@@eduardomiranda7094 There were no audition. Every year (except this year because of covid) there is a competition in the Amsterdam concert hall between the orchestras of about 12-15 high schools. Then after everyone performed before the judges you have rehearsal with all the orchestras together for the final piece and then you perform it. I went five years in a row and we played Romeo and Juliette overture, Swan lake, Jupiter etc. it's a really awesome initiative that let's school kids perform in a massive orchestra on a stage you'd normally never be able to play on.

[@lauramacgillefhinnein5106]

Dear Nick, since this is the Internet & you could be from anywhere in the world, please forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, (especially if you are British). Here in GB the music from 2:55 is in fact a hymn called "I Vow to Thee My Country". In England we don't have our own national anthem (aside from the obvious National Anthem of "God Save the Queen"). All the other countries of Britain have a second anthem except England. Many people want to have "I Vow To Thee My Country" as England's secondary anthem & there have even been petitions sent to Parliament to make it so. (I think it'd be a good choice, especially at the moment, the words resonate for this country!). A second contender for the role of England's national anthem is "Jerusalem". Very worthy too, but I prefer the former for the reasons stated above & also as it has Holsts amazing music too! ;)

I think it was Prince William who said that. Kate Middleton walked down the aisle to the said music.

You step out of the craft cautiously, breathing through the helmet you have on. Although the government has told you that this newly-discovered planet is hospitable for human life, you still doubt taking off your helmet, even though you can breathe this foreign air. All around you, you see humans pouring out of their spacecrafts- humans of every sort. Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Latin Americans. People of every race are staring in bewilderment at this new frontier. Humanity- fragile, sturdy, broken, beautiful humanity has found a place to live at last. Children are racing ahead of their parents, gazing in wonder at the majestic mountains in the distance and vast, unspoiled sky. Alongside you is your childhood friend, who has stayed with you since the collapse of Earth. They take off their helmet, smiling that familiar smile at you, taking a deep breath of the new air.

One day, when interplanetary travel becomes possible, there should be a tour of the Solar System for the general public.

Just imagine: 0:00-2:54 is playing on the way to the planet, as the pilot gives facts over the intercom about Jupiter, building up excitement.

[@brit1066]

My whole family are classical music lovers, when we hear the opening bars, we stopp whatever we are doing and everyone will whisper "it's Jupiter" and we listen in silence, each one of us in their own private paradise. On one occasion Jupiter interrupted a heated family argument, and at the end we all hugged each other the argument long forgotten.

***** Yeah the cello part in this song has quadruple stops (plucking all four strings, with a different fingering on each) so it was like playing a guitar perpendicular to the ground. My hands hurt so bad after every performance haha.

[@TuberosityTime]

Same high school orchestra experience here. I doubt we were that good, but we tried. I remember I was freaked out with my multiple parts (not too complicated but obvious if I screwed up) that started at about 1:10 - bells to triangle to tambourine back to bells - 2:09 was fun. It was one of the better auxiliary percussion parts I had. Most of the time I was counting measure of rest and getting busted with the rest of the drums...because our section was always getting busted for something - even if the trumpets started it...

[@adam000354]

[@anthonyheinlein6866]

music is such a complex topic that you can't teach yourself and have the confidence that you're going to know you're stuff. you have to spend years studying and analyzing and even then, there's more to learn. you have to be trained in many different ways. your ears, your reading skill, your ability actively look at more than one part, how literally each note functions within the piece. this stuff takes immense amount of study and work to he able to compose something like this. definitely not something that is self teach able.
