Z-BTHS Wind Ensemble- Second Suite in F for Military Band Part I- March

Second Suite in F for Military Band by Gustav Holst

Reflecting his interest in folk song, two years after composing the First Suite in E-Flat, Holst took up his pen and wrote the Second Suite in F, founding it on Hampshire folk songs. Set in four contrasting movements, he deftly applied his trade to a number of songs such as "Swansea Town," "I'll Love My Love," and "The Song of the Blacksmith." In the last movement he created the memorable combination of two folksongs heard simultaneously, the revolving "Dargason" and the classic "Greensleeves." This engaging combination also found its way into the last movement of his "St. Paul's Suite" for strings. The Suite in F recieved its first public performance on June, 22, at Albert Hall for the British Music Society's annual convention.

I am proud to present Z-BTHS's Wind Ensemble playing Part I of The Second Suite in F for Military Band under the direction of Mr. Mark C. Rymer.

You guys tune while you're out there?! Why not in the band room??

[SaraLousie]

@LizyLuxury

Because every room is different in temperture and humidity and can and will change the tones and pitches of each instrument.

[SaraLousie]

Yeah...to both!

@SaraLousie We didn't have a euphonium during this year.

[AngelQueen55]

our band director is really adiment on tuning after every song basically lolz.

[AngelQueen55]

yeah we tried to do the time but our conductor slowed us down wayyyy too much

[AngelQueen55]

we didnt use the euphonium because we don't have one in the band unfrtunatly the person who was supposed to play the euphonium couldnt learn it fast enough so our first trumpet player ended up playing it on his cornet

[associatedwithlosi]

Why is swansea town played by a trumpet, the origional score says euphonium solo.

[LizyLuxury]

Also! Could have been a little faster. It says Allegro and it's in 2/2 time! Use it! ;)

[SaraLousie]
