Watchman, Tell Us of the Night Part 2

[bbfreerida787]

This piece is absolutely my favorite song that i have played...i got into wind ensemble as a freshman (im a sophmore now) in high school and we played this in our last concert...it is absolutely breath taking to hear it again...i played the 1st horn part and it brings back so many good memories...thank you

Words can not explain what this song means to mean...

[woofwoofmeow2]

Absolutely beautiful

I have constant chills when I listen to this song. So powerful. I remember half of us crying while preforming this piece.

3:30-3:50 The most beautiful bassoon solo that I have ever played

[SuperGabe2012]

wow, at the start of 0:01 to 0:53 is just so warm and sweet, gosh, such an emotional part. I get goosbumps everytime I hear this!

[pineapplk]

:55 OMG. And the horns at 2:16 and 2:23 wow. yum.

[michael10655]

@pineapplk and euphonium :P lol. that section is just freaking beautiful. i always get goosebumps and teary eyed when i play that part.

Does anyone know what kind of chord that is at 1:54? That is one of my favorite chords but I could never figure out what kind it is.

[imbatman1995]

@XxHardcoreTunes09xX its a basic minor chord with a ninth suspension i believe. in other words, (idk the root of the that particular chord so ill assume A) you got the basic A C E minor chord, they throw a B in there, which resolves back down to the A. i think :]

I absolutely adore this piece of music. Especially if one really likes to hear piccolo... it comes through *very* clear on this recording :)

I played this last year as a sophomore in high school. I was the timpanist. Anyone who says playing timpani isnt hard needs to go away

[sexyphone6]

im playing this as a freshman alto sax in high school and it is so dificult to match the upperclassmen around me in tone. I absolutely love this song.

[Phazon413]

I love this song. I played 1st horn on this last year. It's so dynamic. I wish I could get the chance to play this again.

[Philbatrom]

wow

that was fantastic

[marcomac29]

when it does that melody at 2:17 for the second time it basically completes my life. the fact that he puts it in minor the first time and major the second time literally made me have hope for mankind.

[danpendley1]

@marcomac29 beautifully said.

[littlefiddlesticks]

i played piccollo on this piece, its terrifying. its so high and exposed...

[anhanlon028]

I played this piece almost a week ago at a concert. It is probably the most profound thing in my life I've played. I've met Mr. Camphouse and I wish I could meet him again and tell him how wonderful of a piece he gave us.

[qphox]

Unreal. I played this almost 7 years ago, and was still playing along with the trumpet part on my knee. What a great piece...gettin' a little emotional here.

Props to the Camp man.

[weez1119]

Thank you for this - it is absolutely amazing. I would love to play it sometime.

[Jazzometers]
