The Ayres of Agincourt

By Richard Meyer
Just thought I would upload this because my school band is doing this song and I like it.

[@alecrobinson7124]

Clarinet 2 I still get this piece stuck in my head over a decade later

[@IvoryMelodies86]

2 decades for me, and same lol

[@-curtiscamp]

I also play this on clarinet 2

[@allycampbell8982]

Came here because i had the alto sax little "solo" bit stuck in my head... from 15 years ago

[@gottabekd]

I LOVE this song. i remember it from when i played in high school, i was first alto. this brings back so many good memories

[@allycampbell8982]

*high fives*

[@isoeparno]

2 years ago we played this song in my Symphonic Band class and this song was brutal for the clarinets

[@Nappyboyradio1119]

I just got accepted into my schools symphonic band and this was a culture shock

[@leahm10]

NOOO 😭😭 I looked up the recording hoping it'd be slow or easy.. I got part 1 (which is the highest and hardest usually), even though I wanted 3 😭 pray for me 🙏

[@allycampbell8982]

Can confirm. Not much better when i changed to alto sax!

[@leahm10]

Well, we just had our concert 2 days ago, and I did really good! The band director gave me another part 1 for our next set of music! Edit: We got 1st place in our performances!!

[@adissad]

[@KingOfTheDeathlessShadows]

Got recommendation from Obake PAM Ch.

[@collingray7729]

This is so fun to play in band

[@HimanXK]

Oboe plays a part that no one else ever plays at one point, and I had to listen to the song like 10 times to figure out how it sounds. But this is a great song.

[@juliathecrazyqueen5718]

omg same...the lonely islands of oboes

[@xXibemeXo]

HOW DO THE FLUTES DO THIS I GOT THE MUSIC YESTERDAY AND IM DYING

[@shaedcloak5803]

hah yeah the flutes in my band have a playing test on the hardest bars and they're complaining so hard

[@orianawood2575]

I bet it’s a memory you miss now

[@bv310]

Played this song in the middle of Prague with our band a few years back. Only time I ever enjoyed the French Horn.

[@ConverseAndSharpies]

my teacher is making us play this for festival..... not going so well for the flutes.... Yeah, we suck

[@AndrewSokolowski]

What school are you with?

[@mandapanda990]

Flute and just got the piccolo today for it! Love the little guy!

[@Kdance013]

this is the guy who wrote my clarinet solo "Clarinetics" in 7th Grade!!! :) :) :) :)

[@dopwolfe]

great peace the olny thing i dont like are the 16th notes on mesure 119 they get confusing some times

[@xxAernaxx]

Clarinet eek. My school band just picked this up but I'm very excited to play it.

[@shaedcloak5803]

This was 6 years ago, but how'd it go?

[@purple30haze12]

My school did this for Music fest and got gold :) good song

[@LucianoClassicalGuitar]

fuck...everytime I listen to this song I feel like grabbing a few horses from gondor and start charging LOL

[@Yousufbholat95]

Are you Nicole Yamashiro?

[@lohsiang24]

[@soapboxproduction]

4:50 most fun to playyy on flute omfgggg

[@nikkiAzn42]

south pointe???

[@winksopro6916]

3:24

[@PyromancerMusic]

If you're have the trouble where you slur F-Bb-F, with the little G-Eb-F after the high F, just hold down your Bb thumb key and play it all open except the Bb. Makes life so much easier in my opinion.

[@kayleephillips9909]

the flute part will always get me :(((((

[@Yousufbholat95]

No way, how old are the members?

[@ilovetoplaytimpani]

Our band didn't have any French horns, and I play alto, so I played an alto/french horn hybrid part for festivals. It was so awesome. I love this song. +the second sax solo

[@LiLkRnMofo]

sorry i wasnt talking about this recording, i was talking to one of the commenters

[@Richard30006]

ah, did this for national kiwanis in highschool, first alto sax anyone?

[@yosup-bj9mk]

[@moomiss]

@centershot828 omgsaur u must be in homer band

[@Tylendal242]

I love the part where the clarinets get to start playing the up and down bit. Made my lips hurt though.

