Music score composition maybe. But definitely not composition in general. Especially considering how much of the Star Wars score is essentially just The Planets.
@@Mrs.Magix58 you are retard, there is some similarity in the holts planets, specially Marsh, but not even close to the entire starwars music composition.
I’ve been listening to some of his arrangements (mostly this and Jurassic World) and they are some of the most faithful arrangements I’ve ever seen. I wish more arrangers were faithful to the original scores (looking right at you, Michael Brown).
I had the absolute pleasure of playing the bass clarinet part for this piece as the finale of my last concert in high school. While I do miss it, I’ve moved on to bigger and better things in life.
As a euph player, I love checking who's part I'm playing with, and in this arrangement, I love playing with different instruments at different times like the Tenor Sax, Trombone, Tuba, and even Horn! Great arrangement!
+worst maymays +jonesy s That's the best part of playing the euphonium in my opinion. You get to play solos, rhythm parts with the lows, chord parts with the trombones/horns, and runs with the other woodwinds. All in the same piece!
And bassoon! I play both bassoon and euphonium and they play the same role in concert band, to play counter melody and bridge the gap between tenor and bass
My mind is blown! I only just realised that this is literally just an abridged version of The Jedi Steps + Finale! Now I understand where that 5/8 piece came from, because I always thought that part corresponded to one particular song. Kinda wish there was a song that was just that theme tho

If French horns don't have that beginning melody, I don't think the arranger did this piece justice. Horns have a very iconic sound with John Williams' music and I think it was an important factor that was left out.
in 2019 of my sophomore year we were having a concert with so much good pieces including this and we never got to perform it, including the concert my junior year because of covid and I don’t think I’ll ever heal from that. I know it’s probably stupid but I will probably never have the chance to perform this, or just concerts again
+Thetony444 The Sorcerer's Apprentice is grade 6. Also in some states the grade only goes up to 5 on their lists. So a grade 6 piece could be thrown in the grade 5 list. Annnnnd the highest grade level is 6. Here in Louisiana, grade 5 is the highest we play but we play grade 6 pieces included in the grade 5 list. Source: I'm a tubist, been playing for 13 years, I play in a community band that regularly plays grade 4 and grade 5/6 pieces. P.S.: One has not suffered until they play The Sacred Flame.
I'm in Virginia, some grade 6 pieces we've played are Blue Shades (Frank Ticheli), Armenian Dances (Alfred Reed), Variations on a Theme of Robert Schumann (Robert Jager), Third Suite (Robert Jager), Second Suite in F (Gustav Holst), First Suite in Eb (Gustav Holst), Slavyanskaya (Boris Kozhenikov), Lincolnshire Posy (Percy Grainger)... Those are all the ones I can think of right now. As you can see, there is a pretty huge difficulty range, with First Suite in Eb and Third Suite being relatively easy, but Blue Shades being very difficult.
There's the tempo marking 'With Utmost Force' somewhere on there, well done Bocook! As well as the 'Hn. Solo' cue *applauds* Also, this is a fitting piece to celebrate Star Wars Day with! May the Fourth be with you :P
Call me biased, but why are most of the horn licks from the movie duplicated in the saxophones? While I would expect this for grade 3 and lower, there are 4 Horn Parts scored.
We just got this for our winter concert and since I play flute, I usually receive the melody and this song is a nice change of pace! Although the parts the flutes have differ from each other slightly and the song is in 12/8 mostly and that makes me cringe since I play by ear mostly. After almost 7 years of playing, I still play by ear and memorize the music instead of actually reading what is written on my paper 24/7. It drives my band teacher crazy so he put me in a second music class for percussion pieces and our drumline (which I've been a member of all highschool). So while I can double on percussion, I get told to focus on my main instrument(s) first and foremost.
I played this in 7th grade, and it was so bad, but oh my gosh the memories.😂😆😊 But this song and arrangement is amazing. I think TFA had the best score in Star Wars, or it at least has stood out the most to me. TLJ felt like a copy of TFA. Like I get it with the fanfares and leitmotifs and all that, but it just felt watered down, if that makes sense. Nevermind, anyway, I like this and miss it, lol.😂😆😊
I love what Hal Leonard did at the very end. For those who don't know, the Original Trilogy had this classic long note play at the very end of the credits. You may know what I'm talking about, that: "Deeeee-dah-dah-duuuum-duuuh-duuuuh-duuuuum-de-de-deeeeeeeh-deeeeeeh-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM" at the end. The original credits for Force Awakens sadly did not have this at the end, since the sounds of the music just get quieter and then slowly fade away like with many other films. Which sucks because at the end of the credits, it seems as if the musical scores are leading to that note. Hal Leonard Concert Band here, made sure to include that long lasting note.
Just in case you didn't get told, they're called "grace notes". They're basically faster notes that should be played before the following note. I'm not sure of the exact reason they were invented, but I'm assuming it's because you don't want to see 64th notes or a sort. In this case, you play them about a 16th note speed as the count of "+ a" of 4 (in the style of 4e+a counting).

