this needs to go wayy faster. the basses need to get the notes right.

just experience

I played this peice in the high school orchestra at Carnegie Hall when I was in 5th grade. The tempo needs to be faster. enough said.

Eww! Torture to the ears!

[jamyupsuhsuh]

that clarinet solo at 2:04 is supposed to be for the oboe no?

[frankcannn]

Young people tend to play a slower tempo. But this is pretty good guys. The sound is nice. Hope you had fun in London. That's most important.

[LoveFrenchhorn]

this is soooooo slow...also you can tell it should be played faster because the strings are going so much faster than the director on the main melody parts. The conductor obviously thinks that his interpretation is more important than coplands original tempo.

you know what everybody who dissed us? We were good for the amount of our experience. I had fun in London. yeah it wasn't perfect, but you know what we did it for fun and the audience loved it!

[pianoviolinplayer]

look, im playing this in my youth orchestra..... it is a very difficult piece. and i dont think that taking it slower afects how well they did. the notes were almost perfect. the conductor of this orchestra is my middle school conductor. i know he was very proud of them considering that this is an adult orchestra piece and they were very brave to take it all the way to london to perform.

What the fuck is this? hahaha pathetic

[JubalCalif]

Are they playing is slow motion ???

[crazycellolady]

I'm currently playing this song in sinfonia, and I'm a middle school. yes, the conductor also conducts at one of the middle schools. The conductor has taken his orchestras to many festivals and we have won high rankings. Those who complain about the slow tempo, no matter how the music is played, South musicians try their best and we should be proud that they did. It's not like at last minute the conductor can change the tempo and have the whole orchestra screw up.
