Richard Meyer - The Emerald Falcon - New Symphony Orchestra, Borislav Yotzov

[@jordankennedy9053]

This piece was commissioned by the conductor at my high school when I was there. Our mascot was the Falcons, and our school colors were emerald and gold, and I got to be in the first ever public performance of this piece. 2014 ish

[@xaviersantiago4587]

Try 2011. 👍👍👍

[@t1geres544]

Wow, that is really cool. We wouldn’t have the budget for that here.

[@avrumcooper2121]

I don’t think my school would care enough about the orchestra for that

[@ShyDigi]

@@xaviersantiago4587 ish you idiot, not exactly 2014, this person still could have been in highschool in 2011 if they were in HS in 2014 you dense cabbage.

[@redmadness265]

Oh my goodness the bass line for canon in D is torture. It's just the same 4 measures repeated for what feels like an eternity with some slight variations here & there PLEASE NEVER MAKE ME DO THAT AGAIN I WOULD CRY

[@redmadness265]

Maybe for the arrangment we got tho...

[@glibbergloop]

Yeah but look at them smiling at 1:18 lol

My high school orchastra was going to play this than Corona stopped us but I still have the sheet music I'm a viola player

[@zandermanwell7214]

@Jayden Son u probably have two diffrent orchestras and your probably in the more advanced one or u go to a privet school or my school just sucks

[@tsukarikaoru]

I got to play this for my last concert in high school the other day. The viola part is so FUN at least to me. I think I practiced the accidentals for at least 4 hours total

[@t1geres544]

@Jayden Son I, also a violist, played harder stuff than this in seventh grade, but because there are only two freshman orchestras at my high school, I am playing this now. The piece I reference is Ritter suite for strings movement one.

You play orchestra? Cause I do and they seemed *amazing* and either way stop hating on a beautiful masterpiece even if there is some flaws. No need for hatred because you keep making comments like that and someone is going to be *PISSED* so stop spreading your useless and unwanted opinion and go home, kid.

[@vio1827]

The only flaw was the bass soloists intonation. The cellos weren’t out of tune at all.
