Fantasia on a Theme from Thailand

[@mysteriousmusic4662]

[@wish2fly4me]

Beautiful. This was in a spring concert in 2010, and I am playing it today in my spring orchestra concert (2013)...we sound nothing like this, our tempo is too slow, and the parts from the different string sections aren't together. I wanted to see how it was really supposed to sound....this is just amazing!

[@sophistikitten6347]

Well... we were _supposed_ to play this at our concert...

[@ytjayduncan7290]

what happen

[@isaactalisman9311]

I love to play 77-95 pizzicato in my free time, like if I finish my work in any given class, pull out my viola and just play that part. It's odd though when you get glares because you're playing music during a test.

[@sophiecarlberg]

Amen to that. My History class bugs me to play if there's any time left, so I played the first part for first violin to this song. I love orchestra.

Richard Meyer is the music teacher at my middle school and i was extremely lucky to play this piece under his direction :)

[@kyndavibin9065]

we played this song freshman and sophomore year of high school and it remains one of my favorite pieces :) so much fun to play

[@helenas4880]

The memories this song brings back to me.... so so bittersweet tbh I miss the group I played this with in a way. Like honestly wish we coulda worked through it all but damn I am still thankful for the memories and our one opportunity to play. Anyways if any of you happen to see this, thanks for making my junior year memorable.

[@ChrisINRL]

I played this song for Solo&Ensemble, not half bad I wish I could go back and play this again, it would be worth spending my Saturday morning just playing this song!

[@MakeaWish17]

My orchastra played this and Allergro to be judged. All three judges gave us 1's, which is superior and the best you can get:)! Violas for life ~~~

We played a simplified version of this in sixth grade orchestra, and I still take my old copy out and play it sometimes. It's beautiful and I hope we play the full version someday.

I heard this piece by a middle school orchestra at the Michigan Music Confrence. Right before my high school went on to perform..and they did amazing performing this

[@SyDevil98]

My eighth grade orchestra is playing this for performance evaluation. It is by far my favorite out of our selection. I'm a cellist btw.

[@mblove22]

violas RULE I wonder why they don't get credit its just the violins and cellos and basses that get credit and when i was choosing which instrument to pick i saw viola and i was like what is that well it sounds interesting i'll take it!!!!

Ive finally found it. After all these years. A viola in this comment section :D I play viola too

Learning to play this currently on my violin really excited! For 8th grade

[@StarlightEdith]

I watched Philharmonia (our advanced orchestra) play this for festival back when I was in String Orchestra (beginner) and I was just like "Oh I think it's over......... Oh wait there's more.................... Okay now it's over........ Oh wait nope........ Now it's over......Nope." I absolutely love this song. It actually inspired me to write my own song. I wrote it on piano and violin originally (I play both) but then wrote an orchestral version for fun. It's a good thing I could just copy and paste the viola part, I can't read squat in the Alto clef. Anyway, I really hope that Mrs. Blinn decides to have Philharmonia play this song again this year, I really want to play it. It sounds like so much fun! =) Have a nice day!

[@jasonconyers9958]

Same. I'm playing it now too, so I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when they realize we aren't done yet

There are two other pieces we may play but chances are that we're only going to play three witch mean's we have to cut one, however we don't know which one yet since school just started about two and a half weeks ago. I'm really looking forward to it though. Good luck at your concert. :)

im in seventh grade when learning this... not as hard as I thought, though still very difficult.

[@mangomiaaa]

Lol no it's fine, I understand!! Love Jimin. And yes I got ton of jams! Lolz anyway I'm a violinist, this is my second year playing so I'm pretty much a noob. Anyway I'm also glad a met another army as well! I don't meet much kpop people.

[@mangomiaaa]

Lol, kookie will never be jamless. *Kookie please stay away from Jimin at all coasts!* Lol. Well bts is my second bias group. Exo is my first. But I love them both equally. Exo was my first kpop group. Exo practically got me into kpop, that's why they're my bias group. Wow. I only play violin. That seems kinda difficult to play all 3. I mean viola and cello have the same strings and notes so I would figure that would be easier, but adding a violin is odd. You have to learn a whole new string. But I guess if you've played for awhile you would get more experience. And yes, this is my 2nd year playing violin.

[@mangomiaaa]

*costs* not coasts*

[@mangomiaaa]

Dang. I've always wanted to be like that. To play different instruments, but I can't exactly afford it. I became a kpop fan last year in November. (November 20, 2015) was when I became an exol and a kpop lover. Once I became a kpop fan I realized that I've missed so much my entire life. I'm still new, I haven't even been a fan for a full year yet😂. I plan to be a fan forever, lol. Though I love tons of k-pop groups. Lol jungkook and Jimin. They will share jams.

[@mangomiaaa]

I will try. Yeah, jungkook... already started ruining my life, as well as my mother's, (I got her into kpop) he's just so... ughhhhhh! And yes I have also experienced the female looking male idols like Ren from nu'est. Nu'est is actually one of my favorites. Luhan is just to darn adorable well I'm hear sitting in a corner wondering how he does it. I don't ever feel confident. And Gucci... well I never really thought about it. Lol, jungkook will have to fight for his life in order to protect his jams. Jimin will fight to the death, trying to get kookie's jams.
