The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Gr.4, Standridge)

Take a journey into the dark side in this thrilling new work by composer, Randall D. Standridge. War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death are illustrated in this dramatic suite for Wind Ensemble. A great choice for conductors who are looking to incorporate a multitude of styles, textures, tempi, and expressions into their next performance.

This would be a really cool boss soundtrack in game about fighting the 4 horsemen

[@DaveytheFurry]

Yea like in a game i think called Darksider that actually has them as bosses either that or Darksider II

This was one of my favourite pieces I ever played in band. I was a percussionist running between 5 or 6 different instruments, and it was so much fun.

[@jadenrichmond715]

i continue to come back to this piece, it wont let me go ;-;

[@Cyrotech]

This piece has to be one of my all time favorites, amazing work!

[@randallstandridge]

Thank you!

[@flutatious_music4]

I love the bassoon part! This is fantastic!

[@suzibikerbabe8073]

Omg the end of covid can't come soon enough, I want my band to play this!

[@adumbkidnamededdie6023]

I just recently found this through santa the barbarian while I was showing some family because I played both of them this year and I've been obsessed ever since I've had to have played it (Not on a instrument lol) over 20 times and I'm still as awestruck as ever.

[@HavenMata]

I loved playing this piece at band camp, it truly is a beautiful work of art.

Death with the royal entrance. This is the soul reason I wanna play Contrabass/Contraalto clarinet is HS

[@4Tbone]

Amazing! Totally thrilling and enthralling. (I only wish my band could handle this) Maybe one day.....the transition from the fast to slow part just had me stare up to the sky ..... The parallel 5th's with that haunting medley and harmony's OMG.... Yes the brass with their "Hindemith" statement. I live for those moments! Just wonderful.

my college has this thing for band students of any age to try out and make a band, (all you really had to do is play a note and you’d make it into a band) but i played through the whole try out and ended up in the top band with high grad students and juniors and seniors ( i just finished my freshman year in highschool) and we got to play this peice and put it together in a week, it was the funnest thing i’ve ever played yet probably the hardest thing i’ve ever played , it was so much fun tho and such an experience

[@graveswonthold]

Just listened to the ASU Band Camp Gold Band play this and it was amazing! My little sister is following in my footsteps playing the alto sax 😄 I remember playing Adrenaline Engine by Standridge when I was in high school, wish I’d gotten the chance to play this piece.
