Frank Ticheli - Loch Lomond

[@kimberlyw2591]

Played chimes for this years ago as a freshman in high school and I've been looking for a recording this arrangement ever since... goosebumps every time. Just beautiful.

[@trist5206]

I’m practicing this song rn and I’m a freshman trumpet in highschool. I love this song so much

[@rlga5]

Does anyone hear "Danny Boy" being played around 5:01 over the melody? The harmony is beautiful! To me it sounds like a beautiful theme of commiseration between the Irish and Scottish at the end, through their similar histories of hardship and suffering. Bravo for this, Ticheli. It's simply beautiful.

[@garlic_bread_toast4403]

It’s in both French horn parts and possibly in the 3rd clarinets

[@firemundy4528]

@@garlic_bread_toast4403 i played this in my senior year in highschool. it's very subtle, but its also in 2nd trumpets. I had to drop to 2nd chair for that part bc the freshmen and sophmores couldn't figure it out for some reason.

[@TheNotforyou]

Its not the notes that make this peice difficult. Its expressing the emotion. Anyone can learn to play something like this technically but only a few can find the correct emotions. Excelent job.

[@naomish1604]

Im a flute and I sit right infront of the saxes and its like a warm blanket and makes me want to cry.

[@nimitzclass14]

I got to play this WITH Frank Techeli :) i played the horn part and cried through the entier last part of the peice, i still do when i hear this peice. Music will save the world, one amazing peice like this at a time.

[@orlandopitti7417]

I played the horn part as well and every time i play it, it makes me cry because of how beautiful it is. This is a gorgeous piece

Thank you

[@TTV_RizingPh3nix]

You are amazing my friend

[@SirQuacks]

As beuatiful as this song is it breaks my heart to hear it because it was the last song I ever played. :(

[@bandgeek54901]

AMAZING piece. I played it 4 years ago at my HS honors band. almost brings me tears to hear it.

[@joeyg1220]

This was the first Tichelli piece i played back in 9th grade, my band director always picks one of his arrangements for our competition/evaluation

[@ThatgirlAudie]

I love this version! I played this at Honor Band my sophomore year, but I didn't realize it was by Frank Ticheli! His Loch Lomond is by far my favorite arrangement I've ever heard, especially when he includes Danny Boy in the final movement, I guess you could say it is... Both of them my favorite songs; put them together and you get magnificence.

[@amatful1]

I love traditional music of the British Isles. This is a beautiful arrangement of a classic.

[@HeatherChristineCnet]

Played this arrangement at Mid South Honor Band here in Arkansas and it's absolutely one of the best arragngements of this song. I was honored to be part of the beautiful clarinet choir like part. Thank you, Mr. Ticheli for such a beautiful piece.

[@Alex-pj7rc]

Played this in concert band of my freshman year in high school. Such a great piece.

[@VonDahDon]

tenor sax life 😭😭. i love this piece

[@kylebenson5030]

R Money Gaming Yea tenor sax!!!!!!!

[@eringriffin7805]

Yea tenors!

[@OrigiNate11]

Takes me back to my senior year of high school... My favorite part was when I had the melody at 4:32 on trombone

[@taliaross3501]

+Nathaniel Wagner Trombones are the best!!

[@lilianasandberg4979]

I played timpani on this piece in 8th grade. It still gives me chills.

[@westcoastlogger06]

Played this my first and last year of band. Favorite piece by far.

[@ERichard518]

I loved playing this back in high school. this and second suite in F by Faust were my favorites. Baritone horn solos ftw.

[@taliaross3501]

I play this in band every day I love it so much

[@justing3582]

I also play Trombone, love playing this piece

[@TheKat2323]

Playing this is band now. I love it to tears. So bittersweet. It really pulls at my heart strings.

[@DrumCorpsAlum]

Me too. I saw Hazo conduct Ride last year. As soon as I see Eric Whitacre conducting a group, I can be happy with seeing my favorite 3.

[@Liamcruz94]

wow if that was the REAL frank ticheli that commented (is he still alive?) then i feel privileged commenting on the same video as him... he is an absolute legend and he is my idol !!

[@electricfeelsarah]

I love playing this song in band. We had a scotsman come into our class today and after listening to us play it, he said we did a great job. I think that if we got a scotsman to say "good job," we did a good job. :]

[@anamariaromo7634]

Playing this in band right now and it is just amazing! Makes me want to cry each time I play it. I find myself moving as I play because I get so into it! Love this piece. Love it love it love it!!!

