[argylejegirl]

I could of promised the slow part of this song was in Princess Diaries...haha

[afrokidguitarist]

i love playing the trumpet solos on tenor sax :]

tenor part is boring buts its a good song :]

[saxophone134]

@afrokidguitarist i know what you mean. tenor gets shafted all the time just cause its not in an easy to reognize range. for holst's suite in e flat, i got to play the trumpet part all throughout including the solo at the begininng.

[roarnoobz]

band - nothing else u can ask for

[army5903]

Great piece but this recording is missing the bass section. Where are the trombones, tubas, bass clarinets, tener saxes, and euphoniums?

[future479]

[OliviaJackson29]

[liligman]

So Much emotion at..97? I think it is, beautiful first clarinet lines, then the flutes come through, saxs...simply beautiful.

[soulslay3r1]

[Gameace232]

So we are playing this in my high school Wind Ensemble and i'm the lead trumpet player and the first part is just beast i love it cause it's fast but at the same time it's easy.. at least in my opinion i love the second solo that starts on the high G cause it's all trumpet unlike the first one

[SwordInThroat]

@Gameace232 I have that part it was hard at first but the rhythm is easy to get tht was the only problem

[SwordInThroat]

I play the first trumpet it's really hard

[stefanpalen96]

@RockbottomRamzez You need a good Euphonium player thats one of the reasons bands can sound so good.Euphonium Carrys the counter melody if there are cues I hope they will be played well

[muttonhead688]

[247webgirl]

i play percussion, (snare drum on this piece) and my middle school band and i have 2 play this (it might be for UIL.) just wondering, has anyone else ever noticed that robert sheldon's songs usually go fast, then slow down, then speed up again? :-)

[mygarage95]

thats usually how most composers write music... i feel that robert sheldon is one of the best in our time and WILL be cherished forever! I REALLY love his work.... especially A Longford Legend

[cornobbler]

Yes that is called an overture......

[cuttinhorse101]

I played this song my junior year in high school. I was first chair first flute. Its a neat song to play

[GothPunk32]

Our band is playing this and I am so scared! I can't do some of these more complicated baritone parts. Any words of advice?

[tackotter]

@GothPunk32

Practice slowly. Also, familiarize yourself with your E-flat and G-flat major scales because those two are used for the more complicated solo lines you get near the end.

[rmauderer]

i play french horn, ya im in middle skewl, any advice?????????????????????om playing this for UIL and im scared. im almost last chair.

[irockXyourXsocks]

Haha,

someone pleaseee write back to me!(:

Is this piece hard?

Lol,i need help cause i have UIL coming up.

[nerd0yo0]

Cassidy.

No. It's not.

;)

[irockXyourXsocks]

Lol,Megannn!

Thanks lol.

&& you checked it out!!

hehe.

[seanskk]

nahhh

[BigsexyButters]

@irockXyourXsocks not really the hardest parts are in the clarinet and flute parts

[irockXyourXsocks]

Lol,thank you.

I play flute.

Gah!XD

[Zink987]

Its not hard at all, my honors band is playing this....it super fun!!!! :D

[ItsTechnologyTime]

It depends what instrument you play and how much experience you have. If you play the euphonium, (which is what I play) then it's not all that hard. I'll ask the instrument in my band you play if it's hard if you tell me what instrument you play.

[gerren623]

@ItsTechnologyTime

Im also play euphonium, the part is not hard at all. Considering Ive been playing baritone and euphonium for 6 years

[ItsTechnologyTime]

@gerren623

I've been playing it for 1 1/2.

[trupetbeast]

robert sheldon makes amazing music but im with ironhead160,i hated him as a conductor.

[ctdrums1]

we played this last year in middle school band. it was intense

[MrMatiasman]

I'm really good at it..my friend says.

I'm first chair supposedly,but im last cause im failing.

Anyways,yeah it's my second year honors band.

It's pretty easy.

[themapples121]

[irockXyourXsocks]

[nerd0yo0]

[MixedMasteress1323]

THis is a pretty easy piece... I remember playin it in middle school. :]] It's such a bEAUTIFUL piece of music.! I love ittt!

[dcsmitty1212]

middle school band played this two years ago! i love this song! it's amazing! we won TMEA and got all ones in UIL with it. beautiful.

