UCLA Wind Ensemble - Persichetti - Symphony for Band Mov.2

This footage is from a UCLA Wind Ensemble concert conducted by Dr. Tom Lee back in 1993 in Schoenberg Hall.

This is the second movement (Adagio Sostenuto) of Vincent Persichetti's Symphony Number 6 or Symphony for Band.

I was playing first tuba in this group with Blake Helander on second tuba.

I hope you enjoy it.

I love the solos. :)

I'm a euphonium player and played the euphonium solo when I played this piece. The way it fits together with the trumpet solo is sooo gorgeous.

@Fluteperson01 This is composer's own orchestration of this piece, and it includes the piccolo solo. Are you sure you're thinking of the same piece?

[Fluteperson01]

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece. We just finished playing this at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. This was a blast to work up and perform.
