  • gran cancion!

  • We're doing this in band, except at a much faster tempo and with more energy. But I do like this tempo since it lets all the parts come out

  • YAY! Im going to play tht! im glad its a good peice... Thanks:D

  • someone should totally make a dubstep remix of this O: :O >:D

  • Im 1st trumpet and this song is magnificent if you havent tryed to play it!

  • Omg the third trumpet part to this is SOOO boring we play on the and of almost every beat

  • @9musicman7 I played 3rd cornet for many years and I totally agree with you. But it's a fab piece to hear !

  • @9musicman7 Hey i love this song best song ever, and i play 3rd trumpet too it ain't boring or hard. we take it so fast that after ward you are gasping for air!! love that tempo best!!

  • M'encanta esta interpretació! =)

  • BEST MARCH EVER!!!

  • We are playing this in band and i like it!!!

    

  • is there a reason why this isnt playing for me? 0.o

  • I love this song so much... We'll be playing it at our concert soon, but we (unfortunately) go WAY faster and our baritones kill the melody line... rar... I didn't even know about the piccolo pat until I heard this....WOO! Go band!

  • @LaughingRabbit96 When my fellow Baritones and I played this song, we gladly killed the melody. We felt like this song was made for us.

  • Com es nota que aquesta peça és de la festa de TARRAGONAAAA!!!! Visca Tarragonaa!!!!!!!

  • @JanSM9 VISCA TARRAGONA!!!

  • POR FAVOR, LLEVO BUSCANDO LA SEGUNDA VOZ DEL SOLO DE FLAUTIN DURANTE CASI 15 AÑOS, ALGUIEN ME LA PODRIA PASAR? ES UN DESEO INCUMPLIDO DURANTE MUCHO TIEMPO, incluso he intentado componerla yo.

  • This may be my favorite recording of this piece!

  • !Ole;con ole i olé! Bona , bona interpretació. Espere que els directors extrangers,(perdonen vostés), escolten el temps musical i aprenguen d´una vegada.

  • I agree completely with LadyPahua's comment. The beautiful tone and articulation of this band is superb. The purpose of a Pasodobre was to give the Matador the chance to swagger around a bullfighting ring to the cheers of the adoring crowd, prior to the bullfight, hence, the slower tempo. The Symphonic Band of the City of Madrid knows the proper speed to play this at. I especially love the 2 piccolo's. They are featured in their solo starting at 1:09 most bands drown this beautiful part out.

  • I think it's fair to say that tempo just might one of the least important things when it comes to this march. Personally my band played it a bit faster, but overall this ensemble's intonation and balance between voices place it above my band's rendition with the slower speed.

    ...so says the band nerd who really likes this particular march. :D

  • @ChrisHansonReturns well there is a big difference between American high school bands and Texas high school bands. You won't find too many bad sounding bands here.

  • to all the people commenting on how fast their highshool bands can play it. it's worth pointing out that there're incredibly few highschool bands who can play at speed and quality similar to this. further, if you're referring to american highschool bands, for the most part, the timbre of your brass sections is horrific, and will spoil any march.

  • I made a video of me playing this on piccolo :DD

  • for those of you saying you can't march faster than 110 bpm, the canadian forces (and i would assume the british as well) march at 120 bpm. Anyways, this is a good tempo for this song, and it lets you hear the flute solo.

  • @porkinator177 You are right about British marching speeds, although different regiments march at different speeds, generally it's 112-120. Band of the Salamanca rifles march at 132! Not easy with a tuba, lol.

  • i hated playing 1st horn part for this song at honor band, especially with braces!

  • Man, haters gonna hate, but you cant hate on this tempo! Sure there are many different opinions about march tempos, but this is what it is... damn fine!

  • love this tempo, lets you hear all the nice frilly bits that make this a masterpiece

  • Its a pasodoble, a triumphant march for a toreador, so this is the correct tempo. It is played too often like a circus march instead of what it was intended for. It was composed by a Spaniard, this is a Spanish band...they know what's what!

