I play horn and our band director put us in the middle of the alto section. he split them and out us in the middle. There are 6 altos and three horns. But i wish horns had a solo. One of my favorite songs to play on horn was arabian dances. We had melodie for like 10 measures
As a former alto sax player and current trombone player, I would have loved to get a solo like that when I was just starting out. Flutes, clarinets, and trumpets get most solos, so I'm glad an arranger is giving background instruments something fun.
You know as a clarinet player I never really realized that. That’s because in my band the director gives the clarinets and flutes a melody to switch a song for trumpets and saxophones a melody and 2 songs for lower instruments and percussion( how they are split up is always different) so I didn’t know that.
my band teacher has shown me a piece with a clarinet solo and then ends up not letting us play it, it was the first clarinet solo i have personally heard.
We played this for our seniors last year for their senior song. We all cried at the end knowing we would miss them. It was so sad but heartwarming at the same time
I actually liked the sax solo in "How Far I'll Go" because it imitates Auli'i's voice very well. Sure it would have sounded better on flute or clarinet but I felt that Bocook's interpretation of the part felt it should be.
I play clarinet and as much as I would love a solo (we don’t get them often in middle school bands) it just wouldn’t sound the same and I think sax is the best option here
I am just happy that they included the baritone horn/euphonium part. I play that instrument and I feel like it is not appreciated as much. People mistake it as a tuba, and a couple of times, a trumpet. And the alto sax part is amazing. Why you peeps hatin' on it?
dam ppl call euphoniums' trumpets. ive gotten my trumpet called a trombone before... and sax (tbh tho i dont blame them because the cases in my school for trumpet and alto sax look very similar). ive also gotten my french horn called trombone
I’m in jazz band rn, and my conductor gave me a flute piece. It’s practically the trumpet part. Is all flute music like this? I wouldn’t know bc I’m percussion.
Played this song for our last concert of the Year... Everyone was so sad :( Everyone did their best and we sounded amazing. We played 7 songs in total... Moana, Jurassic Park, and How to Train Your Dragon are just a few....
Woah hooray 1 MILLION VIEWS. Moana was so exciting, I think it was fabulous! Class of 2022, but I miss my 7th grade year in 2017. Cheers for new times!!
Can always count on Jay Bocook to create great "Movie Suite" arrangements for young concert bands. I can imagine this one will be played quite a bit in Spring concerts this year.
Yeah, the problem with my school band is that a large amount of those in it are young and inexperienced so we have to keep the level relatively low which means repetitive pieces.
I'm assuming they chose to use Alto saxophone for the solo because moana herself has an Alto voice?? did anyone stop and think of that? not every female is soprano Alto sax has the near same range as an Alto voice. I'm a male and have the range of a Baritone - Tenor sax. so that's the parts I sing.
I'm reading the comments and the majority of them are people calling out people hating on the alto sax solo but i don't actually see people hating on the alto sax solo
So much hate on the alto sax solo , but as an alto sax player you rarely get solos!!And the solo sounded so great and fun to play.So how about we all just calm down and admire the music that was produced.I still LOVE the solo as a sax, so fun to play ,love the solo...
I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember Never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water No matter how hard I try Every turn I take Every trail I track Every path I make Every road leads back To the place I know where I cannot go Where I long to be See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows How far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
I’m about to leave for Disney with my high school band, oh and I’m an alto sax on the first part. I’m so nervous about the solo I hope another sax does it😭😭😅😅
My girlfriend told me that throughout middle school and high school she always got to be 1st Clarinet, expect for one time she got demoted to clarinet 2 in Take on Me.
Me: Ooh, the vibes... I'm glad we're playing this.... Covid: Oh, nice piece. Too bad you have to cut it in half >:) So yeah, thanks to the pandemic we didn't play the whole thing.
Y’all are complaining about the bongo solo but the bongos are actually pretty hard and I play percussion which is drums and bongos are apart of it and my bandmate plays the bongos and he said it is pretty difficult but once you’re able to play it it is easy and I play drum set and don’t play bongos at all but since I hear him play bongos I know how to play his part with out reading the music because he plays it all then time
The hung that confuses me the most is why they didn’t decide to include the very last low tuba not of “Know he Way”. I think it’s one of the coolest parts of that piece
Everyone’s complaining about he alto sax solo but we played that whole song (how far I’ll go) for marching band and the solo was an baritone so y’all need to calm down
Finally! A grade 3 piece where the Alto Saxes and Horns don't have identical parts!!!
Landon Geitzenauer i play horn and i am glad that we don't have same parts
I do really wish the horns also had the solo though

