[KamiRotasu]

This song can be pretty damn difficult on the Clarinet.

[WizzyKizznit]

@KamiRotasu Definitely! Especially with the random 6/8 measures thrown in!

[garretthegrreatt]

@KamiRotasu

very fun though!

i had the clarinet part hahah.

[msluvsnsd]

hairsh... my instructor is going to test me on this song>< i am going to ba dead as he wants all dynamics and articulation in. i have been practising hard for this and i am afraid that i might not pass this test!! :(

[AllRiledUp010]

[hollywoodismine12]

One thing that I love about this song is when it gets to 3:04 and the audience thinks that its over but nope we're only getting started! =) Beautiful piece though ~ I love it when our band plays it. Sends shivers up my spine

[TinkabellB18]

Egad

[Tehjakeman2009]

Playing trumpet for this in our spring concert, 1st Trumpet, 1st Chair. I'll admit that it's not the most challenging piece I've ever played, but it has its moments.

[Cassie120212015]

if only our ending sounded this great

[car9961]

@Cassie120212015 ya



[kati3427]

Flutes. Yes. :D

[zeldaworld7]

marimba and chimes 8th grade haha 

[SuperSmashSora]

I played xylophone,bells,chimes, and gong for this song :3 It was awesome :3

[darkshewolf951]

we r working on this song. im in 8th grade. its so hard.

[xXIXWillXWaitXx]

We sight read this piece in preparation for festival, it's such a cool piece, I hope we play it again.

[Citery]

Oh the nostalgia...

[gobobogo282]

aw we played this song tonight, i had the trumpet 2 solo lol

[MrAwesomeSaucey]

@gobobogo282 HEY sorry I couldn't be there, wish I was though!

[SaXyChIcK26]

the pick up is wat was the most confusing but our director went through the tythem. ( sax prt 2) and at 2:03 the sax one part always made me cringe! they keep playing something weird. i assumed it was them playing a f sharp when its natural. and im also a keyboard player so i know some parts aren't supposed to siound right ( but they end up doing so) but hahah! i was right! they were playing it wrong!

[TubaPlayer111]

Such love for this song.

The easiest song we currently have. XD

[enVme731]

that flute chord at 4:48 is unimaginable :D

[NatalieGoesByBubble]

Ewww I don't like this song. I hope we don't play it for contest this year cause I have the 2nd trumpet part solo :P

[littleguy257]

@NatalieGoesByBubble I have the second trumpet part solo. It's not that hard. Just some slow quarter, half, and a couple eighth notes.

[NatalieGoesByBubble]

@littleguy257 Yeah but I just don't like solos :P

[littleguy257]

@NatalieGoesByBubble The rest of the song is kinda tricky, but this is the easiest part. The only part that makes it hard is being nervous that you'll screw up.

[jackattack624]

@pudgge56 i agree, whenever i think about my festival trip to boston i think about this part of the song. they go hand in hand almost

[ramonimacaroni]

i play french horn for this piece :) i LOVE it. it gives me goosebumps every time. not when i play it of course, but when i hear this XD

[immabandgeek05]

I had forgot about this song. Loved playing it in band. I played tuba. I will say this about Swearingen, he tried to make the bass part interesting.

[KingdomheartsRokz]

I love how everyone is saying they got first chair and it's easy. Well It's not like Mozart, it is gonna be a little easier for some people, and some not. I think you guys should stop trying to show off.. If you're so good then post an audio clip of yourself playing and we'll be the judge of that. :T

[bassplayerhot]

yo back in the day this was the most ballin piece we did in band

[Devosaw]

awesome song. baritone. my band is taking this to festival. i cant wait.

[TheEpochWin]

If you hate this THEN WHY ARE YOU WATCHING AND COMMENTING? EH?

[jmao96]

@TheEpochWin at me? i dont hate this song i love it but im just saying im tired of people putting first chair and this songs really easy if its so easy y r u playing it play harder music.

[TheEpochWin]

@jmao96 thats exactly what i'm saying

im not talking about you

im referring to the dumbasses who wont challenge themselves...

[AnimeSoulX3]

I think it's cool to learn what grades and school/universities people have played it at. It's also cool to learn what instruments people play (: But, in the comments it's annoying to see "1 chair oh yeah soooo easy" if it was that easy then why did you play it? You're supposed to challenge yourself. (: That's what music is about. I love this piece, I had trouble playing it when I first got it, but now it's just really fun to hear my whole band play it (: That's what music should feel like :D

[zXEnGaGe16Xz]

First Chair Flute 9th grade; the easiest song i ever played

[jmao96]

@zXEnGaGe16Xz i dont give a shit. just say its a good song. we dont care if your good at flute or not

[AngeliqueIam]

@YourPervertNextDoor

That's what the conductor I had this summer said too. We were wondering what the f*** did they find on the last page"

[AnimeSoulX3]

My HS is plying this right now (:

[DizzyFoxkit]

I remeber cursing the oboe sheet music as it was printed on the front and back

[Tubagurl7617]

What group is performing on this recording?

[hawktalon55]

i played tenor sax for this...not very hard

[warsaw45]

i play snare for this song and i find it rather difficult because well im usually a keyboardist but my director made me play snare for this

[pudgge56]

4:44 to 4:57 always gets me...

[nyoung58]

This song is amazing.... And the trumpet solo/duet at the beginning... Absolutely phenomenal!!!! And the flute solo... Wooow! Awesome!!! This piece means a lot to me...

[juusyjuus]

im a french hornist on this song

i think its beast:p

[stormkano]

i am devoted to horn xD

im only a freshman but my friend whos a junior first chair trumpet in our schools band and the top band in the state for well yeah high school (youth symphony) well yeah she said im better than two of the french horns :D that made me happy ^w^

[tBoneM4ST3R]

it shoudldnt matter how boring or lame u think your part is. A song is written and intended to be listened to as a whole

[BeautyPageant101]

we just got this the other day to play for our concertr and the random time changes annyoy me to death! lol

[DJsports12345]

does anyone know where i can download a recording of this song?

[bobbyinfire]

True so very True

[nush0436]

I hate playing this. It's just. Gah. I'm a french hornist. So I don't really..like my part. Or the time changes. Random time changes.

[cninfernos]

oh...i'm a french hornist too and i guess the part's really boring...

[nush0436]

No! It's not boring, it's just a bit difficult at times. None of that! You are a hornist! YOU MUST UNITE! YOU MUST BE JOYOUS!

[bobbyinfire]

This is one of the best songs I ever herd
