The Ayres of Agincourt

By Richard Meyer
Just thought I would upload this because my school band is doing this song and I like it.

[@alecrobinson7124]

Clarinet 2 I still get this piece stuck in my head over a decade later

[@IvoryMelodies86]

2 decades for me, and same lol

[@-curtiscamp]

I also play this on clarinet 2

[@allycampbell8982]

Came here because i had the alto sax little "solo" bit stuck in my head... from 15 years ago

[@gottabekd]

I LOVE this song. i remember it from when i played in high school, i was first alto. this brings back so many good memories

[@allycampbell8982]

*high fives*

[@isoeparno]

2 years ago we played this song in my Symphonic Band class and this song was brutal for the clarinets

[@Nappyboyradio1119]

I just got accepted into my schools symphonic band and this was a culture shock

[@leahm10]

NOOO 😭😭 I looked up the recording hoping it'd be slow or easy.. I got part 1 (which is the highest and hardest usually), even though I wanted 3 😭 pray for me 🙏

[@allycampbell8982]

Can confirm. Not much better when i changed to alto sax!

[@leahm10]

Well, we just had our concert 2 days ago, and I did really good! The band director gave me another part 1 for our next set of music! Edit: We got 1st place in our performances!!

[@JMOVM]

this song is craaaazy for clarinets at around 4:30! but sooo so beautiful. best song we played in band!

[@TheLillyLOSERface]

I played lead trumpet as a freshman, As a graduate, i can say this was my favorite piece of music.

[@Yousufbholat95]

I love this song, but it is so amazing how perfectly they play it

[@madelinesialtsis7809]

tbh one of my favourite songs we ever did in band

[@RantReviewBabbleGame]

This whole song was a tuba solo for me... I was the only tuba for the whole band haha.

[@seanziegler477]

[@awsomeness100000]

[@elarapoiron5671]

[@noahgrunerud9890]

Elara Poiron that’s what the clarinets say. 1st trumpet is beautiful for this piece

[@leahm10]

I've got part 1. I wanted 3 😭 I need prayers 🙏

[@donutman098]

xylophone at the end is pure

[@owenstachowicz8992]

Almost passed out playing this song on first trumpet

[@MDkid1]

This song is so epic, we played it in my highschool band too. So many memories.

[@seanziegler477]

[@VerginixAbbyAirsoft]

I LOVE THOIS SONG! I AM DRUNK! And I loved it i was in band 3 years ago and we played it! it waws aWs,m

[@HimanXK]

Oboe plays a part that no one else ever plays at one point, and I had to listen to the song like 10 times to figure out how it sounds. But this is a great song.

[@juliathecrazyqueen5718]

omg same...the lonely islands of oboes

[@MrDragonedge]

This song rocks! I played in my senior concert band on trumpet, so epic!

[@LizRolston]

This was my FAVORITE song in high school band. Well done!

[@collingray7729]

This is so fun to play in band

[@LucianoClassicalGuitar]

fuck...everytime I listen to this song I feel like grabbing a few horses from gondor and start charging LOL

[@bv310]

Played this song in the middle of Prague with our band a few years back. Only time I ever enjoyed the French Horn.

[@kenkarsonn]

I feel like such a lucky guy... I'm dating this man's daughter. :)

[@mandapanda990]

Flute and just got the piccolo today for it! Love the little guy!

[@TheLillyLOSERface]

[@lohsiang24]

[@KungPaoChicks]

I was going to play this but the concert got canceled. :(

[@madeleinescarth9074]

[@Kdance013]

this is the guy who wrote my clarinet solo "Clarinetics" in 7th Grade!!! :) :) :) :)

[@perjutsu2936]

Clarinet part is insane lol

[@IvoryMelodies86]

it's in a friendly key though, at least.

[@-curtiscamp]

Its challenging but not impossible. I always get a kick out of playing it.

