i love this piece and i play first alto myself. Just played this for LGPE. Very good performance however, a little fast for my taste. Personally i think it sounds better slowed waaaay down. You can pull allot more emotion out of it that way. other than that very well done :)
wow that's a very big band...our band is small and pretty much all of them are flutes and we only have like 1 tuba :P I play baritone treble cleft! GO LOW BRASS!
In are band , we have second trumpets with straight mutes playing the second clarinet parts,s i dont know if they are, but it makes it sound really really good
Of course it is easy.....its not suppose to be a complicated piece.....its complicated in the sense of tone and intonation and blending together which i doubt your band had.......if you had a good band director than he would have known that
You guys did a great job here! We just played this in the Tuscaloosa Winds and I stumbled across this video while searching for a recording of this song. Bravo!
i really think you guys did a good job on this song, although after the band i was in performed this, the brass section (i think) seems to be a half or whole beat behind... am i the only one who noticed this? or am i just crazy?
I've never heard this beautiful melody played this way before. The full rich swelling tones all melded together on one long wave. Considering it was recorded outside of a studio it still sounds good enough to atleast deel the beauty in it. Thank you
Hey, I was there playing alto. I'm the asian kid sitting in the same row as you. Can't really see me in this vid though. This was probably my favorite song that we played that day. That day was so fun. XD
wow im playing this song and we go a hole lot fastre but it sound alot more pretty slower!!!!! bravo
