Tam o' Shanter by Sir Malcolm Arnold

[pessimystica]

wow, i hadn't heard this since i played it in high school band camp at UT (Texas)... back in the 90's ;-) I remembered it was a very tricky piece, esp. all those rests waiting for the whip!!

[ImperfectDVM]

This is neat.

i like how they give the fast orchestral part at 7:02 and 7:31 to the Euphonium in the concert band one. i guess i have to learn it. :P

[jonnyrs1]

Great fun stuff. I havent seen or heard this since seeing it a Robert Mayer concert at the Royal Festival Hall 27 years ago.

[jonnyrs1]

Amazing. I havent seen or heard this in 27 years since seeing it at the Royal festival Hall at a Robert Mayer concert for children, Great energy & fun.

Sheer atmospheric brilliance!

[jakxcombat]

I had to do a question about this in my music exam :D

[shrinkman200]

im excited, this piece is the basis for our high school's marching opener!

[MusicallyAble14]

I'm playing this in my high school wind ensemble! It's so amazing!

i love the old men playing basoon that's hilarious

[TromboneMachine]

6:57 trombone solo. 'Well done Cuty Sark !'

[TromboneMachine]

The trombone solos are hard XD but it's really nice to play them ^^

I love the bassoons part.

And that's the first time I like to hear a piccollo :) Great job to Arnold !

[UrFavWorstNightmare]

this songs better if you have actually heard/ read tam O'Shanter-Robert Burns, makes it easier to fit the story to the music

[tstsullivan797]

this would be total rubish if by any other composer, but somehow Arnold's brilliance with the orchestra makes it work.

Doing this at the Liverpool Phil next weekend

Might sneak quietly out for tea and biscuits instead of first clarinet!

[heatherclarinet]

is that for superorchestra by any chance? cos I'm playing 1st clarinet too :)

[teuluPaul]

I will see you there (also on first clarinet). I'll definitely join you for a biscuit and tea - this is not one I am looking forward to!

[sulbirness]

it wasn't too bad eh

[lastvampyr]

[fagottist]

[bryanmc09]

[telemann732002]

I have always loved the works of Sir Malcolm Arnold, the overture here is well played, the conductor is great...

[Cramnella]