  • Stopp talking about tempo.This is a superb recording. Just you listen! You can march in 100 or 132: It shouldn´t be any problem at all.

  • 1:10 is the best melody of this son, and its WAY to slow, it needs to be a marked quarter note= 132, not like 95

  • @Jriggs1891 it beautiful all right, but in my opinion it is just right

  • @Oddball206 it isnt just right, it is suppose to be a tempo marking of 132, this is no more than 110

  • to fucking slow!!!!

  • @bishopsonniertv This is supposed to be performed at a speed to be marched to. Like, say, when a bull fighter is entering a rink or whatnot. You can't march at a speed much faster than this. It's perfect tempo.

    Lovely music :D

  • @bishopsonniertv It's the corret tempo about 108 0r 110. I don't know this Band but I can say they player very well for what I like to congratulate them. (I know what I'm talking about) 

  • @bishopsonniertv I agree, our high school band can play faster than this... and it's more fun the faster you go too ^.^

  • @AdvanceCycloneKiller should be faster..

  • it needs to be much faster!

  • You can't really hear the baritone at 0:12-0:30, sucks

  • @Oddball206 I'm not going to lie to you you aren't soppused to hear the baritone over much of anything, I am playing this piece in wind ensemble. Baritone is marked Piano.

  • The baritone at 1:45-2:20 is sooo amazingly beautiful!!!!! aka i'm a baritone player

  • 1st F Horn FTW :D -the solo at :34 is amazing

  • the only thing i dislike about being band is getting this kinda of music stuck in my head

    -___-

  • Playing piccolo on this !(: FTW

  • First trumpet on this song! FTW. :D

  • First trumpet on this song :D

  • esta se toco en los moros y cristianos de orihuela 2010

  • My school is playing this song this year and we went at this tempo for SIGHT-READING!!!!!!!!!! This is too slow.

  • we're palying this in my band class, but we take it a bit faster. its one of my favorite peices

  • C'est bien interprété, au bon rythme, dommage que le son ne soit pas parfait, mais cela sonne juste...

  • Strange interpretation...

  • I play 1st clarinet for this song. FTW

  • the bass clarinet part for this song is super hard

  • @podperson13 bull its super easy bro i loved my part in it

  • @htmew watdya play? im playing tis with my band for uil

  • playing this this year(8th gade) for evaluation solo clarinet part but i think it goes a little faster than this the 16th note quintepalets are faster if i remember.

  • Yo me gusta!!

  • Oh yea, awesome song, too bad I play 2nd trumpet and the part kind of stinks

    

  • @AngelofDeath000013 Dude I play baritone on this song for my wind ensemble and it's pretty intense. Melody is everywhere for Baritones

  • @XxXFrostyXx I know man. I feel ya. (I'm a baritone)

  • no es un pasodoble en verdad es una marxa militar

  • VISCA EL NÀSTIC I VISCA TARRAGONA!

  • VISCA SANTA TECLA I VISCA TARRAGONA!!!!!!!!

  • i just got this song today...and this still seems verry fast :) it sounds really great!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why is the lower brass 4th note wrong? Shouldn't it be a C natural?  Really slow too.

  • Why is the lower brass 4th note wrong? Shouldn't it be a C natural?

  • Este pasodoble me trae a la memoria mis años de fiestas en pueblos de Guadalajara y me emociono al recordarlos.

  • The rhythms are fine, the tone and intonation is there, and the band did a great job at shaping the musical line. I looked this piece up to help keep myself awake while I did my homework, however, the tempo is pathetic, and I must continue my search for a faster march.

  • from 1:10 this is a great part for the solo trumpet, but in this rendition is it almost completely absent.

  • ES ``EL CLÁSICO´´, que banda municipal no la ha tocado alguna vez...

  • The best thing about this rendition is how clearly you can hear ALL the parts, especially the flutes which are essential to making this piece what it should be. This is the best quality recording that I've been able to find so far on YouTube. Bravo.