[@jillmason2776]

ive played this during my sophomore year and now we are playing it again my senior year

[@jessicabray7591]

I'm of Irish and Scottish descent on my mother's side. So this song is very important to me. Also, in Band, I'm playing Ticheli's recording of Shenandoah. If anyone knows a good vocal recording of this, I would be ever so grateful for the information, on Shenandoah. Also, to the Jewish people of the world. I apologize for the President's conduct towards your own, and towards the Jews as a whole. I support Israel wholeheartedly.

[@mandyinseattle]

My UUC church performed this the other week and it was spectacular. I'll download it soon. And I couldn't disagree with you more on Israel. Netanyahu is doing a grave disservice to his country and people.

[@VarsityGirlRunner]

i played this song a year ago in my high school symphonic band it was quite amazing and i love it so much. the clarinet part, which i played, was so intense... my teacher even told us the story behind the song... it makes me almost cry cause i know it... i

[@RawkLobstah88]

5:30 onwards. Oh my god. Oh my dear sweet god. I couldn't even keep my cool playing this, it was just so beautiful. Makes my heart melt and my eyes water.

[@doggiewolfclaw]

We just finished playing this at International Music Camp. An absolutely gorgeous piece of music. I'll never tire of it :)

[@AnimeFangurl]

I wish I still had my piccolo. I'd play that darn solo over and over again just because it's that awesome. ;_;

[@MeatballHead66]

I played this back when I was in grade 12. I was on second clarinet and it was one of my favourite songs played that year. :)

[@RawkLobstah88]

5:30 on...Oh god, goosebumps. I played this in 11th grade, and it's still one of my favorite pieces to have played...nay, to have listened to. Thank you sir.

[@nparadisecity]

This song gives me the shivers every single time I hear it...

[@clubby1234]

absolutely stunning

[@MrJuiceBagelFly]

Playing the clarinet solo with my best friend on piccolo. Clarinets are beast...

[@LoVeAbLe2747]

My brother played this for his middle school all county concert 2 years ago. (he was 2nd or third trombone) this osng had to be my favorite

[@Jresurfer]

We are playing this song in our high school band right now! I really like this song, especially the clarinet part I am playing.

[@Bhelryss]

my orhcestra tried a shorter version out in 8th grade. the prettiest thing i've ever heard. we didn't have any bandies around but still, this is one of my favorite things ever.

[@Trask127]

This song makes me think of some of the beautiful places I know of in Michigan. Mainly though, it makes me think of the Irish Hills and Hillsdale. When the sunflowers in bloom and you stand atop the highest point and can look on for miles and miles, that's pretty awesome.

[@Indifferent1618]

I played this in our schools bottom band, back when I was in it, it was so fun playing =)

[@stacyk123]

Played this senior year of high school

[@MistaMaiPho]

Got this for band so amazing. Thanks Frank you are the best!

[@Running_in_spite]

Haha, I played percussion for this song back when I was in High School. Our woodwinds were not good... but it was still fun:) I miss band so terribly. I became a choir boy instead.

[@Shordanna]

This is the only reason why I miss high school. Playing in any and all the music programs ;-;

[@893tennis]

めっちゃいい！ 泣ける・・・・

[@jrfclarinete]

I Loved a lot this piece. I`m going to played in Portugal. Bravo Frank Ticheli

[@sonixnight3500]

so happy that i got to see the lyrics for this awesome song!

[@mrwilliamjoel]

at 5:00....... I never thought, but Danny Boy and Loch Lomond really mesh well! That's so cool!

[@lookitsdanielle]

Yes, just a little bit though. Especially during Danny Boy at the end...such a powerful contrast, I just loveeeeee it!

[@northrupthebandgeek]

I remember when I played this back in high school. Lead horn was so fun.

[@joeyg1220]

I remember playing this 2 years ago on my freshmen year in the Wind Ensemble, i loved the bassoon part from meausre 28-39, get to play it again this year in the concert band on trombone. 2nd favorite tichelli piece (1st being American Elegy)

[@MadDogMadisonXDIS0]

I LOVE this song! I played first trombone part, and i was so sad to have to give it up when we were done playing it! and i love Frank Tichelli! This particular recording is beautiful!

[@bitchdonteatmycheese]

whoever was playing 3rd trumpet is amazinggg!!!!

[@daliamccloud1316]

i played this for my 8th grade mpa on 1st clarinet and we always played it around and sang it Because everyone basically has it memorized

[@caraau6801]

Clarinets ftw!

