@@talonmcpherson8445 bro at least you got to play it. Our class just straight dropped it. I would practice it but its never the same as hearing it with everyone
Our class voted for which piece to play after sightreading each of them. There were ten, and this piece won even though it was by far the hardest piece mostly because us lower strings (Violists, cellists, bassists) were tired of not getting good parts. We haven't gotten far with it yet (literally one rehearsal + sightreading) and still have three months to rehearse it, but so far it's not going that great lol. I'm doubtful that our viola section (self included) will be able to make it without some intense practice. Luckily most of us seem willing to put in the effort. The first violins seemed willing to practice, especially w/ winter break coming up, and the rest of the lower strings are pretty enthusiastic about finally getting a good piece. Of course, there are still the second violins... Hopefully they won't drag us down.
This is legit one of my favorite pieces I've ever played for school. It's so refreshing as a cello to get a piece that's actually slightly challenging instead of just playing the same note for measures on end. This is such a nice piece to listen to.
The best high school orchestra piece of all time. Not only is it a difficult piece in ways that other pieces aren't, but the piece itself is an absolute banger the whole way through and gives every part at least some time in the spotlight. We tried playing this throughout my time in high school but couldn't put it together until my senior year, and while we've played some fun pieces, this one has stuck out to me more than any other piece we've played. Shoutout to mhchs
i played this song in seventh grade as a violist and looved it.. the good thing about meyer's pieces is that they are not violin-centered, and feature all the instruments in different sections.
@@Alice-gr1kb Ms. Soon Hee Newbold and her music is amazing, she needs to make more of her pieces. Right now, I think she is doing acting if I'm not mistaken.
Richard Meyer is a prodigy. I am a cellist and a composer too. I have played his composition Night Shift in a concert. It was fun. I have had one of my compositions preformed in a concert by my school Orchestra. Good job too him.
I love this piece Richard Mayer is an amazing composer in fact my class has come up with a theory about this piece. We think that this sort of represents a walk through a graveyard specifically the gravestones of each of Bach’s Brandenburg‘s and then my teacher interpreted that every time the bass has a solo it’s a little transition to each of the grave stones so we thought that was kind of cool which does help us perform this piece better. Overall, amazing...just perfect.
I love this song so much. It was the first grade 4 song I've ever played. I started practicing it in 6th grade, and I am in 7th grade now. I wish we we could play it in one of our concerts! If only everyone else could play it haha
i've played a lot of meyer's songs in the past such as joust and dragonhunter (both pretty easy) and this one sounds fun. maybe i'll reccomend it to my orchestra teacher.
ooohh yeah we’re learning it in orchestra and it’s pretty difficult although I’m a cello so it depends but after a while you get a hang of it and it becomes better
Fucking kill me, my orchestra is learning this and 2:47 to 3:44 is balls hard. My section can't play this at tempo and when slowing it down just a little only 3 of us out of 11 can play this
we have ONE (1) BASS in our orchestra so he’s soloing all of this, and he overpowers the 6 cellos. he’s awesome at it. also the section at 1:51 was PAIN to learn (violist here) but i practiced it so much it aggravated me but now its basically muscle memory 😭) we’re playing 2 other pieces with this one and my arm is so tired after this lol
Had to play this in my schools chamber as the solo bass, first concert of the year and my first year playing bass. Played it well enough the conductor cued a small applause and gave me the look, and of course it being the most complicated part of the solo and having lots of clapping I flubbed it. Fortunately no one noticed however
Flashbacks to playing the bass section half speed at concert because our basses were so bad 😂. Us violas weren’t great either tbh, but in the end it sounded awesome anyway. We had SOLID cellos and violins. Even seconds
Lots of orchestras will mess up on counting because there are habits of counting with the bow. Violins and sometimes our basses don't count for anything... Our cellos do what they're supposed to do: FOLLOW THE CONDUCTOR
@@Alice-gr1kb oof. I know how it feels and worse because i had to keep on directing the only other viola along the song while playing two viola's worth of sound
I love this piece so much,the bass part sounds beautiful but only one guy plays bass😅 as I play second violin Im quite jealous of the first violins part
7:18 ah yes, the part that my orchestra affectionately referred to as the "headbang section" that we had SUCH trouble not speeding up violently at every time we got into it lmao!!!
0:36 And this is where the second violins in our orchestra promptly and collectively lost it
99% of problems come from a lack of counting
In my school, this would be where my teacher would stop the class before they even attempt it
Fiyah Byrde umm no bc they’re all 16th notes..
Oof
Wait for real? That was the only part we could play lol
who else had lazy peers who didnt practice so we couldnt play this banger?
We had to postpone this piece for 2 concerts before we were barely ready.

