Isn't this what heaven is like?

[@fartwrangler]

Very nice. But with four contras I'm not really sure why you needed that string bass sawing off to the side. :)

Awesome band and sound, one of the best versions available to listen to on KZbin. Could you please tell, who is the arranger and where you can get the music?

Maravilha!!!!

[@xedxeam]

oh yes, so many cazoos !

[@organist1982]

This is really beautiful, but with FOUR CONTRAS, I would expect to hear some appreciable sound in the contrabass register. It's like the 4 contra players were all shy! I played contra quite a bit in high school, and I was often told to play less loudly, so I know it's possible to put some air into the horn! Then again, maybe the mic placement here had something to do with it. Why is a double bass included?

[@drumminfro]

Yeah, it's weird. I actually hear more bass clarinet than contrabass. I mean, as a bass clarinetist, I don't mind 🤣 but still. I'd love to hear more bottom end

[@luib3695]

Where can I find this piece? I'd love to preform it with the Clarinet quintet I'm in. (4 Bb Clarinets and 1 Bass Bb Clarinet)

I love Maynard's version however, this clarinet choir evocks an equally power renedention of Dannny Boy😎