LOL IKR!
This is also one of the few moments that Tenor Sax's "shared part" status is good. It carries the first song's melody almost the entire time.
As a former alto sax player and current trombone player, I would have loved to get a solo like that when I was just starting out. Flutes, clarinets, and trumpets get most solos, so I'm glad an arranger is giving background instruments something fun.
fstlthawkeye I - Why would a woodwind player such as your former self ever switch to a lowly brass instrument?
You know as a clarinet player I never really realized that. That’s because in my band the director gives the clarinets and flutes a melody to switch a song for trumpets and saxophones a melody and 2 songs for lower instruments and percussion( how they are split up is always different) so I didn’t know that.
@@leviradford707 Because it’s better?
@@leviradford707 at least brass have bigger than 4 octave range
my band teacher has shown me a piece with a clarinet solo and then ends up not letting us play it, it was the first clarinet solo i have personally heard.
You're all complaining about the solo but none of you will ever understand the Hell that is playing those bongo parts
Victoria Brown I know your pain
Victoria Brown I play the bongo parts
i play shaker, rain stick & tom toms all together 😅
Oh my god they will never get it
I feel ur pain😖

Thats not necessarily true.
It would have been higher pitched most likely, which does not match Auli'i's voice/tone
I play clarinet and as much as I would love a solo (we don’t get them often in middle school bands) it just wouldn’t sound the same and I think sax is the best option here
Tbone, tenor, baritone, and bassoon solo is lit
Jeremy Finlaw I know right
Feels good to get melodies for a change!
yassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Where’s the tenor solo? We played this and I didn’t have one

Excuse me-

In pretty much all of Hal leanords scores, there’s a euph/bari part included spoo

