A Movement for Rosa

[@MrPretzel96]

I'm lucky enough to have Mark Camphouse as a composition teacher. When I mentioned I was playing first horn on this piece, he told me the story of when he actually got to sit next to Rosa Parks at a performance of this piece. Before the band started playing, he suddenly became intensely nervous. What if she didn't like the piece? What if he would offend her by the piece's dissonance? But he looked at her a few minutes into the piece and tears were streaming down her face. Simply beautiful!

7:53 That horn part.. Gets me every time lol

[@annapoitevint9677]

one of the few pieces that utilizes the entire french horn section to maximum capability, especially 3rd and 4th horn. I played 3rd horn for this in high school and the 1st and 2nd chairs lobbied for days because they wanted the 3rd and 4th horn parts.

[@cyborgjonny]

Anna Parker if only my band had more than one French horn player

[@NightLightBabe23]

7:28 will always be my favorite and the part were they all united was just amazing

[@trainzrok]

7:28 leading into the part at 7:42(Measure 158) is my favorite part too

We played this piece for district band festival my first year in our high school’s wind ensemble-I was a sophomore in the flute section, a younger kid in an ensemble of mostly juniors and seniors, and had the privilege to play the first flute part. I remember the day the horns and euphs worked through the rip with the trill in class (edit: beginning at 7:54) and realizing how special a piece this is and how fortunate and excited i was to perform it on stage. I’m about to turn 22 and even as I sadly move further away from the time in my life where my involvement with band was how I defined myself, this piece speaks me in ways I still can’t fully grasp or put into words. I’m sitting here trying not to cry; in fact I can rarely listen to this piece in its entirety because every time it makes me emotional and makes me wish I could go back in time to not only being able to listen to it, but also feel and savor every beat and every note of it in the ensemble around me. I have to skip it a lot when it comes on my song rotation to avoid becoming a mess lol. Anyway I never thought I would write one of these long-winded, therapy-session, borderline pretentious comments I see on these videos all the time, but I had to get this one off my chest. Current band kids-be thankful for every second you have while you have it. 💕

We played this my senior year in our symphonic band. We won every competition that year with this on the docket. I remember breaking down into tears every time we'd play it as a whole.

[@ExodusRL]

1:50 low brass line gives me chills every time. Love this song

[@escapist11]

I was fortunate enough to play this piece in high school. It was one of the ones that made my band the TMEA 3A Honor Band for 2004 and we got to play our very own concert at TMEA in 2005. I played timpani (woot woot!) and to this day is still one of my favorite songs that I have ever played.

[@shay.illustration]

My school wind ensemble is playing this right now, I'm 1st bassoon and I'm so in love with the solo at the beginning

[@technoguy6000]

This piece gives me chills every time I hear it.

[@tundeclipse]

I got to play it in my highschool wind ensemble, first and only song I have been a part of that has actually made audience members cry. Very touching and powerful song.

[@jeremydemario5387]

I’m playing this piece in my high school symphonic band and I’m absolutely in love with this piece

[@stephenspeck4912]

I played this piece in '97 with the Alaska All State Band. We learned it in 3 days and almost sounded as good as this version. Sadly, someone stole the book of CDs I had with this in it. 10:07 is probably the most powerful moment in any piece I've ever played. Fills my heart with nostalgia, but the good kind.

[@greezychunks247]

Performed this Junior year of high school on bass clarinet, by far 1 of my top 3 favorite songs! Just beautiful!!!

[@TwinMonsters1314]

my highschool Wind Ensemble is learning this right now. It's such a beautiful song.

[@Hector95100]

this ensemble is fantastic

[@bandstud90]

He conducted this piece at a concert for my school, and he told us the same story. I loved it even more after that!

[@mikaylagolka6929]

were playing in this in my high school band, I'm first bassoon and the solos in this piece are just amazing. were yet to go to regionals with it. (:

[@connorf7802]

Mikayla Golka 2nd bassoon here : ( no solos for me but my partner kills them

[@tjscuroko2701]

I never knew how awesome my band mates played till I saw this for the first time today. The talent was insane and I'm so proud I was a part of it.

