Cossack Fire Dance (From "Call of the Cossacks")

[ilovemutemath]

[HarmonieWevelgem]

What amazes me the most is that they all make it seem so effortless.

[serydo1]

Браво!!!! Браво!!! Браво!!!

[teejaytiger]

@babushkeena

I hope they also teach the band members to appropriately respond to rhetorical, smartass comments :)

[teejaytiger]

So who pays for the Instruments for the salvation army? And I'm pretty sure those uniforms aren't donated...

[babushkeena]

@teejaytiger

The Salvation Army bands raise money through concerts and other fund raisers for the uniforms and the instruments are either personally owned or paid for through the monies raised.

I know this for a fact since I am a band member in another Salvation Army band in Massachusetts

[MrJJSkillz]

@teejaytiger

Those are paid by donations and money raised with concerts. Also the members in some Salvation Army Staff Bands have to pay a kind of contribution...

The reason why they play in a none-paid/none-profesional band is because they play with a special meaning, a special drive...which can not be found in any other band!

That's more important than whatever money....although I don't see that none of them did musical studies or are making money with music (teacher, producer, director)

[azblue321]

that trombone player is....umm umm good, i'll grease his slide 4 him...lol...and he obviously is good wit his tongue 2...lol...amazin skill

[treesax]

@azblue321 his wife will like that...

[beaglekid]

@azblue321 why grease the slide, it looked fine?

I can just about double tounge, and not even that fast

[euphoniumtillidie]

Whoa!! Trombone Solo!!! Including in Czardas etc!! Ridiculous!! Absolutely awesome!! After that, NYSB have gone up in my ratings! Along with Aaron, the euphonium player! Awesome stuff!!

[Saviornitho]

Hey what about the xylophone solo ????

[treesax]

@Saviornitho i also thought there should be one,

that s real hard...

[flufrules]

Bravo!

flufrules

[EMERY5300]

AWSOME  MUSICIANS

[DCBDlife]

jeze and the euph solo!

[DCBDlife]

rofl nice trombone solo

[mcfrdmn]

Excellent performance by the New York Salvation Army Staff Band,

[SalvationArmyTV]

Nice

[calypsoben]

WHERE IS THE XYLOPHONE SOLO???????

[zbaritones]

or any of the baritone parts on this at all lol

[zbaritones]

i would die if i had to play that euph solo talk about face melter

[mikeyrose94]

same with the cornet part

[iitzniick]

@zbaritones the euph and baritone solo in this isn't that hard.

the band i play in got it out for max a rehearsal :)

[babushkeena]

@zbaritones

The Salvation Army bands raise money through concerts and other fund raisers for the uniforms and the instruments are either personally owned or paid for through the monies raised.

Every member is a volunteer, working daily and then practicing once or twice a week so they can perform together. None is paid for their services...I know...I am a band member in Massachusetts....

[JimboJohnsy]

isn't that a klezmar karnival

[bumjamin]

the "oi" was a bit lackluster :p Xx

[SYLperc]

that xylo dude sucks... WHY DIDNT HE PLAY HIS SOLO

[stanburditt1]

The xylo solo isn't actually written in the music. The Black Dyke recording added it in.

[missbxi]

ahh, this brings back good memories, for my work experience I had to do the opening solo on the clarinet. in front of 50 army musicians, sightreading. i have every respect for these brilliant musicians. wow.

[BottledBacon]

Your lucky in some ways

for my work experience I had to serve smelly sweaty unhygenic gamers all day.

[RUSSIANHAWK1978]

wow!

[Xaco31]

Strange thing is that Black Guy plaing part of chardash - is it hungarian folk and have nothing to do with Cossacks.

[Woqow]

Wow! This is awesome

[Drag0ncl0ud]

... why does the cornet sound so much like a trumpet? shouldn't the tone be less bright?

On the other hand the entire thing was so well played, the I really should complain. Just wondering though.

[jingleram]

I believe it's that Gordon is a phenomenal player and can alter his tone to suit the style of the piece.

Awesome playing from all through, especially to Aaron, the daddy of the euphonium!!

[jack07981]

it is actually written as a trumpet solo...

