[xXUltimateNinja]

My middle school Orchestra just played this..... It was really good too :]

[2momGaming]

I picture the British Armies marching across the scrub brush of Australia when I hear this

[TheGalwayFarmer]

@2momGaming um, ok....

[TheMariemm]

the part at 1:16........FRICKEN AWSOME. o.0

[harritaco]

that low brass part gives me goosebumps lol..

[goldieken]

Very nice too! Thank you.

[lemurrrrrr]

i blasted that shit on my piccolo. I tongue the notes just as fast now as i did then : ]

[spartns12344]

I don't know if its the acoustics or the band but the first note is horrible lol

[SmartSpriter]

Surprisingly fun tuba part.

[Kudosmate]

horrible acoustics

[GreatDestroyer90]

Gah i keep finding orchestra's and band's playing but i haven't found a full orchestra play it yet -.-. It was great playing with a full orchestra but i still love this song.

[deadcirculation]

i played this about a year ago as first clarinet too, was a lot of fun, and such good music!

:)

[Kimberleg]

I performed this in orchestra today - was principal clarinet and is great music to play, because it sounds good but is easy.

The solos sound MUCH better played by a clarinet/woodwind section than trumpet/brass sections as I've heard on other recordings

[xbesiegerx]

That's because there are different versions for orchestras and concert bands. I've only played the one for concert bands, and it is a brass solo.

[yeogo21]

second mov my fav cus guess who has 81 measures of rest

[greenbat12]

i am playing this on monday with only one drummmer...

[Jobean07]

played all three movements last night in concert. really good sound. 6.8 bit isnt nice (espec. on the flute) but still good fun.

[therandomofme]

not nice for violins either its fun to play though (:

[royalecrown]

Ugggghhhh, the 6/8 is difficult on flute. I would know.. I have to play it. x_x

It's definitely worth the challenge it is, though. This piece should be a class A, not B, as it is.

[XtrmChaos]

omgwhat ! the flute 6/8 part was the best part to play! soo much fun

had that memorized and would turn it into solos with friends then got yelled at because we were messin around -_-

[royalecrown]

Hahaha. High school band? College? Middle school? What're you at?

[XtrmChaos]

currently? college. :] but at the time it was HS :] my sophmore year best song ever then it just got boring after that >.>

[Kelticviking]

first piece i played when i went to college really got my uk kelt blood going

[ZzLacyisadinozZ]

sounds like something from an oriental pirates of the caribbean!

i can't wait to play this tonight ^.^

[CoAGuild]

I played this song with a grade 2 - 8 orchestra once as Violin 2. They've split the orchestra up and I'm now playing it as Oboe 1 in a Grade 2-4 Orchestra. Doesn't match the gold old sound our orchestra used to perform. :(

[ROFLMFAOMG]

LOL john you fagggg.

He's right, but oboes own :p

[Insanelycoolprincess]

I have played this piece before it is so much fun

[SirArky]

I remember playing the 2nd Violin part in Fenland Music Center Intermediate & Senior Orchestra Combined. Loved every moment of it. Now I play Oboe in the orchestra. I wonder what their part is like

[Wow1394]

OMG

i enjoyed listening to

this our freshmen band is

playing this nchs and man we

have only had this song for three days and we dont sound all that bad well the woodwinds sound good our brass is a bit iffy but it is going good well i love the flute part

[band8tuba8life]

one of the best songs ever composed!

[btmpit09]

Ahhh I love this song! I remember playing this at all-state in '06. The 6/8 part is my favorite part of this song =P

[picc86]

AHHHHHH theres the Seventeen Come Sunday, great piccolo player, almost as good as me :)

[dorfischer]

symphonic arrangement??! wow.... although one could use a little less echo

[sillyrnu007]

The 6/8 part is the sexiest. I love that part.

[PirateOfHoboness]

My band are playing this at the moment. Great piece - I find it very rousing, and well played guys.

[SocialRomance]

amazing :]

[bobomusic]

thanks :))

[cutencrazy07]

I love it

[bobomusic]

thanks

[Tomlan2007]

A superb rendition from what looks like a very young orchestra.

Brilliant.

[stanleesk]

wow ,where to get this music sheet . i love it. please

[bammxitsxamanda]

never seen an orchestra play this before...great job. especially at measure 65

[Moonburger218]

yeah, the Dives and Lazarus portion sounded nice. The basses really dug in their heels and played like they meant it.
