balance between low brass and woodwinds was pretty shaky at times but it was an ok performance there could have been more dynamic contrast at the end and the soloists werent very good but it was ok
6:05- 6:18 was a little shakey for the trumpet, especially at 6:10..... 6:19 cant hear the low winds and brass and that is an important part of the song. they needs to be heard... but im a little biased myself being a bass clarinet. 6:53 - 7:00 band was not totally together, especially timpani. and over all the director kinda sucked. sorta like the band was directing itself. just sayin. this is what i observed. ^_^
pembroke high school is playing this piece this year!! I thought I heard I few clarinet (myself being a clarinet player) squeaks here and there at the end but I don't blame them, it's hard from what I saw. good job, though it looks like they need more percussion people. anyways, I hope we sound good.
I love this song and I am playing it for band this year so cool. And yes we are a Middle School and we can probably play it better than these guys. No offense.
Sorry, but that was awful. I played it last year in middle school and we were a million times better. Check out Fate of the Gods - Wood Oaks @ Superstate 2009
ok out of tune clarinets....fucked horn solo(UGH) horn playa here.......WAY to loud......wow trumpet guy....#fail.....n y do u stand wen u solo..???wow sry guys down
I played this last year. I absolutely loved playing it. It's so amazing. Either the soundtrack is off or this band isn't paying much attention to the director....
Hi! My Middle School Symphonic Band just played this song at the University of Georgia, and I have to say that your band was completely out of tune. Also you were all trying to play too loud and so you sounded blastly. Mostly the french horns and the trumpet solo near the end. Nice try though. :)
@PurePoison12 Smart alec ... This PIECE is great but it is getting killed by this band. The french horn especially. My seventh grade brother played a better sounding Fate of the Gods than this
@PurePoison12 hahahahahahahahahahahaha everyone calls music for band a song not a piece. but you are technically right. just a little overly strict about it.
ummm the director sucks im sry..is not much of the band but if u want to be good oyu have to play as a group not as individuals theres not "i" in "team"...and umm ms.conductor plz practice u need it
honestly, the band as a whole didnt sound bad. i think its the conductors fault. shes not keeping the band in time and she just doesnt know who to conduct in general. like when to go fast, slow, loud, etc. im playing this for my concert. im the tuba part. and they are "okay"
2:00, , might be recording but snare seems two loud the ambiance is broken.,2:44 needs to be faster. this is a crucial interlude leading towards a battle that could decide the fate of the world! also solos seem very rushed and not played with unique tone. also 6:30 cymbals are rediculously loud. now the good stuff. i would say that for the most part, they played well. notes were in the right place, that type of deal. percussion was noticeably best section giving a strong performance. good job!
the band is very good but it is my personally believe that much more could have been done in terms of extending phrases of solo's ect... also in temp slow to fast so the dramtic changes. there is a part of the fast fast section that more brass is needed that is the part section of the one song and its hiding but good job with the song
I'm so excited! This kinda reminds me of how we did when we played it this morning. Our director had gotten mad at us for not being on time, but by the time we finished playing, he seemed more intent on perfecting our playing. Flutes had to fix their posture, trumpets and trombones had to stop playing into their stands, and blah, blah, blah. He doesn't care how we sound 'cuz we're pretty good, he wants us to look nice for contest this spring and stop the bad habits.
Our school has a 31 year reputation for exceeding standards. We've had two songs commissioned for us by Steven Reineke, and we have a two meter long trophy line to back it all up.
If your Band has been that good for that long, SURELY your Director has taught you that trophies are nothing more than meaningless scrap metal......? Tangible rewards like trophies are only relevant for people who don't know what the REAL meaning of "winning" is. Hopefully you and your peers have been taught the difference.......
Nope... After our teacher made us focus on one section of the song for two weeks straight and I realized that Jynx and I sucked at that one part, I think it's how we sound too, but we're still making progress. We have until may to work it out.
I'm just proud. Our school isn't exactly one of the most well-funded ones in the area. Most of the arts departments are self-supporting. I just feel good about our reputation and have to work hard to uphold it.
niceee job, i played this as a middle schoolerrr we played it in a music comp. we sounded pretty good for 6th,7th and 8th graderss, this was one of my all time favorites to play(im a percusion plpayerr) we always were of on the snare part lol, but overall good(:
wow, what a coincidence, i'm in the west hempstead high school band and we played this song last year lol..so weird that we're in towns like right next to each other and we watched the video at virtually the same time. i also play alto, btw. and this was my favorite piece last year. :D
i am in 8th grade, and we are playing this peace!!! its pretty tricky. i play the trumpet, and i have both of the solos!!! i cant wait to play it on our next concert!!! i love this song!
