First song played of the new school year in my band.

We got to talking in my ttrpg groups about our middle school music teachers and I had to look this up after like... 20 years. It's been too long. I need to get my viola in working order again. Got peg compound recently to do just that. But, strings are gonna need to take some time.

I FINALLY FOUND ONE WITHOUT SONE GUY YAPPING BETWEEN EACH MOVEMENT OR SOME OLD LADY COUGHING IN THR AUDIENCE

Genius. Never played this one, but can feel and hear "Of Sailors and Whales" throughout.

Played this in high school. french horn. awesome stuff.

No band student should EVER make it through middle school/junior high school without playing this piece.

Some days, you just wanna hear Chant and Jubilo, and relive your junior high school band days.

Percussionist unit here 👇

I play trombone after the 8-9 rest (at the start) we play the best part

One of McBeth’s finest of many superb compositions! The work is so interwoven with the novel in nuance and emotion. I never get tired of hearing or directing it!

10:33 10:30

I play baritone. This song is fire.

Playing the clarinet on this piece! Tonight!!!

4:52

This makes me cry

This piece was written for my High School, Avon Lake High School in Ohio, and Francis McBeth conducted the premiere, and it was incredible. I played Timpani, a very challenging piece. He even rewrote parts of it at rehearsals before the show, and we all had to hand write on his already hand written parts to change it. What a thrill.

Brings back memories being in the band in high school. I started out with the trumpet but the band director suggested that I switch to baritone which is my singing voice.

3:19 measure 70

McBeth is really good at pairing a picture with how he structured his chord clusters, his orchestration is top notch to say the least

1:36 has to be the best part for the trombones and low brass

1:23

The most symphonic band suite I ever had the chance of playing. And we played a LOT of symphony transcriptions at UAM; not every day one gets to play their trombone AND sing in Symphonic Band -- usually had to walk upstairs to do the latter. 😅

such a fire song 🔥

slay queen this is that W

This piece and La Mezquita de Cordoba will definitely go down as some of my favorite pieces I’ve ever played

We’re playing parts of this for our show this year called “sanctuary”

the absolute most chaotic score of time changes I have ever played in symphony. 7/16 straight to a 5/3 ffs. seems like every other line was a different time. Your foot cannot keep time like that it is a muscle memory song, yet the most beautiful piece I ever have been honored to play as first chair all state trombone 30 years ago

1:51 ooh, Abm to Fm... just like the Rebel Fanfare from Star Wars.

My marching band show used excerpts from this masterpiece

Played this at high school band camp. One of my favorite pieces to this day. It kinda feels like your watching an invisible movie in your head while listening

Fam we chillin

Marking sections from my audition excepts 0:41 6:21

I’m playing this for Spring Concert :DDD (Flute 2)

Who is this performing

i dont like the fact that its in c major but its looking fun!! i just got this piece for band and im excited, i play Trombone

Cymbals, triangle, and the brief glockenspiel … Yeah!

Another British folk song gem so beautifully harmonized by the one and only Percy Grainger.

My 7th grade band is playing this. As a trombonist, I love it!

this is so catchy yet so hard. don't understand why it's a grade 2. 200% to me is a grade 3 at least.

I played this song in 9th grade back in 1975. We scored perfect superior marks in district contest. One of my all time favorites. I played 1st clarinet. Not a difficult song, but very fun, powerful and well written

Movement 2: 4:47 Movement 5: 12:19

I'm playing this in high school it's so cool that the baritone part has the melody mostly throughout the piece and the low brass does too and at 10:35 the low brass line is just baritones in my high school we have 3 baritones including me

I played this for the All-Region HS Band 1

My High School Band will playing this piece at Concert Assessment

i play 1st alto so i got the funny woodwind wiggle thingy (2nd has the brass part i think). it hurts right below my left index finger

Got this recently. Super excited to play it as a sophomore on flute 1!!

This is one of the most glorious things my ears have ever heard!

Absolutely Beautiful This Is Love It 🎉❤😊

I uploaded all these. Glad y'all enjoy it!!
