[leavingterra]

LOVE this piece!

One day I was listening to it in the car and conducting along with it...got so into it that one of my favorite rings flew right out the car window.

Never saw that ring again.

I played this in 7th grade band on Baritone. Now as a working musician, playing drums, it is still one of my favorite songs.

[tigger942bouncy]

[Kragmachine]

4:30 and on are my favorites segments

[Coleearly1991]

(Also, 06:20 to the end is like one of the best moments any musician could ever experience.) :D

[Coleearly1991]

[TrUmPeTxMaSteR]

LOVE THIS!

[Niliaayne]

I absolutely adore this piece. It has GOT to be one of my favorites....period. We played an arrangement (more of an abridged version, really, I can follow my part in this OK) and we had the BEST time. Especially after the conductor told us what a bacchanale was.... ;-)

[Drowninginantimatter]

I was alone in my room listening to this with headphones on in the dead of night and still clapped like hell. My mom doesn't understand what i was doing for some reason.

"English Horn is the shit...".

I doubt he would have putted it that way.

The entirety is great, masterpiece...

[CyferOlitaire15]

English Horn is the shit in this piece.

[LaraMusic10]

does the part at 0:27 remind anyone else of the 3rd movement (Orgia) of the Danzas Fantisticas by Turina?

[NoMusicNoMe]

@LaraMusic10 I was actually listening to that then got this stuck in my head lol