now that i listen , there are a few parts that need a little work. but you are very talented. we had one kid play all the percussion except for bass and snare.. that was funny. and great to watch. our players for the solos were alot better too.
the conductor is funny the way she conducts. but over all. nice job. lol
Very nice performance of one of my favorite songs!
Perhaps it's just the resonance of the chamber in which you performed, but the part at 2:20 seemed a bit overplayed.
Your timpani seem tuned a little sharp, but I could be hearing things.
Very well done on both the trumpet and oboe solos in the "pretty" section.
During the "battle call" trumpet solo (around m180), is it just me, or does every French horn I've ever heard flub a bit there? Ours did, and it seems yours did as well.
flutes off tune. a flute early. trumpet totally screwed up his solo. your trombones arent great, but better than ours. i like the tymphany set. yes, i spelled that wrong. its supposed to be a sax solo and not a clarinet solo. phasing? needs a little work. other than that, its decent. better than what we've done to this piece. hahahaha. dont worry, we havent performed it. if we had, it woulda been slaughtered. hahaha.
Flutes "Off tune"? You can't even insult people right! I have no idea where you're hearing the flute early. Trombones are fine, and it they're better than yours, you don't have room to say anything anyway. That's not a clarinet solo. It's not supposed to be, anyway. That, my intelligent band friend, is an oboe. Phasing wasn't a huge problem. If you haven't preformed it, you have ABSOLUTLY no room to say anything. I suggest you gain some knowledge before you disrespect a perfectly good band.
Wow, that is so weird, I played clarinet, and bass clarinet in band, and am currently playing tuba. My real love however is for piano. But all are great instruments.
I looooove the oboe solo. =) It's played really well. And at least you guys have an oboe player. An alto sax plays that solo for us. I think you guys played it nicely. ^^ I mean, it wasn't perfect but hell, it's pretty good. And yeah, just don't rush and play with clarity. ^^ Good job for the percussionists.
we are currently playing this song in our band. i thought this group was horrible, it was to fast, not good dynamics, the trumpet solo in 6:15 he messed up BIG time!! they rushed way to much and sounded crappy, the oboe solo was good!! they need to slow down and work on the dynamicas,, this is the worst i have heared it ever, they sound like what we sounded the first day of getting the music... they need to practice more and slow down
god we played this when i was in high school two years ago and man this song brings back so many memories. Loved the trumpet solo in this it was very fun to play. This song kicks ass.
i may be speaking out of turn here, but this doesn't FEEL (huge emphasis on FEEL), like a very difficult piece. fufu is right, it does feel rushed at some parts. i honestly don't have the air capacity to play a song that would last 8 minutes long, but this song could've been done much better. i also didn't feel that much emotion being put into the song, it just felt like it was being played.
french horn!!!OMG>>> TOTALLY CANT MAKE IT....excuse me conductor, what r u rushing for????u rushing to market to get the best deal??? u ruin some part seriously... sorry to say that.... this piece is not played in this manner...professional trumpet player playing the SOLO...well done..but that trumpet trombone and horn solo, is a disappiontment....good change over of climax towards the end..overall, its just a FAIR BAND.....
It only sounds good because of the sheer size of the band. The backgrounds are too loud and some of the melodies are not being played correctly or at all (e.g. grace notes). Plus they're rushing like a woman in labour.
It only sounds good because of the sheer size of the band. The backgrounds are too loud and some of the melodies are not being played correctly or at all (e.g. grace notes). Plus they're rushing like a woman in labour.
im in middle school (7th grade) and my wind ensemble is playing this song. I play 1st chair flute...My band teacher likes Steven Reineke alot. We also played his Raging River and Where Eagles Soar. Fate of the Gods is fun!
My high school played this for the spring concert last year, and the lower sucky band played it for festival this year.
We did alright last year, except for the chick who conducted it... She gave 1st trombone to the guy who sucked just because she liked him the most, I got stuck on third (still tore it up) and the guy who played first had to get the guy who played second to help him, and when they couldn't play stuff, I had to play it. *cough* solo *cough*. yeah.
lol!How much people was in your group?Because my school band will play this song and i,m the only trombone in the group,help whit euphonium. It's hard because I can't follow anyone...well.That's happen when we are only 42 students
when my band played this, we had a lot more solo parts, i had 3 myself (Euphonium/Baritone Horn) but i didn't see one of those in this band, and it sounds like those solo's were dispersed into the trombone section
Woo! Go oboist!~ I love this song. At least you guys play it better. Our band is having trouble with this. It's not even that hard to play. Or at least the flute part isn't. lol. And you guys actually have a fair amount of percussionists. We only have one! T__T
That 2:44 - 3:20 section was awesome!Good Job :)

