Pines of Rome. Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.

[@wastedrep9593]

My high school wind ensemble was about to play all 4 movements for our UIL competition but then Corona said "not today sir"

[@deltafournumbers]

Those high B's in the horns in the beginning were stunning. Very well done!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

This splendor of words can not arrive Especially no pine is as intriguing and captivating and heroic and inspirational as the pine of Via Appia

[@CorvetteCoonass]

This arrangement is so amazing! Especially love the finale, it's so friggin' powerful. I love the orchestral version, but the finale alone takes the cake for me.

[@advantagetrophy8618]

I've played in the antiphonal brass for this piece. A lot of fun. The Kalinikov Finale also.

[@jamesavatar5]

The French Horns add so much sass to the first movement. That's the only way I can put it.

[@isaacgael2523]

@Beau Jamie I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@isaacgael2523]

[@NoName-qr5jg]

Wow ! It could be a music for a Miyazaki's film. Very good version !

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

If you look at the playlist of all the music this orchestra plays, it reads like the entire Drum Corps International (DCI) music catalog....They've played just about everything Drum Corps have played over the years

[@collinhill9416]

[@cdog1089]

Dat Horn in the begining!!!

[@mjosephwillettecomposer3791]

Cody Ward right?

[@minjaejameskim8340]

My high school's top band played this piece but in a faster tempo. God....the piano part was quite challenging, but this piece is by far the best piece I had ever played at high school.

[@patriciadebenedetto1506]

it does not need to be faster....just precise and crystal clear....stunning writing on all parts

[@spablopablito]

Not, They are professional musicians. :)

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

I prefer it to be faster

[@HenryMidfields]

If only the articulations and tonging on winds weren't as difficult as similarly played on strings in the original orchestral version...

[@niels1217]

Who arranged this?

[@Cherrierune]

Niels Defesche his last name is Kimura.

[@niels1217]

Cherrierune thanks!

[@HenryMidfields]

I think this is the transcription from De Haske Publishers, with the arranger being, yes, Yoshihiro Kimura.

[@windsofnagual]

I think Eiji Suzuki is arranger. TKWO didn’t recorded Kimura’s arrangement.

[@nopie79]

This is simply outstanding! Is it true this band consists of middle-highschool players?

[@deltafournumbers]

nopie79 No, they are professional musicians.

[@Wattsini91]

Pines of Rome is meant to be much slower. Should be Crotchet = 60
