Fantasia on the Dargason

YES I KNOW IT'S PLAYED A LOT SLOWER THAN WHAT YOU THOUGHT! SO SHUT UP ALREADY! And yet again, another Saginaw Wind Ensemble piece from "Second Suite in F Major for Military Band." Personally this is my most favorite song to play out of the forth movements!

And I mean it when I say that I really enjoyed playing this piece!!!

[nekochan706]

Any alto clarinet players here?

[dart20918]

@nekochan706 Yes there were, but Ibelieved that we had only 1 in our band at the time.

[uzielochoa8a8a8a]

Hey just curious is there any keyboard parts for this like the marimba or anything like that?

[dart20918]

@Not that I'm aware of. We were straight Brass, Woodwind, and basic percussion with tamborine

[bigpapa199460]

no actually i checked its tenor

[dart20918]

If you are asking who played the solo in that recording, it was an alto (I know because we had to compromise most of the parts that year). But I'm pretty sure it should have been a tenor.

[awmpty]

who's stopping you? just becasue you're supposedly really good at tuba doesn't give you the right to insult this tuba player.

[uskyph]

@dart20918 actually the piece we have has a huge part of percussion in it.

[Dorda098]

@dart20918 I confirm that there is none.

Our school's orchestra played this for UIL and the school's band is playing this for their spring concert. I love this piece.

[ichigosw1]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! i listen to this everyday cause our band id playing! a middle school band! thanks, for uploading a slower version, i like it better slow. (sounds better)

[MrAriosca]

@Axalara Yeah. it's really easy on clarinet.

[Axalara]

Dude, we play it slower too, it's crazy, it seems like everyone plays it fast.

[ILoveRizaHawkeye]

'I guess Fai likes me...' LOL his face XD

[NarumiKenshin]

This piece sounds good, the clarinet sounds too narrow sounding tho, beyond that, great piece.

The Alto and Tenor Sax Solo at the beginning is nice.

[mandy112667]

this is a hard piece. were playing it in my band right now...6/8 time is confusing..

[kickasstaco]

Lol..

my highschool band has/had a really fat person on oboe.

[XCoco666]

@kickasstaco you be right. I play Both, and I'm all state level for both. Both have there key spots which makes them more difficult. But in the long run, Tuba is a real pain in the ass to get, and for some people it's just not possible. Like a fat person on an oboe.

[kickasstaco]

I can play tuba. its easier for me than clarinet. but thats just me. and yeah because the clarinet parts are much faster. thats the thing. sooo. with a piece for clarinet being super fast and a slow piece for tuba. I say there about equal. it just depends on what skill you have

[mide7]

@kickasstaco the reason its harder on tuba is because valves take a lot longer time to push down then keys. Buzzing on a mouthpiece requires many different apertures, than a reed does. Tuba buzzing is especially difficult since your lips are buzzing more loosely than any other instrument. Also if you have trouble with clarinet fingerings then you probably don't play it to well because fingerings usually come naturally. That is the reason wood winds usually play faster parts and brass plays slow.

[iknewthtduhh45]

the marching band im in played this. we won championships. memories <3

[XCoco666]

No... Not at all. I play Tuba and Clarinet. Sure, when it get's higher with the clarinet, jumping around the fingerings for high E and above get's difficult; But just saying "3valves isn't hard." is kinda wrong. Seeing we actually have to do stuff to change from note to note instead of just changing a fingering. :X

[kickasstaco]

Clarinet is Much harder than tuba. Dude the fingerings are insane. especially when it comes to hard songs. We need 9 fingers you only need 3 And sometimes 4.

[XCoco666]

That. Was god fully slow. But it sounded good regardless. Be nice, it's not that easy to play the tuba, as say the clarinet.

[Kduceee]

tuba doesn't know how to play in time or something? wtf

there was this girl in my wind ensemble..she only got in it coz she bitched and complained so much..i played tuba for a month (orignially baritone) and i was better than her

why is it that when tuba players suck, THEY SUCK!!!

[Phnxkon]

Holy god your playing it so slow at least keep it together... and the intonation is ghastly

[fez1452]

actually its written on both parts and can be played by either.
