Yumiweeus
By Richard Meyer
Item: 00-46714
Series: Highland/Etling String Orchestra
Category: String Orchestra
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
Level: 4
This joyful and jubilant piece by Richard Meyer has the sound of a celebration and a title that describes how music unites us all: "Yumiweeus." Hand drumming and a simple chant-like melody start the festivities, followed by an original theme and a set of six variations. Duets featuring the first stand players of every section introduce the first five variations, and a virtuosic final variation closes the piece. The changing meters and variety of key signatures and modes included here are sure to challenge all of your more advanced players. The measure of contrary motion that starts the piece is heard again between each variation and is meant to represent a "coming together to common ground."

[@mtheblepalopYT]

it took me WAY to long to realize it's supposed to be "You, Me, We, Us" and not just "yumiweeus" JUST CALL IT THAT, RICHARD--

[@DirectorOmicron]

I like the viola solo.

[@irismeyer9143]

Yeah! I don’t even play the viola but I love it! It kind of reminds me of inverno.

[@amarismilano845]

1:42 is the best solo part out of all this song

[@oliviamintz8149]

Yes, definitely!!

[@aminecrafter9962]

No its cello solo

[@aminecrafter9962]

[@drewmackey3789]

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

8/8 is fun

[@JacksonHollo]

@@WillTheBassPlayer you mean 1

[@shadowcween7890]

it's supposed to be read like a cut off 9/8

[@chaselikesgravityfalls6859]

its beacuse the counting and conducting is supposed to be in that pattern

[@ConversationswithRei]

The only reason I’m here is bc of all region lol

[@Armada-1935]

I love the cello solo, the chambers orchestra here at my school plays this, they’ve got a guy, I swear he’s a prodigy or something, he can do the cello solo so well it puts the rest of us to shame. Edit: 3 months later and I’ve started learning to play this piece, I can do the solo, but I prefer doing the second part rather than first

[@jacisonrisa9028]

I play this song with my orchestra at school and my fried plays the top part of the viola part

[@K1tchenUtensils]

I remember the day we got out music passed out. The horrified looks on the violins faces brightened my mood (I’m a cellist)

[@BlueBlueberries]

No way, we got this music passed out to us a week or two ago too. I’m a violinist and I was like “Aw hell nah ☠️”

[@Armada-1935]

Cellos forever!

[@minefan7]

a 3+3+2/8 time signature? why didn't i see this in Mantras?!?! 😡/j

[@Armada-1935]

It’s basically 8 8th notes per measure

[@bearburrito9520]

I love this song! My Orchestra is playing it and I absolutely love it!!!

[@DirectorOmicron]

I play the violin.

[@actionthekat]

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT TIME SIGNATURE 3•3•2/8😃😃😃😃😃

[@shadowcween7890]

It's like 8/8 but trying to express that it sounds like 9/8 with a missing beat

[@Armada-1935]

@@shadowcween7890 doesn’t help lol, i can do 4/4, 3/4, 3/8, 2/4 but not 3-3-2/8 😂