[@luckyjames101]

I play the Oboe, Flute and some French Horn for this song God I love this song

[@nikkiAzn42]

uhh noooo why would it be bridget??? it's a guy named NICK!!!! :P

[@MrDragonedge]

[@IvoryMelodies86]

[@tacitcast]

I love how no on is mentioning the xylophone part XD you should try it one day

[@MyImmortalArwen223]

Exactly! But I love the part so much :)

[@nikkiAzn42]

[@ydrox8535]

[@nikkiAzn42]

o, it's u

[@phoeberushton9845]

1st oboe!! Literally the youngest person in my band and the first and only oboe! The amount of pressure is unreal.

[@gcole2108]

Me too! Oboe player back in high school, was usually the only one (although one year another person played oboe, before dropping out due to pressure)! I always loved this song!

[@juannavarro2813]

When I was in 7th grade, one of my band mates bought the whole score and parts for this song because he wanted us to play. Obviously our band director knew we couldn't handle but the kid DID pay for it, so director let us try and it was bad lmao. Thankfully I got to play it couple years later

[@megpeterson4587]

Trombones wooooo!

[@ChessdumyTV]

+Sorta Kinda Basic Trombones are beautiful. I play it. Trombone Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -The only band instrument that can properly play slurs! -Tune-friendly because of the slide -In jazz band, you get the privilege to swing it around :P -Simple, therefore easy to clean. Go trombones!

[@syruphi]

you mean glissandos, right? trombones can't slur without being horribly out of tune. also, clarinets can glissando

[@ethanolol3895]

Honor band-1st horn :)

[@noahgrunerud9890]

Any 1st trumpet players?

[@MaplePanda04]

Noah Grunerud hello there!

[@chessatom7786]

Trombone 1 here!

[@flare2000x]

+Chessconure Represent!

[@sorenhvenegaard6374]

AAAAYYYY!

[@wafflenovas]

I'm trash at trombone but have to play 1st someone save me

[@perjutsu2936]

Clarinet part is insane lol

[@IvoryMelodies86]

it's in a friendly key though, at least.

[@-curtiscamp]

Its challenging but not impossible. I always get a kick out of playing it.

[@nikkiAzn42]

lol, yah, but sometimes it wuz boring

[@x0kiwii0x]

I'm playing this piece!

[@kapitol.]

aaah the memories. power to the clarinets!

[@eleanorcerar6273]

I literally had to learn the ENTIRE mallet part in only five days, and I'm only a sophomore! That was hard, but I did it! Love the song, too!

[@colefrauzel7657]

+Mark Cerar Mallets here, too! (Except I had a couple weeks to learn it). Was a great song because it got me to play more quick things I couldn't play before.

[@trocksy]

This was three years ago, but wtv. I just switched to percussion this year and I'm playing mallets, WOW IT'S HARD

[@dashcole131]

playing xylo at the end rip

[@centershot828]

My band is doing this song, and 1812 overture in the same concert!

[@ItsallaboutTrevor]

you're amazing.

[@blibgreen8047]

how about that trombone transition eh?

[@JeremySumpterLuver]

let's say measure 43 [or something like that...], YES you have to hear the flutes and clarinets. anyways, i don't want to argue, that was my opinion, that we have to hear these instruments more in this piece

[@meganwalters7745]

French horn

[@knux85-58xunk]

SAME

[@appaloosaauthor2993]

same

[@sarahst223]

[@Yousufbholat95]

[@Yousufbholat95]

[@Fromage97]

oboe SOLO

[@Yousufbholat95]

Yah, go south pointe

[@musicluvah510]

[@lam362]

1st Trombone, easy but great

[@Kdance013]

[@danicaleclair5921]

Any other clariné players?

[@SprinkleGummyBears]

@ipodtj south pointe wind ensemble!!! :) oboes!!!!!!!!

[@xXibemeXo]

Flute!

[@wanintenucks]

Great piece. Trick for clarinets and flutes tho. Hard to be in sync with a large band.
