Ness-Ziona Youth Band plays 'Overture to Candide - Bernstein

[sweetiexoxoxoxpie]

love this song but its a violin's hell, i may be wrong but this song is way worse for a stringed instrument than a band instrument..

my school is playing this for festival but omg dont know how were gonna do this, dunno wat our teachers r thinking to give us this damn song..:/

[mikeyrose94]

[AndrewCaili]

[faxmetaxi]

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

That guy is very into the music..the clarinetist

[MarkPyroX]

and the sad thing is he's not even first chair....

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

It's not sad....you don't have to be the top chair to love what you do.

Once the "Glitter and Be Gay" (3:32) section kicked in, this piece was great. But the main theme in the beginning was a slow, it needs to be the same tempo as it was in the end. Just for reference, the Original Broadway Cast recording of this song clocks in at 4:06, just to give you an idea of how fast the tempo really should be. Overall, though, amazing job! I was shocked to hear a completely symphonic band pull off a piece originally orchestrated with a such a strong emphasis on the strings.

[troubleinkw]

really good, def a lot faster than we're able to take it, but what was with the horn at 3:13???? The Entire band has a great sonority, but the horns stick out painfully in some of the exposed spots.

[Jensoc1]

The peice was great!

In my opinon, the tempo was a little fast, but the band did a wonderful job!

[musicdivinemusic]

I am breathless! Congratulations on a bright performance, full of spirit!

[ichewongum]

how old are you guys ! :O you guys are freakishly good.

[PainWds]

awesome job guys!

[NROhiobando]

A band with this many good players doesn't have an oboe??? What!?!?!

It might just be the recording, but the whole band sounds like they're overblowing the entire time. (especially that trumpet)

Still great though.

[rotemw]

well actually the oboe player couldn't fly with us to the competition but we have an oboe.

about the overblowing, i think it's just the recording

[Bradley4bes]

Hey I was there this day, your band made me nervous because we were playing after you and you guys are so good! Gules Aquila Brass Band - South Africa

[FungoBoy]

[dorfischer]

[BattleGroupOmega]

GEEEZ! You guys took the piu mosso (part before the last woodwind runs) so much faster than we did at my school (and we went pretty fast)
