The stunning artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe is no more apparent than in her famous 1921 painting entitled Blue and Green Music. Fittingly commissioned by the Patrick Marsh Middle School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (O'Keeffe's birthplace), Samuel Hazo does an amazing job of portraying subtle as well as bold colors into musical terms. Based on a single theme that is manipulated and varied throughout, the piece progresses from delicate mallet percussion effects up to climactic impact points for the entire ensemble. O'Keeffe explained her idea that “music could be translated into something for the eye.” And Mr. Hazo succeeds wonderfully in translating it back into something for the ear!

i play clarinet on this piece and i love it so much. measure 51 is my favorite part to play. absolutely beautiful piece!!
Same bro same....
@@acat7627 i’m so sad that i didn’t get to play this for UIL...bc covid happened :/
@@salemquinn2067 yeah.... 😔 2020 is extremely rude. I missed out on a lot of wind ensemble opportunities bc of COVID. I’m sorry you missed out on playing for UIL. That really sucks... 😞
@@acat7627 I missed out on the rose parade because of Covid last year, but I got to do it this year
Same but I play tuba
2:52 best part, don't even argue with me.
FACTS
I play the timpani part here. My band director just lets me go apeshit, cause I'm the most entertaining guy in the band. Also the percussion senior.
Am I the only one that thinks that trumpet part sounds like ultra instinct in a way. Like if it was more minor
Actually I liked 3:43 better but that part is also so pretty
especially at 3:05 where the trumpet and brass part is very pointed and marcatto and then right after, the winds come in and it’s smooth and pretty with that one trumpet hovering on top, then right back to those brassy attacks
Chills. Tears. Freaking masterpiece
Team Ember I love seeing other people’s favorite songs.
🤣
You get it you get it
My band played this as well, it’s such a beautiful piece and my band director did an amazing job as to telling us to play it with emotions.
I played the vibraphone for this piece in high school and my school's band went to Canada to perform in a competition and I realized I left my music in the US. It's a good thing I memorized my part... either way this is an emotional piece.
I’m playing this on vibe
@@KingEliMusic21 it's a great piece to play.
I wish I had vibes lol.. I have bells
That final chord at the end is absolutely breathtaking. It sounds like an eternal flow of energy.
I get that motifs build of the lion's share of all good music, but every time I hear this I can't get over have a four note gesture could build this gorgeous music.
Played this in High School as a junior, now I'm lucky enough to be writing a research paper on this work in college.
My honours band is playing this at my middle school. I love my French horn part
Gracie Threlfall im a fellow horn player, and drummer ita a beautiful piece! have you seen the painting it was based off?
I’m playing this in my high school’s honors band. I’m playing first part for horn
Sameee
Im playing this for my freshman band, i’m on horn part and its so beautiful.
the bass clarinet is one of the best bass clarinet parts i’ve ever seen
as a bass clarinetist, it was one of my favorite songs to play
The bass clarinet is so chilling in the end
It seriously is! It's really smooth and not hard at all to play.
Now I really need a Bass Clarinet
I'm first Flute and the flute part is amazing!! I love this song so much! it is so powerful when you can play it yourself!
I have to play vibes on this but I didn’t know I’d have to start the song!
Just played this in my concert last night, I play bass clarinet, i'm so glad my instrument is such an important part of this piece!!
prolly the only time you guys will ever get any form of melody
@@cousinparty7266 :,)
As a bassoon player, we appreciate you for doubling half our parts in every song
@@sgdy2834 fellow low reed i appreciate you, especially because your instrument is witchcraft what the heck, you are so talented??
one of the only songs in my freshman year that made me feel special lol, so glad i picked the bass clarinet up again that year
I play the vibes on this one. Still gives me chills every time, even though I've played this countless times
Hey we played this before my band teacher got arrested :) (story underneath) BE FR IM TOP COMMENT COME ON😭
How’d that happen?
Im seeing this everywhere is it a joke?
Ha. Great story.
Lol
I don’t understand
Bro my band played this for marching and this made me cry
Time to be the one guy in the comments who has played the synth part and loved playing it.
@@mookie6384 learn your scales. Just imagine it being a marimba or other mallet instrument
@@melancholykaleidoscope2859 that's funny because I'm actually playing this part on marimba! My school doesn't have a synth so I'm playing 4 mallet grip
Grayson Cary I feel you. My school doesn't have a vibraphone, so one of our percussionists is playing the vibe part on the marimba.
Same I played it too
I had to bring my own synth to uil
Playing this in a concert this year, as a new (first year) bassoon player, this is definitely my favorite piece
Played this two years ago on bells and omg this song gave me chilllsss
i played synth on this and it was my first time ever playing keyboard , it was so beautiful.
I heard this song at festival being played by another band (not ours) and i just went, OH MY GOD WE’RE IN SOME SORT OF DISNEY MOVIE END CREDITS WHA-
Playing vibes for this for our state contest! Love this piece so much
throughout my 6 years of being a percussionist, (which i still am) my band director decided that i should play tuba for 1 song, and it was this song. I picked it up pretty quick and i practiced everyday to get better and better, and i have to say i love having an alternate instrument!!!
And also I forgot to mention that i started tuba for my holiday concert which was in december so i had a month of hard work and practice! I played a song called Air for Band by Frank Erickson, and it was beautiful. Blue in Green was my second tuba song, and I played this during my winter concert and we were amazing!! Now I'm going to Bemidji High School for 8AA North Regional Large Group Band Contest on the 3rd of April. We're playing Blue in Green Music and A Holsinger song called Prairie Dances. I play percussion Bass drum for Prairie Dances. Wish me luck at Contest!!!
I had tympani part on this and we ended making a joke cult from my rhythm at 51 lol
1:52 THE THE FLUE OMGOMGOMG PEOPLE DIED (me)
This song is based off Georgia O'Keefe blue and green painting
love your description for it!
0:31 measure 10
1:02 measure 19
1:50 measure 33

