The best quality arrangement on youtube =), my only complaint is some of the note bending you used at the end of phrases when its supposed to be decreasing in dynamics, but other then that the guitar fits the song beautifully and goes great with the band. great job =)!

We are playing this song in NYC next week!! I play percussion!!

Great job on the song...the guitar certainly adds even more emotion to an already emotional song...wow....best piece ever written

[xsilvermercuryx]

Thank you very much~~ ^^

O really?? LUCKY~~!!!

I play trumpet~ I actually NEVER played this song in concert band...one of my friend did in her concert band and she keeps on talking about how awesome it was so I decided to check it out and I'm just like...wooow... *hooked* XD LOVED It!! definitely one of the best pieces ever written..personally, I put Reineke alongside Mozart, Beethoven and Bach...seriously...his works are just soooooooo soooo awesome!!!

I love this! My band played it but it's nothing compared to with the guitars.

9:15 to 9:34 is genius!

If your going to complain about the guitar, listen to the real version!

I do believe Steven Reineke was a trumpet player. Thats partly what makes this song so awesome. TRUMPET PLAYAS FTW

I play trombone one in this pice in band. The guitar drowns everything else out, and sounds kind of crappy. It would sound better if it played softer.

I don't like the guitar either.. Rest of it is wonderful!

One of my favorite symphonic songs ever. I played this in high school when I was in Symphonic band (I played flute). In levels of competitive difficulty, this was level A, while we competed in B. Beautiful work on this arrangement, you really did it justice!

I remember playing this song... I was a trumpet player. I've always liked The Witch and the Saint, but this version ROCKS!

chills like i haven't had in such a long time. this song is amazing, but i feel the energy in the guitar and it adds so much. Being a horn player, Reineke is one of my favs.

we played this song in high school.. its a great piece. the only thing i dont like (really dont) is the excessive, overbearing use of the electric guitar. The beginning it was nice, but in the "dun dun dunnn" sinister-ish part the guitar is so overpowering, and later on after that part the guitar totally drowns out the low brass... being LB player myself, i dont like that >:O lol

hmm interestinggg...i dont know if i like it tho....
