Crown of Thorns by David Maslanka

[@austinkpmusic]

Honestly I really find it disrespectful that there is an ad in the middle of this beautiful piece of music.

[@gognaclump2075]

One of the most beautiful pieces in existence. This should definitely be considered a masterpiece of the percussion world.

[@zakf6104]

I think it is!

[@TomFordPercussion]

It definitely is!

[@KepiaGarten]

We want to thank you for this performance - sublime piece of art. And at its best: the more you hear, the more you have to think, and the more you are able to think, the more you hear.

AN AD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VIDEO. NICE

[@Poempedoempoex]

NICE

[@MrAugx]

Fantastic performance. But so expensive... the number of marimba ones...

[@rickclineNC]

we did this at UNCG in 95, good memories... so beautifully done Lance.

[@robertoesquivel4447]

Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice! ❤️

[@atheistcable]

"Jesus"? "Sacrifice"? What's this all about?

[@t.trentdang1343]

atheistcable just google crown of thorns and read the first entry

[@jjynja6084]

We are rehearsing this right now and lemme say, what a piece to kick off my freshman year at high school!

[@xCentauri]

from the words of John Mapes himself to his Chino Hills HS drumline, no one cares if you're a freshman, if you're good, you're good.

[@jackclancy6950]

Jjynja I played this last year as a freshman too! What part did you play?

[@jjynja6084]

Jack Clancy I think the marimba four part? I just remember it had a lot of 32nd note ninelet runs

[@nosacrality1865]

Did the same about 2 years ago. I had vibe one, and we practiced it together about 3 times... never worked out in the end

[@TheFrasierCranes]

The greatest percussion ensemble ever.

[@trwil0]

This is beautifully done! I am touched.

[@ILZELUKJANOVA]

Aizver acis un ieklausies. Cik skaņa ir apbrīnojama! Paldies par iespēju klausīties!

[@taniasviridova1424]

Paldies, это прекрасно! Релакс...

[@m.rahman6476]

[@ILZELUKJANOVA]

M. RAHMAN true...,thanks..

[@SKPalma]

Beautiful music!!! Thank you for recording it and sharing it. What a moving performance.

[@SophiaKalo]

this is beautiful (:

[@soludsnak]

Thanks for this. This is the best recording of this I've heard. I heard the UMN percussion ensemble play this in 2010 and have loved it ever since.

[@jacobmorgan1438]

Ah yes, just let me casually pull out my 5 rosewood 5-octaves.

[@joshual5487]

Didn't realize the ad in the middle of this piece was still a thing

[@TiticatFollies]

Lovely lovely.

[@blueembedded5047]

4:04 time stamp for myself!! my high school’s ensemble is performing this in a month, wish me luck :]

[@dawsonp007]

[@nanetteking7865]

I wish there was a LOVE option for this.

[@ReadySetBret]

There are 5 different marimba parts, 2 vibes parts and one bells part

[@robertbelleville7812]

En tant que mélomane j aimerais voir cety ensemble venir jouer au groupe Maurice le22 lrsque cela sera possible.

[@endlessdragon143]

why did my airpods have to die so soon

[@robertbelleville7812]

Je ne puis m exprimer en anglais mais je sais lire . jevous félicit our ces compositions. Vous pouvez voir plus de 80 poèmes que j ai écris sur le site sivant " jeanpauleugène e-mon site.c0m" .Merci.

[@TylerDunphy]

Take the ads out.

[@nosacrality1865]

Skip to the end and press the restart button. That should do the trick

[@jacobbass6226]

I’m not a big fan of percussion ensembles being conducted. I’m if the opinion that unless the group is 16+ it doesn’t need to be conducted and should be considered chamber music.

[@jackclancy6950]

Jacob Bass I think piece is an exception, lots of moving parts and man is this piece incredibly hard to play, I played it last year and I believe this one does require one, bust for the most part most dont

[@jjynja6084]

This piece is really difficult and has lots of little details in terms of stretching time. Lots of fermatas and times where musical pauses feel necessary. It’d be a nightmare to play without a conductor

[@jacobbass6437]

@@jjynja6084. Chamber ensembles can easily perform fermatas and rubato without a conductor. Musicians can conduct within the ensemble. Wind instruments can conduct with their horns, strings with their scroll, and percussionist with their mallets.

[@mojoesweddin]

Agreed. I played this at high school age with no conductor. It's still my favorite piece I've ever played.
