Gustav Holst - First Suite in E-flat - 2. Intermezzo (on ocarinas and euphoniums)

Here's the final addition to my arrangement of Holst's First Suite! I may re-arrange the third movement one day to be more up to date with the two I just posted, but until then this is all the Holst I have planned.

29 year band director here - this was fantastic! bravo, young man!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I LOVE this. thank you so much. I was a trombone player in the Army Band for 24 years, and this piece was a "go to" piece for us that we played all the time. You did a fabulous job! I play every brass instrument (except the French Horn, I've never tried that), but you make me want to pick up the ocarina, LOL

[@retcbn]

Impresive

[@worcestershirey]

You should do The Planets suite next!

[@duncanmcelroy8083]

not a bad idea

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Oh boy, that would be quite the project! Jupiter is my favorite, so I could see that one happening eventually.

[@MCMeru]

Mars would be awesome aswell! :D

[@MCMeru]

Also, you should check out the "english folk song suite" from Vaughan Williams, I played Orchestra Version a few months back and it was so much fun! I think you might enjoy it too :)

[@JordanMooreMusic]

I actually wrote a tuba and euphonium quartet arrangement of that a little over a year ago. I could certainly see that working well with ocarinas. :)

[@molybdnum]

That soprano segment at 2:30 is impressively clean.

[@samcolgin]

Could you do "Mars" from Holst's "Planets" Suite?

[@equiby6827]

Ahh the arpeggios for the flute part at the end... done so well ;') you did what our flute section couldn't lol

[@deltafournumbers]

The trilogy is complete! Absolutely love it!

[@gandalfthegrey2171]

Saw this first on facebook. Have listened to it 4 times now. SO GOOD! Well done!!

[@aronbortaneous2331]

Wow - seriously awesome and inspiring. Well done

[@cjdouglas3464]

This specific piece is my favorite of all music and all time. Thank you for this beautiful rendition. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Subscribed

[@jsaavedr1]

This is amazing. If I wasn't paying attention, I could swear by the beard of Zeus that the ocariana sounds like a woman singing. Good job!

[@prestodorito598]

Where can I find the arrangement for the lead Euph. At 1:24 and 1:52

[@JordanMooreMusic]

My apologies for the slow reply. Feel free to email me at [e-mail] and we can work it out with me sending it to you!

[@EllaTraxi]

Beautiful as always ♥

[@HankusTheTankus333]

Yesssss!!!! I played the clarinet solo in school this year (my senior year). Off to college now. I really like this arrangement!

[@andresuzcategui7642]

You should actually do Gustav Holst's Second suite in F next.

[@MrGumby385]

This is amazing! I never knew an ocarina could sound so good (or that there were so many different sizes)!

[@gjfls23]

This is actually insane

[@skyechen2673]

Awesome job with the solos! They sound beyond well polished!

[@JeanClaudeWelche]

Excellent !!!

[@skyechen2673]

I love Holst! This is also amazing!

[@elstephens3]

for sure planets suite next (: but good work on this video (and all your other ones)

[@KawaiiBunnyPyun]

AWESOME!!

[@andresuzcategui7642]

Love it!

[@walkerbait99]

This was incredible. I remember first hearing this when I was in band and wanting so badly to play the solo clarinet part. As an ocarina player myself I would love the notes if you have them. This is absolutely amazing and incredible. Never stop playing.

[@pukalo]

I played the entire suite in concert band in 2015. I played the alto clarinet part and as such I got to play the short solo at 1:52 (originally written for alto clarinet). Definitely in my top 10 favourite band pieces.

[@Pems33]

Great arrangement!

[@Chris-hk7zc]

on of my favorite songs

[@autsni]

Lovely stuff mate

[@JoanneMoo]

This is so cool! I gotta look into euphonium

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you! I’m glad I can share the love of euphonium

[@OcarinaOwl]

You are absolutely AMAZING! Great job Jordan :) I'd love to do a video with you someday 😀

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you, and yes I'd love to as well!

[@AgniGatling]

You should totally do the second suite in F some day as well!

[@katherinebarrios5656]

I feel so happy that my band teacher let us play this piece. It looks a bit difficult for our level of playing (we are 7th graders going to 8th grade soon), but it is so peaceful and graceful.

Nice video, a fan here!

[@user10957]

Yeah!!

[@borborygmic]

ocarinas and euphoniums (I think), what more euphonious combination...

[@borborygmic]

just, damn, you guys are gooooood...

[@clervius]

bro what software do you use to put the videos together like this?

[@JordanMooreMusic]

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio

[@gigmeister53]

Wow, this is incredible! I also play ocarina and have a large collection. I've thought about doing a split screen ensemble like this, but you've set the bar very high indeed - plus I don't play euphonium! Looks like you have a C bass (my lowest is a Fiehn Eb) plus your highest instrument goes all the way up to A. What size/model would that one be? Thanks so much for posting!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you! The lowest I have is the Claudio Colombo contrabass C, and the highest one is a Focalink Sopranino F. I've since discovered that many soprano C ocarinas (including the one I use in this video) can use overtones to go to high A, and my Focalink Double soprano G can as well.

[@gigmeister53]

I need to discover some of the new ocarina designs and makes out there - I mostly have the old school Austrian ocarinas, and a few modern ones made along the same lines. Here's a recording I made of the opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra. There are gaps for the timpani part - which I never got around to adding. www.dropbox.com/s/k2npicqsz16t5jq/Also%20Sprach%20Zaratootstra.mp3?dl=0

[@fernandoavila5079]

qué gran talento. eh escuchado los tres movimientos y son simplemente sublimes :')

[@narutouzumakijoshua]

If you get the chance, you should do second suite

[@logangonzalez9977]

You should do a cover of this one piece called The Country Club Stomp, its fairly easy but it's a really catchy piece, i still catch myself humming the tune every nownand then after 2 years...

[@logangonzalez9977]

Forgot to add that you did a fantastic job on this cover, this was also one of my favorite pieces that we did that year, keep on playing!

[@thaDjMauz]

I think you could definitely get some sponsors if you wanted (or maybe some have reached out already).

[@Logaddi]

2 down. One to go

[@lucyyockey]

How did ocarinas become one of your signature instruments?

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Well once I started my euphonium major, I mostly stopped practicing instruments with different embouchures because doing so can mess with my endurance. So ocarina is ideal because it has no embouchure. But that's not to say that I won't make more full wind ensemble videos in the future of course.

[@SheriffKatmin]

1:24 hits different

[@LMG5123]

You should do some more Zelda stuff

[@okGM013]

CONTRABASS OCARINA
