Leroy Anderson Sleigh Ride

[XxBilskDaddyxX]

wow those trumpets are absolutely terrible i could have sounded better by myself its call practice 

[jobeLewOOH]

It was the first pure orchestral piece to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Music chart.[6] From 1952 to 1961.

[jobeLewOOH]

It is a bit slow - did you know this >>>>>

"Sleigh Ride" was not written as a Christmas piece, but as a work that describes a winter event. Anderson started the work during a heat wave in July 1946. He finished the work in February 1948. Lyrics, about a person who would like to ride in a sleigh on a winter's day with another person, were written by Mitchell Parish in 1950. The orchestral version was first recorded in 1949 by Arthur Fiedler and The Boston Pops Orchestra.

Slow, little out of tune and sound from the trumpets is rare...

SLAPSTICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKK

[ysanch2011]

its okay for young players but style, intonation, tempo and bowings could improve by a lot. I do however give them props:) good job

[xEL3CTR0FURYx]

Like if you are a trombone player and you don't remember why.

[MilkMuscles]

Trumpet ?

[cfcrayray55]

[bluetoad668]

@cfcrayray55 yeah some people play it really fast

[Speedingblue95]

[Quazzaar]

@Speedingblue95 Really? At band practice you said the song was boring

[Speedingblue95]

@Quazzaar shut up harlo >:1 i contradivt myself all the time and you know it

[bluetoad668]

@Quazzaar some people think the slapstick has a funny sound

[orchestrapro]

For me it's a nice tempo. No fast racing sleigh horses as ever. Yes, I can imagine being in that sleigh having a nice trip.

Well done! And very expressive for such young players!

[cory45x]

as my director would say "any slower and you'll be going backwards"

[jcv1995]

Pick up the tempo!!!! and tune them!

[lafortune92]

Wow! Great job guys!!!!!

[chkjns]

I just finished telling someone the Boston Pops version of this was the only one worth hearing - you have shown me I was wrong!! What I just heard is superior to some commercial recordings of this song in the US.

You are more outstanding than mere words can say - you all have carreers waiting in the world's top orchestras if you wish to pursue them ! ! !

[TygorasProductions]

Yay!

[AHproefdedag]

Go AIO! ;-)