This piece is amazing. My hs band is playing it. Let's go PANTHERS. I'm a oboe player
I’m a bass clarinet player we’re playing this rn :3 it’s SO GOOD
Played the bells this piece is so fun
I miss playing this my Sophomore year w Mr. Wellman
I'm in 7th grade and I'm playing this piece for the concert :D
MrMidgetMeowMeow as am I, wind ensemble all the way!
MrMidgetMeowMeow mee too I'm in 7th grade playing this on saxophone!!!
Same.
I had to wait till high school to get Gucci as good as this!
@@KirbCakesEvie sax ganggg
This is our Ballad 😍
im playing this piece for band rn as a flute player (flute 2) and im obsessed with this piece!!!! i just wish i got the flute 1 part cuz it's cooler but is ok....
TEARS
Performing this tommorow
Played this piece for UIL this year and one of the judges I kid you not wrote down, "This is the best performance of this song I have ever heard." Whenever my band director was going over scores and he read this note it was one of my favorite moments of band all year because as a horn player I loved this piece and would give everything I had while playing this piece and would write everything down (even though i usually dont) but this piece means so much to me and I'll remember it and listen to it when i need some joy back in my life.
No one cares dude. Grow up.
1:53 shadow of the colossus?
we played this in my 8th grade year and it was so beautiful!
Played this my Sophomore year at Duncanville Highschool
Im playing this in middle school
@@jamesmason4175 one of my favorite pieces. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
The second horn part -_-
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! 1000th like babeeeeeeee!!!!!!
I love playing this peice (I’m bassoon btw)
This is like a sad song but not bad
Some parts of this sound like they could be in a Bungie-Era Halo game
Nobuo Uematsu has listened to Blue and Green Music. In *Find Your Way*, the Final Fantasy VIII track that plays when in a cave, you are greeted with the same melody pattern heard at 0:36 . Either Uematsu listened to this or they had the same idea to use the same arpeggio. Just an observation I made. Also I would be playing this for UIL, but corona
We might be playing this, Im usually a Clarinet player but for this I'm playing the Synthesizer
love this song
This sounds like it could be a dlc theme for GrimGrimoire
I play the synthesizer on this song lol
Blue and Green
Hazo should've just named this song cyan since blue and green make that color
This is the worst comment
@@alexislemons6916 this is the worst reply in the whole comment section
@@mrwiggles222 this is the worst comment EVER
Alan Diaz he named it Blue and green music because that’s the name of the painting that the song was written about.
@@chrispelayo6365 ik🤦🏽♂️
Anybody come here because they actually heard it somewhere and not for their school or college bands?
NO
Haha nOpe
We prepared for this piece for UIL but COVID came
same here !! i got so devastated cause i had the clarinet solo piece at the beginning
This song has almost 1000 likes
Come on
bass clarinet players, unite
Anyone here after watching Chris Gleason’s Ted Talk?
Nobody likes playing this piece in my band but we still have to play it🤧
loser
My band played it for our first contest then the next week my teacher got arrested so after we didn’t go to the next contest lmao
Brian's Magical Funland wtf
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever played. We played in 7th grade and I still go back to it years later. Try to appreciate your music, it makes playing it so much fun, but more importantly allows you to play it with more emotion and expression. This is a masterpiece

This song is my life
I told a girl I liked her while this song played.
Anyone else who thinks the comment section on music pieces is always really cringe?
no not really
If you're not a musician, I can see how it can be jarring
Honestly yes
@@jamgrams3244 I am a musician it's just so painful to read
