RMSoM Open Day 2003 - Highland Cathedral

[ceemosp]

@BuffersYeoman Oh I forgot to answer you question. Heeresmusikkorps 11, stationed in Bremen Grohn, Germany - 1986 until 1993 when it was disbanded due to the reforms of the German Army

[ceemosp]

@TheDrummerboi94 Maybe its the recording but YOU tell me where the pipes even can be heard at 1:20 or at 2:30. I love how the brass and the flutes "echo" the main theme and play with it at 1:52 - if they could just be a bit more subtle in other parts.

[GideonsTrump]

I have viewed nearly all vids on YouTube featuring this fine ensemble and if there is one quality that is expressed in each of them is this band's consistency in performance, timbre, pride, and professionalism. I have yet to see a "bad" performance..

I suppose that at this caliber of musicianship failure is not an option.

I've never heard this work and it's a fantastic synthesis of the solo pipe and winds. This gives me chills.

HMRM, you have unwavering respect!

God bless you!

[BuffersYeoman]

Okay what are you now saying? do you like it or do you dislike it? The Royal Marine bands are without question the best in the world??? I read and play music, these days it is a Technics home organ, I have an excellent ear., but I would never criticise professional musicians and I certainly would not criticised such on a worldwide platform.

[BuffersYeoman]

ceemosp.......... If you cannot give someone or some thing praise then don't give any. What military band have you or do you play in???????????? now let me guess? I have in my time marched behind a few of these, have you? BY RN

[ceemosp]

@BuffersYeoman have you actually learned to read or are you just blowing your patriotic whistle here?

I commented on the arrangement which is a personal opinion I am entitled to, don't you think?

Maybe you should have read a bit more thorougly to discover that I actually praised the band for its performance but disliked (and still do) this particular arrangement.

@TheDrummerboi94

Let me see, nope, after 44 years of making music myself I must have gone deaf :p

[mcwhizzkid123]

Royal marine bands kick ass !!!!!

[ceemosp]

Good performance but I don't like this arrangement at all. The band (brass and especially the cymbals) hammering the pipes into the background. This piece was written for the pipes and they should carry the music not the brass. Apart from that, an immaculate performance (as always) by this brilliant band.

[TheDrummerboi94]

@ceemosp If you have a musicians ear you'll actually hear that the brass and pipes harmonise and compliment eachother beautifully

[redrunrig]

Best band in the world is the Royal Marines.

[piepiepie250]

@siddywinkles42 thia iant a bad taste in music, if its what you enjoy then people should apreciate it! i get the same at my school, but i like it so i dont see a problem

[lorrainepreater]

Thank you. It brought tears to my eyes as my dad loved this tune, and also the Royal Marines band.. So the two combined made it even more special

[jarekgar1]

Wonderful. No-one does it better.

[playedinptown]

wow.. what else can I say? that was amazing

[yhtacc511]

Really good video!!

This number gives me chickenpocks!!

[MrAndy979]

bloody amazing cant beat the royal marines well played people!(Y)

[auseeka]

A certainly inspiring piece of music played by one of UK's finest bands, The Band Of Her Majesties Royal Marines. I used to live at Eastney, Portsmouth with out back yard on the fence at the Eastney Barracks and we would here the RM Band every Saturday.

[Firecop3482]

Stayed in Dornoch last week, went to the cathedral where this tune is about, wonderful church recommened.

[linkinparkfan42]

this song touches oneself somewhere deep in the heart <3

so beautiful <3

[siddywinkles42]

i completley agree, im 15 and people in my dorm at school dont understand when i play a song like this. they say it is bad taste of music.

[MrSleepyFox]

Pure magic. Full stop.

[HasameHiroto]

I love it.....

[04jambo1956]

I agree with you scottygorton - the march off in time is fantastic and as far as I'm concerned the best part of it all.....could watch it all day!

[scottygorton]

Can you feel you hairs on your neck stand on end 116 secs into this...If not one of the best virsions Ive heard. BRILL;;;;;;;;;;;

[chriskell9]

I don't think I have ever heard Highland Cathedral done as well as this, absolutely magnificent!

[davo1193]

[kelbag07]

The absoulte best in the world, then again I am baised, my dad was a Royal Marine bandsman for 26 years, so beautiful so skill... no wonder he was so proud in saying so

if a man should be force to battle, he can do no finer than follow a piper.

[duckym3rt]

A really good performance, this seems to be one of the only things that the british can hold there heads hight about, its a sad truth really

[ukanian]

what the hell do you mean by this? and it's 'their' by the way.

[duckym3rt]

Im guessing by the comment that you have just made you are not truely British, and what i mean by that statement is that our country is falling to bits and this is one thing that we can hold together

[uscg2626]

Just smashing!! Thats the style!!!!!!

[eastbelfastno1]

breathtaking is an understatement! omfg what a fucking wonderfull performance. pure skill and what a wonderfull tune.

[Scoobermabbz]

Nothing less then breathtaking. absolutly fantastic!

[guldklimp]

excellent!! Nothing else will explain it better!

[tonebarry]

As this country slowly falls apart, how gratifying to see that there is still at least one thing we can do to the highest possible standard.

[phase1775]

Here, here. Not only the country, but the entire world. But we still have music.

[suspectdevice7]

LEST WE FORGET!

[davo1193]

[1970ferret]

just one word sums this up-----PERFECT

[davo1193]

nice vid

[derjillnoun]

Best tune, best arrangement, best tempo. Top it off, played by the best marching band. Absolutely, the best performance on this piece.

[givsum]

@derjillnoun there are no words to describe this, except perhaps just one - perfection.

[simcolin]

Oh yes!!! This is the perfect tempo in my opinion!!

[YARROWS]

Hopefully this Year at the Edinburgh tattoo,the Royal Marines band and the Pipes and drums of the Scottish Regiments do this number.

[aardvark1956]

Awesome tune, exceptionally well done. March on gentlemen!

[123456sirrobert]

[leon91gg]

Gentlemen and ladies. Females may not be able to joing royal marines but can join royal marine s band

[3856443]

[rnr04jul79]

Second to none,it gets no finer than this,brings a tear to the eye and warms the heart.God Bless The Royal Marines

[JohnnyH1982]

Incredible, simply incredible words cant describe how great their shows are.

[EvanescenceLover76]

Love this song. My brass band can play that and we also have a piper so we play it with the pipes. Anyone else here play the trombone?
