I'm doing this solo on soprano sax and it's honestly giving me life

[@greninja_san9223]

Big up to all oboeists! You are awesome ! ❤

[@keriswanberg1529]

As a clarinet player, the fact that all of us in our school band got to practically solo this with our guest soprano sax player along with the bits and chunks the other played with us in our Christmas concert makes this one of my favorites.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It actually has lyrics. Whispers in a dream The world is quiet and waiting And all around the air is still And sings the angels When all is come to pass The storm has breathed it's last And the rain Has washed our fears away Love will find Whispers in the wind The clouds part to let the light in And all around the people sigh As birds take to the sky When all is come to pass The storm has breathed it's last And the rain Has washed our fears away Love will fall on us all The world will smile again Whispers in a dream The world is quiet and waiting And all around the air is still Then sings the angels When all is come to pass The storm has breathed it's last And the rain Has washed our fears away Love will fall on us all And we can smile again

I play percussion but we have flute parts because the flute and marimba are basically the same and I play this at my spring concert tomorrow on April 25th

I want to play this in band (I’m an oboeist). It’s a shame that we have an incredibly flute heavy band, so I think it wouldn’t sound so good 😞

[@bobikeda3892]

I asked my band teacher if we can play this and he told me that he'd think about it. A few weeks later he gave me the solo oboe part!

[@jonrichdeven]

I solo on trumpet

[@erifetim]

I absolutely dislike the fact that: a) the piece has been transposed from D to Bb, b) the solo lines have been "dumbed down" - no quintuplets or other freely expressible rhythms, only straight sixteenths or eighths, and c) the arranger decided to end the piece in a tutti chord. It's so frustrating. Just about every arrangement for mid-level wind band. It all feels sooo dumbed down - "by god, please no sharps, triplets are the oddest rhythms we can offer, and let's make sure everyone is constantly playing". It's about everything that is wrong with modern day easily digestible wind band arrangements. And I hate it so much.

[@classicalcaroline9122]

it’s in the key of b flat because it’s easier for the oboist as well as the band to play as this arrangement is meant for a middle school band or maybe even a young high school band. if the oboist does their job, they can make the solo part as expressive as they want meaning they don’t have to play rhythms exactly how they’re written. it’s called being musical and is quite hard for a young musician to do. the super fast runs in the beginning of the orchestral version we’re taken out because again, this is meant for a young band.

[@erifetim]

​@@classicalcaroline9122 I understand the argument, and I probably feel a little too personal about it. The problem for me is that I play in an amateur wind orchestra (not school band), and it seems that publishers set extremely limiting restrictions to composers who want to publish for bands like ours. It makes every arrangement look, feel and sound like any other - which is good for conductors knowing what to expect, but bad for the orchestra in the long run. Avoiding sharps or complex rhythms not only strips the original piece of music of its musicality, but also kind of instills a limiting belief of what musicians (especially young musicians) can and cannot do. I'm of the strong belief that we should expose them to more variety, otherwise this belief will be further intensified (and I guess justified if no one wants to move out of their comfort zone).

[@classicalcaroline9122]

@@erifetim i’m playing this with my band currently and a professional composer/author wrote out a harder part for me and the other soloist so we could be more melodic and musical if that makes you feel any better 😌

@@UofLWoodwinder then I haven't seen much but considering this is a grade 3 piece, D Major wouldn't be a very friendly key to play in

Also the solo just feels like it's dumbed down. And why the heck would you opt to end the piece in a TUTTI CHORD what in the actual aaargh