@@Mrs.Magix58not enough people know that, and it’s kinda sad.
Gotta love the March of the resistance imo best piece out of the whole movie.
+Epic Gaming Also the hardest one to actually play.
id argue that would be the x-wing scherzo
Its surprisingly easy on trumpet like as a solo
+KyKenobi YES!!!! Especially the tuba part!!!
It wouldn't be the best, but it is awesome and I love it too!
5:30 the low voices give me chills right there
Sarah Lang "low voices" means lower pitch instruments aka low brass
Same here
Isabela Moore and woodwinds... We are just as important
Hello, a tuba here. It's a pleasure to play this :)
@@isabelamoore337 and low woodwinds, bari and bass clari etc
I have the absolute pleasure of studying orchestration with Jay Bocook! He's such a chill guy, and a master arranger.
I’ve been listening to some of his arrangements (mostly this and Jurassic World) and they are some of the most faithful arrangements I’ve ever seen. I wish more arrangers were faithful to the original scores (looking right at you, Michael Brown).
@@killert_7759Yes! This and Jurassic World are the two that are the best! 🎉
Nobody:
John Williams: Random Horn solo
Love the saxophone solo at 2:45
StatiK I SnakE Oh yeeeesss
2:09-2:20 Is torture for any woodwind Don't care how good you are, it hurts to move your fingers that fast.
the key signature also is hard
I agree, I'm having to play this and it's hard as hell
That's why it's hocketed after the first two measures.
I'm playing this in my high school band. It's soooo cool! The 3/4 5/8 switch though is super hard!!
+Laura C Not on Alto/French Horn c;
+GoldenStar Music - Music & Tutorials do you play horn?
+Will Courington Yep!
+GoldenStar Music - Music & Tutorials nice, me too!
+Will Courington Sweet! You doing this piece?
Euph solo is dope
ya buddy! #Euph
+BrickLogicStudios truly
What time?
+IIIIIIIIII111 0:17 after the first 5 measures (4/4 time)
+pielover13598 more like 0:19 I guess
We played this for our end of year concert on May 5th. I love this song!!
Shame it’s not on may 4th
I had the absolute pleasure of playing the bass clarinet part for this piece as the finale of my last concert in high school. While I do miss it, I’ve moved on to bigger and better things in life.
No matter what film John Williams composes for, no matter if it’s good or bad we still can agree the film score is godlike
My band at school is getting ready to play this at my final concert next Thursday before I graduate. I'm so hyped!
Any horns around? You know a piece rocks when horns are feature just as much as trumpets
hi alec is me Andrew
+Alec Mock ikr
+Alec Mock Horn here. Funnest piece I've ever played.
Goes to High A a few times tho 😬
Horn here, we're playing it right now. Williams is a huge fan of the Horn, which is great.
I'm playing this in band. It's so good!
So am I !
+Dave “the” Wave Hey, us too
Congratulations, sounds great
when you get chills :)
why would anyone dislike this music?!?!?! if they don't like it..... well..... don't LIKE.
KobiRuckus or dislike ;)
We're playing this for our final concert! Thank you, whoever told our BD to let us do this
As a euph player, I love checking who's part I'm playing with, and in this arrangement, I love playing with different instruments at different times like the Tenor Sax, Trombone, Tuba, and even Horn! Great arrangement!
Just great instrument overall, I fail to find one Euphonium part that's not fun.
+worst maymays +jonesy s That's the best part of playing the euphonium in my opinion. You get to play solos, rhythm parts with the lows, chord parts with the trombones/horns, and runs with the other woodwinds. All in the same piece!
And bassoon! I play both bassoon and euphonium and they play the same role in concert band, to play counter melody and bridge the gap between tenor and bass
Playing this and I'm a trumpet. A lot of these parts a wicked cool!!!
I'm probably spend 80% of my time on those damn sixteenth notes for clarinet at 42 lol
yep
I relate so much
Worst part, but the rest is great
I feel the pain
I really loved that Horn and alto sax part in the ending!
My mind is blown! I only just realised that this is literally just an abridged version of The Jedi Steps + Finale!
Now I understand where that 5/8 piece came from, because I always thought that part corresponded to one particular song. Kinda wish there was a song that was just that theme tho
We just got this piece in band. Absolutely love it!
Good arrangement! Nicely orchestrated and great use of the different instrumental colors and textures for the available ensemble!
That clarinet at the beginning tho
Darth Lttl that’s a flute bud
OutdatedSign142 you’re stupid lol
i can see woodwind players crying
I would find it fun😂😂😂😂 (Clarinet player)
Athrun Yong why?
woodwind parts aren't bad at all. Horn is where it's absolutely nuts lmao
Athrun Yong same
I'm a woodwind and tbh this piece was not hard to play at all 😂
I'm getting the euphonium solo! :)
Maka Albarn same
Rafe Adler Rafe!
Even without strings, it still sounds pretty good.
we're playing this with the upper level band of my school (im in the lower one, aka freshman band) and its so fun!
Same! Lol
1:18 you got to love love ESSENCE OF THE FRENCH HORN
OMG this is amazing
Love the trumpet solo
3:17 is pure power
The TRUMPETS are amazing
And another brilliant work by John Williams, who is, without overstating, one of, if not the, greatest composer of our time.
playing this for my last senior concert🙏pray for our freshman
We played this last night at our concert and the chills I got from low brass. HOLY LAWD.
this was actually a lot of fun playing. i was second flute and it was so much fun. it was hard at first but once you get it, its the best
My band's playing this now! It's awesome!

