Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral

[landhunterr]

its alright....

[BCati]

good job first clarinets with a really difficult piece. Those super high notes are so difficult to play in tune!

[cutekibalover]

lol such a beautiful song. I'm glad we get to play this for the field trip to california. Oh too excited~!

[nyjdogg]

lol i play 2nd trombone in this song..not this performance

[danilokillo93]

this is great its perfect!!

this is so inspired

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

My brother is playing this piece (trombone) with the Bucknell symphonic band.

[nyjdogg]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 Nice i'm playin it on trombone 2...Not that you care or anything =P

[123swimnerd]

@nyjdogg Im playing it on trombone too. It's really boring at the beginning, but then we have melody in some parts. For my band that is. We're preety small. Like 13 people kind of small.

[SakuraShinobi5]

who keeps coughing? lol

careful w/ tone quality! Great job! i love this piece! :D

[sdingeswho]

Just gorgeous, with real "Wagner tubas", and from a group of *young* people, too! :-D Five stars, and "five tears of joy"! Thank you!

[kkjelt]

Wagner tubas? If you mean those two to the right, those are normal German tradition bass or contra bass tubas. A Wagner tuba on the other hand is a weird instrument with a small bore, looking like those German oval, rotary valve euphoniums/ baritones. Played with a french horn mouth piece.

[prankster1392]

Watch intonation with the flutes, and make sure all the grace notes are played together, but otherwise it was very good. ^^

The oboe and clarinet solos were very good, as was the flute one at the beginning.

[DippyDawg1932]

No one asked.

[Believeitx3]

We are currently playing this in our high school and the horn part is very different o.O for example there are two solos that play with the flutes two measures into the beginning.

Huh.

This band did a nice job.

[deesam1]

Beautiful piece alway wanna play it i play lead trumpet for 4 year i think i can handle this

[car2052]

This song is awesome,  i play 2nd cornet on this with my group.

[robthereedman]

it is a beautiful song. Hard to play pppp at the beginning. Easier to end up ffff at the end.

[Agentus004]

For sure. Upper register with full support at that volume is ridiculous.

[prepboys1]

It's all in the abdomen.

[nivekclarinet]

dis is a hard piece..hard piece because of the balance of sound and the intonation..i played this piece before...i loved it

[LWest135]

i love this it sounds very good my high school did a marching band production of different Wagner hits and this was one you sound really good look up lakota west at state if you want to hear and see it

[Kenmonseika]

I play 1st clarinet in my middle school on that song. On the first 8 measures, I play the bottom part on the duet.

[lejandran2]

i love when the trumpet comes in... i play tat part..lol!!

[barakvesh]

Man, someone always coughs during the beginning.  Always.

[robthereedman]

You beat me to it . I was going to say that some idiot always coughs at the beginning of songs like this. And I do mean idiot!

[plutarco7890]

Good job guys

[augustiano]

I played first horn part in our high school production of Elsa's Procession. It remains my absolute favorite memory from my eight years of playing French Horn. Thanks so much for allowing me to relive that special moment.

[UK2WKfan2]

1st Horn in Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral is epically AMAZING!!

[authourbrown]

vielen dank! wish my high school would have played the divine wagner!

[Funbone2]

This is a first-rate job of playing. Lucien Cailliett's famous transcription of this Wagner selection is a masterpiece in itself. I myself wouldn't have taken the liberities that Ms. Fannin does at the end, but each Wagner to his or her own. As

a euphonium player, this is one of my favorite works to perform. My compliments!

[radlikewhoa]

i played this in the all-state band for Mississippi this year and honestly this is one of my favorite pieces of music. it's so gorgeous and emotional and AHH ! hahahlaskjd im glad i was on first clarinet part though, it really tests your abilities with the notes. great piece, great band playing it !

-nickk

[xforxyouxixwill]

a little slow.. for me but well done.. the lows really need to play out more..

[Luthmann]

Great music of R. Wagner. Most of the paintings by Bouguereau are quite familiar to me, but I hadn't known who had made them. Do you see the pair of Wagner tubas back there in the brass, always playing right under and reinforcing the trombones? It was quite a bit of a student effort, but it was great fun!

I remember playing Wagner Tuba when we performed this as a contest piece by the New York Philharmonic Training Orchestra.

[skiTahoe07]

where are yall from?? my band is playing this this year, but we're playing it faster and our band is bigger..

[moretg]

Well Done... a little bit too slow but with great emotions!

[jessieclance]

my high school band is playing this. Im a percussionist so needless to say I hated this song at first because of the absence of percussion parts. As time went on, this song grew on me. We have our festival in two weeks. great song.

[WilfredIvanhoe]

This is some youth wind orchestra? They play damn well; Wagner isn't the easiest music of all.

[Hotboy4U2C]

Watch pitch in the opening. Very nice oboe and clarinet solo. Watch the pitch leading into the key change both time. Clarinets bring the part out when you have the moving notes and the rest of the band have the main thems....you have something new that has been heard until that moment so bring it out.
