Egyptian Legacy

Egyptian Legacy by Soon Hee Newbold

[@Amethystx87]

its so amusing to look back on pieces like these and see all the comments from middle schoolers....

[@annimiller4680]

Woah

[@toad2047]

middle schoolers?

[@Spdrizzytypesh]

@@toad2047bro I’m playing this in 8th grade 💀

[@GuardianOfMusic27855]

My orchestra is playing this song for Festival this year, and we're dedicating it to the middle school's conductor who is actually Egyptian. And not just of Egyptian descent. He was born in Egypt.

[@amayachristie1279]

Soon He Newbold is great at really showcasing insturments that usually don't get heard like the viola and cello and bass. But them at the same time, brings the violin part to a whole new level. Love this composer!!

[@annimiller4680]

Soon hee newbies very cool 😎

[@cortezmarshall9160]

when they make a movie of the red pyramid this should be on there

[@skithepengi163]

YES

[@mitchell1357]

[@bryanvaldes3608]

O.O that moment when your the only 1st that isn't playing

[@annimiller4680]

o-o

[@mkayultra3485]

I played this song in highschool as a bass player, and 4 years later I come back to it because it was that great!

[@isaactalisman9311]

I don't mind being a violist, it's not like our parts are that bad. Our director tends to choose pieces that highlight violas, which is odd seeing as we have three, one who knows how to play and yet does nothing, and two (me being one of those) who are beginners, so basically we have to put our all into those parts. I suppose it's good encouragement, but there are actually tons of pieces that give violas a highlight, or at least a very similar part to the cellos, which I love having. The only thing that bothers me is when people see my case that is just a little less than twice the size of a violin case and call my instrument a violin.

[@bussinbussybuster]

its good that u have the melody and u r lucky to ahve it as a viola, i one my self love the melody along with others but dont u find it boring just playing quarter notes all the time? and btw u should always put ur all into it :)))

[@isaactalisman9311]

Andy Lam Well I suppose, though a lot of our parts aren't quarter notes. In fact, our last three that we played in concert had viola solos. That, and I'm also used to rhythm otherwise because I play a lot of rhythm guitar and bass, so quarter notes aren't new to me. I do find it hard to read the music in songs like Shepherd's Hey though where literally just about every note is a quarter note and it's hard to keep track of.

[@bussinbussybuster]

Isaac Talisman Nice! Did you do well? I'm sure you did, viola solos are amazing when they are included. When i sai quarter notes i meant like simple music, like quarter notes! :) most of the time we dont get melodies nor solos.

[@isaactalisman9311]

At that point, it's a matter to take to your director. Our director chose parts that highlight us so we do well, and I will say I got way better with just those three songs.

[@bussinbussybuster]

lol nice

[@wemeetyourendyt9950]

Miss playing this song in orchestra so much last year in spring as senior in High school . ;(

why do I feel like I played this in a past concert before?

[@crispynuggets1580]

Betty Oster maybe you did, but there’s a whole lot of pieces that have the same style as this, and they can be mixed up easily if you haven’t heard them for a while :P

just got this piece in full orchestra. amazing. another song i recommend for all of you is folk dances by dmitri shostakovich

[@fenrirgreyback101]

+fiery pheonix I got this song in full orchestra too for all county. I play viola and I love the song. Sadly, the full orchestra kind of ruins it and it sounds much better with only a string orchestra.

lol lol orchestra players have to take the fact that most popular orchestras or symphonies use "band" instruments. I mean band is actually really bad at describing the instruments. Half of "band" instruments are actually orchestral instruments and the other half are jazz instruments

[@deepchakraborty7917]

were doing this piece for out 7/8 grade orchestra and band concert, I dont really think this piece deserves above a 3 let alone a 4.5 (as a band player I feel they should really add band instruments to these music videos, 4:09 is my fav part when the brass usually takes over)

[@StarLovesMiisYT]

Oh my goodness, one of my top favorite pieces of all time… I absolutely LOVED playing it. We were originally gonna perform this in 10th grade, but since the stupid pandemic hit, we didn’t, and that completely broke me… but luckily we got to play it again when I was in 12th grade, and it made me the happiest person alive ^^

still salty i didn't get to perform this at my high school festival. darn you covid :'(

[@yegonpro]

Yeah.. I guess it also makes it somewhat harder to play too because playing melody is much easier than just notes that by themselves make no sense. Forces you to actually listen and play with the other parts instead of just constantly playing forte like so many violin sections do (not all)
