This piece... I mean DAAAAMN. I played Euph on this in my school's second band. There is not a wasted moment in this, from the peaceful yet heroic melodies in the upper voices accompanied by a just as beautiful support in the mid voices on top of strong low voice sustains, and that is just in the first 3 minutes of the piece. The sudden change from calm and collected to dark and dissonant also impacts this piece very much. My favorite part though has to be the part after the frantic reprise smoothly transforming into probably the most epic melody I have heard played by the euphoniums and horn. This continues to build until the end with just as much emotional morphing and a few surprises (teupha runs, so fun) sprinkled on top leads to an end worth listening to multiple times. The one drawback about this piece is my lips are dead by the end, still very fun to play!
I feel you with that I’m playing this currently in my high schools wind ensemble as the euphonium and my favorite part is definitely the melody after frantic reprises as well. It just makes you feel so powerful for the little 15 seconds of fame😂
This piece is the most amazing things I've ever played. The story it plays out is so beautiful, and you can just see it playing out in your mind. Our teacher lectured us on every little scene in this piece. It's unbelievable beautiful, and so difficult to play. I love it.
Glad that im playing this piece for my final year. It does gave me chill. I still can hear the birds' sounds, the heroic opening and closing of this piece..still lying in my heart even I didnt play instrument anymore.
I played is song my senior of high school in wind ensemble. My band director turns to me and says Kim I think you are gonna love this one! This song still gives me goosebumps.
So my band director said he paid $175 to make it legal for us to play this for marching season, then he said he paid $10000 for professional marching show drill designers to make our show..... idk if I should be scared or i should be happy....
Wow I️ wish my school could do that this year we got a show that only we can play for the year and no other school can play but we had to because we are doing the national field show competition.
I played contrabass clarinet on this. It was so amazing. Has inspired me to go to Machu Picchu just haven't been able to make it out there yet. Maybe next year. But when I do go, I'm putting this on my headphones and sitting there listening to it. Pondering how I just accomplished a life goal.
I doubt this account is still in use as this comment is 9 years old. I played this for high school contest 4 years ago. I think I'm gonna go oil my horn now.
We sent this in as an audition piece and got chosen to play at State as a demonstration band in from of a council of band teachers. One of the 2 or 3 HS band chosen in the whole state. Probably the best piece we've ever player.
Playing first chair trumpet on this piece for a competition in April. All those 32 notes in the beginning are going to be tough! But I just love this music so much!!!!!!!!
Jonah-G-Buck Production Studios Hey, I was there although in the symphonic band. You guys sounded amazing. I am now playing it in the Salem-Keizer All City Band.
Literally just played this 3 hours and 23 minutes ago at gmea district honor band 2nd trumpet. This was too beautiful I'm gonna miss playing this. Favorite part K-M (4:35-6:23)
Second orchestra i played this in (as Euph player) had a shortage of percussionists; my first day there, i already did the bird whistle part; got some strange looks. it got weirder when they realised i took the whip as well ;)
the percussion parts are fun to play i wish i could of played this piece but i was not in our top band it sounds great and i would definitely recommend for any top band in a 5a to 6a district
The thing I really like about Planes is that we learn that WWII happened in the Cars universe. Which means there was a Cars Hitler, a Cars holocaust, a Cars Pacific War, a Cars D-Day, a Cars nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a Cars Rape of Nanking, a Cars Battle of Iwo Jima... This leads to so many important questions, like: were the Cars Little Boy and Fat Man nukes sentient? Was it a suicide mission? Are ALL Cars nuclear weapons sentient? Did Tsar Bomba have a personality? What kind of car was Car Hitler? A VW? A forklift? Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized? I could go on
Stephen Taylor interesting, I played chimes in the concert band at my HS. It's called York Community High school, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it

Playing the marimba for this piece was amazing, I've never felt so alive on a percussion instrument.
0:00-10:59 is the best
The Trombone 1 part to this song is the most beautiful part I've ever laid my eyes on.
Made me cry at least five times, once for each time those sexy trumpets did their cool trumpety thingy with the toots.
i fee dead
played first trumpet in this piece. by far the best experience ever.
those high G's though
Gr00vyRedPanda It only goes up to a Concert Bb
Played it this year and I agree
Me too
Yeah it's really fun but it destroys your lips
This piece... I mean DAAAAMN.

I was the only oboe when we played this and I still love this! It brings back so many memories...

It was such an honor to play this piece.