[@amberlo2679]

Dalia Mccloud lmaooo dalia what up

[@daliamccloud1316]

Amber Lo ayeeeee famm

[@williamronnenberg5725]

I love playing clarinet

[@VonDahDon]

Tenor Sax Is Life

[@FlanaganinjaMan]

'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon', Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view, An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'. (Chorus) The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'; But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again, Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'

[@natekearney9947]

I love when people come up to me and say why would your band play lyrical music. They're so stupid. Lyrical music is infinitely harder than technical it's not even funny. Like this if you agree.

[@hunterbean34]

amazing gives me goosebumps

[@mutedcolour]

i love this song

[@nevnev11]

Playing the oboe part :)

[@xDeppObsession1963]

i love this song so so so so so so much

[@Brockspapa]

Beautiful. Thank you. I sure enjoyed it.

[@insertOusernameOhere]

We are playing this song right now in band! Thanks for the help I needed to hear it, I have the solo T.T soo nervous lol.

[@poopcorny]

FRANK TICHELI IS AWSOME!!!

[@lookitsdanielle]

I play first horn on this song too...it's absolutely beautiful!

[@rplpizearke]

I'm going to be playing the horn part of this. This song is beautiful.

[@jaydenmarpar8998]

This arrangement and the Sonic World Orchestra are my favorites of Loch Lomond.

[@Pri13]

I love this song. We play this song in community band, it's one of my favorites. =)

[@joeyg1220]

@EmoMoodSwings Yup, JAF, and doubt were performing it at school Domo

[@TheRachmaninoffFan]

yes I agree :) Ticheli really likes putting lots of horn into his pieces and this is a perfect example of that. But the horn in this is really nice~would you agree that they should play a little bit louder though? (Since it's such a quiet instrument)

[@seanomore4956]

Beautiful song, and beautiful photo, but. . . given that it's a famous Scots song, why a photo of Keem Strand on Achill Island. . . Ireland?

[@fatty4matty]

Baritone/Euphonium for life

[@jamestonbellajo]

I was going to upload that too because I played it! I never got to it though.

[@jamestonbellajo]

I posted the link. Enjoy!

[@stankyt5882]

Blessed to be the only First clarinet cuz we have like 25 ppl in our band

[@jamestonbellajo]

You'll be fine! Good luck playing!

[@IloveKDmmmm]

I play 1st too.. love the solo.. not difficult but it is so beautiful :) second favorite song by this amazing composer

[@sqweebel1]

Horn part in this song effing rocks

[@dunespeak]

I wish the sax could have been louderT_T (played this few years back, but teacher wanted me to be quiet near the end XD)

[@setteria]

@naomish1604 haha im a flute too! and i know exactly how you feel! it's so amazing :D (only the saxes are to the left of me and the trumpets are behind me :)

[@badboysummers]

Clarinet Pride!!!!

[@williamronnenberg5725]

Agreed

[@AnimeFangurl]

I love this song. :D Our high school band is playing it on tour... ^_^ And I get the piccolo solo. YAY! It's quite annoying to have to swap instruments mid-song, though. I actually had to cut out one of the whole notes on flute so I had enough time to switch and make sure my piccolo was warm [since it was just sitting on my piccolo stand].

[@insertOusernameOhere]

nope piccolo. I just started playing so I'm like "aaah!" its a bigger change than you think lol but I am getting it! Its coming along well!

[@TheRachmaninoffFan]

thank you so much for posting (: we're playing this song in band..and I'm first horn and this really helped me with phrasing and how my part should sound! the horns in this are great! I just think that at some parts, they could play a LITTLE louder but that's just my opinion.

[@williamronnenberg5725]

I played 3rd clarinet on this in 6th grade

[@anamariaromo7634]

Alto sax all the way!!!!

[@893tennis]

I played the Tb part

[@jacobflaschen]

Didn't your theory teacher teach you never to write parallel perfect intervals, Ticheli?

[@burtonater]

Nice mix of Danny Boy in the end there

[@paliki2]

we played this when clinton came to speak

[@IAmTheNietzsche]

@jacobflaschen Its a common thing for Scottish folk music

[@CxRay73]

@kudasango Yes :) ♥

[@milisentbystander]

i`ll take the higfh road and you`ll take the low road lol

[@FlanaganinjaMan]

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'. where me and my true love were ever wont to gae On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'. O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road, An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and me true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

[@ItachiUchiha2010]

I love how he infused Danny Boy into it.

[@kithic14]

@jacobflaschen Well sure but it still sounds amazing :)
