we'll be playing this August 2014... and we're already rehearsing it as early as first week of March! hahaha... hope we would be able to play it like this....
It's so difficult for me to pull off this ppp chime part in the finale... I have to be so gentle... Which is pretty difficult for me - considering my forte is more - well, forte marching percussion.
***** But the great thing of this peace is exactly this.. One moment extreme fort and two seconds later we are in a absolute piano. That makes this peace so interesting. But I can imagine, that this is quite hard to play. P.S. Drummers are the best :D
quite possible. one of Sparke's favorite composers is Shostakovitch. and one of his favorite pieces is The Rite of Spring. So it is possible that Sparke was paying a somewhat homage to Shostakovitch.
are you kidding me? The Rite of Spring was written by STRAVINSKY. Don't tell me that you got confused between the two because they are pretty distinct from one another...
no, but i do see how you could think i was saying that. that was poor word choice on my part. i was stating that Shostakovitch was one of his favorite composers and one of his favorite pieces was the rite of spring by Stravinsky. I then restated that Shostakovitch was one of his favorite composers. sorry for the confusion.
It's very good, but give me the original Brass Band version every time. There's much more depth to the sound when played by a brass band, and the interlude loses so much when not played on trombone.
Brilliantly played piece of wonderful music but the solo in the middle movement should be played on the Trombone as it is in the Brass Band version, since in this case , a brass intsrument is clearly more suitable for this role than a woodwind intsrument!
6:05個人的に音楽人生で一番愛したフレーズ。
後にも先にもこんな思い入れのあるフレーズはないです。ドラゴンの年、最高です。
such an underrated piece. mvt 2 is one of the most beautiful sections of music ive ever heard
7:15. I haven't played or heard that euphonium counter-melody in 23 years, and I can still hum every note...
Can you tell me where the 1000's of band director's are out there listening to this?
Uh, what?
@906Josh Dude same. I played this at Interlochen in 1999 and just remembered it. Good memories.
Hey guys, this is a good rendition of the Pear of the Dragon 😊
0:00 Toccata
3:10 Interlude
9:56 Finale
This is rather interesting, and I like it! I love the energy of the first & third movements.
And that second movement... mmph... 6:05, doe.
Sounds very clean. It makes for great background music.
Who is the conductor？

Such a nice piece. I would love to play it someday.
It is nice isn't it

@@7BlackBoo currently marching the show,ill send you a link of the whole thing a month from now
Anyone else hearing the direct quotes from Shostakovich's 5th in the bassoon section starting at 11:57, and especially at 12:38
Lot of cool colours here MR. Sparke!
I hear some Copland, Billy the Kid and Gershwin American in Paris. What a great band this is!
This is tokyo kosei one of the besg wind ensembles there is out there
played this for marching band one year before I came sounds great
i never played it but my upperclassmen sounded great
Looking at the pdf, I thought it was easy and couldn't be a grade 5 piece...until I reached the finale, boy I was wrong
9:56

Did you know that the Cadets played this piece in 1997? You should check that out!
quite possible. one of Sparke's favorite composers is Shostakovitch. and one of his favorite pieces is The Rite of Spring. So it is possible that Sparke was paying a somewhat homage to Shostakovitch.
especially in the third movement
are you kidding me? The Rite of Spring was written by STRAVINSKY. Don't tell me that you got confused between the two because they are pretty distinct from one another...
D'accord!
Why when my band teacher put this on I instantly thought of a person running in a war zone.
Dont question why cause idk too
Al minut 9:58 ve lo bo, es genial
Damn

2:45 Sounds like Angels in the Architecture by Ticheli :) Both awesome peices
Already played, awesome pieces👌🏼
Relaxed, I only wanted know your point of view.

tragic tuning on english horn solo

The best version of this piece was that played by the Cadets in 1997.
I figured. A quote that direct had to be an allusion to the composer.
Still doesn't beat the brass band version for me...still awesome to listen to though :).
I don know why,but i don feel right. Or maybe im wrong,Sorry if im being rude. Sorry :)
