In Rehearsal with Samuel R. Hazo- Arabesque, Utah All-State Band 2013

In rehearsal with Mr. Hazo, rehearsing the most technical song on the program. Here, we see Hazo's rehearsing methods including intimidation, humor, figurative language, and, especially his most commonly stated phrase--"Be You." Recorded January 18, 2013 at Bingham High School, South Jordan, Utah.

[@colefortier]

He is my favorite band composer of all time!! it would be a dream to even just write music or talk with him.

[@tastyteddy3874]

[@narraox]

Squash man Dew me too! What town are you from?!

[@joeheid2776]

Cause he had to play?

[@franco-wq4co]

Good job!

[@JohnJApanovitch]

This is awesome! Mr. Hazo is one of my favorite modern composers, and this ensemble must be honored to play probably his hardest piece, under Mr. Hazo himself. This is the kind of thing that I like, when a composer, author, artist, writer, etc. presents their own works, just to show the audience just how they want it to be done, and what effect they want it to give. I have actually conducted Arabesque on my channel, and I know that it is a very difficult piece to pull off. Great job to Mr. Hazo, and great job to this group of talented young musicians.

[@AriTheInterloper]

if people were playing arabesque 9 years ago imagine how good they are now

[@anonanon8995]

These were the days. He's great.

[@tastyteddy3874]

What an honour to be tought by arguably the greatest composer of band music ever. Would live to meet him or even just shake hands. My biggest dream is to play rush conducted by him. Rip my dreams tho

[@tri4cekid536]
