I thought it was performed very well given the complexity of the piece. I had the pleasure of playing this in 2004 and (at least for 4th chair clarinet) there were a lot of key changes; not to mention the piece was in 6/8 which switches from a 3/4 to a 2/4 every other measure. There were a few flat notes that I heard near the beginning, but that could be because of an improper warm up. I still have the sheet music.. I am going to see if I can still play this now. :D
marimba players sticking height was wayyyyy too high causing him to miss 40% of the notes -__- i had that problem last year in concertino for four percussion and wind ensemble but this year i am rocking the tempered steel marimba part!!!!
The part that sounds if'y is supossed to be like that. It is called a round, and the parts trade off from trumpet, to trombone, to trumpet, to tuba, to picalo. It is just crazy!!!! But freakishly fun!!!!
I'm playing this in Wind Ensemble this semester, and we're playing some really difficult pieces (like Dance Movements...UGH. DEATH.). This is my favorite because it sounds great, and it's hard without being brutal. :)
this is the longest song my high school band's playing at the spring concert. our director played an mp3 for us & we were like "this is so cool! but it's gonna be a lot of work!"
@justinbieberfabulous The fact that you are in middle school is the exact reason for you very disappointing opinion. Try playing this piece and maybe you'll understand how difficult it is.
@justinbieberfabulous Well, they're definitely up to tempo, so you can blame the length on the composer. And I thought the solos were awesome. I'm not sure you realize how difficult this piece is. We played it last year in the band I play in and it was notttt easy, by any means. It's somewhat rude to go around calling other peoples' work "sucky," especially when it clearly is not and when it required a lot of work to learn.
@justinbieberfabulous Just going to let you know, that the clarinets have everything BUT the melody for this entire piece. And in fact I hear them quite well.
Also, the difficulty for the trumpet solo is astronomical, and it trades off between the 1st and second part.
And the piece is not long. The best pieces of music are the longest ones.
More substance to enjoy.
Not an argument, but rather a clarification of your opinion to enhance your enjoyment.
I LOVED PLAYING TENOR SAX FOR THIS SONG! it was such a fun and challenging piece but i agree it was so worth it in the end :D we played it for the band festival and got a superior, the judge said there was nothing we could improve on it :D IT WAS AMAZING!
I think this is one of the best pieces for band that I've ever played. We played it in Wisconsin State Honors Band 2004, and we even had the opportunity to meet and work with the composer. It really does seem to go faster playing than listening to it. Great piece!
Is it just me or when you are playing the song time seems to go a lot faster rather than when you're listening to it...it didnt feel like nine minutes when we played this
My high school's 2nd Band played this piece for UIL. It certaintly wasn't that easy. And those trumpet solos were pretty hard as you can tell these guys sucked on them too lol
My high school won the compitition at Six Flags over Georia with this song!!! I beleive it was 2005.... most of our band felt like we had just ran a marathon everytime we played it
Im in HIgh School and that was what we played for contest!! it was the hardest thing ever over 300 measures omg but we made straigh ones all the woot woot!!!!
good performance....i played this my first semester in college...only difference is we played it 4x's that fast...and there was only like one person to a part so the whole thing was like one giant solo
This piece is really weird, for half the instruments you know 4 bars and you know the whole thing. The other half is random the entire time, I'm playing it now and we are actually doing it surprisingly
I love this song! I just got back from my district band festival, and my friend's band played this song for us. It sounds amazing, and I love all the percussion parts for it!
In my high school, at the end of the year, the seniors get to pick their favorites songs, and our wind ensemble plays them for our last concert. This song is definate (: I can't wait for the clarinet solo!
Great performance, btw. I enjoyed it very much! I wish our wind ensemble could play as majestically. I think our woodwind section plays louder than our brass :/
I love this. I played it three years ago at the State Honours Band.... that Oboe Solo still sends shivers up my spine. Love it all!!!! Isn't the sound of the Euph devine...
Agreed. As a bass clarinet player, I can say that my own school's wind ensemble needs more bass clarinet in it, too. I've yet to hear a piece posted here that has enough to have a decent low winds balance.
I played most of the percussive parts, only performed the xylophone one, they're all pretty interesting, it's much less about the action you get, and more about how you shine when you do get that action. Hell, even when I had the tambourine in this piece I did the best I could to just nail every note, even if they were rudimentary.
Did you practice the parts because of your band or just because you wanted to learn the parts? My bands just assigns one and that's all we get :(. Percussion is so fun to play though, so much variety~.
well, we had to be able to carry on without people, so we were all assigned our parts, I had xylophone, but I had lots of rests, so I picked up tambourine and maracas, since we only had one person on that part (it was crazy, needs at least 2), so I had to learn both of those, then the marimba player was out with the flu for a while, so I had to cover him (cause the woodwinds kinda had my part covered anyway), so I learned marimba too, but I wasn't that good at it.
How many percussionists do you have in your band? Our band has never had a problem with parts, if anything, there's always not enough parts for the percussionists. I'm pretty impressed that you could learn all those parts, all I knew were the timpani and suspended cymbal parts.
It was pretty good with exceptions toward the later part of the piece, after the flute solo. I'm also disappointed that the piccolo didn't take stuff as written or obviously did not play the dynamic it was supposed to.
The tuba part fricken rocks!!! We are playing it this semester at the University I am attending!! Soooo sweet.... so much better than typical tuba parts!!!
Gosh Tempered Steel brings back so many memories. My high school's Honors Band, which I was in, played this for our UIL concert back in 2001. I loved playing it. The song is so full of life. :) Straight 1's baby! woot woot!...okay I'm done reminiscing. haha.
Trust me, it's a cool lick, but I have to play it so many times that I'm sick of it. The tenor sax part is only sforzando holds and that eighth-note part.
To make this song a little less boring get trombone's parts & play that cuz those are one of the coolest parts in the song besides the eight notes. It bothers me that Mr. Young didn't give those parts to Tenor Sax also.
it is repetitive, but it's so cool cuz normally low reeds don't have melodies like that but in my opinion it's pretty cool that tenor sax actually has something that's like the melody
my high school band played this song and i covered the gong part. it was all triple forte, so i had a lot of fun! too much fun, actually, according to my teacher :)
HAHAHAAH! That's the part I played in high school, only I played all 3 trumpet solo parts in succession. That last note (A flat) is admittedly a little hard to hit, but that kid screwed up so bad. Embarrassing.
Eh. I have the first alto part on this, and I only have one page front and back. I noticed a lack of a double bar after a series of 68 measures of rest at the bottom of the back page. I asked my director and he said that it was supposed to end there and it was a typo. Listening to this recording, it goes much further than 2 pages. Does anybody know how many pages there are for the alto?
I agree with SixteenRainings. I'm trying out for the same band that he is on alto, and there seems to be a lack of music. How many measures are in this piece?
BlueOctane, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that only got a front and back part. Does your copy of Molly on the Shore have soprano on the back of one page and tenor on the back of the other?
this is one of those songs that will make you or break you. everyone knows this song and if you dont play it RIGHT, you suck! haha seriously....i hate when bands play it slow, it means THEY CANT DO IT!!!!
dogg shut the fuck up if yo hatin ass aint got nuthin 2 say then dont say nuthin damn yo weak ass think u the shit probably cant even play wit yo bitch ass damn I cant stand haters and was at the right tempo any faster and it would sound retarded
I see your maturity is at your height. By the way, our Wind Ensemble played this at a slightly faster tempo. I've heard more professional recordings that play faster. Also I'm not hating, I'm just pointing out some minor mistakes.
I thought I would see "Tempering in steel" with 'eardelete', hehe.