  • Es la mejor sin duda, a pesar que ahy tantas y tan buenas... ole .. viva el pasodoble

  • I'd rather hear a piece played at a slightly slower tempo than intended and be able to hear all the parts cleanly. Rushing through a tune at breakneck speed is sometimes ok........if you have nothing in the band but virtuoso musicians who can handle the tempo and still have "oneness".

  • billycosboy tu no entiendes de pasodobles

  • Viva Santa Tecla!!! jeje

  • los contrabandistas arrancaron con este pasodoble en la diana espectacular..

    viva alcoy y san jorge

  • At 160 bpm this piece would be so muddy and cluttered that it would be painful to hear.. This is a nice tempo for it. the term "vivace" isn't chisled in stone, however it's considered to be around 140 bpm by most band directors. If you want it "as fast as possible"......Prestissimo is it. I played this piece in high school band.

  • our band played it much faster =o....this is nice, though =o.

  • this made me remember my first year in marching band...a 7th grader marching a show where the time signature was 6/8 then 2/4. one measure after the other. closer was 178 bpm. i almost died that year....

  • Too slow? It's being performed by the Symphony Band of the City of Madrid. The only way to get more authentic is for Jaime Teixidor to play it himself. When we Americans say it's "too slow", it's like a Russian person telling us the right way to play country western. This is a march in paso doble style, so this is actually the right speed.

  • yo soy partidario que se toque más lento, va demasiado rápido para mi gusto. La interpretación sin embargo, es muy buena

    Saludos

  • this ensemble has a great sound, but I would have loved to hear this piece at a much quicker tempo.

  • It sounds SO slow compared to how fast my director is taking it. Honestly I think it would sound a thousand times better if he took it this slow at first because our percision stinks.

  • es caca. muy SLOW!!!!!!

  • I agree with dieterdress1980

    i think you get more of the richness when taken this slow

    Our District Honor Band did this, and I fell in love with it. The Solo Clarient part is soooo cooool <3 <3 haha

    (I was1st chair xD)

    But anyway, I think it sounds fine at this tempo. Anything slower might be pushing it, though. =)

  • i guess it ain't too slow at all; a paso doble is meant to be played this slow. 'Though an excellent version, the black dyke mills' band version is way too fast:-) Anyway, it depends on the conductor's approach...

  • I'm not sure that many bands could pull off this piece SIXTY clicks FASTER.

    And like what SpeedyNeutrino43 said, I haven't heard many bands play a song like this near 160 without good articulation and whatnot.

    Well, our Region Band this year is playing this (: It's epic because we're also playing it in class LOL. I have a lead on the others on what it's meant to sound, muahaha....

  • great flute section, the band im in is doing this but ours is much more staccato and bout 60 beats faster

  • Heeey :DDD I go to SNJH too!! High five Kris. Lol aaanywayys. The tone quality is good.... I just wish it were faster and at that it were louder and bolder at the part where the snare drum plays sixteenth notes. Well played though. I liked the piccolo playing along with the trumpet solo too :)

  • we're playing this at SNJH and we're totally knocking this tempo up!!!! I'm a tuba so luckily my part is fairly is easy.... the background instrument playing at 1:10 is my part! :P

  • our band is playing this...and we're playing it at a much slower speed. its really boring right now. and the us (the french horn) have such boring stuff. and i like this song because it sounds like merry-go-round music!

  • lmao our band is playing this at about 120 clicks and im a Tuba player BBb 4 rotor tuba is not fun to play the dog fight on

  • Amparito Roca era tia de Bernat Soria,el ex ministro.

  • @carletina21

    Vixca Carlet!! i amunt Gandia... jajaja!!

  • I wish you and your band the very best RockAngel....I'm a former bandsman and I remember how those competitions were. Good luck...!

  • I"ve never heard this piece played anywhere near 160 without sounding very muddy.

  • Let me just say once again, that this might be the best one I've seen so far but with a good intonation like that, I wish you had given me more dynamics. Pitches tend to get stronger and richer as they become more and more in tune so just build on that lush sound and you'll do just fine-

    Our band will be performing this piece at FBA. please wish us luck.

