Folk Song Suite 2. Intermezzo

[PrettyInPink0231]

it's all about that bass clarinet ;)) 

[BladeHalen2700]

I play this song on tuba and I always have to argue with the first chair tuba that I should play the low notes because he always play the high notes and sucks at the low notes... first chair rightfully belongs to me either way

[castlesuzie]

I have the oboe solo <3 god I love this piece

[orangebhuddy29]

during the faster section, did anyone else detect lincolnshire posy mov.6 or green bushes?

[super8q3]

@orangebhuddy29 most def. green bushes. don't know about the other.

[collettjw]

Well played Eastman. But ladies and gents, we have a musical moron in our midst : someone has "disliked" this piece! How..what..why? Freedom of speech is such a great thing, even when you're wrong.

[renewong32]

Bb Clarinet !!!!!!!!!

[kaitie505]

I loved playing this piece. TUBAA <3

[GreenGuy727]

2nd TRUMPETS!!!!!

[PenguInspiration]

I play the Oboe Solo part on Bb Clarinet. TٻT

[LillyPotter7]

Did anyone else realize that the part w the picc solo....those couple bars sound like green bushes by grainger!! I wanted tht picc part sooo bad cuz I love love love green bushes and I feel like I cud play it so much better thn the soloist we actually have....she sucks and she cant tune the thing -.-

[Episkey7]

<3 Oboe

[LillyPotter7]

@Episkey7 that oboe makes it sound so damn easy......amazing....

[MatthewLewis18]

I love playing this on string bass, It is sooo pretty and I just can't get enough of that slow vibrato on the low notes. Its like the best feeling ever!

[tubsampson]

1st TRUMPETS!!!

[yellowgrl777]

woooo flutes

[TheMaster9583]

I have the 1st trumpet solo :)

[marchingeaglesfreak]

@TheMaster9583 so do i :)

[marchingeaglesfreak]

@TheMaster9583 so do i, im kinda nervous about doing it though..

[TheMaster9583]

@marchingeaglesfreak Lol, I'm the absolute worst when it comes to playing for other people or playing solos. It's not too horrible, just take a deep breath and it's all just long tones and lyrical so if you're calm then the sound won't be shaky :P

[aliceofthedead]

We are playing this for marching band. Only our Trombone1 and Trumpet 1 play the solos. Grr.

[Easerlow]

@ksmithity I play tuba as well and the low notes are the fun part! I have to perform a section of this piece for a seating audition in the fall.

[TubawithLegs]

The tuba part on this song is awesome. All of the warm pedal tones.

[bairdduvessa]

@TubawithLegs agreed, when i played it in highschool we had two tubas and a double bass and we had so much fun with it.

[zemoris1]

i just realized that the oboe fucks up in the beginning

[zemoris1]

Euphonium owns this piece. nuff said.

[Thebuzzbanator]

I am in a small band and we have one clairnet player play the solo before the poco allegro it sounds really cool!

[tubaelmougy]

Heard about 5 entrances at the beginning.

[dorkfaceflutexo]

piccolo :)

[TheMetatron333]

This song rocks! I played first horn and all those weird middle notes nobody pays attentions to are just great.

[VierdeLoscksmith]

Played this in my freshman of band, and STILL qualifies as a piece I love even though it makes me cry.

[OxyTintin]

2:22 always gave me chills as a clarinet player.

[tifa109]

OBOE OWNED!!!

[woodwinds4ever]

CLARINETS CLARINETS CLARINETS

[kayleejayne11]

GO EUPHONIUMS! :D played it my junior year in symphonic band :)

[tinkerbell041897]

[toknywpie130]

[Rammenstun]

@toknywpie130 Good on Ya :D

[GracielaQ32]

@toknywpie130 Our director just handed this piece out and i have the solo clarinet part! Haha

[MyCoDPLAYa]

@GracielaQ32 lol me too

[pinkmusicgs9102]

I play 1st trombone on this song :D It sounds cool just listening rather than playing it.

[wuka2289]

yeah baritone!

[missyflips]

This song is my favourite of the whole English Folk Song Suite! I just had to change the whole Eb clarinet part to Bb clarinet and I now get to play the melody! So excited!

[BellaTheRandom]

My band is playing this this year. I don't care much for this second movement, but the second half is pretty cool, and so is the end when we finally have the melody. I'm on 2nd clarinet.

[RayB50]

I was lead trumpet player when we played this... I remember playing all the solos in this movement and finding my GF in the audience making out with some other guy... awesome.

[Movieman87]

@RayB50 Dude, rough.

[FourthDimensionAnim]

@RayB50 ouch

[funkyjj900]

i got to play this this year 2nd chair clarinet so no solo for me =(

(got one on emperada overture) =)

[MHSRULES12]

I have this piece and i play the oboe solo, only it is on trumpet. A very exposed piece and very difficult to play.

[MCRGirl2013Oboe]

Amazing Oboe solo! :D. Go Oboes!

[LaceratedBalls]

Love the Contrabass clarinet/Bass Sax part..... Played it last year on Contra... 

[Klagmar]

Oh, man, I've got the clarinet solo where literally no one else plays...It's a little nerve-wracking.

[Damoneus]

The Piccolo solo is a lot of fun to play!

[bjbree]

@Damoneus i know! i played this in high school!

[ebeniston]

@Damoneus I agree, I got to play it this year and it was super fun!

[SunakaTsuna]

I'm an oboe, and I have to play this next month...I'm SCARED D;

[dimsimlord]

@SunakaTsuna

I've played it on oboe, don't worry about it. Just make sure the trumpet doesn't swallow you up.

[SPAZit101]

@dimsimlord well good luck with that. just make sure us tubas dont eat u up

[frailwingsx]

I played the Eflat Clarinet for this one :)

[redjar454]

As a tuba, I loved playing this part of the suite.

[MBA51290]

@redjar454 Me too!!!

[topherdrums2000]

This can't be Eastman...

[ezfreckles]

played this piece with nine flutes...couldn't stay in tune, so culled us second flutes had to play down the octive

[woodxwinds16]

@ezfreckles yea, my band has 18 flutes...it's completely aweful

[YliME7411]

@woodxwinds16 ours has 17 and it's awful as well!!

[SLIBFS0607]

ive played this in college, and the upper woodwinds had somewhat a problem staying in tune when in the altissimo register...GREAT JOB!!!

[bobareebop]

There is a pianissimo cymbal strike or crash at 3:33 that is exquisite. Just the perfect touch for that moment in the music.

[GrizzlyFroshNumber1]

ya i play tuba and so i have the tuba feature which is really cool as well. we play it really well for the second concert band at our school which has a ton of freshmen and only two seniors so its very good

[GrizzlyFroshNumber1]

we are playing this for our spring concert and this is definitely my favorite movement of the piece but overall it is just a great piece

[LunarKnight229]

I'm playing this for my spring concert too, but i don't get the solo, because i'm 2nd oboe. This is such a beautiful piece of music. My favorite out of the 5 years i've been playing oboe.

[twilighter009]

i like this song!!!

[amyexmercury]

Thanks for uploading this. I had it stuck in my head and wanted to listen to a professional recording of it. :3
