Clifton Williams - Symphonic Suite [Fennell, TKWO]

[@sashasingh7389]

Fennell was my instrumental conducting teacher at University of Miami, 1966-68. Clifton Williams was my counterpoint professor at UM, and a friend. When I was a band director, he came out to guest conduct his Variation Overture. Exciting years.

Thank's 'Sarah Williams' for turning me on to this stunning wind band composition by your father Clifton Williams! Filled with pride to see esteemed Japanese Symphony honoring his music.

THANK YOU Kosei for using cornets. Beautiful.

Two years before Fennell's death. What a career and legacy!

What a joy to hear this performance. It brings back memories of my High School years in the late 50’s. Paul Horn

Shame on the " thumbs down" people on this!

[@obiwan88]

They probably had something stuck within their ear canal...

The Chorale is sublime in its spare arrangement but is so beautiful and emotional. Beautiful solo playing. Overall my favorite Williams piece.

今でも、この手の曲を振らせたら、マエストロの右に出る者はありませんね。 演奏も、緊張感が有り、素晴らしいです！（拍手）

[@glennmartin974]

素晴らしいブラスの曲だと思います

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

Hearing the Tokyo Kosei Winds play this is so interesting because as a culture the Japanese love American music and especially our band and classical pieces. This group is about as good as it gets. Got to play this in a district or regional band in h.s. and then in college Love the shepherd's crook cornets.

[@jamescareless159]

They clearly 'get' the American band repertoire. Their grasp of it is evident in their playing.

[@fernithenoface8988]

i like the 1st chorus

I came back to add that aside from being just plain beautiful in everyway, Tokyo Kosei is technically flawless. If there were a Mt. Rushmore of american band music, Fennell would be one of the faces on it.

My favorite Clifton Williams work since I first heard it played at Hill Auditorium, on the campus of the Univ. of Michigan in 1966. A great piece, made up with some many different rhythms and moods. I played euphonium & tuba in college. Loved playing works like this. TKWO does an wonderful job, as always........great recording!

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

you got to listen to the U. of M. band led by the great William Revelli, then? What a treat

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

You got to play for William Revelli? What a privilege!

[@地引満]

懐かしい！。この曲、演奏しました。

[@stevencraven4897]

Love the cornets - the Eb Clarinet and piccolo next to each other - the Bass Sax and Contra Bass Clarinet - and that EVERYONE was locked into the conductor and into LISTENING to each other for blend and balance - and following the dynamic and tempo markings. I didn't hear a bad note until the very end.

[@Piermont-dp8yj]

I have loved this since I first heard it. Beautiful performance of an exquisite piece!

佼成黄金期のメンバーでずね。フェネルの人なりと解釈が音になっている。常任指揮になる前に佼成との録音があるが、あれがバイブルである。ヨーロッパ的な要素から、アジアの要素が加わり、音型をかえて演奏される様子は、ひとつの音楽物語としては上出来といえるだろう。稲垣卓三先生や、関口仁先生。サックスセクションには須川先生がいらっしゃる。木村牧麻先生。なつかしい。オーボーは現N響の和久井仁先生ですよ。
