner! that sure was clever, especially being in a youtube comment. how do you find the time to give high quality advice like that in between all the pussy you get?
if playing guitar made me an arrogant shit like yourself, forget pussy. want to get laid? convert to islam.
There is a demand for classical musicians -- I will make a living. On the other hand, there is a surplus of second-rate guitarists such as yourself. You will go no where with your music, and if your pursue it, you'll likely end up a poverty-stricken -- not to mention pussyless -- idiot. Enjoy your homophobia, and if you're smart, a lovely cubicle.
I played this song in band last year. It is frieken amazing. I also met Frank Ticheli at WIBC this year. He's crazy. His new song Wild Nights, is frieken INSANE! It is so f***ing hard. It gives me a headache to look at! lol
It was 10 years ago since the state competition, but I totally remember the kid next to me spraying spit all over the the back of the cute flautist that sat in front of him during the cha-cha-shhh's. I almost died laughing.
Just to to let people know this piece has 4/4, 9/8, 8/8, 3/4, 2/4, 1/4, 11/8, 3/2, and 7/8 time signatures in it. I'm not trying to make anyone mad by posting this so don't take it in the wrong context, but
Im0an0asshole if you claim to be so "professional" then why the fuck are you starting a fight on youtube?If you were professional you would calmly state your oppinion and not try to pick at other people and by posting your oppinion on youtube you pretty much invited everyone to join in on it
excuse me. Why don't you read my original comment in context first before jumping down my throat and accusing me of starting arguments. I responded to guthoriantony who said they hate playing euph coz their part sucks and told them brass banding is the place to be for euphs who want more interesting parts. Then I stated to someone who said they disagreed that I would have a lot more experience in brass playing than them as I work as a teacher and pro musician and they are a school student.
now people like you are making accusations, insults and doubting what I've been saying without even going back and looking at what I said in the first place. Which was a completely valid point which is generally common knowledge amongst brass players. So go back, read my comments, then eat your words about me trying to 'start a fight' thank you very much. And here you are saying 'don't take my comment in the wrong context.' Also, I know the time signatures, I played this piece in university
I never said you didn't know the time signatures you dumb ass. I just put that on there for people who would like to know what time signatures this piece has.
Why am I crazy? I was replying to the fact that you said that I was starting a fight on youtube, whereas all I did in the first place was 'calmly state my opinion,' to use your words. So there's no need to call me fuckin crazy or even mention my students or teaching.
ok. the time signature is 4/4. but it also has 9/8.
and it also has ,mixed time signatures...which makes it a pretty hard to play. its a fun piece..especialy when you have it as a marching show. :] so yea.
Oh yea well I like eating dirt, and fuck salt

To be honest, I like this piece, but I don't really get the image of Vesuvius. While the sax and clarinet solos sound like lava creeping down a mountain, staccato notes just don't seem volcanistic (if that's a word). When I think of a volcano, I think long crescendos and decrescendos, not a sudden rip.

@RhapsodyinStu I understand your feeling. Vesuvius wasn't like normal volcanoes. In the sense that, It was rumbly in the beginning and smokey and loud. Yet nobody knew why. People fled fearing the gods. but the it was quite for a few days// Then out of nowhere. BOOOM!!! It explodes so ferociously that the only stories about this event come from other cities whom survived the chaos. The point of the rushing 217 and hard 9/8 is to show how fast it happened.

I love Vesuvius. We've only played through it a few times in Wind Ensemble, but it's just so much fun. I love it so much more than Nitro( Sorry Ticheli, but I hate Nitro lol)
I especially love all the weire meters like the 9/8 lol it's just so much fun! (Bakc geeking out to the extreme! haha)

9/8 is one heck of a way to count a song. But is so fun to play. I personally think fate of the gods is also a great song we're playing both in concert band this year. Hey and jazz band geeks want a good song definitly look up " walkin' and swing' " its so much fun to play.

Now halodude162, we understand that your homophobia is a result of your fear of becoming a homosexual yourself and the ridicule that your friends would unleash upon you, but that is no excuse for your rudeness. If you would put down those stupid prejudiced views of yours and focus on the music you will find details that will amaze and astound someone with your poor intelligence. Just shut up and listen to the music and appreciate it like a good little boy.

@halodude162 thank you for the advice, tanner! that sure was clever, especially being in a youtube comment. how do you find the time to give high quality advice like that in between all the pussy you get?
if playing guitar made me an arrogant shit like yourself, forget pussy. want to get laid? convert to islam.
dipshit.

I find this most humorous.
There is a demand for classical musicians -- I will make a living. On the other hand, there is a surplus of second-rate guitarists such as yourself. You will go no where with your music, and if your pursue it, you'll likely end up a poverty-stricken -- not to mention pussyless -- idiot. Enjoy your homophobia, and if you're smart, a lovely cubicle.

It was 10 years ago since the state competition, but I totally remember the kid next to me spraying spit all over the the back of the cute flautist that sat in front of him during the cha-cha-shhh's. I almost died laughing.

Just to to let people know this piece has 4/4, 9/8, 8/8, 3/4, 2/4, 1/4, 11/8, 3/2, and 7/8 time signatures in it. I'm not trying to make anyone mad by posting this so don't take it in the wrong context, but
Im0an0asshole if you claim to be so "professional" then why the fuck are you starting a fight on youtube?If you were professional you would calmly state your oppinion and not try to pick at other people and by posting your oppinion on youtube you pretty much invited everyone to join in on it

excuse me. Why don't you read my original comment in context first before jumping down my throat and accusing me of starting arguments. I responded to guthoriantony who said they hate playing euph coz their part sucks and told them brass banding is the place to be for euphs who want more interesting parts. Then I stated to someone who said they disagreed that I would have a lot more experience in brass playing than them as I work as a teacher and pro musician and they are a school student.

You're fuckin crazy and I feel sorry for any of your students
08forever44 2 years ago
now people like you are making accusations, insults and doubting what I've been saying without even going back and looking at what I said in the first place. Which was a completely valid point which is generally common knowledge amongst brass players. So go back, read my comments, then eat your words about me trying to 'start a fight' thank you very much. And here you are saying 'don't take my comment in the wrong context.' Also, I know the time signatures, I played this piece in university
Im0an0asshole 2 years ago
I never said you didn't know the time signatures you dumb ass. I just put that on there for people who would like to know what time signatures this piece has.
08forever44 2 years ago
Why am I crazy? I was replying to the fact that you said that I was starting a fight on youtube, whereas all I did in the first place was 'calmly state my opinion,' to use your words. So there's no need to call me fuckin crazy or even mention my students or teaching.

the band at my school is going to play this in march and i cant wait to play it since im in band too
loce13iskool 2 years ago
ok. the time signature is 4/4. but it also has 9/8.
and it also has ,mixed time signatures...which makes it a pretty hard to play. its a fun piece..especialy when you have it as a marching show. :] so yea.
bassdude011 2 years ago
