Vientos y Tangos - part one (first 10 minutes)

[hiohio773]

This song is so much fun. I'm a freshman high-schooler, and I play bari-sax. I loved this song so so much.

[Temarisboy]

I must say 5:00 to 5:15 is my favorite part just because our band rocks out when we play it.

[fluke421]

I played the euphonium solo, this piece is definitely a chop killer in a concert.

[southendunited10]

@fluke421 really? i totally haven't found that. it's quite low, isn't it?

[fluke421]

I played the euphonium solo, that is a heck of a chop killer.

[tereph11]

5:54 is definitely my favorite part of the piece. It's the greatest!

[juicebox90000]

I played this for TMEA All-State for Community College Band. 2nd part I think... awesome to play

[icerpoo]

This song is sooooo hard to play on euphonium! A lot of fun though :D

[tomshaw35]

beautiful.

[JustUs756]

oohh myGodd i love the clarinet part at 5:55. i could listen to tht over and over. i play horn but still...i want to learn how to play clarinet now =]

[Nick100895]

@JustUs756

Clarinet sounds amazing, I play clarinet and i wanna play this piece now

[tommizzzle]

playing this song tonight. :)

[CRdreamer]

nice but the whole performance seems a bit slow. well...more than a 'bit'. and something else is wrong about it, I just can't put my finger on it =/ irritating.

[IsaacBuffet1214]

this is so fun to play, i cant sit still. i love it

[strwrsgirl13]

my high school band is playing this, and this recording is a great way for me to get the main picture of the peice. really great!

I think we're learning it for our trip to Argentina =)

[JazzySnazzy09]

Lucky! We were going to play this piece, but my band director wants to play Sorcerer's Apprentice.

[Mr1stMallet]

My high school played this for part of our winter percussion show last year, me and my friend got to play this kick ass duet.

We thought we played it good but it is just not the same as hearing an actual symphony play it instead of just 4 mallet players, a bass player, and some rythm.

[StuckinwestTX]

Awesome song, But where is the english horn at measure 64 and at the end?? Silly sax, those are english horn solos! LOL Awesome job, except tempos were a little funky at times and i was wanting to hear more oboe and low brass at times, but overall fantastic job.

[TheAnimeGirl15]

God this is ultimitely amazing. Our top band played this and it totally kicked ass XD I wish i could get it on my ipod though O~O

[nllarsen]

There's actually a couple of ways of getting it on your iPod. I can send you the audio file if you have an e-mail address, or you can download the video from this site, extract the audio in Quicktime, and add it to your iTunes library. The former is probably the easiest. Let me know if you want the track!

P.S. Thanks for listening & commenting! Feel free to check out my other tracks of The Concordia College Band.

[oneppm]

Nice ensemble, some really good clarinets in there. The only thing that kinda concerned me was the tempo of the final tango in five part, there was not a big enough accelerando going into it, which resulted in it being pretty slow.

[dividesbyzero]

only faggots post comments about what the ensemble is doing wrong. just listen to the damn thing and leave!

[AWBG]

I love the E flat clarinet..lolz.. My college band is playing this and its a toughie...But its soo cool.. You guys sound great by the way!

[LeticiaFASHIONISTA]

mmmmmmm my orchestra will play this song for the next Québec's contest.

mmmmmmm

I am cornet 1...

And I think all you trumpet and cornet really sucks.

I don't know your nevel, I am Highschool.

But is good.

[Arlitto]

you guys kind of have some tempo problems.

During the middle section right before the clapping part, you slow down quite a bit, but then pick things up right when the clapping begins.

other than that, good for you guys =] sounds amazing!

[VilhamAnderson]

This song, Blue Shades, and Jai ete au bal are the 3 best songs of all time.

[deeperthanallroses]

Dude I've played all three and I've gotta agree.

[lem5004]

hey! wheres the flutes at measures139-154! (starts at 4:25) that the best part man!!!!!!1

[Yunoki111]

My band is playing this piece this year for competition in Chicago, and I absolutely love it! Great recording...very useful to listen to!

[tips2854]

My band is playing this right now. It gets stuck in my head. I just wish I could hear more tuba :(

[nllarsen]

I play tuba in The Concordia College Band, and we tried to play out as much as we could when it was appropriate, but our conductor likes to give us the "too much of a good thing" gesture. Thanks for listening!

[tips2854]

Thats cool you play the tuba in this :3 your real good. I never said It was because you weren't playing, my bass barley works in these speakers :P

P.S I'm playing the tuba in this too ;)

[nllarsen]

Haha, I understand how it is with the speakers. Bass from the tubas is really hard to hear in general on recordings.

Have fun with this piece! It can be a great time! It's really intense, but with some time and dedication, it'll sound amazing :-) Good luck!

P.S. For the part at 5:55 where the percussionists stomp and clap, suggest they hold roses in their teeth. It makes it a little more interesting :-)

[tips2854]

So what tuba part did you play?

[tips2854]

So what tuba did you play for this piece? 1 or 2?

[nllarsen]

I played Tuba 2, but I obviously sat next to the Tuba 1's. The only difference in the parts was one or two measures in the middle of the piece that are basically trills. Each part is a lot of fun!

[Vissor]

This song was the best, played it last school year.

[lem5004]

My arts Magnet School is playing this!!!!!!!!

[killywillythepenguin]

nice performance my high school band is taking this song on..... good clarinets....

[Musician0at0Work]

My high school is playing this.

[ahaili]

our band is playing it too and it's one of my favorites :-)

[minicolombiangrl]

my band gets to play this piece for indianapolis and im super excited. its a great song. shame it doesn't have the english horn on this recording... but its all good! :)

[oboeplayar]

I know!!! my band's playing this right now...and I'm playing the english horn part (except in the middle, where I switch to the Oboe 2 part). but the solo-esque part in the beginning and the solo at end are so interesting to listen to...i love this piece
