A Movement for Rosa - Part II

UP Plays Pasquerilla

February 10, 2008

My apologies about the following: slow intro, and any tempo fluctuations. I was incredibly sick during this performance!

Also, sorry for this having to be in two parts, but YouTube wouldn't publish the original as it is just over 12 minutes long. Enjoy

[BandNerdThatMarches]

I played this song at FSU a few months ago. I never quite understood why it ends on such an interesting chord, but it's not my place to question the composition.

[wsnievin]

It ends unresolved to illustrate the idea that racial conflict, despite decades of progress against it, is still among us today.

Hope that helps.

[thedrillmaster16]

Is this the concert band or wind ensemble?

[wsnievin]

This was the IUP Wind Ensemble.

i play tuba, and this is easily the greatest baseline i have ever played.

[seecritagent]

i absolutely love the horns at 1:28, especially the trill at 1:44. it's glorious.

[ComedianMasters2]

I don't think I heard a gong in there.. I played percussion through the Bluefield Highschool Band, favorite song in all my years there

[euphermatt]

@seecritagent its not horns its a euphonium part, i played it last night :-)

[BlueFlashProductions]

It's surprising seeing how many people liked playing this song. The Wind Ensemble at my school hated it. Not so much the calm beginning of the overall piece, but this part. The odd timing and some seemingly sporadic and random moments made it a very odd piece, especially without a percussion section that can keep a beat. And Mark Camphouse said he hated Sedona, which all of us liked playing. I did enjoy playing Tuba in pretty much all this piece, except 0:25 to 1:12.

@penguinpoop4 Not a just reference. this song was composed as a memoir to her

[penguinpoop4]

@wsnievin is "rosa" in reference to be rosa parks?

[COSMICANGEL08]

Played this my senior year in high school During the day of competition I actually teared up playing this I was tuba probably one of my favorite pieces to ever play

[CarolMcClain1]

this piece is stunning--our band is just learning it--and I get to play the bassoon solo!

[CarolMcClain1]

I'm just learning the bassoon part for this--absolutely stunning!

[1234iem]

@pkm321 Me too. I love this song to begin with, and for once the tubas get an entertaining and exciting part. It's absolutely fantastic.

[hornbeast22]

I LOVE the tuba's at 2:15.
