First Suite in E Flat - Gustav Holst

[@KleinkMusic]

As a fellow saxophonist-turned-musical polyglot, these types of videos scratch a very visceral itch in me. I plan to do something similar with another well-known piece of band literature.

This is absolutely incredible! I'm a high school band director and used this for our music listening assignment this week. The kids loved seeing you play all the different instruments, and especially loved your hair transformation, lol! But seriously, this should have 100k views. You are a true phenom!!! Keep up the great work!

[@samvanderwoude]

Thanks so much!

[@Kasper33]

Yesss another! These are painfully underrated

[@lmarcotte7057]

Mr VanderWoude showed this to us in class this week good job

[@PaulSpencer-hv8nf]

Very well done!

[@getherpetr]

I'm really impressed, this is better in intonation, balance, articulation and expression than a lot of professional recordings!

[@jonathan_sadler]

Finally! The long awaited First Suite!

[@jurgeneichelbaum3015]

The different liturgical colors on your background show that you really spent a considerable amount of time in this project. And, congratulations! Very well played and mixed! Your dynamics are perfect!

[@buzzer193]

Sam, this is a serious display of great musicianship, a very mature concept and to play ALL of the instruments that well, is just a mindblower! Great accomplishment and I wish you well in all of your musical endeavors!

[@samvanderwoude]

Thanks so much!

[@think2023]

Well done! The build to the end was especially satisfying!

[@KevinJCarpenter]

ANOTHER ONE! This is so fun. I'm excited to show some of my band students that really liked second suite this.

Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.

This is incredible. How can someone so young be so proficient with so many different instruments?!? Bravo!

[@vdberg111]

Well done Sam! I like the wild hair and shorn Sams. I thought you had a twin at first! 😁

[@samvanderwoude]

Nope, just 7 months without a haircut!

Covid cut

[@thomasmiddlebrooke1012]

Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed that performance!

[@molman41]

Great job Sam! I think I even guessed Holst to be the next composer. I look forward to the next one!

[@silkysalamander1661]

Oh man I’m so happy there’s finally another one! Bravo 👏 well done keep up the fantastic work.

[@lucashoffses9019]

This is amazing! I wish I had access to that many instruments.

[@NOLJAK101]

This is a good piece and this is a god video with over 40 different parts I rate it 5 stars for a full concert band!. Great work Sam your you be a great band teacher in my book and inspire a lot of musicians with all the instruments you can possibly play as well as your own. I love your style man keep playing your instruments and happy making music!!. 🤩

[@pukalo]

Fantastic work. My community band is playing your Riu Riu Chiu piece and it's really good!

[@samvanderwoude]

Awesome, thanks!

[@orgelspielerkmd]

Your trumpeting has improved ;) That was my first non-keyboard instrument and I hated it! Lol I am still astounded at how you keep it all so well in tune and together. I tried recording basic hymns with clarinet and bassoon just to see if I could figure out how to create something like this and maybe do something a bit more ambitious in future, though it was more than a bit frustrating. Next, after a well-deserved break, you’ll have to tackle Wood’s Manin Veen and use that pipe organ behind you. Is it rather gutsy? I transcribed the entire work for solo organ, since I always enjoyed it so much.

[@padraicfanning7055]

What about “Folk Song Suite” by Vaughan Williams?

[@superior_nobody07]

Ah the mighty sequel, or prequel, or something. Either way sounded great

[@aldenvines5881]

dude what is your main instrument, for real?

[@samvanderwoude]

Alto Sax is my primary instrument.

[@aldenvines5881]

@@samvanderwoude great!
