[8narutoshodowclones]

in my high school band we hav to play the whistle and singing part on our instruments, on my trumpet, its better than singing and whistling i think

[coeurdenoel]

The percussion section sure looks happy to perform this.

[JohnL9013]

The first clarinet part is tons of fun and hilarious every time.

[dwbaird13]

Fun one!

[yoonshik95]

they definitely look too old to be high school and college students though...

[SporeKore]

On a peaceful summer evening when the sun has set

And the cares of the day linger yet,

Don't be sad and don't be tired, there's a place to go

Where there's rest brought by sweet music's flow.

'Neath the trees with shadows dark,

The starry sky above,

There is calm, there is peace, there is love.

There's forgetting care and trouble,

All may claim a share

Of joy, hope, and courage rare.

[turtlefreak01]

@SporeKore Thank you!

[SporeKore]

We get to sing and whistle :D

[musico81986]

Brought back memories from Jr. High. We (or should I say woodwinds) sung the 1st time, then whistled the 2nd time. Fun march.

[kaktus6146]

I used to hear this piece played by the son of the composer, Richard Franko Goldman on the mall in Central Park, New York City.

[FERENCEFF]

This march reminds me of my days in the Bayonne, NJ Post 19 American Legion marching band. “Professor” Vicedomini who taught instrumental music in the Bayonne, NJ schools, recruited me and many other school age children into the band. In fact, we comprised most of the band, with the exception of a few vets. When we found out that Post 19 was being paid to march, and the money was being kept by the vets without a thought of sharing it with the band membership, that was the end of the band.

なんでトリオ入った瞬間に激遅になるんだ・・・



[ybravura]

I've played this march and have heard it many times, but I don't recall any lyrics to it other than "La-La-La-La." Where did your lyrics come from?

There should be more fun band concerts like this instead of the formal "wind ensemble" concerts where they take a long time between pieces.

[whigs1443daysgrace]

la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaa. my favorite part

[kaktus6146]

The Goldman Band was featured in New York City's Central Park, Lewisohn Stadium at City College and Prospect Park (Brooklyn). Edwin Franko Goldman was the band's founder and Richard Franko Goldman took over in the 1950's. The free Goldman Band Concerts were sponsored by Guggenheim family.

[TheWillOfFire]

[turtlefreak01]

What are the words to the song?

[TehThreeMusketeers]

I'm listening to it intently, sir! (this is Aly btw) and I want to know the words too!

[turtlefreak01]

Yes, lol, I just now noticed your reply!

[turtlefreak01]

hmmm, I'm the first principal chair for the first time and for my first trick, I will be playing this song...!

[IrukaLuv101]

We have to sing and whistle D:

[Teddy33196]

@IrukaLuv101 yeah we do too... but to make it better, all of the tubas except one sing with all our might and we recorded a cd, and you can only hear us xP

[Audinos]

It is always refreshing to hear an American march that isn't by Sousa. He wrote so many marches, and so most of them sound like variations of the same march.

[yourmumisepic]

I'd like to disagree. I've heard so many of King's marches, I'd die to play something by Sousa.

[Audinos]

Sousa did have some more unique marches, such as "Nobles in the Mystic Shrine," "Powhatan's Daughter," and "The White Rose," but many more of them are just too predictable, and he wrote hundreds.

[dudemantwo]

Anyone know about Edwin Franko Goldman?

[kuxica]

I'm sure that there is some info about him on Wikipedia, but all I know about his is he wrote a few more marches. Tow of the more notable ones would be Jubilee which I only have a score but no parts to, tis a really good march, and Chimes of Liberty which is still in print and is fun to play but has an obnoxious piccolo obligato that reminds me of the stars n stripes forever. Goldman did a ton of method books but are a bit hard to locate. I believe he my have been a part of Sous's Band.

my high school band is playing this piece at a heritage festival up in San Franscisco

its a lovely medley and its very fun to play

[ostoja59]

In 1978 I played in a band made up of college and high school seniors that toured europe and we played this song. While in germany during the whistling the church bells started to ring and drowned us out. It brought back good memories. Great Job!

[wilkie551]

I played this song at honour band! So much fun with the singing and the whistling. A great finishing song.

[tinkink8504]

the college band that I'm in is going to play this song. I like it.

[Pyxpyxen1969]

Its a great march and a great band!

[BassclarinetistJ]

[rpsjawe]

It is a fun march and an audience favorite. Have fun!

[ATSMLOVE]
