Dambusters' Concert March (arr. Wagner) - LUUMS Concert Band

[@eddihaskell]

Richard Wagner arranged a version of the Dambusters March? Cool!

I played this at a New Horizons Band Camp in 2014 at Olympia Washington - I play Tuba and it was a great experience playing the beginning which sounded like a military squadron

[@earlmcdowell8973]

Never heard this rendition before. LOVE IT!

[@ianmackinlay1894]

Excellent.

[@miscellaneous.7127]

I just had to play along with my trumpet on 16th May 2018.

[@maryjones4957]

Nice job everybody . England salutes you.

[@trevorcorso473]

Maybe because it's an English band?

[@trevorcorso473]

Mary Jones said "England salutes you". You asked "Why?". I was giving you a possible answer.

Loved watching the timpani player. The French horns in this song bring such emotion to it.

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

How about the tympani [correct spelling] and Horns in F [correct terminology]. NOT a 'song'; a march. Sorry to be so picky, but I do get 'aggro' when bloggers display such ineptitude in matters regarding music.

[@hrhjrd]

@@josephcarlbreil5380 Sorry to be so picky when it comes to comments on KZbin, but these remarks aren't part of a college dissertation. They are usually written fast and folks move on. I will give you the incorrect spelling of tympani was a careless mistake, but you can take the "Horns in F" comment and stick it up your arrogant marching ass. For the six years of my life that I played French horns (to much success) they were called French horns. If comments like these give you 'aggro' you need either to get on medication or quit reading them.

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

@@hrhjrd Don't require medication, thank you very much. I am a stickler for correct terminology. Horns in F are stated as such in Walter Piston's book on Orchestration and my composition teacher, Clifton Williams, referred to them accordingly. I'll add more pickiness to your Webster-speak: 'ass' is spelt 'arse' where I come from. No further 'aggro' from me.

[@hrhjrd]

@@josephcarlbreil5380 Obviously we are from two different countries. Get your well used Webster and find out how "prick" is spelled. I laugh at "Horns in F". Is that also a reference to a section in the orchestra or band? I don't recall seeing that written at the top of a piece of sectional music. I don't recall hearing any conductor saying "trumpets need to be louder, saxophones slow down, I want more from the flutes, and Horns in F you are going flat." Maybe we are just from two eras of musicians.

@@hrhjrd Webster's is used in the USA. Collins and others use British spelling. As I live in Australia we use Collins. Webster's is unknown to us.

Different, sounds like the German version. Great ending

[@gracegorman3306]

Why? Because it sounds like the clarinets are crying? Although as marches go, this is a good one, we should absolutely remember the thing was composed for a British war film, glorifying the accomplishments of WW2 British technology which enabled them to bust dams and flood countless German villages, drowning thousands of innocent civilians, just because they were German. They probably hated Hitler even more than the British did, but that's beside the point. :-( For anybody else other than Mark Presland, who might think I am just being snotty, I play clarinet, AND I was born in England just after that war. I shouldn't imagine any Germans would even want to play this march.