[@xXibemeXo]

HOW DO THE FLUTES DO THIS I GOT THE MUSIC YESTERDAY AND IM DYING

[@shaedcloak5803]

hah yeah the flutes in my band have a playing test on the hardest bars and they're complaining so hard

[@orianawood2575]

I bet it’s a memory you miss now

[@soapboxproduction]

4:50 most fun to playyy on flute omfgggg

[@luckyjames101]

I play the Oboe, Flute and some French Horn for this song God I love this song

[@Richard30006]

ah, did this for national kiwanis in highschool, first alto sax anyone?

[@yosup-bj9mk]

yo same

[@ilovetoplaytimpani]

Our band didn't have any French horns, and I play alto, so I played an alto/french horn hybrid part for festivals. It was so awesome. I love this song. +the second sax solo

[@xxAernaxx]

Clarinet eek. My school band just picked this up but I'm very excited to play it.

[@shaedcloak5803]

This was 6 years ago, but how'd it go?

[@PyromancerMusic]

If you're have the trouble where you slur F-Bb-F, with the little G-Eb-F after the high F, just hold down your Bb thumb key and play it all open except the Bb. Makes life so much easier in my opinion.

[@dolphinzrule477365]

This song is great, BUT IMPOSSIBLE FOR FLUTES!!!

[@kayleephillips9909]

the flute part will always get me :(((((

[@adissad]

haha me too - kiwanis festival were also doing British Isles Suite and Cyrus the Great

[@MyImmortalArwen223]

Exactly! But I love the part so much :)

[@MrDragonedge]

I just got this in band and I love it!

[@gom321123]

i played this in my middle school wind esemble

[@purple30haze12]

My school did this for Music fest and got gold :) good song

[@Tylendal242]

I love the part where the clarinets get to start playing the up and down bit. Made my lips hurt though.

[@decaf.depresso]

[@sarahst223]

[@IvoryMelodies86]

[@ethanolol3895]

Honor band-1st horn :)

[@Yousufbholat95]

GO FLUTES AND PICCOLOS

[@juannavarro2813]

When I was in 7th grade, one of my band mates bought the whole score and parts for this song because he wanted us to play. Obviously our band director knew we couldn't handle but the kid DID pay for it, so director let us try and it was bad lmao. Thankfully I got to play it couple years later

[@phoeberushton9845]

1st oboe!! Literally the youngest person in my band and the first and only oboe! The amount of pressure is unreal.

[@gcole2108]

Me too! Oboe player back in high school, was usually the only one (although one year another person played oboe, before dropping out due to pressure)! I always loved this song!

[@blibgreen8047]

how about that trombone transition eh?

[@thatedissikid]

I want to make this metal so badly

[@centershot828]

My band is doing this song, and 1812 overture in the same concert!

[@Yousufbholat95]

ps: Her nickname is little yamashiro

[@JeremySumpterLuver]

let's say measure 43 [or something like that...], YES you have to hear the flutes and clarinets. anyways, i don't want to argue, that was my opinion, that we have to hear these instruments more in this piece

[@Yousufbholat95]

yup

[@eleanorcerar6273]

I literally had to learn the ENTIRE mallet part in only five days, and I'm only a sophomore! That was hard, but I did it! Love the song, too!

[@colefrauzel7657]

+Mark Cerar Mallets here, too! (Except I had a couple weeks to learn it). Was a great song because it got me to play more quick things I couldn't play before.

[@trocksy]

This was three years ago, but wtv. I just switched to percussion this year and I'm playing mallets, WOW IT'S HARD

[@Yousufbholat95]

Well that explains alot. Did you see them?

[@ItsallaboutTrevor]

[@Fromage97]

[@nikkiAzn42]

[@megpeterson4587]

Trombones wooooo!

[@ChessdumyTV]

+Sorta Kinda Basic Trombones are beautiful. I play it. Trombone Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -The only band instrument that can properly play slurs! -Tune-friendly because of the slide -In jazz band, you get the privilege to swing it around :P -Simple, therefore easy to clean. Go trombones!

[@syruphi]

you mean glissandos, right? trombones can't slur without being horribly out of tune. also, clarinets can glissando

[@BadOpinionJuice]
