SDSU Wind Symphony - Mannin Veen

[texancomposer]

This was a performance? How embarassing!

[xlinwenx]

I think this is lovely! Lots of expression and enthusiasm. Fantastic song.

[ScottyXKhaos]

Good thing i didn't apply to SDSU.... Their music program is obviously reeeeally bad. unless this is them sight reading and it's the lower band... but i sight read this last night and we did better than this..... sigh*

[xlinwenx]

Hey wow, you must be so cool. Look out guys, this fella did better than this. I am certainly impressed.

[airdragon91]

where's the organ?

[Beadwindow2020]

Little sluggish, little sloppy?

[darkwaltz00]

I played the cute little flute solo in the second movement when we played in my high school band

[SarekOfVulcan]

@WhiteDraenei Wuss. :-) Now, Molly on the Shore, I'd agree with you... :-)

[nichijuu]

I played this song in high school back in the late 90s. This song was randomly stuck in my head today. I miss the good ol' days :) This has an awesome clarinet (the instrument I played) part :)

[musicrocksmysoul96]

I am in love with this song...playing it on Wednesday for my band concert!!

[drdeputy]

My high school band (Christian Brothers, Memphis TN) played it about 44 years ago. I believe it was the first standing ovation they ever had at an all-state band contest and these were educators applauding. Heck of an experience.

[jacobhines93]

love this song...my school played it 2 years ago

Good critical reviews of performances, reviews written by those with tutored ears & tutored minds add to the joy of listening. Such reviews enhance both the intellectual and asthetic experience of music appreciation. The three reviews below fail in all these regards. The upper woodwinds were outstanding & intonation was near perfect. The ensemble was well balanced, the interpretation was energetic and delightful, evidence of Prof. Warman's experience & talent in rehearsing young musicians.

[turnne]

I agree. It comes of sound not well rehearsed. Some serious intonation issues in the upper woodwinds

[TrumpetGirl1]

I was honestly displeased. There were many mistakes. Ive heard better. Im sure they are individually fantastic but this didnt seem well rehearsed. E for Effort but..=\ Sorry guys.

[nutrition2fitness1]

University? I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they've performed better.

[phrawgman]

I feel like they are great individual players, but in some spots, they don't fit well together.

[turnne]

Interesting interpretation. Slower in some spots that I have heard and faster in others. I do like the varied tempo changes. A few intonation issues in the upper clarinets. I would have liked to hear some of the solo parts..6:30 in the oboe played a little slower

[tcfuturevet]

very well played!

[beautifulseclusion92]

speedy clarinets, and lovely horns :)

[55stangdude]

played this in high school,1976...always been my favorite..great job!!

[27battlez]

One of the greatest songs i've ever played.. under the conduction of Rick Lorenzen who just passed recently.. he attended SDSU! RIP

[jediknightguy82]

@27battlez Did you really write "conduction" ? Wow!

[MykolEmery]

clarinet solo at 2:46 to 3:06 rocks.

[AProckss]

i love this song

[shizzlebro7000]

I know its a wind ensemble, but im missing the cymbals.

[shizzlebro7000]

Love the slowed tempo, really draws out those notes

good job

[birdycatlady]

Ty for posting! Played this in SDSU Wind Symphony my very first semester, flute, ahem years ago... Loved hearing again! I'd recognize Mr. Warman's conducting anywhere :)

[jankydrifter]

ahah very fine clarinet soloist

maybe you guys should slow down the tempo a bit because the oboe messed up xD

[shizzlebro7000]

alreasdy slow as is. Any slower would be too much

[kingrobles2003]

i like the tuba line
