The viola part is so much fun to play.

[@Vanessa-pp6dg]

It's really important too! I tried to play it with all the parts except and we fell apart!

[@darialappi5762]

This is so fun to play even though I'm only a Sophmore! It's so hard but totally worth it!

[@laurenstovall7770]

I'm playing this as a seventh-grade second violin in my school orchestra, this song drives me crazy! It's one of my favorites, but those chords drive me nuts!

[@thatdude8945]

Daria Lappi my orchestra sight read this in 7th grade it was great

[@musicstuff698]

Daria Lappi Yesss. I’m playing in my youth orchestra, my highschool played it last year but I wasn’t there to experience it because I’m a freshman this year. I have an ensemble of 8 people that I might want to play it, its a lot of fun

[@H0ldUp]

Lol, the first two commets makes me feel depressed. The orchestra I'm in probably can't play this piece and we are in high school but we aren't one of the rich city's so it makes some sense why. One of the greatest thing about the orchestra I'm in is the fact that we dont have any violas🙃

[@yesyesyes666]

I played this as a freshman

[@energymachine294]

yes - he's done such a fantastic job that his job is rendered almost unnecessary. no need to over-conduct a tiny ensemble like this. - shows that he has complete confidence in the musicians to find their own stride, with only a little gentle directing from himself. - a man who knows his place in the ensemble.

[@1234shhh]

I played this piece on bass! I love it so much, and the little solo we have with the concert master at the end right there. :)

[@trojan9168]

omg so right! I also played this! IT was heartwarming! DO we know each other??!!

[@jesmarkmikesell1957]

I watched chamber orchestras performing this amazing piece without a bass, and with my conclusion, this proves that bass is the pure definition of being the foundation of music.

[@dylancifuentes9483]

Armchair_Warriror Right, a lot of people, mostly the ones that are not in a Orchestra think that Double Basses and Violas are useless, but you can really hear the difference.

Yeah while I tease my viola and bass friends, I still really appreciate a lot of their parts and know that it would sound wrong without them

This conductor looks like the kind that make those long rehearsals a lot better

[@amandamoores7034]

The dynamics and articulation are great. The balance is perfect!

[@laurenstovall7770]

My middle school orchestra is playing this, and we're almost up to speed on it! We aren't as good as these guys but we're doing pretty good for seventh graders xD

[@christopherqu7383]

Hey me too I’m in 6th grade and we’re just trying the dargason it’s hard tho

[@oliviakwiecinski243]

The dynamics, articulation and tone are fantastic. And the conductor is hilarious. What more could you ask for?

[@minjylee3728]

omg, I literally played this piece in year 6 as a first violin. it’s still one of my favourite pieces till this day, it’s so fun and cool!!! I definitely recommend playing this piece, it is absolutely awesome and perfect!!! also great playing!!!! I always come here every month to watch this performance and decided to make a comment today :D

[@82luft49]

Your comment is well taken

[@clivedavies5618]

l agree entirely with James Lochard, Only long rehearsal could have led to this polished and seemingly effortless performance and the conductor's enthusiasm and love for the piece became increasingly obvious towards the finale.

[@maliakobe5341]

Tell that to our orchestra.

[@clivedavies5618]

TheViolinGal l love this piece and my compliments to you and your orchestra if superb performances come relatively effortlessly - even better!! With Best Wishes, Clive D

[@user-tq9vs6fc9u]

It flows very well from section to section. Also I like how great they sound when they are in 2 diff time signatures.

[@hdirtwater]

The tempo of this movement has to be based on the Greensleeves melody and not how fast the orchestra can play the ostinato. This performance has it just right!

[@trojan9168]

absolutely heartwrenching!!! Too my soul away!!

[@andrewglennon9760]

LOVE THIS SONG. Reminds me of roving over the rolling hills of Ireland. ☘️

[@FinallyThere1]

Their articulation made the melody a lot clearer than how we played it. Even in the spots with a weird time signature they were able to stay together

[@homayounkhosravi]

definitely an outstanding performance .

[@82luft49]

Magnificent. All these somewhat negative comments about the conductor is really unfounded. Consider him the Coach of a team, In this case the "team" being this musical ensemble. How Many countless hours did he spend with these talented musicians (during rehearsals) bringing forth the best performance from each and every player before they even sat before a live audience.With that said, lets all partake in the pleasure of playing the suite again.

[@clivedavies5618]

l agree absolutely. His love of the music and his orchestra is obvious and in this piece he is being carried along as much by his musicians as they are by his conducting

[@82luft49]

i listen to this when i do history essays - it really helps! i think we studied this at guildhall once and i loved it

[@bradleyhouchens2094]

My orchestra preformed at Carnegie hall and played finale, jig, and intermezzo. It was so amazing

[@Tom_Het]

It seems to have grown in popularity a bit.

wow, this really a excellent version of finale!

[@TheRichie63]

this is one of my fave movs... in all the classical reportage"... It's been a while since I have seen a conductor feel his way through this piece. He did superbly... I have also seen this piece destroyed by over conducting it... Good Show Alim

[@ZambiblasianOgre]

I think you'll be happy to know, the views have exploded on this since 313 views! This is a great piece, and has lots of spirit!

[@samantharaymond-ball1045]

I'm not sure which is more entertaining to watch, the orchestra or conductor. But the notes are clear and it sounds together.

[@jiifigmentforever]

I've always thought that although this piece is a fine piece, when played against the counterpart from "Second Suite in F," it loses the tone colors from the military band setting. Strings are lovely and this piece is still fantastic in any setting it's in, but it needs the other colors to really shine.

[@therry1123]

he's in the spirit

[@AlexAwakening999]

Omg you know how tired my arm is after we play this piece? Omg I feel like I'll have to get it amputated!

[@petergjelsten3]

Nice

[@adriankingdon3055]

I dreamed that Holst has composed a finale but it was much more ominous and threatening than this reality.

[@henyoScarlet]

Yah, because that music is more like a dance. I played this Dargason and Jig movement when I was in college. You don't understand us conductors do you? The conductor was a very unique one. Not many conductors conduct as cool as he does believe me.

[@MsStarbuck11]

Dargason is a dance, and a fun one!

[@FinallyThere1]

From Scheile: We should try to emulate their articulation and dynamics throughout the piece. Also they are always together even during differing time signatures

[@wilsonmath1]

skyler: it is seamless when they change into the separate time signatures and it doesnt sound like two different songs. If we really work on getting our notes down we could sound like this at a slower tempo.

[@gerardoconnell6539]

I like the conductor ( oh do you now! )

[@MsStarbuck11]

The never-ending Dargason!

[@kjayscott]

Great dynamics, though the conductor did not do as much conducting, but the orchestra was able to hold their own.

[@gpoop23]

A conductor can sometimes act less as a metronome for the orchestra in actual performance and moreso the creative mind behind a rendition of a song. They'll always do at least a bit of both jobs, but sometimes it just ends up that most of their work is behind the scenes.
