i do prefer the wind ensemble arrangement. but this is a lovely sounding orchestra!!!! i want to hear a symphony arrangment of this piece!
-
@Ellex0Nick I agree 100%

@KojiNokemono Yes, you're right that Whitacre uses expanded harmonies that are often subtly–or glaringly–dissonant. That being said, even if you didn't know that, you could tell that this ensemble has some problems with pitch. The orchestra sounds like a solid group, but they could use more more tone on their edge. Tuning issues are more often than not a balance problem or a tone problem, rather than students playing blatantly out of tune. It just takes a teacher with who will show them that.

5:51 my alarm clock starts going off!

@bredatehfish yeah it reminded me of the first time I ever heard my sister play in an orchestra. I guess I'm emotionally attached to this song. That's somehing that disimlord will never understand.

@Ellex0Nick I prefer the string arrangement too!
-
everyone know the "cello"(couch euphonium) solo shoulda gone to a bass
-
.... the piece is played wrong. At 3:10, the music says, "in 2," which means in this recording it's played at half speed.
-
Intonation and phrasing, please. I couldn't even get past the 2:00 mark. Yuck.

yea the wind version is much much better
it sounds too abrasive and edgy...
and not to mention, the baritone solo in the string version sounds awkward and not pretty.,

It seems like everyone likes the wind version better, but i love the orchestra version. It was the first one I ever heard and I've always thought that orchestras were so much more beautiful that bands.

You sure? This IS an arrangement by Eric Whitacre X3 If you don't know his chord progressions then you might want to think twice about whether or not they're in tune.