  • Our band will be performing this piece at FBA too

  • in my high school im playing lead trumpet..we are going way slower then this though

  • At about 1:25, those sound like piccolos. Are they? Because on my music, it's marked for flute.

  • theres both

  • There are variations for this piece. :)

  • @JesusChristLives100 Yes ... In tje original work this solo is for the piccolo.

  • awesome song, a staple for every high school band... nicely played. I find that it is most effective around Q.=138. this playing seems a bit slow

  • its very slow haha its written more around the 160 range but it sounds nice this slow

  • I really like the saxophone part at 2:36, sounds really nice together with the other parts, particularly the trumpet/clarinet part.

  • We played this in high school. I was the trombone you hear at the beginning.

  • la cançó de la colla jove de tarragona i de les festes majorsss:)

    quans recordss:)

  • ole baby

  • Amparito Roca i la marcha milital d'El Turuta son els grans himnes del carnaval de Vilanova i la Geltrú (Garraf, Barcelona)

    aquest pasdoble em posa la pell de gallina.

    Visca Vilanova !

  • Comment removed

  • This seems to be the most effective tempo for this piece. I agree with jfuentes....very nice composition.

  • tanto comentario de ingleses.. qe entenderan ellos de pasodobles...

  • Comment removed

  • At least the snare is in time, not like in another video of this I've seen.

  • Visca santa Tecla!!!!

  • Viscaaaaaaaaaa!

  • Hmmm, should be faster.

  • que verga por favor!!!!!!!!!!! yo crei que era la chica mas tentona y culona del mundo mi compañera...!!! con ella perdi la virginidad =) hace unos petes tremendo la desgraciado y el anal ni te cueneto!!! en fin vive en Zapala esta putita!

  • Este sitio web es para comentarios positivos, no por comentarios desagradables como la suya. Era rudo en las cuentas de tantos para que usted ponga de que cuando la gente viene aquí a escuchar música.

  • Poor idea. Please, dont' ruin music pieces with anomalous speed

  • i have to say that this is the correct speed of this music speed, the others are faster than the original

  • Cierto. Antes pues un comentario dirigido a los americanos, que no les gusta tan "lenta"... qué sabrán lo que es un pasodoble.

  • Sorry. Mine was a reply for that guys that like the faster than light version. I don't know how but it has been posted here.

    I like that music really much because it is like a pasodoble has to be.

  • The tempo is perfect and authentic as played herein. The tonal colors are beautiful. Bravo!!

  • Once upon a time when I was a high school bandsman our band played this piece too. I thought it was beautiful at the time and it still is. Our symphonic orchestra had 140 members and full instrumentation. There were 350 members in the entire band. I sometimes wish I could go back.

  • Despues de escuchar varios amparitos , esta es la mejor versión.

    Ozú menua banda

  • Força !!!

  • Visca Santa Tecla! Visca Tarraona!

  • And the euphonium part is very wonderful too

  • Well, i am spanish and i tell you, this is the real tempo of amparito roca, the "Banda Sinfónica of Madrid" is a very very very very very good band, (i think one one of the best in the world), and this is the perfecti versioni of Amparito Roca, if you don't play amparito roca like that, it's bad

  • my schools band went to new york last year and played in carnegie hall. this was the 2nd bands song,sheperds hey was the thirds,and rhapsody in blue was the wind ensembles song.

  • This one is well balanced. You can actually hear all the indivual parts so well. Combined together is just amazing. The faster version of this doesn't do as well.

  • This is the best balance I have ever heard.

  • i love this song! <3 its so awesome my high school band is playing this at about this tempo i love the tenor sax part

  • Holy smokes !! There' a beautiful flute harmony from 1:10 to 1:39 that most bands drown out ... WOW !! Great flute playing !!! Pretty harmony

    ------------------------------­-----------------------

    Correction ! ... It's two Piccalo's ... it's a very pretty and catchy part of the song. This is the first version I've ever heard this part clearly ... it almost always gets drowned out by the other instruments

  • I agree. We have an extremely professional flute player but no one can ever here how cool it is especially at the triplets cause the trumpets drowned him out.