[ShesStranded]

I loved playing this song. I had the trumpet solos and our band received superior ratings at festival for this song. I absolutely love it.

[cuttinhorse101]

Our high school played this, I love the music of Robert Sheldon, but i can't stand him as a conductor. In the Center Ring is a really good song

[ironhead160]

our high school band played this my senior yea and we won state with it... the next band was 10 points behind us which is alot for Oklahoma Band competitions

[TheButterfingered]

I just got this music today at band and I am listening to it now and it sounds absolutely amazing. :D

I can't wait to play it. :DDD

[TrebleClefBflat]

I played this song when i was in seventh grade for i.m.e.a. it was so awesome. I was glad i had first trumpet on it. we had runs on this song. ROBERT SHELDON IS AWESOME.

[MegaChocolateMilk]

Im on trumpet no this song for my school and its totally EPIC!

[XsXergelX]

I just started baritone yesterday and I have to play this by myself haha.

[peter496]

flute i meant flute

[peter496]

the flite part at 1:58 is pretty hard but cool

[gerren623]

The baritone part is incredible. But very hard.

[F45B]

We played this at our third concert of the year and since then everyone will randomly play lines of it while they warm up, such an epic song!

[dwhite0317]

My band just finished UIL and we had to play this song.

This band is really good, the only criticism is tuning, but that is just nit-picking.

[xXTheSMEXY6Xx]

woo hoo! we played this for uil......i luv this song

[JessicaBarbie]

fancy seeing you gentleman here!

[ukuLOLe]

The melody at 1:20 and other parts of the song sounds really familiar. Anyone know what it's from? It's really bothering me!

[TylersAPigeonHero]

HAHA dude i was just looking this song for myself and i find you were here too. nice.

[twisted1666]

i find it to sound a bit like bohemian rapsody at 1:20, but i dunno, thats just goin on a limb there, aha

[StreetFightBroadcast]

im playing the solo in this piece for my band-euphonium

[celticguardian951]

same

[jnydegger]

my band is playin this this year and we just played 4 UIL and got all ones i play xylo.

[mkh7206]

hey congrats!! we were going to play this... decided not to... :( so now were goin to play cajun folk songs II... thats pretty cooool :)

[krnguardianangel012]

which band is playing this? it's really good!

[jeremyjoe714]

This is a pretty fun song to play before 61 and after 137, in between those measure numbers, I would prefer to have more than a bunch of slurs for bassoon. I'm playing this for UIL (University Interscholastic League) on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 and my band has this song perfect and we love it!!

[doodlefreaklol]

my skool is plaing this,its easy i have the tambourine parts!

[SweetEscape91494]

i played this 8th grade. easy, but soooo pretty! i was out of breath by the end though.

[j4d0n]

nice tuba sound =]!

[JustinAdamss]

Measure 89 sounds really good. :) Love the Horn!

[asi357]

haha played it this year (my freshman year) in the fall.. it was a fun tune. pretty easy, too.

[SoftCoyote2003]

I played this song last year! The beginning and the end were my favorite parts because they just sounded so... how did my band director put it... jaunty!! That's the word! Sprite-like in other terms!

[redhatcore]

Info:

Chanteys

Sheldon, Robert

Texas UIL 2003 Band 3

Also, I believe that the trumpet player messes up around 3:30; the solo note should have been continues, but not quote me on that one!

This piece is manageable, but keep in mind that expression, interpretation, and professionalism are the keys to truly fine performance. Playing notes on a paper is not enough.

This is a great recording! Thanks for the posting it.

[SoftCoyote2003]

No, I'm pretty sure the trumpet was correct. Pretty sure. Like you you said, it's all about interpretation. It sounded right to me.

[shady4995]

na evan its really easy.... trust me

[trombonastico76]

Wow, what band is playing this?

[evannalynchfan1]

My middle school band is playing this... We are screwed.

[flutefreak19]

you'll will pull it together. we played this my 7th grade year. its pretty easy once you've practiced it and learn the rhythms and have all the notes under your fingers. its really fun to play too.

[flutefreak19]

also, just make sure the flutes and piccolo stay in tune with everyone else in the slow part.

[hultonclint]

Nobody is singing (?)

no singing = no chanteys

[lolcow]

its band music...

[redhatcore]

lmfao.

[hultonclint]

I can't even remember what I wrote (it doesnt appear now?), but apparently people didnt like it, ha haha
