Playing this now as a freshman in highschool, french horns are where it's at!😅 Great piece.

Played this for my very first high school concert in 9th grade and when I first looked at it, I thought I'd never get through it. Looking back as a junior though, it was one of the best pieces we played!

We're about to march a version of this piece and it's very exciting for me because it seems like this will be the first year our school doesn't suck in marching band

I'm playing This song in my band class

We did it in Rockway Jr. High for Dade County Band Festival (1971) with a symphonic band of 8th & 9th graders. We also did Marriage of Figaro! Our conductor, Chuck Foster, had some brass ones, no pun intended, LOL. May he rest in peace.

I love this piece! I remember how powerful it was when we played it in middle school.

I played this as a freshman west orange high and we had our spring concert recently and the freshman band played this piece and it gave me chills just hearing some of the major chords and the drums as well. Love this piece good job ucf

Back in 1976, as a 10th grade student a Coral Springs High School, we performed this song at district and state contest, receiving a superior rating. What makes me proud of that accomplishment, even today, was that the band was only comprised of 9th and 10th grade students, 34 members in all including percussion. I must say, after listening to UCF, our performance was more dynamic and precise. I really enjoyed hearing it again though.

there's a bass part and a tom part, they doubled.

The percussion section, mainly the snare drum, is ENTIRELY too loud in the section before the allegro.

I played this my 8th great year for spring festival with our advance band in a joint concert with my high school's symphonic band. This was one of the pieces that helped me decide to become a music major. 9 years later and I am a couple of months away from graduating with a BA in Music Education! Thank you for bringing back a great memory!!

Thank you for posting this!!

I'm one of those trumpets to the left! :) love this piece, it was so much fun to play.

We're doing this song for Concert Festival and I hope we turn out as well as you did! This is great!

I remember playing this song in a region band back in 2004. I played the Bari solo. This was also the year my grandmother passed away, it was an amazing piece to play. This is amazing to see and listen to again. I need to find my cd of it

i love this song. Its one of my most played on my ipod :)

I remember playing this my Sophmore year of high school back in 97. I Playied the Alto sax, but we needed a Bari player that year. I said i would play it and we played this song. One of my Favorites of all time. Thank you for posting this brings back really good memories.

I only came to this video for the bagipe style sax part with the bass drums in the back

Xoxo look for Nina Perlove she just made a video on this technique.

Well done, but more low brass/woodwinds would have been awesome. The beauty of this piece is that there are several key points for the lower instruments, that typically don't have those type parts.

I'm playing this now! And I'm in 8th grade! :D

How do you flutter tongue? I've been trying to figure it out, but i just can't get it. Do i HAVE to be able to roll my "r"'s? Because i cant...

The A.N. Myer band is playing this. Nice peice, Fun (-_-) to play. ah well, Practice makes perfect!

I played this in middle school ^.^ love it!!

Wow the flutes and the other woodwinds did the really hard part really wellO.o Nice!

@laura2439 i didnt notice that 8 months ago..

Respond to this video... PLUS it sounded way more awesome with 5 people instead of one

@Renendan because there was literally a 1st and 2nd part for it. If you notice the guy in the middle is playing a slightly different part.

@germanmusician This is a college band.. university of central florida.. lol. We played our concert at a high school.

@ShinariMetroidFan Yeah, hard for a sophomore in high school playing as first chair trumpet too.

This is such a beautiful song. I love it.

@TheKrazyTanker ur a bitch for that man...

at last! a song with NO dislikes!!!!!

@germanmusician This is UCF at Timber Creek, not Timber Creek playing.

@ilysunfire lol its on the title

Why are there 5 people on what looks like to be tom toms? You only need one

@oboist11 niiice, I learned how in december on christmas day and play in 2nd best band in my school and have a really good time playing this X3

@oboist11 I know right XD how long have you been playing oboe?

@oboist11 Yea I was like lol I think oboes play there XD its like an insult kinda XDDDD and that high note at 1:30 was a bit out of tune?

we had a senior in our school who also played bari sax got killed on his way home from a football game for marching band. we are playing this in memory of him. its so hard to play when you see his face in your mind, and to listen to the bari part and know that he should be playing that. adam, i miss you bud. see you soon. R.I.P. adam david nevells

My band class is trying to play this for our spring concert :3 We worked on the singing for the first time today and it was funny XD I play the oboe part in this with 2 flutes and we like out part <3

They sound great. My favorite part is at the allegro.

@laxman9410 well our percussion isn't gonna play it as written we took out a couple of the flams and did some other stuff to it but it still sounds good with altercations but always better when origional.

McBeth

How long have you been playing?

BASS CLARINETS! :D

andrew boysen must have a soft side for french horn players. because of all the horn solos he puts into his songs, but they are so beautiful.

Mr/ Garasi is an amazing conductor. I will never forget him. I played this today too for an All county band here in florida. I love this piece.

New Jersey? We beat you in marching band last year :P
