St. Paul's Suite I.Jig

[FreakofFrapps]

Oh, and GO CELLOS!

[FreakofFrapps]

I played this a few years ago at All State! We kicked ass! Oh, the memories...

[rosaxen]

the high school chamber ensemble in my school district played this last year, I'm in the middle school chamber ensemble and we played this just as good as them, apparently were freaky good and were not supposed to be, were playing just as good and better as that ensemble did, i love this piece.

[StupidLamb251]

Our orchestra kicked ass with this song. We won a state competition with all 4 movements. Thank you, Gustav Holst. You are a beast.

[cammy22elizabeth]

I always think of Pirates of the Caribbean!

[birdieluva1531]

Craziest three minutes of my life

[mslaxgirl21]

I'm a viola, and this is by far the BEST piece we have played!!

[BalzViola]

@mslaxgirl21  Me too!

[VioLAPlaYer239]

definitely my favorite mvt :)

VIOLAS!!!! \m/

[Iscreamnightmares]

Cellos. :D Jeez. I hate where you have to shift in the beginning. But it's getting easier. :3

[awkwardnemo]

Tempo 164 :)

[J4wnkn33]

This is hell to play.

[momopeach36]

it's fast and sooo cool!!

cello sounds awesome in this song!!

i'm really excited to play this!!

[JuanDVene]

OMG this is soooooooooo hard to play... at least it is for middle school

[JuanDVene]

@JuanDVene not so hard anymore but still fun!

[invaderVjypree7]

@JuanDVene oh cool :D we played this in middle school too... 7th and 8th grade advanced; I was an 8th grade rookie... Who couldn't read music... Yup... But this song has always been my favorite to play :D

[joemandude2]

I'm in a viola section. our intermediate orchestra's playing this. It's kinda disappointing though :P people say violas are just washed up violin players. But honestly. in our orchestra the violas are by far the strongest section. We feel like we're being held back. But believe me I LOVE the sound of this piece.

[JuanDVene]

@joemandude2 people just say that cuz violas normally don't get the melody in full orchestra pieces, or chamber music, but their solos... not the easiest thing to play.

[joemandude2]

@JuanDVene That's not what I meant. Our teacher is not giving us any difficult pieces and so I feel like our section is being held back form what we could play

[JuanDVene]

@joemandude2 Oh... 

[computersavvyeric]

@joemandude2 Look up the song "VGM (Violas Get Melody)" by Jeffrey S Bishop.

I think you'll enjoy it. ;D

[computersavvyeric]

@joemandude2 Actually, here's a direct link. :L

[garche4291]

@Baconisdelicous Someone didn't dislike it because it sounded bad, they disliked it beacuse it had no dislikes.

[StupidLamb251]

Playing this in symphonic. Hopefull we can do it justice.

[Baconisdelicous]

@Alcatrazconvict someone disliked it.....NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[catherineeliu00]

[husker666]

this piece always makes me feel alive and vibrant :)

[thatsamazing1234]

the jig and dargason are the best of this suite

[tomsstudents]

I'm playing this in my orchestra for year end concert. I really don't like that section full of sharps for the 3rd violin :(

[TheCastingStone]

Shoot, we have to play that fast. Sounds better though when fast. :)

love the painting.

[TheCastingStone]

We're playing this song in my high school!

[n8ames]

I HEAR WINDS. o_o

[21Cando]

I'm playing this in Carnegie hall, not looking forward to those triplets the 1st violins have to play =(

[PFFTLOLNOWAY2]

Addictive. with an IVE.

[JaleesaF123]

[DarkAce3434]

Slightly faster than I anticipated it to be. But still great. 

[violamistress97]

I wish I could play this movement in the Long Island String Festival Association (LISFA) this year! This movement sounds AWESOME. I like this the most out of all 4 movements I've heard.

[MeNoFool]

ugh, id rather play this piece slowly >.> i love the sound, yet its such a drag . . .

[videomaster820]

We're playing this in my orchestra. i'm 1st chair clarinet, but our conductor takes it about half to 3/4 speed, and he doesn't go critical on the dynamics -__- sounds blah. -_____-

[techdeckdude75]

IM PLAYING THIS IN ORCHESTRA

[harrypotterroxomg]

@techdeckdude75 me 2



[expert666666]

[Cattaneo1590]

[TheSteidei]

[TheGargoyleLives]

@ApsisApocynthion beats the hell out of john philip sousa. he BORED THE SHIT out of me, especially for bass guitar.

[ClarissaUchiha]

[ChilSeongGeom]

@ClarissaUchiha unicorns...?

hmm, i'd say something more... celtic. leprechauns? XD

[ClarissaUchiha]

@ChilSeongGeom haha yeah, that too!

[quitesodanny]

I play the melody on my cello.

>=]

[romino707]

I hear woodwinds...? Flute, clarinet, and bassoon? Did he arrange this for strings with winds as well?

