- Recording of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.A Composition by Alfred Reed.(1944) Russian Christmas Music
1.Carol of the Little Russian Children
2.Antiphonal Chant
3.Village Song
4.Cathedral Chorus.
Among other things, "Russian Christmas Music" shows what a master orchestrator Alfred Reed was. Everybody has a good part and all voices are used appropriately (definitely not just a matter of finding an available instrument to play at the desired pitch). And the result is something that gives me tingles just about every time I hear it.
In Soviet Russia, song play you!
One of my favorite pieces of band literature ever. I get chills every time I listen to it. I am so thankful I had the privilege to play such a beautiful piece.
The russians must have a pretty epic christmas
Ahh.. I am so glad I found this song. Brings back great memories. I played second horn and in one rehearsal the first horn and I blacked out from using too much air at the end... Good times. :D
I love any and every piece composed by Alfred Reed.
the finale around the 11 minute mark is where it's at for me. Especially those building brass statements. This is a magnificent piece of music!
The ending of this piece was hell for us flutes, but boy, was it worth it. My career in wind ensembles pretty much boils down to this piece.
there's something about playing saxophone on a piece like this that really makes you envy the power of the brass
it's from the real tokyo kosei wind orchestra???
wooow - I can't believe it =) !!
bring so much memories, I played Piccolo and first flute back then 🥲🥲
My freshman year of high school. (2009) Oh good gracious... This was BY FAR the best.... BEST... piece we performed. Trumpet here, but every part was important. <3
I played this masterwork as percussionist { Tubular bells} years ago was crying when we are done
i play first clarinet for this song and i really love this song....tokyo kosei's first clarinet is really epic. just don't know how they make such dark and clear dark tone.....
I play clarinet in my school band! This Christmas show we are playing this! It sounds amazing when it's all together!
I think besides the pieces being amazing by them-selves, Alfred Reed's works all seem to have these really really great endings, I mean really like the ending here sounds so cool!!! It's even better to play of course lol!
Senior Year of High School (2014-2015) :)
MY FAVORITE PART IS NO DOUBT AT ALL
Lol I play Alto sax for this and it is amazing even though I have so many measures of resting... I love Reed!
I love this song. In my band we play this song every year and it's just so fun and it sounds so cool.