[Panguu2]

The black guy and the euphonium is awesome :D

[DiVeronica]

the black guy on the trombone was really good. playing monti's czardas as if he were maxim vengerov- really impressive and classy. 5 stars

[3191bm]

solos awsome a little add lib in them all but it made them better :) what happened to the perc solo the 4th time? lol and the hoy could have been a little more enthusiastic, but i suppose when you get something as well rehersaed as this your not enthusiastic anymore. o well very lovely playing on all acounts well done :D

[kyleguyhighspeed]

it was great but it felt like it was rushing a little maybe its just me

i thought this was awesome anyway though

i may have imagined the rushing

[EuphoniumVeb]

Hardcore!

[brassbando]

Strepitoso!!

[WhatsUpHehe]

Love Euphonium solo!!

[RUSSIANHAWK1978]

COOL!!!

[jbarber2337]

bit of a tw*t arent you...

[essexmale61]

Just simply awesome.

[Themusicman360]

absolutely awesome solos but i just wonder why the hell peter graham didn't write his own rather than copying them from czardes and flight of the bumblebee

[sharpiecj]

the solo's are mint just coz you cant play them and cant wright anything as gd as this lol... owned

[brassbando]

the solos are 'ad libitum' aren't they??

[Themusicman360]

I've attempted to play the trom one and it's written out and my the cornet and euph solos were the same in my band as they were in this one, apart form the cornet one at the beggining i think that might be ad lib

[bariguru]

Burt before the concert "Yawnnnn, I think I'll play a little flight of the bumblebee and . . . some czardas, and a little klezmer for taste" Aaron before the concert "I'll be thinking about what to have for dinner while playing perfectly"

[Burst923]

Hendom Salvation army band got an encore from this at the rock church in finland

[Eumersian]

I meant 3 solos.

[Eumersian]

The cornettist doesn't need 2 solos, as good as he is.  Sorry.

[jimmyjawjack]

awesome!

[YvonneCrazyChick]

wow...hehe the baritone solo is my favorite!!!! Amazing...

[jboorf]

"Euphonium Solo"

[JDHandshoe]

You have to remember that brass bands have euphoniums AND baritones.

[KatsuDemoy]

i've always had quite a problem with trumpet players, being one myself :P, always trying to be "the best"... just being a "musician", being a technical genius... i get sick and tired of it sometimes, it's what music has become sadly... but i dont see that here... listen to gordon ward, mason, and vanderweele... i dont just hear notes being pumped from a programmed machine, i hear emotion... such grace and skill in this performance... beautiful

[lclaughton]

This band certainly is a contrast to the little Salvation Army Band one might see performing on a street corner. These are top knotch pro soloists! How impressive! How about that cornet player! He has a tongue like a snake! You would be hard pressed to find a better concert Band of this level anywhere!

[kerrodluvsyogi]

Wow. The expression on the Eupho players face was like, "I could do this all day if I needed to" haha! Bravo, many rounds of applause :)

[Prusianno]

Go Dave....

[Ehal256]

Wow, this has a lot of other stuff in it :0 Very good though.

[euphonilicious]

that was great!

[elfaelfael]

Great performance. But by all respect for Peter Graham, this is not a composition, but arrangement of many pieces, a potpurry. I did not hear a single accord which was not taken from some known russian/cossack song. There are even some passages "borrowed" from the bolshevik song.

[anzatti007]

See " The Ride of the Cossacks " on Youtube , also not bad.

[sammybeth]

we play this - i love it :D

[humantoo]

Jesus WAS a Jew - glad to see Sally Ann acknowledging that.

[Skipatronic]

The Euphoniumist was badass.

[jboorf]

I Love Aaron van der Weele.

[19manuel92]

Wow. Burt Mason with his trombone solo was the most insane thing I've ever heard!

[trianglegirl]

What about the xylo solo :'(

[icedragon003]

made of win!

[brassbando]

Incredible!!

[MaestrobandaMaipu]

wow spectacular performance I am fan number one of gordon ward is very good solist sorry for my english is very bad but: es lo ke hay so thank for this video

[RBandAssociates]

Hi, I was there and did photos of the concert but my question is - where is the video footage of the rest of the concert? I got photos of Allen turning his trumpet upsidedown. Richard and his crew did a great job with sound and taping.

RB

[WindTunnelMiroku]

bumblebee, klezmer, czardas and more.. all in one

[helloeveryonezzzz]

yep, l don't see much cossack about this lol. Seems to mostly be a Klezmer song called Mazel Tov.
