My 7th and 8th grade band is playing this for out concert this spring. I play basoon and it's so beast. I literally get lost in my imagination while playing it
French Horn, the better of the... Clarinets... and it's more or less a duet chief. Horn and Clarinet double here.... at 2:30 the Clarinets kill a solo. Then back to a duet.
I play trombone and it's so epic when you're playing the song... You just get lost in your own little world while playing it.... It's like your instrument is communicating with the other instruments to make a perfect "conversation".
I love all of Michael Sweeney's pieces, this one was amazing! i want to hear Sax Attack sometime, since the saxes (what i play) are the best instrument ever! I was lucky and was selected to be in a state honor band, and Mr. Sweeney was the guest conductor. I got to work with him and play his song Earthdance. If you haven't heard that one yet, I highly suggest listening to it!
I played this song at All District band weekend! It was my favorite :) It's so beautiful. But we built up that giant note as loud as it would go. STILL LOVE IT!
@deckch7 Depends on your school, the students, and your teacher. If your school plays it at a later grade then most people claim here ITS OKAY. If you have really strict and really really good teacher, and the students are good, and your school have a good history in music, it doesn't mean you played it at an earlier grade, if you pick every single detail and really want really how to put it.....strong ( sorry if I used the wrong adjective ) musicality.
@deckch7 Its different if you have a teacher that wants to get it over with. My school is a very prestigious music school in Ontario, Canada, and we ( grade 9s ) played it, because the teacher wants to see "what we are made out off", the school's prestigious music program have the best music students all over the district, and the best music teachers in the district, plus we have a lot of professionals come in and we go to workshops. We got everything picked and checked, EVERYTHING.
@swimnpick My teacher also did her own interpretations ( not a whole bunch of changes though ). I am not afraid to admit to that it was tough ( in the month, it got easier as we went along, a lot easier, at first it was tough as with most songs, if you slug it out and developed good habits while avoiding bad ones no matter how minor it gets a lot easier ). It was a good song to know the people in your band and their abilities. The level is just for the piece, not the band :D It really depends :D
I'm a bass clarinet player (#1) and we played this in 7th grade it sounded just like this !! I loved the song it's fun and my friend he plays clarinet (#1) he loves this song and he's amazing like seriously we made it sound fantastic !
this in a grade two? my highschool band plays 5 and 6 on a regular basis. our stuffs actually on my channel(no im not trying to get you to go btw) but we played a song called Of Sailors and Whales and thats a 5-6
you know if you can match up the tempos this and children of the grave by black sabath sound almost the same at 40th second for this song and 23rd second for children of the grave
i LOVE this song. and its fun. the french horn part is soo much fun to play!!! :D i never get bored. but i like it better without percussion. i like percussion a lot, but not in this piece. :)
i LOVE this song but personally, i think it sounds kinda cooler without percussion. :) i dunno... its just that with percussion it sounds like a back song, without it sounds reaally epic. and also when theres a rest, percussion plays, and it sounds cooler when theres just silence in the rest.
But i played this song at the western districts for MA on the bari sax, it was amazing. we also played my favorite song so far, Incantations. listen to it!!
