SCORE STUDY EPISODE #16: VESUVIUS (Frank Ticheli)

[@extkd2405]

Omggg as soon as this song was about to hit the last note it stopped and played an ad and I’ve never been hurt so deeply in my life before XDDD

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

dude, i'm sorry...that sucks haha

[@KO_Salad]

The level of dedication and musicianship to put this together is beyond impressive for this piece, not to mention the numerous other pieces this has been done this for.

Drum Major! it's a me, kats lol, Hi 🅱

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Thank you, Cale! These take so much work but it's all worth it knowing there are lots of people like yourself that really enjoy these kinds of videos on KZbin

[@hazeldaniels1679]

I'd argue that manyyy of these themes derive themselves in part from the Dies Irae, even if the direct quotations are limited to one section of the piece for the most part One example is the 9/8 theme, which starts with a simple inversion of the first 5 notes of the dies irae, transposed to start on the tonic

[@kendallperry9247]

Would be really cool to see some Grainger- maybe Lincolnshire Posy?

[@JoeDFWAviation]

One of my favorite pieces. It's really cool to see the music written out like this, thank you so much! It helped me understand the different time signatures lol. I actually just watched this again and saw that the end was in 7/8 and not 9/8 and I was like whaaaaat lol. (I never played this but two of my sisters have.....my older sister played this when I was a freshman. I did sightread it once in percussion ensemble class since there's so many percussion parts)

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

You are awesome, dude. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

thanks! love Nintendo

and now i’m quaking, thank you for this

[@james_subosits]

Thank you so much for this, I've always loved this piece.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

glad you liked it, James.

[@Hottodoggu.]

Used to play this when I was like 13, now I know more about music I have already left the band, I really want to play this piece again😭

[@seansrcrazy]

i played this piece last year , definitely one of my favorites !

[@edgarvela9646]

Hands down one of my favorite pieces I ever played.

[@cameronplaystrumpet6777]

Viewing this daily for reference as I'm writing a similar piece. I have a ton of mixed meter/meter changes throughout, and there is no better example of making it work than this. Thank you so much for the dedication you put into this

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

so glad you're enjoying this, and getting a lot of use from it! Ticheli's music and his scoring are so accessible yet incredibly high-dimensional with his use of instrumental timbres and textures. I plan on doing his Blue Shades this year and if you'd like to help make more of these please take a moment to visit my patreon and consider making even the smallest contribution. Thanks a lot, Cameron!

[@cameronplaystrumpet6777]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic when I get a steady job again, I'd absolutely love to contribute. Personally I would love to see Angels in the Architecture eventually, but I guess I'll just have to join your patreon to help make it happen :)

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

sounds good! Angels would be cool too, someday...

[@blueangels111]

As my friends and I have said with this piece; you should get a math credit for playing it

[@spencerbuss]

I played 2nd chair trombone along with 1st chair on the 1st trombone part of this song for Dcmea county band this year, it was the most challenging yet fun song i have every played.

[@zackmaster79]

Can you do David maslanka give us this day

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

that piece gets requested a LOT actually, so definitely will consider

[@evans7665]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic Mother Earth by Maslanka might be a fun one as well

[@adamcollester2655]

Just wanted to point out that the tam-tam in measures 117-118 is actually a cymbal played on a timpani head! I played this piece about a year ago as the timpanist and I had to roll and cymbal on its dome while I moved the pedal; it created that ominous cymbal sound in the back, which I can see how it would be mistaken for a tam-tam.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

thanks for commenting, I'm aware of this technique its pretty cool. Listen to the very beginning of 'Raise the Roof' by Michael Dougherty -- it starts with the timpani soloist using the inverted cymbal on the 32' drum. I'm a percussionist also so I geek out for this kinda shit

[@adamcollester2655]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic LOL dude I always geek out over the slightest interesting percussion parts. I really like how this technique is used in Dougherty's piece!

[@canewilkerson2974]

Have you ever considered "First Suite in Eb"? What about non-band works like "Japanese Suite"?

[@zackmaster79]

Love this

[@itsamusicthing]

2:27 Just a small note, there are trombones as well as timpani and tuba here

[@benhaushalter5067]

Anyone else get stress when listening to this.

[@codykinderknecht]

I guess that’s the intent since it’s supposed to model a volcano erupting

[@robertridley9279]

Hard to believe I played this song in concert band (the 3rd band at my college) as a non-music major.

[@jessc2613]

That just started out of no where 🤠

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

That's what it do

[@michaelestrada2805]

Found this out trombone 1 at 95 plays the same thing as the woodwinds for 2 bars, very weird and hurt my lips a lot lol

[@spike6192]

I know this is very late, but i think in meazure 292, the temple blocks in the recording play 1 2 "and" instead of 1 and the "and" of 2

[@spaceguy9874]

Listen to this full song on the highest volume your headphones can take. Then, and only then, can you call yourself good with your ears.

[@emersonolson8850]

playing this for an honor band!

can you do this for Milhaud's Suite Française

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

eventually I hope too! if the series continues. The bigger pieces are harder to do as they take a very long time and as of now I'm just building my channel and gaining patrons slowly. If you'd like to help consider visiting patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic to chip in

[@opalessense]

Please do some of rossano galante’s work. My favorite is Aurora borealis. The band I was in was practicing it, but I left before we could perform it.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

@@opalessense I did ‘the redwoods’ if you saw that one! I know Rossano personally and I’m happy to feature his works on this series.

[@JacobMatthewss]

Could you do John Mackey Hymn to a Blue Hour

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

good one, but I have done a Mackey piece already kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5WUqoWmqtaBl6c

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

maybe a bit later down the line I'll get to it.

[@redredblood1]

Would you ever consider taking the time to Persichetti’s “Symphony for Band”? I know that would be a huge task

[@redredblood1]

And/or also John Mackey’s “Aurora Awakes”?

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Yes I’ve thought of doing the VP symphony as well as other larger pieces but I’m just not at the level of support I need to justify tackling these bigger projects.

[@benfleishman2944]

Sometime you should definitely do Havendance by Holslinger. Great piece that doesn’t get enough attention.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

I love that piece, we played it in my high school band and it has such a great rhythmic drive and very cool little melodies. I'll add it to the list of suggestions

[@justsomerandom4583]

one of these on blue shades would be hype

[@musicfriendly12]

The beginning of this piece is very good, but the other themes get very repetitive... Whatever, I'm going to write a piece like this for band with a different form, wish me luck.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

I agree, the other themes are too similar to the rest of the material so it isn't enough contrast to feel like something different. But he's a post-minimalist so it's all about making something very cohesive and like just riding a certain vibe the whole time. Good comment though, good luck in your composing, do share the results if you finish!