We play How To Train Your Dragon next Saturday at our concert and the Arrangement is soooo great :3
You got to play HTTYD?! No fair! That's my favourite Soundtrack EVER!
I love How to train your Dragon and the orchestra version is sooooo beautiful I love it
I'm in an 8th grade band and we're playing moana
THE SHAKER IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT
dreamcat lmaoooo so true
dreamcat I play it lol
Commence the 16th notes
Woah hooray 1 MILLION VIEWS. Moana was so exciting, I think it was fabulous!
Class of 2022, but I miss my 7th grade year in 2017. Cheers for new times!!
Trombones in YOUR WELCOME gives me chills
Can always count on Jay Bocook to create great "Movie Suite" arrangements for young concert bands. I can imagine this one will be played quite a bit in Spring concerts this year.
Jay Bocook is an awesome arranger. My band is playing his arrangement of West Side Story. It's really cool.
My band is playing this for a pops concert
My bands doing this for our spring concert this year
My band is gonna play this song in the spring concert but for now, we're working on this for some concert we're hosting at our school
Playing this for our spring concert :)
Same
Only had 4 weeks to prepare. Lol
OMG SAME
Same!!
SAME
The very ending of this song is gold
This piece brings me a lot of nostalgia. My school band played this near the end of my junior year and it is my favorite memory with the band
Playing this in eighth grade! Probably to hardest price we have played so far i just got it so I gotta listen to it to actually get the rythem
The alto sax solo was perfectly fine. The only better instrument for such an alto solo is an alto trombone which is too rare to include in this piece.
Flugelhorn? Tenor/alto Eb horn?
@@RuigekerelBut they are also rare.
Playing this in my school band, so glad that the trombones get to have the tune for once haha.
tbh we have the melodys fairly often, at least once we you get to advanced high school/college pieces.
Yeah, the problem with my school band is that a large amount of those in it are young and inexperienced so we have to keep the level relatively low which means repetitive pieces.
yup same
@@trombonearrangements6100 everyone gets the melody then. Even the tuba
my high school band played this at our spring concert last year. I think it was one hell of a way to end the school year
I'm playing this piece for my end of year concert
I am playing it for my spring concert
Sear Donahue same, can’t wait
SAME!!! We’re playing it for our end of the year concert as well
same but in 2018
Me too in 2024
I like that I can hear the clarinets
I loved all the solos... alto sax, trumpet and trombone, all are amazing...
I play Euphonium but yeah, the trombon part is my too :p
We're playing this for band and I. AM. OBSESSEDDDD
Let the alto sax shine! There's rarely solos longer than 2 measures written for that instrument.
True.
I take offense to that
I take offense to that aswell, I might direct you to Baker Street mah boy
They always get Jazz solos
Jason Martinez welcome to the world of saxes where we get legit solos and everyones gets to suck it
Love it! My school played it and the alto sax solo rocked.
I remember playing this in 7th grade! Loved this piece!! ❤️💕
I actually quite like the sax solo. Maybe that's just because I like jazz but I don't think it would have sounded as good on another instrument.
Wow something happens in the music that people don't like, than people who are commenting are all of a sudden professional music arrangers. Smart
Ikr
This is beautiful if only my band mates could play this well together
I'm assuming they chose to use Alto saxophone for the solo because moana herself has an Alto voice??
did anyone stop and think of that?
not every female is soprano
Alto sax has the near same range as an Alto voice.
I'm a male and have the range of a Baritone - Tenor sax.
so that's the parts I sing.
Cistien the highschool imma go to next year is doing this song and they used alto sax
Good thought
True, true. You make a good point.
i'm happy, I have the sax solo lol
I play C1 in this song it is better
So glad that low voices got some recognition in this, I play euphonium so it was nice to have some of the melody 🕺🏼💃🏻
BUT WHAT ABOUT SHINY
Fizzy_Bubbles i know
Fizzy_Bubbles i cried when i didnt hear shiny
Wheres the horn solo
will Smith gaming/Vlog i play horn so trueee
I play horn too
as a trombone this was such a fun song and was amazing having the melody
Yessssss my time has come
Finally a SAX SOLO
I hear ya man. Saxophones all the way.
When I played this in band, we deserved a better alto sax solo! One like we hear here!
why are people so mad at the solo I enjoyed it
THANK YOU
ME TOO! :D
Maybe because they think horns should have had it too but it's still great
Phen #altosax
It sounded too jazzy
I love the trumpet parts
Sara Donahue me too!!! AKSOSID D
I'm reading the comments and the majority of them are people calling out people hating on the alto sax solo but i don't actually see people hating on the alto sax solo
This song is fun to be , it just give me where people who aren’t in band can just come listen to band kids play is so smooth 🧘🏽♀️😁
I love the piece of music and I love having the melody for 107 and 9 (I’m a tenor sax player)
I COMPLETELY forgot that I played this! I was the saxophone solo in my band’s version!
How would you forget something like that
Very nice! Happy we get to play this :)
heck yess ayy
i like the how far ill go and youre welcome
omg our band is late we're just starting to play this now 😂👌
aesthetiic lyrics and were a year later 😂😂
@@tonyperna2255 and another year lol
I think I'm very late
@@musicalweeb4065 im later
@@malenejohannesen2575 me too lol
Jay makes great music 🎶 love and miss you cousin!!
This song do be hitting different though
We played this a few years ago for inter-house and we nailed it and got 1st place. ( I played the timpani) it was fun as hell.
Imagine removing "the Way" from the description...
"We Know Where You Are, and You're Welcome."
underrated comment
I love the part of we know the way with that counter clarinet part where it’s like we know the way and then there’s 1 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2
missing shiny... i wonder how will that be with band arrangement... haha
So much hate on the alto sax solo , but as an alto sax player you rarely get solos!!And the solo sounded so great and fun to play.So how about we all just calm down and admire the music that was produced.I still LOVE the solo as a sax, so fun to play ,love the solo...
Can someone please tell me if I should play trumpet or horn for this peace?
playing this song in 8th grade band and im so excited!!
The seniors in our band picked this song for there senior song and it’s making me depressed I will miss them so bad
Excelsior?
Im so loving this.. Im glad u did this :^)
I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
Every turn I take
Every trail I track
Every path I make
Every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
Time stamp for me to remember: 0:48
HIIII MY BAND DIRECTOR JUST BOUGHT THESE FROM YOU IT'S SOOO GOOOD
bro take me back to 8th grade when we played this omg
This is such a fun pice to play and I’m happy that the French horns(me) get some love
I’m about to leave for Disney with my high school band, oh and I’m an alto sax on the first part. I’m so nervous about the solo I hope another sax does it😭😭😅😅
OMG ALTO SAXOPHONE HAD A SOLO I LOVE IT
i remember spending hours trying to get those flutes tuned in rehersal at 350
0:36_1:05 trumpet part so gd
sax solo 1:14 I NEEDA PRACTICE MF GOD
Dude 😭That's wrong lol. ❤Exodus 20:7. God bless you, have a great day!
I got demoted to clarinet 2, but it's still amazing
My girlfriend told me that throughout middle school and high school she always got to be 1st Clarinet, expect for one time she got demoted to clarinet 2 in Take on Me.
Grade 9 nostalgia❤️ that was 4 years ago
This song is awesome
Me: Ooh, the vibes... I'm glad we're playing this....
Covid: Oh, nice piece. Too bad you have to cut it in half >:)
So yeah, thanks to the pandemic we didn't play the whole thing.
What is this hate on the alto solo I enjoyed it all

