Arabesque from a 2nd Trombonist's Perspective

Triple Tonguing. Saucy trombone licks. Modal scales. Gee Willickers, Samuel Hazy sure knows how to write a banger band piece. Here is some of the top moments from my rehearsal, including moments I have not yet shown to anyone!! Hope you enjoy!!
Featuring a Wellesley High School Wind Ensemble sight reading session in 2013.
I'm getting copyright strikes on this video as well, so any super chats would be much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Timo

I will never get over how timo and the bass trombonist have not only the exact same slide movement, but the same body movement as well

My school's band is learning this piece atm, it's an amazing piece and you were playing it really well.

Love arabesque! Such an amazing song I forgot how amazing it sounded

[@debradana2216]

"Actually it is a piece"-🤓🤓

[@kaleb-go8bm]

have been obsessed with this song since 7th grade finally got it this last semester of 8th grade at the speed your going at.

[@AGGam1ng]

As a beginning band trombonist that's been playing for 7 months, moving the slide that fast would kill me 💀 edit: it's the moving the lips that fast not the slide, my bad

[@justinkutrybala4298]

You get used to it pretty quickly

[@jadenmundo8672]

@@justinkutrybala4298 yeah I'm also a beginner and got used to moving it that fast

[@viyzek]

I've once spilled the entire bottle of Slide oil. The slides never been faster

[@supermario6387]

My 6th grade self also probably would’ve said that, but now my 9th grade self is handling it pretty well

[@AGGam1ng]

​@@supermario6387 moving my tounge that fast and stuff is hell to me 🥲 but I'm going in advanced and jazz band soon so I might get used to it

[@Dawg-Bone]

Arabesque is a banger. Played it in 10th grade, and loved it since.

Props to my bass trombone brother ✊. That part is sick. Especially near the end.

Tim’s face at the end gets me every time 🤣 great music guys! Gotta love the trombone homies

[@grimer1746]

I got to play Arabesque on bari in my senior year of high school. It’s such a fun piece.

[@robertbrun7494]

This piece is pure fire, I love it. I'd love to see you play it again to see the improvement in your technique etc. since back then -- although I guess it's different playing it on your own rather than with an ensemble.

[@Elloliott]

Bro one of the top bands at my high school is finally playing this and I’m super excited to hear it

[@santiagocancino7763]

I just wanna say,am a huge fan and you have inspire me, you're funny videos and you playing Trombone is amazing.

[@nitasu987]

This is one of my favorite pieces ever!!! Never got to play it when I was in band but I just adore the sound.

[@orsnge]

This has got to be one of the best pieces I've ever heard

[@logandurham2979]

This is amazing! As a 2nd Trombone, I wanna play that myself! That is so cool!

[@Avionicx]

Oh this was so much fun to play on tuba. Me and my buddy blasted this lol.

[@mistyyblue2096]

Obsessed with this video rn 🙏🙏

[@JeremyJones-lx6pc]

Can't wait to play this when I'm in high school / collage!

[@sciathoir]

I’ll be honest, I know nothing about band, my fiancé was the band kid 😂 but your videos popped up in my recommended and I’ve been watching them as they come up, always fun and interesting so thank you ✌️

[@alyl3647]

My schools wind ensemble learned this last year and the trombones were obsessed :)

[@Ciphoon]

damnnn that transition to bass part in 35 is so clean

[@ColonialForbin]

Didn’t even realize you were on second, now I get a free recording to play along with

[@Ajbergen1]

I remember getting so upset when our high school band first got this piece, now im really glad we got it, definitely one of the more fun challenges learning this one :) Trumpets represent!! 😅

[@alexthelion335]

Ahh, it feels like yesterday I was playing that bass bone part, god that was fun.

[@ieattoomanyclementines2372]

This sounds like a fun piece

[@bassguitarplayer09]

Great vibes

Very clean!!!

[@yourlilbrudder5766]

The score for it just got recommended to me twice and now you’re playing it?!

