our All state Orchestra played it years ago and though I'm partial, I think they did a much better job. I'm not very impressed with this, but then again, I chose to go to St. Olaf University over Lawrence University for a reason.
marching band geeks, stop freaking out. barber originally composed the dance of vengeance for orchestra and this tempo is definitely closer to what he intended than the hilarious band performances i've seen.
@teddyleam95 Woh wait, really? That is amazing!!! ...

Really? because I have heard other orchestras play the same arrangement and it seems faster
DrMorvia 1 year ago
@seeli0nrun Yes, agreed. Barber did provide a metronome marking.

Probably not a fair assessment, but thousands upon thousands of drum and bugle corps geeks will agree.

@flugel76 I don't think it's slow at all. And I'm the biggest DCI nerd you would ever meet.

first of all, it's not a song. second of all, you're playing an arrangement, not a version.