am i the only one who likes alto sax as the solo??
Yall should listen to aggressiveo! The background instruments get a lot of melody time in that too!
Our band has no trombone 😭
Never seen the movie and I'm playing this in band.. lol
as a trombonist i really wish i could play this my part seems so much fun
same but i am a baritone
I’m thinking about being a band director soo like this would 100% be field show
I play tenor sax. My part for how far I'll go is so boring but I have the melody for the other two songs so I'm happy.
Ashley Clay me too lol, those whole notes will be the death of me
Ashley Clay I’m with you buddy. I play euphonium and got whole notes too
The hung that confuses me the most is why they didn’t decide to include the very last low tuba not of “Know he Way”. I think it’s one of the coolest parts of that piece
Who else plays 'You're Welcome' just to annoy their siblings?! CUZ I DO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i wanna play this, but maybe im biased because i play alto sax and id get the solo.
RIP French Horns and Clarinets 😢
Okay so my main instruments are Trombone and Baritone. I’m playing Tuba on this song and I’m excited :))
WE PLAYED THIS
Trombone👍👍👍👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The clarinets and saxophones with the 16th notes at the end....how do u do that
3:00
Everyone’s complaining about he alto sax solo but we played that whole song (how far I’ll go) for marching band and the solo was an baritone so y’all need to calm down
Yeah but like.. I haven’t seen a single complaining comment 🥲
2:50
Just for me:)
I’m actually playing this exact song for my band
Alto sax
Shiny's my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. but very well done . thumb's up to hal leonard concert band, love their music
Tbh I really like it, I just kinda wish it was a bit more complex
Super mooi!

Cant go without Shiny