[Kuzya3k]

@romino707 it was arranged principally for his string students, but he happened to have woodwinds in his orchestra so he couldn't really just leave them out.

[Kuzya3k]

Playing 1st and 4th movements as well as some beethoven for all city new york

[Irmalia13]

Playing all of St Pauls this weekend in Quebec for compitition w/ my HS orchestra! SO PUMPED! I love this song. <3

[crazykid881]

VIOLASSSS ROCK no one respects the

[satoshioshima12629]

i'm playing this song in my orchestra, its awsome but the problem is that the other people are having trouble playing this song on 125 tempo. it would be awsome if everyone in my orchestra knew how to play this peice of music. sigh

[FromDarkToLight]

@satoshioshima12629 us to lol

[firebreathx]

YOU TALKIN ABOUT ME SATOSHI!!!? ( Hint: I am one of the basses)

[ultimat3gangstarr]

You know, this piece doesn't have to go that fast. in fact going slow will give it a more majestic and powerful quality. I played this suite before (twice) so I know :)

[gamerX14]

sort remind me of medival times....runescape....LoZ...fo­r some ODD reason

[RetvorVasen]

Ew. Runescape.

haha jk.

[personman666]

[kelsinor26]

VIIIOOOOLLLLLAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!­

[watchingxtimexpass]

Really fun piece; we got all 1s at State Orchestra with it.

[TheJigarBhakta]

Oh my god! This is, by far, the best classical song ever! Me and my Middle School Orchestra played this on my birthday at Disney Hall!!! My school's name is MBMS (Manhattan Beach Middle School) and we are in the top group (Chamber Orchestra) on June 2nd. It was a blast!

[withoutexpectations]

My highschool's orchestra played this in competition last year...it was one of the best we've played! The whole thing is incredibly fun!

[kAylEighChaoS093]

Best song I think I've ever played in orchestra. It was so much fun, but at times hard. I didnt like it when in the Dargason it went into two different time sigs. XP

but I LOVE the song

[rmx200x]

ahhh I love this movement ;D my orchestra played it at about this speed

[kates4evs123]

[MBMSChamberOrchestra]

Wow...amazing.

[ieatnoobz4bkfst]

[kittystolemycookie94]

i agree...some orchestras that play this arent together

[sweetiecandykim]

This is probably my favourite classical songs ever (orchestral I mean), I think I like it better than the dargason!

[twilightXmcrX94]

we're playing this song in orchestra,it's hard in some parts but its fun (along with Kittystolemycookie94)

[kittystolemycookie94]

i think was played really well....we r also playing this as well as the 2nd and 4th mvts. 4 our concert.....again i think this was really well played....good job

[Lavendar770]

We are playing the jig and the finale for my school's audjudication.

[jackspicer8564]

oh, i love this song! the string ensemble played this at my school, and i wanted to play this so badly!! But of course, i didnt try out for String Ensemble, dammit. noooo, i had to stick with the regular orchestra, nooooo!!! LOL. This song also reminds me of Capt. Jack Sparrow, lol. I can just imagine him.... "YOU SIR! HOW ABOUT A SHAVE!?!?" ......uh. whoops. wrong guy.

[violinlvr773]

I love this song! We're playing it in my chamber orchestra! Hum it all the time :]

[mattz2000]

[Archangelbrooklyn]

@violinlvr773 Piece

[sakuramoon3]

[bloodmuffin1]

[MCRroxMCR]

[delano2hard]

[skyline777]

good to know delano

[obsidianwings7103]

I agree, this song is amazing but getting my section to play it in tune is impossible

[39Division]

I used to play this in orchestra all the time, its great at fast tempo! but never heard woodwinds before.

[TMMewIchigo]

omg this song gets stuck in my head all the time!!! (I'm so weird like that) but were playing it so under tempo! its like 80 times faster then we play it. hopefully we'll get there. Its such a pretty song.

[Tina13254]

We started to learn this song in the orchestra today and it's very fun. Like it!

[HouseAddict8240]

ahhh we're playing this song in orchestra, I get so mad on days we dont play it! im like man lets play the jig!!!

[thethousandorcs]

God I love this song, SPCO rocks. go MN :D

[peteryyz43]

The classical world's equivalent of a Slipknot track!!- Soooo powerful!!

[mrfunnyd]

I love this song. We're playing just this part in our Winter concert, and we're playing the later movements in the Spring concert.

[Yunkz92]

Wow I heard clarinets and trumpets? The only one I've heard is purely string orchestra. This is a better version I guess?

[BassistBoy331]

Got to love when the basses come in...:)

[xdieromanticx12]

[XxGiveMeMalicexX]

This song is so much fun to play. I'm playing it in my orchestra, but this is a little bit of a faster tempo then we do.

[ThaSchwab]

Hmm, since when were there woodwinds in this suite?

[harrietamidala1691]

this is a pretty fast recording--faster than the version on my iPod.

[gaiaDsoul]