[@Troumbadour]

this is absolutely beautiful. my high school wind ensemble is playing this at dallas soon. This recording is a beautiful demonstration of what this piece can be. And those horn players... oh myyyyy...

[@1whoDoesSimply]

7:36 on gives me goosebumps. A true masterpiece.

[@wreynabrumfield5570]

I remember playing this in high school... I was apart of the beautiful horn section 😭😍

[@TheHolyGuile]

This piece is an inspiration to songs I write for my Death Metal band. That's how good this song is.

[@MisterWolfy1]

I'm playing this with a group called CYWE (Cincinnati Youth Wind Ensemble) I absolutely LOVE this PIECE! Goodness I get chills!

[@MrPretzel96]

I'm lucky enough to be playing this piece as principal horn AND to take lessons from Professor Camphouse himself. I'm pretty much set for life

[@SamHackenson]

I enjoy this song because its the first time I actually get to play above a second ledger line C in a sit-down performance. I work so hard on my high notes and finally get to show them off.

[@VSnipesV]

absolutely beautiful! playing this with the Clarence Wind Ensemble at the Mid-West Clinic this year!

[@cavalierfan2008]

This is my all time favorite piece... its underplayed (in my opinion)... I have never been able to play it... I still believe that some day I will get my chance to play it... if not conduct it. :)

[@fishiest3539]

My tiny little band is playing this and I have the flute solo at the beginning... seriously in awe right now

[@kanimusic2]

I was fortunate enough to play this with my high school band. 2nd trombone

[@editor232]

Best interpretation I've ever heard of this piece.

[@Montopher]

Amazing song.

[@jironk89]

Played this song in high school 🫶🏽

[@dragonhawk83]

I play the timpani in this. Oh the memories! I miss these days!

[@CDtrumpet5]

This group sounds absolutely professional. I use this as a base for my own playing (lead trumpet, but I can't have the stereotype ego after listening to this lol) I only hope to be good enough to replicate the sounds these guys have.

[@TheBeanbagsatfsu]

Hey Chris, we played this piece for the majority of two years before we performed it. I was the principle trumpet in this ensemble and we certainly had depth through the whole section. But we worked for it for a long time to get it like that. I still get teary when I listen to this even 12 years later. Thanks for the kind words

[@newdem08]

the ending of this piece is still apropos in today's time...

[@a1cwingo]

thanks. Nick miller, michael infantino, myself (jeremiah WIngo)and about 6 others, names mention as well as clair and ashley on leads.

[@thesexysaxman]

and soon to be performed by plainfield central high school wind ensamble this tuesday!

[@zachwilson6304]

1st horn, freshman year. Over 1000 hours of practice just to nail that solo. Concert time: Epic horn solo.

[@Jackal19x]

I'm playing the Contrabass Clarinet part to this; EPIC

[@panc4ke]

I have found you... Daniel

[@TomGao97]

nice trumpets :P

[@MrPretzel96]

No, I'm a high school student but he heard a few of my pieces and took me as a student. It is a great program though, I'm sure you'll love it and do well

[@crystallyn84]

Katie4657 - I was wondering if you happen to have any other performances recorded? This has to have been one of the best performances we ever had! Amazing Director, Jon Sever!!

[@SimoneKramer87]

Great!

[@macyturner7263]

a few days ago a kid accidentally called this piece the rosa parks theme song so now we all call it the rosa parks theme song

[@cyborgjonny]

Macy Turner it is though lol

[@macyturner7263]

5:18 is so badass

[@BenPapsun]

This is an absolutely gorgeous performance. Is there any way that I can download it?

[@mr.klunee4103]

lol 4 years later but you can use websites like convertinmp4.com to download youtube videos

[@capareiros]

Watch please Movement for Rosa performed by Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa. Hope you like it.