It's the Euphonium that does the beginning piece, but I guess you could substitute it for a horn.
i need to give yall mad props!
I'm here on May the Fourth be with you day... so fitting. is anybody else here on the same date?

I wouldn't mind trying this out. Doesn't seem too out of my range.
AwesomeFriends56 Gaming our band sight reads level 4 music and play level 6 and sometimes 5
Ours play level 6+ and sights level 5s ;) We're a high school band as well.
Andy never seen a grade 6 piece, can you give an example
+Thetony444 The Sorcerer's Apprentice is grade 6. Also in some states the grade only goes up to 5 on their lists. So a grade 6 piece could be thrown in the grade 5 list.

French horn and the TRUMPET play really good together

Love playing the 1st horn part
PLAYING THIS IN MY EIGHT GRADE BAND FOR OUR CONCERT!!! WE JUST SIGHTREAD IT TODAY!! IT'S SOOOO FUN!
LOL YES
+Grace Sun oh my god I have like severe PTSD from pulse
Lol
So do we
Lucky, I have a highschool band and they are probably too trash to play this.
played it this year. i thought the arranger left out important parts like the build up to 6:11 and the repetition of that. still fun to play
1:48-2:01 got me not realizing tge low brass/reeds played the iconic part of this score
love that horn solo at 3:50
Turner Sugg It's a soli with the altos lol
Hn. Solo
Actually, the Alto Saxes play that part with the Horns
cant wait to play this tommorow at showcase
I love that this song has a baritone solo instead of a trombone solo when beginning. It’s a very welcome change. :)
Call me biased, but why are most of the horn licks from the movie duplicated in the saxophones? While I would expect this for grade 3 and lower, there are 4 Horn Parts scored.
I still come back to listen to 5:06 every time I need a mood boost.
1:51 ROLL CREDITS
That's what I thought. That should have been the ending.
Republican Teen it was the ending..
OppressedDuck They ment the end of the SONG. not da movie😂😂😂
There's 66 comments it's time for order 66
dont like the order but i like what you are thinking
Nearly 66 likes
Do it.
More like 66k subs take away the k and you got a heck of an order am i right
First clarinet part for this is dope
& difficult lol
For real, it has me dead bro 😭😭
will always love star wars.

