8:35 Horns!!! WHOOOOO! HHAHAHA! SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORK!

[@fortepiano4491]

I found this song last year while was I looking for Symphonic Suite but typed Overture for some reason? But that opening statement made me want to hear the whole piece. Needless to say, Barnes is now one of my favorite composers! My band director even let us play a song by him for MPA! (Variants on a Moravian Hymm). I love his whimsical and grandiose style of composing, and all of the instruments in his pieces have challenging but very enjoyable parts! An amazing work by an amazing composer!

[@Joseph-rg5ck]

the slow section is some of the most beautiful concert band music i have ever heard

[@Bootifulbouncybodacious]

This is one of the greatest pieces ever written😭😭😭

[@mmarakaki1]

Managed to find this beautiful song whilst searching for another Symphonic Overture by Charles Carter. I am amazed at TKWO`s musicality in this piece, and the main themes, as they beautify each other.

[@danielfranqueira8096]

6:49 to 7:57. I love this overture and the way James Barnes wrote the recapitulation

hermoso solo del saxo

[@TheBlueOctober]

We did this piece for our school symphonic band and it was much shorter than this, but essentially the same as far as key and melody. This is absolutely brilliant, by the way.

[@spencervoth5057]

we're playing this for our grade 12's graduation, I play clarinet and I have NO idea how I'm going to play that long run after the soft section.

最高の演奏ですね♪ バーンズの傑作と思います(個人的に)！演奏したことなかったけど、これを聴くと中学時代の吹部生活を思い出します（ ; ; ）

[@kylewtrhouse]

I played the tenor sax solo in college .... it was too short ... I wish I played alto that year! Love this arrangement!

Listening this in the toilet makes it a royal flush

[@MissyFlesky123]

I don't know why, but this kind of gives me Disney vibes. Anyone else?

[@RMNhobie]

It has a few places that sound like John Williams' music for "Superman". Maybe that's the Disney vibe you're experiencing...? :)

[@weavileoff0461]

It personally gives me big Hibike! Euphonium vibes

[@johnlime1469]

@@weavileoff0461 Well I mean...it's literally an anime about middle school or high school bands.

[@weavileoff0461]

It sounds like it definitely could be there: the style of music is very similar to Crescent Moon Dance, and the oboe and euphonium solos...

[@Dropboy80]

nothing could make tkws sound like a high school band

[@spablopablito]

I do not think it sound audio, tkwo is very professional in his recordings and many of them simply take away the applause. Not for nothing have 300 cds. As an example look at the link I put in the video description.

i wonder if the members of tkwo were also members of their highschool wind band.....

[@foodmore]

listen to symphonic overture by koninklijke militare kapel on the album Portait of James Barnes. It makes TKWO sound like a high school band.

[@Bootifulbouncybodacious]

I know you commented 12 years ago but put a sock in it bro, This band is world class

[@foodmore]

@@Bootifulbouncybodacious I love tokyo kosei too bro..... its probably my favourite wind orchestra. But for symphonic overture, you have to listen to KMK playing it. I have a copy of the recording on my channel if you scroll all the way down through my video. Listen to it and then judge again.

[@Bootifulbouncybodacious]

@@foodmore yeah I took a listen, I’m ngl their trumpets sound amazing and arguably a little better than Tkwo, but I think the woodwinds just knock it out of the park for me. Also, I think the recording audio for tkwo is a little better so the comparison might be unfair. Also, this is the only recording of symph. Overture I’ve ever really listened to so I’m definitely biased. Regardless, both of the renditions are amazing to listen to, thanks for the recommendation💪💪

[@pokershadow373]

4:48 french horn or euphonium?

[@Gonen_Orbach]

Euphonium

[@jerryrodriguez7881]

Euphonium!!! :)

[@landonasato1911]

Euphonium Boi.

[@daichan4177]

I'm a horn player but Euphonium sounds beautiful eh?

[@Belfreyite]

Euphonium! On the Toulouse offering, this Euphonium part is played by Helen Escriva, a really top-drawer musician.

[@trumpettromba]

Shouldn't be? Live should be.... or do you mean it was fined before uploading it? But I heard a Japanese trumpeter playing live... he did really play as fine as recording! Or maybe search some more videos about Toyko Wind Orch!!!

[@aidilzuhri]

This piece is so beautiful but i honestly didn't like the sound of the oboe harmonising the woodwinds starting from letter 7 and onwards plus with the cut time allegro vivo..

[@dpsg70]

Who is the composer for this work?

[@creamyasscheese9378]

James Barnes

[@trumpettromba]

I'm sorry but I think that recording is far too rough compare to Japanese's. And the sound and lines of Japanese is more fine and pure.

[@foodmore]

Japanese bands are technical excellent but it sounds very robotic. KMK's rendition is so much more powerful and dynamic. TKWO sounds like they are playing along with a metronome.

[@Belfreyite]

Agreed. Technically grand, but just a bit too fast in comparison to others.

they are both recorded sound aren't they? KMK is definitely better....

[@BaLangGa]

this is audio sound not real sound...

[@Indestructable61]

there is a player at our high school who plays alto sax who would just make the sax soloist in this song look bad

[@mubaraksenju7521]

bruhh...this is TKWO lmao
