The flute solo gives the song a more calm feeling in the beginning, It better complements the clarinets sound. Music is like that, where if you don't like the sound of a certain section you tweak it to better fit you and the people who are interpreting the music.
@cj1lorenz it indeed was a level 500 gold win for us that year :) our conductor had always liked to take things a bit faster than usual, but we had eric come in and gust conduct at our band retreat! greatest memory of my life was when the clouds parted as the piece was reaching the climax when we were playing this at nationals :)
@Kazeraida oopsies, this is 2008, not 2005, haha! but all the same, carpenter (the conductor) likes taking things fast. and I think it was a 600 level win in 2008.
Maybe it was the recording device but it sounded like there were major tuning problems. Also as soon as I heard a flute playing the oboe solo I knew I wasn't going to like it. The person playing the euphonium solo needs to add more musicality. That person made the solo very stiff and it sounded like a robot was playing it.
Yikes Gang - there is SO MUCH music in this piece. Where is the phrase direction...the rubato.....the sensitivity that the composition screams for? Remember that we can get a machine to reproduce notes and rhythms, but it takes living, breathing, thinking, FEELING human beings to make MUSIC. Perhaps this was not a good repertoire choice for the group, especially with the missing soloists and general difficulty with playing soft.......
Well, that explains why they're so AMAZINGLY TALTENTED.