From a fellow trombone this was amazing

[@user-yq3in2ov4c]

Wow... Just wow

[@pxlz0729]

I wish my school could learn this. Maybe some day, we’re going to play Variations on a Korean Folk Song next year

[@darren_1982]

That bass trombone in the back 😫

[@gideonadug3916]

Im in my middle schools varsity band and we almost played this last year but we didnt have enough time before the spring concert 😥

[@Snake.Cubing12]

0:47 was crazy brooo

[@iwinha8495]

I'm a tenor sax player, and I love how you can hear a tenor sax playing as we have the same part in all of these clips except for the 3rd time playing through the saucy lick and that one 6/4 measure is utter trash and can go in the corner where it belongs. I commented this on a different video, but my HS "played" this piece via Smartmusic when everyone was controlled by the dominant force that was COVID-19. Something that always confused me when seeing the score is I think the tenor sax was the only instrument that went UP at the end of the four-measure lick idea (listen carefully to the recording and you can hear the guy playing a slightly different part) - it's not a range thing (there was a different song with an optional low A that is physically impossible to play but that's a story for another day) so I wonder why it is written like that. Thanks for reading my essay, have a great day fellow KZbin watcher

[@Its_Leauxsacks_Music]

Horns go up too

[@antoniosabol2884]

We're playing the same piece too here in Croatia

[@kaleb.7543]

We played this for our wind ensemble concert.

[@andrewhanscom4592]

As an all-state player who just performed this yesterday, I can confirm that my phone is spying on me.

[@flippy6553]

We did ride on our last concert. Hazo has some cool low brass parts

[@DartzYT2870]

sight reading is crazy

[@crazydinodude]

Ive never played that but i really really want to lol

[@Adamthecoolguy123]

How in the everlasting fuck do you have such a magnificent air compacity? I get to the constant notes, and I have a miniature heart attack and a schizophrenic meltdown and then go back again

[@Sheepish16]

sam hazo? he conducted one of my bands at marywood for a bit, he's awesome, i got to shake his hand and i havent washed it since

[@harryrthanu]

Im a freshman and the lick on the bass trombone part is deadly

[@Y.C.D.M4321]

This Fr wanna make me throw it back 💀

[@duzmire2832]

Might try to incorporate this into my jazz solo a bit, all the notes fall into the right key for the piece sooooo

Why did this come up after my concert was yesterday

[@c6nn0r68]

bro played all the songs and got the golden mouthpeice skin

[@mrmuffin5353]

Brooo, our band director gave us Arabesque to learn in a week, and if we didn't play it good by the end of the week, he'd put a low score in our grades. Luckily, we all got 100s lol

[@Evgacha11-er7zr]

Can you do a video on how to correct your parcials? (idk how to spell it)

2nd to last time was just too clean

I can confirm that my chops and tonging were dead after this

[@DrDarkMatter]

You should've reviewed the 3rd and 1st trombones on Arabesque.

[@FSW02]

Can you get a clip of the entire band playing this

[@insertchannelnamehere632]

My school is learning this song rn, I love it but I'm stuck with the 2nd worst percussion part, so I don't love playing it

[@swimmer_boyyyy]

i was supposed to play this for 8th grade this year but is on back order :(

[@A_Shires_Bass_Trombome]

I play the bass trombone and I want to ask my band director if we could play Arabesque for concert assessment

[@eliza9505]

0:47 the repeating melody in the trombone I really like. Do you happen to know what music piece it is and who arranged or wrote the music?

I dont think it's that bad but ok

[@cha-sayklein5458]

Ok the actual riff part wasn’t pushing. Maybe the beginning

[@shmapplegaming6694]

Are you using chops or tongueing for the lick? I want to learn this but don't know what to decide. I am a beginner trombonist and want to learn more.

[@bladely777]

Do Barnum and Baileys Favorite but faster and louder each time

[@Metal-Possum]

Trombonist's perspective? Last time I played a trombone, I wasn't look at myself...

[@AriannaCunningham]

Oh, you play 2nd Trombone? Also, I was expecting it to be Debussy's Arabesque. Nice playing though.

[@masoncrawford9386]

Question, do you think eighth grade all state honor band would play this? I made it, maybe we will play this.

[@quelahnrandall8194]

First time heading I thought this was some insane over the top impossible to play lick and in reality it’s pretty moderate and most could play with practice

Quick Question: Are you in Collaged or in a Uninvested? If so, with one do you go to?

Never gotten to play this but I always feel bad for the bass bone, having to toungue all the way down there plus he’s gotta be out of breath after like the 2nd or 3rd one
