This is EASTMAN?!!...you kidding me?!...what happened to the "fire" of the Wind Ensemble in the days of Frederick Fennell?! Although this performance is quite good(Eastman, after all, is still the creme de la creme), I find it rather bland and subdued by comparison...Check out the Fennell/Eastman recordings - "British Band Classics" and "English Wind Band Classics" (the second one is on YouTube) and you'll appreciate what I'm saying. (But, perhaps I've been spoiled...)
@jck1794 The big problem with this piece is it was actually written for a chamber wind ensemble, which would only have one instrument per part. It's a very linear piece and uses something like multiple canons, so that almost everyone is playing a melody line at some point. It makes it really difficult to pull off, so you have to be more expressive with dynamics, to make it seem not "barky" or "buffoonish" as my band director likes to tell us. But it really is a great piece to play!
@g00djobbob Ah haha, I thought you might be someone i knew, because my band is playing this also, and some of the stuff you have on your youtube page seems to describe someone i know haha
this score has errors in it.. we're playing it in class
