A Festival Rondo by Richard Meyer - Score & Sound

[@miles-tyler-minecraftandmo3977]

Our orchestra played this song. 650+ people playing it at once each divided into the Very Advanced, Advanced, Intermediate, and Beginner. It was amazing really... Just... Amazing.

[@DragonBat]

I wish I was there

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

Ours was close too with 641, with the performers divided into 14 zones (A-N, I was in E). My school runs large strings performances every 5 years. This was in 2018 for the 15th anniversary, with 7th-11th graders, some teachers and alumni playing. At the end of the performance the principal announced the number of performers, and encouraged that we should keep our instruments for the next performance in 2023.

Us too !! It sounded so amazing ☺️

That was torture to learn😭

[@kanittaconard9171]

Lmao. I can see that, I did 2nd...but our leader for the first violinists can play anything, I betcha he did it no problem

I played first in middle school. I played this.... this was my nightmare 😭😭😭

[@epicfloppa1755]

that's me this year i didn't dislike though

[@svt9924]

omg this is so nostalgic to me, i played this in middle school orchestra like 3 years in a row. we would combine with the high schoolers in this huge concert hall and it was so cool

[@VeznansDeadbeatDad]

Same here. I’m in 10th grade and played this right before 8th grade ended and Covid messed everything up. Good times, I really enjoyed all the songs I played

[@jesuslovesyou20125]

omg same

[@allisonwhelan6052]

Performed this as a middle school first violin, I will always be in awe of our high school firsts. Their part looked impossible.

[@riyaagrawal1982]

trust me they are. I'm playing it in less than two weeks and im in middle school xD

[@JacksonHollo]

Where is it hardest? Time stamp?

Yes, I'm playing middle school first violin.

[@Seenolouis]

You don’t know pressure until the teacher be like “your too good for 2nd violin, here play 1st” and literally there’s only 2 first violins

[@squigglywiggly2943]

Bruh same

[@justageekygamer]

people who say 1st is harder than second are grouping the violins improperly source: all my orchestra teachers

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

I would honestly have to say, this is the piece that hooked me. I played it way back in 7th grade. This was the first piece that I truly fell in love with and was sad to see it go. I hold Richard Meyer as one of, if not the best composer of out time. I blame this piece for making me adore music.

[@ryanlorenzen5285]

My orchestra played this song in middle school, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade groups and I was in 6th grade and to this day I still don’t know how the 8th grade violins were able to play this part.. This is one of the most nostalgic pieces to me and felt so incredible to play

[@chriswoods5220]

Omg im in a concert and I am playing this song

My highschool plays this at Graduation and at the last concert of the year. The alumni (for the last concert) come back and play the HS part. COncert (freshman) plays elementary, symphony (everyone else) plays MS and Chamber (the best people in the school) play HS at graduation (except the Seniors of course)

[@pegsdoesntknow]

I'm so excited to play this because at my school we're going to the highschool and the highschool and another middle school is going to be playing with us. So it's gonna be a fun night with a bunch of different skill levels

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

How was it? My school in HK did it for their 15th anniversary, as strings is our core music curriculum for 7th-9th grade, rare among schools in HK.

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

Performed this in a 640-person orchestra celebrating my high school's 15th anniversary. We had to play strings from 7th to 9th grade as part of the curriculum. We had 9th and 10th grades play the high school parts, 8th and 11th grades play the middle school parts, and finally 7th graders plus some teachers and alumni playing the elementary school parts. Can still remember my position number in the orchestra that day: E-110.

[@Anna-tc1iu]

the high school first violin is so fun once i had it down, but dear lord comparing the parts.

[@patricialoera6218]

Our orchestra teacher made all of her middle school and high school students play this and it was amazing but the lights powers out so we had to play in the dark, some parents had to go up and flash the music so we could play 😭

[@aijosu]

ngl i would love to play this

[@chloechloe3166]

Anyone else been playing this song every year since elementary school and are in high school now ☹️ i can play the advanced part in my sleep I’ve memorized it years ago

[@misasoto9837]

I played this song for woodridge first middle school

[@elitheelff]

Im middle school 2nd violin. I actually really like this song! We are playing it for orchestra soon and hopefully it goes well. A pain to learn tho 😢

[@celiaciel9904]

I’m gonna play this song the 22nd and I’m super excited but scared I’ll mess up with wonderful piece 😂

[@kanittaconard9171]

Celia Ciel How’d you do with it? I’m playing it on Nov 2nd

[@celiaciel9904]

Kanitta Conard actually it was not that bad. The 7th graders really struggled with the elementary school part though

[@watermelonkiwiberryshorts13059]

When I was in 4th grade my orchestra had to play this song

[@alliemoon5570]

As someone who is about to learn to play the entire piece now, wish me luck o-o

[@RustyBust1]

My middle school orchestra did the song last year. 6th graders playing elementary parts, 7th graders playing middle school parts, 8th graders playing high school parts. I as a 6th grader played the Middle School violin 1 part, because I didn't feel it was too hard.

[@Korogunso8]

My band director arranged this for band and orchestra and it made me want to die. I place clarinet and it just felt like playing the violin melodies on an instrument they weren’t meant to be played on. My fingers died.
