We as members of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the American Theater Organ Society are so proud of our local talent. Organists Bob Castle and Jim Calm. And the 101st Army Band. The sound is unimaginably richer and inspiring in the Paramount theater in which this Wurlitzer was originally installed.
Einsamer Abend, ich steh in afghanischem Sand Artilleriefeuer rollt dröhnend über das Land Wo sind die Kameraden die mit mir gezogen sind, wer sagt mir wo sie sind Chorus: Auf für Frieden und für Freiheit Für das deutsche Vaterland Auf für die Ehre und das Volk Für das Banner schwarz-rot-gold Hört ihr in der Ferne wie das Deutschlandlied erklingt, weißt du wie vielen es die letzte Ehre bringt? Ob um den Kameraden irgendwo ein Mädchen weint? Er blieb liegen vor dem Feind.
A lovely rendition. This piece is one that can be played more than one way according to the situation or theme. I learned years ago that when played slowly (as at a funeral or memorial), it is as moving and inspirational as when played more as a march. Whether you prefer it fast or slow is a personal choice, but as with all hymns, it's played according to the occasion. But either way, it remains one of the most moving pieces of music ever written.
i am the same person.. baritone player.. take out organ!! also i ment that we r gonna play wayyyyyy faster!! U r the army 4 crying out loud!! i give it a c+!! ^^ remember!! FASTER!! I like the ending thats 4 sure!!^^
even though u r the army no offense but faster plz... i am in middle school and r gonna play way faster than that. u r the army play faster!!!!!! good brass though. need more brass!!! i play the baritone..in video cannot hear them!!!
guys that sucked... the soing must be faster... giving the sort of marching kind of beat... this is for a funeral. but i like the trumpets... and the bass part was good... the woodwind sucked... it sounded terrible.. consider only brass for this song.. cause i know what im talking bout... good job guys.. great effort.

ya right.. if even if it was for a funeral.. u sucked.. a funeral song?? must be slower.. very slow... reaching adagio to grave.. overall it was ok and good... its better.. woodwind is good for a few parts... i like tubas.. nice and clear... overall it was ok...
I give this about a c plus for effort...it is way too slow and just not all that thrilling or stirring as Peter J. Wilhowski meant it to be when he wrote this version.

I agree with you, in the parts where its supposed to be upbeat, it is not...not the best rendition i've ever heard!!!

I wasn't that impressed. The director seemed kinda light and not intense enough and the band didn't sound very enthusiastic for most of the song.

Are any of you people bitching about the flatness of the trumpets brass players? I'm guessing not.

Yeah you are suppose to play faster normaly. Only when you are in a state of mourning do you play this song slowly.

Usually, the army plays this only at funerals (not always though).

If you read the info about the video, you will see it *is* an army band:
"The 101st Army Band with the twin consoles of the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ in Denver's Paramount Theatre."