@@aquila6005 i wish we got to vote for what pieces we get to play cuz no offense to my music teacher but he has terrible taste in music xD
I do, but I am still gonna recommend it lol!

Just like Pachelbel canon. It was so boring for cellos and bass
@@lilbank7257 oh god we played that piece too, thank god our teacher gave us the third violin part
Same with bass tho fr
My class had a playing test at 8:01 to the end and my teacher gave us all zeros 💀💀
OOF
i miss orchestra. i played this song my sophomore year of high school.
This piece makes me want to good back to my orchestra group :...(
AnneMarie Dollanganger ey I'm playing it sophomore year now
Owenrobot me tooo😂
Sophomore year? I played this in 8th grade.
@@syqo1573 same!
I love hearing some of the original brandonburgs but in a twisted way.

Meyer is a god among men. So many good compositions.
DragonThighs lol i literally have met him at my allstate orchestra. he was my composer and i have his autograph and a photo with him
I know, right?
AMOGDUS??
@poopguy 34
No.
Basses have lots of good parts in this piece
i feel lucky for you
I know right I love it
Lucky us
We so lucky
I played it in 7th grade, I had to actually practice the bass part for once

Xavier Santiago oh I didn’t even know that
I definitely agree with that statement. I often get sick of the violins having the melody. Cause I'm a cellist.
i played it in 4th grade
5:39 - 6:30
Sightreading this was an absolute NIGHTMARE
Why you sightreading 💀
I love this song
Piece
I agree.
Piece...a song is spoken
We play this in my orchestra and its fun to listen to. Good song!
Strategicgamer035 same here, its funny to remember how my partner during freshman year would get so stressed over it.
Piece
Its a piece
This is literally all the music I listen to. Love this channel because we get the good quality playing instead of screechy players (in other videos).
I love how if feels like Brandenburg concerto while feeling a little emptier, like a ghost 🤔

Dude this guy was one of my earlier teachers.
Wat
LUCKY
THE Richard Meyer?
LUCKY
wOW!
I love this song so much. It was the first grade 4 song I've ever played. I started practicing it in 6th grade, and I am in 7th grade now. I wish we we could play it in one of our concerts! If only everyone else could play it haha
I feel you
I wish my orchestra had really passionate players like you 😔
Piece
Noah White-Telles 😂 yeah I didn’t know back then
Im a cello and this piece is so fun but the 7/8ths time signatures are a little tricky.
Asymmetric tingz
were all cellos, no longer humans
That you so much, so many people call it a song
That part is tricky (not a cello player tho)
This is one of my favorite songs that I have played
Just played this in my concert and we won the competition, this was my favorite song we played. ❤❤
This is the first time I’ve heard this and I love it
I'm extremely late but *oh my god* this piece is so fun to play
i know right haha dab on em!
YAAAASSSSS RICHARD SLAYY MYER
i've played a lot of meyer's songs in the past such as joust and dragonhunter (both pretty easy) and this one sounds fun. maybe i'll reccomend it to my orchestra teacher.
Payton L this piece is actually very hard so be ready for a challenge. It has a theme in 7/8 so lots of sub dividing.
ooohh yeah we’re learning it in orchestra and it’s pretty difficult although I’m a cello so it depends but after a while you get a hang of it and it becomes better
Wow I don't even remember making this comment lol but yeah it sounds too challenging for my sucky middle school orchestra lol
I love medevial wars
ClassicalHD around 2:08 right?

I showed my conductor this recording and she instantly wanted to know where to buy it!
This song makes me smile 😃
Piece
My bad.
2nd violins never get to be a big part of the pieces like other instruments...but when we do holy crap do we regret complaining about it
I love this. The Brandenburg concerts were awesome
Using this to get ready for seating auditions coming up. It's nice I can speed it up and slow it down
lol are you in wichita youth orchestras because me too
@@isabella-qb5uq yeah! good luck on auditions, they're coming up really soon!

One of my fav pieces I’ve ever played.
Meyer knows what’s up dude
As a viola player, 7:20 to the end was so much fun to play
i dont like you
The bass get the best part here
5:20 Is my favorite section of the piece.
Playing this piece in 2 weeks for my fall concert! I play 1st violin in this.
Had to play this in my schools chamber as the solo bass, first concert of the year and my first year playing bass.

The LavenderCapricorn our seconds play way too quiet and unconfident. And then I’m the 1-man viola section
@@Alice-gr1kb Your viola section must be amazing then.
Tori Parrotti it is thankfully.
@@Alice-gr1kb oof. I know how it feels and worse because i had to keep on directing the only other viola along the song while playing two viola's worth of sound

We failed at the pizz at 132.