I suggest you gain some knowledge before you disrespect a perfectly good band.

Wow, that is so weird, I played clarinet, and bass clarinet in band, and am currently playing tuba. My real love however is for piano. But all are great instruments.

I looooove the oboe solo. =) It's played really well. And at least you guys have an oboe player. An alto sax plays that solo for us. I think you guys played it nicely. ^^ I mean, it wasn't perfect but hell, it's pretty good. And yeah, just don't rush and play with clarity. ^^ Good job for the percussionists.

we are currently playing this song in our band. i thought this group was horrible, it was to fast, not good dynamics, the trumpet solo in 6:15 he messed up BIG time!! they rushed way to much and sounded crappy, the oboe solo was good!! they need to slow down and work on the dynamicas,, this is the worst i have heared it ever, they sound like what we sounded the first day of getting the music... they need to practice more and slow down

i may be speaking out of turn here, but this doesn't FEEL (huge emphasis on FEEL), like a very difficult piece. fufu is right, it does feel rushed at some parts. i honestly don't have the air capacity to play a song that would last 8 minutes long, but this song could've been done much better. i also didn't feel that much emotion being put into the song, it just felt like it was being played.

french horn!!!OMG>>> TOTALLY CANT MAKE IT....excuse me conductor, what r u rushing for????u rushing to market to get the best deal??? u ruin some part seriously... sorry to say that.... this piece is not played in this manner...professional trumpet player playing the SOLO...well done..but that trumpet trombone and horn solo, is a disappiontment....good change over of climax towards the end..overall, its just a FAIR BAND.....

Can anyone see an alto clarinet or a contrabass clarinet? I play both.
Awesome performance! my band won regionals with this song.

It only sounds good because of the sheer size of the band. The backgrounds are too loud and some of the melodies are not being played correctly or at all (e.g. grace notes). Plus they're rushing like a woman in labour.

My high school played this for the spring concert last year, and the lower sucky band played it for festival this year.
We did alright last year, except for the chick who conducted it... She gave 1st trombone to the guy who sucked just because she liked him the most, I got stuck on third (still tore it up) and the guy who played first had to get the guy who played second to help him, and when they couldn't play stuff, I had to play it. *cough* solo *cough*. yeah.

gamingguy492 3 years ago
when my band played this, we had a lot more solo parts, i had 3 myself (Euphonium/Baritone Horn) but i didn't see one of those in this band, and it sounds like those solo's were dispersed into the trombone section

Woo! Go oboist!~ I love this song. At least you guys play it better. Our band is having trouble with this. It's not even that hard to play. Or at least the flute part isn't. lol. And you guys actually have a fair amount of percussionists. We only have one! T__T
