[JGHSuperConductor]

This is actually a college groups, no scores, just for fun. The band was a bit big for such a light piece, but the keyboard players loved it, as with most Grainger, thanks for watching!

wayyyyyy too slow

[mholzner]

The originally arrangement, by Goldman, has a horn solo in the opening. In the Sousa/Brion/Schissel arrangement, it's a euphonium.

[Tykoluver1n]

you could not hear the oboe solo

[handarevil]

not enough consistency in articulation, but it could've been worse.

there may be a euph Que in there, But the first solo was written in the first horn part. I know because i played it. Its actually in the sax parts too.

or we could be talking about a different arragment...

its not a horn its a euphonium :D get it right :P

[adkii07]

beginning to loud could barely hear the horn solo. Now that i think of it... the whole thing is a bit over played... Very well but over played.

[keybawd]

Yes - but isn't this just glorious music? And how wonderful to hear people playing it with such relish. I love Percy Grainger's music - it just creates happiness.

Dynamics?

I think the difference in expression between a P dynamic could have been much more dramatic compared to the F and FF of the piece.

The articulation is a little rusty also. Everything sounds staccato, not very much consistency. The trumpets sound almost like they're blasting. Good trombone section though :)

Percussion is good also I think.

My High School band just sight read this piece so I'm running around looking for good recordings!

We sight read pretty badly...
