I'm impressed by you guys singing at the beginning of the second movement, that's tough stuff.

[@Joyusnes]

And adds a lot - a great hymn little-known.

[@deborahkilmer6405]

Delightful! I’m so glad to have chanced on this today!

[@TerryWysocki]

Vividly recall playing percussion on this in HS band in 1965! Great job!

[@caleb4239]

We are playing it for our band right now.

[@gregoryronnback2756]

Beautiful, so singingly done.

[@donl.peterson8896]

Congrats on a GREAT performance!

[@chunkatronic]

C h i l l s from the unexpected choral rendition at the beginning of movement 2... amazing (and amazing performance in general)

[@andymilstenmusic8520]

So excited to play this at PMEA region V band next week!! 3rd cornet

The hall appears to be empty, yet I heard applause when the conductor appeared on stage.

About to preform this on Saturday for hs rn

Movement 2's beginning: "Round me falls the night; Savior, be my Light"

[@rubymars_xyz]

The audience loved it

[@Joyusnes]

Sydney Conservatorium of Music - Well done!

[@dharmanstortz4268]

Nice rendering. I like the choral introduction in the second movement: It's not usually done.

[@james_subosits]

When you say it's not usually done, do you mean that Persichetti intended for it to be done that way? I haven't heard any other recording that did this.

[@chunkatronic]

Been familiar with this symphony for a long time, but had no idea the melody of the 2nd movement was based on a hymn... the harmonies are definitely Persichetti's own, though. This was some serious creative liberty taken on the part of the ensemble/its director... I think it's incredible. Who knows what Persichetti would have thought. And who cares, really!

Inspirational performance! Love from Fairfield Warde High School in Fairfield, Connecticut

6:52 second movement singing

This piece is the *only* time I have seen tuba mutes deployed (15:30)

[@alexanderreikreik]

two girls for every boy intoned

[@osushi1366]

ええ！第２楽章の初っ端は合唱ですと・・・Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！　びっくりっ！

[@whistler_Mebi]

第２楽章は自作の合唱曲「夜のとばり我をつつむ」の流用なので、演出のために最初に加えたのでしょう。いい演出だと思います。

I think that xylo got lost in first mvt

[@bieglerpercussion]

The xylo player played the wrong notes at the allegro in movement I. Just thought it was funny for some reason.

[@shelleym6308]

That's what I thought, too, but then I started wondering if maybe there's been a reprint with a slight change? It didn't sound bad, necessarily, just different.