Love the French horn feature at 7:16
yeahhh omg I love it so much!!! I really hope there is a one-hour version of that part only..
Flugelhorn plays too
And euph
@@LounaM11 can’t forget that flugel part 😂
I played is song my senior of high school in wind ensemble. My band director turns to me and says Kim I think you are gonna love this one! This song still gives me goosebumps.
Would've played this piece with my concert band 3 days ago... but darn it, did things have to change...
Still get the chills hearing 8:56 til 10:04
It's been three years since I've played Machu Picchu, and the piece still brings a tear to my eye.
oboe 1. gotta love the bird sounds
So my band director said he paid $175 to make it legal for us to play this for marching season, then he said he paid $10000 for professional marching show drill designers to make our show..... idk if I should be scared or i should be happy....
We played this in marching season too :p
GeneralN0va what band?
GeneralN0va we are playing this song as one of our movements for marching band for the 2017 season
Wow I️ wish my school could do that this year we got a show that only we can play for the year and no other school can play but we had to because we are doing the national field show competition.
Christopher Roden it was San Angelo Central High School 2015
I played contrabass clarinet on this. It was so amazing. Has inspired me to go to Machu Picchu just haven't been able to make it out there yet. Maybe next year. But when I do go, I'm putting this on my headphones and sitting there listening to it. Pondering how I just accomplished a life goal.
Playing bass clarinet on this piece right now, such an amazing work of art!
You right, me too. First chair bass clarinet all the way
Represent!
10:01-10:17 I looked forward to this part of the piece in every rehearsal, every concert. I miss playing horn.
How is it now? Got your horn playin' again?
frenchie gang!
I doubt this account is still in use as this comment is 9 years old. I played this for high school contest 4 years ago. I think I'm gonna go oil my horn now.
We sent this in as an audition piece and got chosen to play at State as a demonstration band in from of a council of band teachers. One of the 2 or 3 HS band chosen in the whole state. Probably the best piece we've ever player.
Euphonium runs...my favorite
Simply put if a band could pull this song off they were amazing. The song is quite amazing and complex! We have so much fun playing this!
Kris Ann we just pulled it off today. Oregon AllState Wind Ensemble
i just finished playing this with the san bernardino county honor band and this is now my favorite piece. i loved the way we played it.
i remebered playing this piece and it will always continue to be the best piece i have ever played with the band
I played this piece in an honor band and it is now one of my favorite pieces I have ever played.
I’m playing flute in this for wind ensemble 😊 it’s so pretty!
I sat second chair on Trumpet for this piece in 2008. Ah, the memories! Probably my favorite piece of music I ever got to perform...ever.
at 7:58 when the horns do their lil woooo. i’m all happy inside :))))
french horn is by far the most impressive instrument to ever be played
our wind ensemble piece, has to probably be my favorite this year
Playing first chair trumpet on this piece for a competition in April. All those 32 notes in the beginning are going to be tough! But I just love this music so much!!!!!!!!

Playing this at a national competition in March. I'm so hyped!
Out of all the songs I've played, this is definitely the one that sounds best in person.
Second orchestra i played this in (as Euph player) had a shortage of percussionists; my first day there, i already did the bird whistle part; got some strange looks. it got weirder when they realised i took the whip as well ;)
I got into the florida allstate concert band which consists of 9th and 10th graders and were playing this in a couple of weeks!!
Literally got invited by my director 3 days ago, and got my music yesterday. I'M PANICKING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

That moment when I play 1st trumpet and look at the music for the first time. This marching season will be awesome!

Desoto high school in desoto texas? That's where I go! We are playing this this year! :)
Hey I'm from duncanville and were playing this this year :)
So amazing! Simply breathtaking, especially watching the fog lift. I just posted a video on Machu Picchu myself.
As a musician, its beautiful, as a freshman though, just the third clarinet scares me X(
I love this piece, I'm playing Percussion 2, which is Marimba and Bells. Best mallet part I've had all year long.
nice! my band is doing this for our spring concert and i got the timpani part. so many tuning changes lol
covid ruined my chance of playing this amazing piece :(
I hope you get the chance to play it again :(
Same here...UGh!! I was so looking forward to playing it
Alex's bird adventure

Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized?
I could go on
hmmm

I'm performing this with my highschool band on double bass. I've never had so much fun playing with a band than what I've had with this piece.
Horns are never loud enough
Ain't that the truth😂😂 we never be loud enough
We are playing this piece this semester :D
Playing timpani on this piece in the concert band in HS. third page gets mildly insane. can you say tuning changes?
I know right, Part E bro! basically the entire perc section
Stephen Taylor interesting, I played chimes in the concert band at my HS. It's called York Community High school, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it
I play the toms part and it's so fun
I met him as well(:
shook his hand even.. I was actually really nervous when I did..
Whats used to make the bird sounds?
Bo Boutwell there are bird whistles you fill with water. The deeper you blow the more the sounds modulate
Why aren't there any comments on this? This is the best recording of Machu Picchu on youtube. Oh well--I guess not everyone can be a band nerd.
we played march bou shu in band
Do you have a pro recording of Yagisawa's "Hymn to the Sun with the Beat of Mother Earth"?
