That's seriously a POS part for French horn. It can be amazing if played well, but it takes some serious freaking chops to play above an A over the staff--decently, at least. Works for me anyway.
My high school brass ensemble played this for solo and ensemble, we got a I, it is a really hard song for ppl do play. even though it doesn't sound like it
there are a number of reasons. executing the intervals cleanly is difficult, it is pretty high in range as well, which is another reason its hard. As you can tell, they started to die there at the end. It can be a little taxing. Beautiful piece, though. Check out NYP or CSO brass doing it.
This is the essence of music and in truth, art itself... passion and dedication. It is not necessary that the final product is seamless and beyond reproach. Such a demand is where the world of critique becomes lost up its own arsehole...forgive me!
No - Aaron Copeland wrote it near the end of World War Two. A number of composers were asked to write American patriotic pieces; Copeland wrote this as a tribute to everyone; hence "the Common Man". It also is the introduction of the fourth movement of his third symphony.
Not to mention this piece was commissioned in Cincinnati!!! Along with like 12 other fanfares that year to mark the 75th anniversary of Cincinnati's Music Hall.
This is Woolsey Hall at Yale University in New Haven, CT. The organ is the Newberry Organ, considered to be one of the most important concert organs in the world. The hall is beautiful, and it certainly does resonate like that.
Great job guys! I do have one thing to offer. Everyone should invest in a B.E.R.P device and buzz this together. This is a great tool I learned during my years at band camp. It makes things sound great!
I really enjoy how the first trombone player is such a great leader. My band director says that is the sign of a great musician!!
Good. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that it sounded like a bunch of soloists who happened to be playing the song. It wasn't all the way together. I think this was just a rehersal so I'm sure its fine. Other than that, you guys are great. Keep it up. (Also tune more closely. It makes a difference! :) )
tell that tuba player to go nuts..man seriously he needs to play that louder

The first parts are done really well. But there are some major errors. There are some really out of tune parts. They are good, but not great.

i wonder how high the notes are on bass clef
greengeek9519 2 years ago
some tuning problems... but overall not a bad attempt. Trumpets over articulate the entire time! (bass section is bad!)

I'm no brass player, so I have a question: Is the reason this song is so difficult because of the really high notes, or am I just wrong?
