Prelude, Siciliano and Rondo.Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.

[@calebweekley9139]

The siciliano movement is some of the best band music I've ever heard

[@cameronsteil3850]

Playing first horn on Siciliano was so terrifying because of the fact that it’s just first and third horn at the beginning and D is a lot harder to start cleanly than Bb 😂

[@infallible_8343]

@@cameronsteil3850As a saxophonist that sat in front of the horns when playing this, I could tell

[@RimahBee]

I could listen to Siciliano over and over again without getting sick of it. We're playing this in band class right now, and every time I hear this part it lifts my mood completely. It's so lovely.

[@notoriousdirt35]

What if it was your alarm for you to wake up? Then, you might start hating or at least kinda disliking the music after a week.

[@jofnsof]

It's very repetitive

[@destinyb5924]

we played this my freshman year. I'm graduating this year, going back and listening to music I've played... it's soooo sad. Enjoy it while you can because it speeds by really fast!!

[@BrittanyLosh]

I'm doing the exact same thing! I'm graduating this spring also and I'm compiling a playlist of all the music my university band has played while I've been a part of it. :(

[@destinyb5924]

Brittany Losh yeah, lol I made a playlist of all my pieces. This is so sad. :(

[@matthewneesley761]

me too...back in 88-89 :)

[@notoriousdirt35]

I'm graduating from Highschool in 2023. Yes, I agree with you when you say that it's so sad, this song is making me feel like crying.

[@emmy9177]

I’m graduating a week and a day from now. Last day is this Thursday and this is my senior song (our band director let’s us all choose a song to read with the class from the past four years). Idek if you’re still active on this account 7 years ago wow but yeah

[@tonybrownell2783]

playing this for our region honor band siciliano is probably the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard

[@anonnymoose2372]

Yes I love it so much

[@ace_trace_2237]

Look up Oh Magnum Mysterium

[@AeonSaturnal]

Can’t agree more

[@stanleymullis2554]

I played it for region honor band this past weekend. It was very fun

[@atticusstark5197]

I loved these songs so much because they were instrumentally even. As a euphonium, I didn't usually see much melody, but this piece really delivered for the low brass.

[@beanielawrence9867]

i’m a euphonium player too and this song meant the world to me to have such a featured part

[@greghudson6861]

I don't think I ever appreciated my high school symphonic band conductor enough for picking pieces such as this which feature euphonium, I was really spoiled and had no clue until I became an adult.

[@rodrigroudon1872]

FOR REAL

[@braeden9606]

I’m a euphonium too, I was so excited when I saw my parts

[@ea5ymode185]

Played percussion senior year, had the solo at 5:42, everyone would cheer me after that part every time during practice, bunch of weirdos, good times good times :'(

[@nikirose3950]

I swear I felt like I was swimming and flying at the same time while playing siciliano...one ofthe most beautiful songs

I love hearing the 1st tuba go for those Gb runs in the rondo.

[@ryanmiller2170]

Played 1st horn for this my senior year. Was cut short by the pandemic, but I’m glad that this was the last piece I ever played. I miss band so much

[@angieepop37]

I loved playing this song! I was on trumpet! It was so much fun to play

[@cvbhuiop1]

I have a long relationship with this piece.. Last year, in middle school, we sight-read it and everyone loved it for weeks, then it came up again and I got to play a different part in Orange County's (nope, Florida) All-County band, and now I get to practice another part for my school's spring concert coming up soon. Really, I love it.

[@ripesoda7003]

Im doing that this year in Florida, I love it

[@broadwayVGC]

I played this song last year in band. Such a wonderful piece.

[@AmongusBossBaby]

Awww man those amazing percussion parts just flow it together

[@torikern6290]

My high school wind ensemble played this my junior year. Siciliano was by far my favorite movement. (Also, go 1st trombones!)

[@xeriffe8708]

i wish we had the trumpet solo at least once in siciliano though haha

[@Liondude101]

Second trombone here. I’m a junior in wind ensemble lmao. Having a blast with it so far!

COVID took all my solos lol

[@TheAlmightyBassist]

This is nostalgia for me. One of the first songs i ever played in high school.

[@ciaradonegan1607]

I just came across this piece in a tiktok of all things, I'd totally forgotten I'd played it but recognized it instantly! The rondo section was so much fun for the alto saxes

[@Muzzly1234]

I bloody love the Rondo

[@robinlarson3681]

Loved this when we played it in high school. More than 40 years later, I still hum it, especially the beautifully lyrical Siciliano.

[@baileyramirez8525]

I love Siciliano and Rondo ! Amazing. I play the clarinet so fun so fun

[@baileyramirez8525]

And trumpet!

[@jskoi5413]

Gotta love when a mid skill level piece of music has a professional level percussion part that professionals literally study. Fun times

[@decay9374]

We played this my 7th grade year and I’m just amazed how far I’ve come listening to my old saxophone solo on this was amazing

[@congamasterclass]

Played principal trumpet on this for the first time summer of 9th grade at the University of Pacific Summer Camp, Tim Smith directing. I have since taught it to my students 4 times of the course of my career. Best Band Piece ever!

[@mistressdante1824]

This makes me miss band so much; first, last and only solo I ever really played in my 8 years was in Siciliano XD

This is the exact same recording I have (it is distinguished by the cough at 3:43), but the CD info says it was a recording of BYU's wind ensemble.

Me and my classmates in band played this song a year after we played A Sacred Suite.

This song brings back so many memories... Sophomore year in the Utah State Honor Band. This and Resting in the Peace of His Hands were my two favorite pieces. I'll never forget those days.

4:55 Rondo

[@londondubplates]

the best one ive heard on here siciliano is where my heart's at

[@celadonk]

The beginning of the Siciliano sounds just like Agony from Into the Woods

[@moosewhisker8072]

this is by far the hardest song I've ever had to play. especially because the harp part is sooo darn hard to play on the marimba.

[@jskoi5413]

I find that vibraphone with medium-soft mallets fits better for replacement of the harp.

[@moosewhisker8072]

Uhhh, thanks for the tip? I don’t really need it anymore lol.

The semiquavers on alto sax A to G# just before the presto almost killed my fingers at Rondo. I knew we should've just stuck with Siciliano, it was good.

[@toast_toast1206]

Everyone is saying siciliano but tbh I like it when my band plays rondo, in the state of texas we have a reputation for being aggressive with our sound so rondo fits us better, only really the first chairs have a decent melodic sound, but we’re getting there
