What a beautiful performance! We're playing this piece this year, and I'm going to get my first "real" euphonium solo now that I'm senior. Hopefully I do it some justice!
this song is so emotional and beautiful. i dont understand though why there are 2 piccolos in here. thats torture. it works though. im playing the piccolo part for this in my band. its absolutely stunning

@MrTruthAddict I'm also an atheist but this is still a beautiful song. If you don't like it, then what the hell are you doing on this page? By the way, awesome plagiarism of a quote that you weren't smart enough to think of on your own, but would like people to believe came straight out of that genius 'better-than-you' mind. You give atheists a bad name with your ignorant intolerance.
@thesistersmorton We've 'tolerated' religion for too long. It deserves no respect, only ridicule. I find it very difficult to respect full grown adults who believe in fairy tales. Especially one as silly as this. and dont you have better things to fret over besides someone cutting and pasting something on a yt video?
@MrTruthAddict Atheism is a material and inseperable part of Marxism Lenin . We've tolerated religion for too long, you say, Lenin thought the same so he murdered 20,000,000 Russian Christians
That trumpet player holds his trumpet so awkwardly! It's not a bad thing, he sounds great! It's just different...and looks slightly uncomfortable. Haha. ^_^
Yet another outstanding performance of the TX 5A All-State band, y'all really are incredible! This is one of the best performances of this piece on YouTube, hands down.
Unfortunately, the tubas completely destroyed the Ab, E, and B in the bass clef staff located @ 2:11. Come on, guys. It's called lip-trills, lip-slurs, long tones, and etudes like Bel Canto Studies or Brass Gym.
@Tanks4meSTC Congratulations! That is a very noteworthy accomplishment. New York has some of the finest classical musicians in the world. I also performed in California's All-State HS band when I was in High School, and earned a bachelor of music education degree in college.
Indeed, the incidence is subtle and requires the listener to focus closely. Your perception of music will radically change with learning how to study and interpret a musical score.
I am not sure if I will ever get to that point. Although I love playing the tuba (I'm planning to move to Allentown, PA when I'm an adult and play with the Allentown Community Band and march in DCA with the Reading Buccaneers) I'm going to college next year to eventually get an MS in Mechanical Engineering so I can fulfill my dream of designing roller coasters and amusement rides, a dream I have had since I was ten years old.

There is a great audio there for you to listen to. You will come away asking many questions.
this pieece is somewhat difficult just because of all the syncopation in the euphonium solo. w were going to play this at our easter chapel but then thhe princepal chose choir to perform....RAWR!
If you've never played this piece, join a community band or plead with your director and have him/her bring this out of the library to play it. It is extremely moving and just wonderful to play.
It's interesting to me how some recordings are so different from the live versions. I'm sure this was much better live than what the recording portrayed. Beautiful music and a beautiful performance none the less.
There's always that one kid to make noise -_-

trumpet solo is absolutely beautiful. at 5:10 the clarinets should of listened alittle better but overall very beautiful.

i can tell that the trumpet player is pretty nervous, dont let nerves affect the wavering of the pitch. really good
cgibson94 1 year ago
I wish I could have heard it live.
A cornet or especially a flugelhorn would have personally suited me better juxtaposed to the euphonium's sonority.
Nonetheless, a beautiful performance.

the clarinets are a little off tune at 5:15
but other than that it sounds really good.
16andabeautyqueen 1 year ago
The thing is, certain "recordings" will accentuate any pitch discrepancies. I'm sure that live, it was an entirely different experience.