Ugh, it's going WAAAAAAAAY too slow. The director shouldn't have slowed down the tempo.

HAHAHAAH! That's the part I played in high school, only I played all 3 trumpet solo parts in succession. That last note (A flat) is admittedly a little hard to hit, but that kid screwed up so bad. Embarrassing.

Eh. I have the first alto part on this, and I only have one page front and back. I noticed a lack of a double bar after a series of 68 measures of rest at the bottom of the back page. I asked my director and he said that it was supposed to end there and it was a typo. Listening to this recording, it goes much further than 2 pages. Does anybody know how many pages there are for the alto?

I agree with SixteenRainings. I'm trying out for the same band that he is on alto, and there seems to be a lack of music. How many measures are in this piece?

BlueOctane, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that only got a front and back part. Does your copy of Molly on the Shore have soprano on the back of one page and tenor on the back of the other?

Yeah. It's all screwed up. Whoever put the packets together did not do a very good job. Where do you go to school?
Blue0ctane 3 years ago
I don't anounce that for everyone on Youtube, kinda foolish. I'll send you a Personal Message tho.
But yeah, the music is ridiculous this year. My band director was SO confused, haha.

I see your maturity is at your height. By the way, our Wind Ensemble played this at a slightly faster tempo. I've heard more professional recordings that play faster. Also I'm not hating, I'm just pointing out some minor mistakes.
