R.I.P. Mr.Robert W.Smith. (October 24th,1958- September 21st,2023) 🕊️ I’ll never forget you. I’m so grateful that I was your student, and was able to learn from you for seven wonderful years.

[@mrmcbobby2659]

He died? That’s really sad, I never new him but always played and listen to his music

[@Hi_Jr]

wow so this is what it sounds like when the trumpet section isn't blasting in your ear!

Omg, I'm relating. I play flute, and like, we have hell to do. But the audience can't even hear us because the trumpet players behind me are blasting the fuck out of their instruments.

[@Ducky20x]

Shea and lei exactly I feel you on that part I play the flute as well

[@jessierosario4569]

Hi _Jr I feel u

[@luismeza5198]

i guess nobody like the trumpet 😞

[@zmanrockz6358]

Sorry guys, can't help it.

[@widogast]

this piece is hell for flutes :)))

[@LegitimatelyLogan]

Marie Loy it's pretty bad for the marimba too but I like fast pace songs so this is like my favorite song I've played next to a pirates adventure

[@graveripper1053]

Marie Loy probably the easiest thing ever for trombones( quarter note ------------------------quarter note--------------- and so on)

[@patrickfoit8261]

If you think this is hell, you don't want to hear some of the stuff my band plays, Arabesque is personally one of my favorites

[@meganyeoh1238]

Overall it's still ok but u need lungs of steel

[@mr.foxtrot1381]

I can't even begin to imagine that considering I am a low brass

[@DJBlackNGold]

... I hear saxes AND strings.. This pleases me GREATLY.

[@alanthierseorn]

same...i remember playing it with wind only, which sounded really good in itself, but the strings is like :O Amazing

[@jasminerebeckah2417]

I play sax

[@zetsumeixorishigami7352]

There are no saxes in this piece. The official score doesn't show any

[@DJBlackNGold]

Zetsumeix Orishigami You know there are multiple official scores to this right? Also 1:13 you can hear altos is you listen. They're faint but you can hear them.

[@alanthierseorn]

Exactly thank you Dylan McCormack

[@maciekpajak9299]

alright flutes...I'll give you this one

[@alaina184]

Yay lets go us flutes!

[@taylors6486]

FlapJack good this one was a hard one

I love how all the people in band come here to comment and are like, "Whoo, clarinets! Let's go flutes!!" It makes my day.

[@Ducky20x]

FlapJack Thank you, I'm paying going to play this one on my concert soon and I play the flute, hella hard at the start I mean I can play it and all but it's hard

[@Ducky20x]

I'm going to play this one*

[@danielrbsutton]

I like Robert W. Smith's music a lot. I like how the music starts off in a tumultuous way, then becomes more quiet and peaceful, and then returns for a tumultuous climax. This fits perfectly with "Into the Storm," giving us the imagery of a hurricane with a placid eye. I have noticed this style in other songs of his too, such as "The Great Locomotive Chase" and "Inchon." It is great!!

[@Cc0le45]

Yeah that's true. He made Encanto I think as well which I played, and this, and they have a similar idea

[@supercarrson100]

this is because, we’ll for this specific song, that in every storm there is an “eye” and in the eye is more peaceful than the outsides. it’s called into the storm because it’s rough, loud and all bad stuff at the beginning, then you reach the eye and it’s all good, then you leave and it’s the same as the first part. hope that makes sense.

[@akibird]

Ooo hes conducting us this year

[@IstanJoyandBiscuit]

Yeah I love him but his friends are hella bitches

[@kwabzycomposer]

You should listen to 'The Divine Comedy.' Easily Smith's best piece.

[@cinderblock8799]

I played this in middle school! I had the piccolo solo and my face turned bright red but I still nailed it. Good times....

[@DarkAdorableAlex]

Played this in highschool so fun

[@CryosXp]

As a trumpet player, I love how we actually fit into the melody perfectly, especially in the slower movements, and that solo is just…..amazing!

[@spookyxscully]

I'm addicted to this piece, we're playing it for full orchestra. Being second violin is actually quite fun. I also grew a new respect for band.

[@andygollihar4025]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Smith 🙏 One of the best

[@KaitlynElizabeth68]

I play the flute. Robert W. Smith is ultimately one of my favorite composers. Last year we played The Tempest as one of our songs, and this year we played one of the as The Great Locomotive Chase. I'd love to play this song.

[@apatheticangel5971]

There are so many comments about bass clarinets, and it's great. I have never seen or experienced so much support and love, and I am equal parts happy, proud, and amazed. About time the bass clarinets had a freaking important part, we're tired of whole notes and rests.

[@thedarksun2148]

Um, aren't you all commenting this video realising it's full orchestra, NOT concert band?

[@frankjuggaloheathen1035]

Right?! All these bass clarinet comments and I'm like "Can you not hear that it's clearly a BASSOON playing the duet in this arrangement?" 😅😅😅

[@eveningstardraws_]

this is gorgeous, i wanna play it with my concert band. the "eye of the hurricane" in this song is breathtaking.

[@eveningstardraws_]

one year later, my concert band director has picked this song for us to play ! im playing bass clarinet :)

[@bbjornst07]

That brass section at 2:09 just gives me chills. Don't argue, be happy you got to play or listen to this piece of music. You're a winner!

[@TheVideogamesfinest]

Yeah for most some the woodwinds have control over the slower sections while brass takes control of the fast sections. it's the complete opposite here.

[@kevinho257]

I like it, the trumpets sound beautiful.

[@aubrey4577]

Kevin Ho It’s actually a French horn

[@avabaker3568]

This song is so hard, yet so cool, my band class is currently playing this. We have been working on it for a long time and it is finally starting to really come together. We don’t play this fast tho, but pretty close. It’s really fun to play and I am so happy we get to play it!

Ah man, I loved playing this piece in band. I was first clarinet - and the ONLY first clarinet. My class literally had three clarinet players (including myself) at the time. Somehow we managed to outplay the other instruments.

[@jasminejones8722]

I played this in a high school band concert. It was kinda tough, but I really like this song.

I'm a 7th grade cellist. The music piece may look hard, but it's not impossible. This is the best piece I've played, and I've only been playing cello for 3 years. But wish me luck because I'm going to a college to perform in front of thousands of people including judges, in March.

[@maaaaaarrry]

I really love this piece. But if I have to say, my favorite measures are 90-105 , I love how the violins in my orchestra play their part beautifully, (kinda wants me to hire them to play at my wedding because it's that beautiful) and then with the cello's (me) part it blends well. And at 104 with the pick up, is just the best!!I also really like 22 to the second best of 42, I love how the cellos and violas combine their parts to make an intense beat. UGH IM IN LOVE WITH THIS PIECE!!! :'^))

Played lead trumpet for this piece in HS 26 years ago and it was my SHIIIT.. Still gives me chills and can still remember the taste of the brass from my horn.

Love this song! I'm in 8th grade and learning first trumpet. So easy and fun. Now if the sevies knew how to the high octave.

[@lordborat2735]

This piece was actually really fun to play despite having to sit through numerous rehearsals with that loud drum near my ear(lol). We actually performed the piece in the gym since the last piece of the concert involved all three grade levels(this was in middle school, last year), which ended up making it a real (sweaty!) exercise. That middle section was especially nice to play, overall a great piece.

Y'all talking about how you flutes and clarinets have it bad. Take a peak at the alto sax music! I had no idea my instrument trilled that high 😂

[@jeffjones7609]

+Christian Stacy AMEN! Alto sax, 6 years from 7th-12th grade. This piece will always be a beast.