  • Strange... I once played the piccolo and the solo was done by a single flute and not the piccolo. It was still pretty good because or conductor cared for that to be heard...

  • Comment removed

  • super slow..i practically fell asleep in during this song!!

  • we're playing this in my concert band at school :D

  • the frech horn for this part sux if you're a middle school french horn!! my band is playing this at our spring concert. i hope we end up sounding this good! great job!! i dont think we will though...our low brass players dont even know how to play the funny slide thing. its sad.

  • Holy smokes !! There' a beautiful flute harmony from 1:10 to 1:39 that most bands drown out ... WOW !! Great flute playing !!! Pretty harmony

  • hey, i get to play that part :]

    this song is stuck in my head all the time now

  • @8642206b that's called a melody!

    

  • Our Brass Band's playing a great arrangement of this! One of the best Paso Dobles out there, I say!

  • This is so slow compared to the tempo we are playing it for our concert. We got our version done in 2 minutes flat. It's the way our conductor wants us to do it, but nevertheless it's a great piece, especially for clarinet.

  • Me encanta.

  • I know perfectly whats means pasodoble and no need translation for it. Pasodoble come from Paso doble its a MILITARY time of march at 120 bpm. The pasodoble originaly was a military music stile created for this tempo of march, and that's the right tempo of pasodoble 120 bpm NO MOORE!! And of course not "really really fast"

  • what's a pasodoble?

    and im probably like the guy below...but i think it's pretty slow too...

    no clarinet solo? flute solo was good though

  • The Pasodoble is a tipical spanish music.

    I recomend you listen this type of music in Córdoba.

    Bye

  • tempo is too slow.

  • What's hells you telling, are you gonna show an spanish band what's the right tempo for a pasodoble? I'm tired to see videos of this song played like the band want's to stablish a new world speed record. Too much fast food and too few feeling... Listen the videos of eltuba8 & ivannaron and learn wahts is a pasodoble before tell the "tempo is too slow!!!

    I'm getting angry every time i read something like that from probably a high school studen that nevrhas listen a pasodoble befo

  • Too much "Einsteins" trying to say to an Austrian band how to play a Waltz.. an italian one how to play a tarantella or an Spanish how to play a pasodoble...

    Just one comentary to the performance of the Sinfónica de Madrid... OOOOOOOOOOOOOLÉ!!!

  • You are sooo right...Most pasodoble's versions coming from outside Spain are horribly performed.Usually,they don´t get the tempo right(despite the fact they can play their instruments),

    BECAUSE they do not understand the real nature of a

    pasodoble.That´s why they say it´s slow.If they could only know how close you can dance with a woman(or,depending your preference,a man)they would slow the tempo down right away.Saludos,amigo,y ¡olééé!hasta que nos quedemos afónicos.

  • I don't know if you've ever played this piece but I have. The tempo is marked as vivace at the very beginning. This interpretation is certainly not vivace. I usually consider vivace as 160 beats per minute.

  • hey reards there is two versions of the piece one is slower 20-130 and another is 160-180 ok there.

  • Maybe you got forced to play a bad arrangement of this music?

  • in a pasodoble, the tempo is not exact, it's a dance, a tipical spanish dance, you have to can dance it, if you can't, tempo is bad, to fast or to slow. We are lucky, a spanish doesn't need tempo indication to play a pasodoble.

    There isn't "one universal tempo" for a pasodoble...

  • @billycosboy pasodobles are not danced

  • @billycosboy This is the normal tempo for this piece.

  • @Nessunet The actual tempo is not specified in the original.

  • So that's what it's like to have flute players. I'm impressed. 5 out of 5!!

  • beautiful!

  • It's enjoyable at both ends of the spectrum. The slowness embellishes the melodies and harmonies, yet the fast really gives it an exciting movement.

  • Yay that was great! We are learning to play this song in my band and it sounds amazing XD

  • es un pasodoble bonico pero de valencia jaja

  • I com no potser d'altre manera.. el pasdoble espanyol mes internacional esta compost per un catalá. Jaume Teixidor Dalmau
