Copland: Suite from Billy The Kid | MSU Symphony Orchestra

[@jeffreymccray2856]

WOW, I wish the MSU Symphony had sounded like this when I was in school there.

[@roblewis3565]

My favorite Copeland. Brilliant piece.

In the final minutes, check out the two percussion players standing at left. Watch beginning at 21:26 as they prepare for their big moments that begin at 21:48. With intense concentration, the bass drum player repeatedly tests his beater before the strikes the drum for the first time. And the cymbal player manages to throw his whole body into his performance bringing those cymbals together with the grace of a Simone Biles.

great music, great playing

[@h92o]

I was "Billy the Kid" or just Billy before I changed my name from Billy to Bill when I became 21 years old.. I listened to a performance of this as Billy and enjoyed it I don't enjoy music like this as much anymore.. maybe because I make my own music,. or none of the new things created as well as this reach me,..

Oboist sounds better than most recordings of this out there! Nice work

[@rudyahumada5723]

The 6:07 mark always gets me. Always.

[@gustipson7557]

lol, the conductor at 16:25 cuing the tuba in

[@natfletch05]

I can relate to this heavily because believe it or not I had the exact same conductor (Kevin Noe) for Missouri All State Orchestra 2023 and Im a tuba player lol.

[@animaux7842]

At 14:12 watch the mute go in tuba...

[@Schell77]

Interesting, what's with the divided double bass section split on either side of the stage?

[@Kyle-ur4mr]

We had so many they wouldn’t fit on one side