its good to have a break from main melody and listen to the horns lol. i play trumpet
you know this piece is gonna be hard once you see there's a bassoon 1 and 2
Are the horns breathing? What is their lung capacity?
same I'm playing it to on horn and I get the solo parts I love it
anytime I hear john williams music o seriously get chills
I played this in 7th grade, and it was so bad, but oh my gosh the memories.😂😆😊

Amazing. Simply amazing. I would love to play this. I'm a bari sax. Anyone else?
First Star Wars piece I’m playing in my band, freakin hyped! Also any alto sax peeps in here?
My one problem with this performance is at @4:16, where it's marked largamente in 8, which is definitely not what you hear.
I play tuba and we are playing this for band... Freaking awesome low brass part!
im also a tuba and I looovvveeee these parts
+Angel Campos angellll its ur father omgggggg

Live My Legacy I played this song freshman year at kennesaw
I'm playing this my freshman year and I'm a trombone :D
ok, i'm a horn player i just cried
i love star wars😍😍❣️
i love 2:14 😭 (piccolo player :) )
The first time I saw this as the first Bassoon part I said to my band director You want me to do what?!
OMG ME WHEN I GOT THE MUSIC FOR MY BAND....THOSE RUNS ARE NOT FOR THE BASSOON LOL
Emma Windsor Glad I switched this year and not last year lol- The Inferno by Robert w. Smith is no better though!
We played the other ending and it sounded way cooler than this one
finnaly altos get the main theme part
the nostalgia for playing this in band
5:08 When the American troops arrived on the Western Front, 1917.
Yes that is very accurate
What’s the theme at 1:18 called?
I think it's just called The Force theme, or something like that.
Say what you will about the new Star Wars movies, but the scores are 🔥🔥🔥
Rip to all Wooden Player (including me, im a clarinetist)
I love what Hal Leonard did at the very end. For those who don't know, the Original Trilogy had this classic long note play at the very end of the credits. You may know what I'm talking about, that:
"Deeeee-dah-dah-duuuum-duuuh-duuuuh-duuuuum-de-de-deeeeeeeh-deeeeeeh-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM" at the end.

Great way of describing that ending lol
might play this for pops concert this year
+Cristina Collaros We're doing it here too for our Pops concert.
1:18 melhor parte da música
what are those 2 little eights notes at 3:13??
Just in case you didn't get told, they're called "grace notes". They're basically faster notes that should be played before the following note. I'm not sure of the exact reason they were invented, but I'm assuming it's because you don't want to see 64th notes or a sort. In this case, you play them about a 16th note speed as the count of "+ a" of 4 (in the style of 4e+a counting).
love star warslove this song
I tried playing measure 42 on my clarinet and I completely failed :(
Chris C I'm a clarinet too and it's pretty difficult at 42, our director is going for 120bpm and I can only get it to 109
2:38 - 3:10 gave me goosebumps
What song is 3:57?
Freshly Squeezed A e s t h e t i c s Kylo Ren’s theme. It’s my personal favorite, being a horn player
Tuba
A FELLOW TUBA PLAYER!!!!!!
Tuba here as well, played this at our community band Spring concert.
I play tuba :)
Tuba for life
I play horn
Wrong Key change at 3:18. It goes to C minor and needs to go to C# minor
Song at 6:00?
March of the Resistance
