Les Miserables - Claude-Michel Schonberg arr. Bob Lowden (PMI 2012 Finale Concert)

[@angelacooper2661]

I have played this at Orchestra many times on the viola and am doing it again. I have a good musical memory and my favourite is Master of the House with the trombone slide tune in. Always puts a smile on my face!

[@ethancardenas820]

I played viola too! Violas unite!

[@ethancardenas820]

I’m in the 2nd row right next to the cellos lol ahhh when I was young 😅

[@angelacooper2661]

​@@ethancardenas820I am much older than you, as this took place the year my father died, 2012. Then I was 42, and now 53. My formative years were spent during the 70s and 80s!

This is my favorite version of a Les Mis medley. I remember playing it at Conference Band 8 years ago.

[@ailagiltz6534]

This arrangement is fantastic. It combines all the best songs of Les Miserables. I simply must know where you got it from.

[@blurra.a1634]

My favorite part is at 7:53 and 4:27

[@ILuvBassoon]

First bassoon part! (AKA French Horn + Bass) But still! First bassoon!

[@hhr1606]

0:18

I 'hear' the negative comments. It's a high school orchestra isn't it? Maybe a Jr. high? It's been 5 years since posting. I bet these kids listen to it and cringe. We all have to start somewhere. I do recognize the tune at least. I don't hear any newly invented notes. LOL

Forgive me but don't conductors bother to learn the music by listening to the actual musical? I have yet to come across a performance of this arrangement with the correct tempi from beginning to end. It's disappointing that directors don't do more to study and learn their scores so that they can "teach" it properly to their students.

[@Officialotep]

Our orchestra are doing it properly. from the first 8 bars in the beginning our conductor takes it slow and then we change to a faster tempo at the start of the 12/8 march. The percussion past in master of the house is no where near the proper version, so I had to learn a totally different part.

[@garrysleath6902]

I have conducted this wonderul arrangement many times over the years with the great John Cleveland Orchestra (who were three times National Champions in England) and agree with you absolutely .The conductor here has clearly never been to see the show otherwise he woudnt be taking no notice of the tempo marking for the final passage (When you hear the people sing) which tells you that it begins quite slowly and is definitely NOT at the the march tempo he thinks it should have. Also Master of the House is ridiculously fast...that isnt the tempo it is marked at....all the humour of the lyrics would be completely lost if anyone tried to actually sing it at that pace.

[@obirch23]

nice, can't say I like the kit though

[@bobbrooks6478]

What do you expect from 5 first violins and 5 celli and being kids to boot ..they aren't the Berlin with 12 in each string section...give them a break

[@victorcheung1803]

Really needs more passion, sounds kind of boring to me.

[@barryaraujokolman3008]

wish there was a more professional arrangement. Don't like the kit either.
