Suite for Jazz orchestra No. 1 [Jazz suite No. 1], composed in 1934
00:04 - I. Waltz
02:42 - II. Polka
04:26 - III. Foxtrot
In the 1930s, jazz was highly popular in the Soviet Union. Shostakovich was particularly interested in this kind of music, especially as it was practised within the USSR by his colleagues and friends. So he was delighted when he was asked to write a piece for a small Leningrad dance-band. The result was this charming and tuneful Suite in a style combining echoes of Kurt Weill, klezmer and cabaret with more American influences, especially in the darkly hilarious final movement. There are three movements in all: a soupy and engaging Waltz, a lively Polka with a tricky xylophone solo, and a paradoxically entitled Foxtrot (Blues), which features a notable episode for that pioneering electric instrument, the Hawaiian guitar.

Why as a sax player could I never play this beautiful piece built for us in school? Because in America public schools never mix Band and Orchestra and it’s really quite a sad and frustrating thing.
true that :(
It’s extremely sad, extremely. Thsi could be played in concert band, violin just needs to be omitted or transcribed for maybe piano
I'm pretty sure it's just the high string parts. The violin parts would be weird to transfer on to any wind instrument. They could probably be transfered to a flute part but flutes end at C4/B3 and only got up to C7 (not including altissimo).
It's not really an *American public school thing, it's pretty global to see that, especially with when and where it was developed (Paris, mid 1800s), who developed it (Adolf Sax who had several qualms with leading orchestrators and artists), and the purposes for which it was developed (primarily, but not exclusively, to strengthen the woodwinds section in bands). In the 20th century, orchestral music began to incorporate the use of saxophones around the world (you can see if in Copland, Stravinsky, Prokofiev [a ton], Shostakovich, etc.). This isn't to say that saxophone doesn't blend well within an orchestra, because it clearly fits quite nicely almost anywhere you place it in your orchestration, but it just wasn't common practice early on, and took time to become a standard throughout the Western arts world.
@@donnytello1544 I'd transcribe violin onto flute
one of my favorite pieces ever, simple yet diverse. Would be an honour to play it someday
1 man orchestra
Me too
My love... Shostakovich!
Yay! Shostakovich!
Хежун и Дамон любят Шостакович!
Yay! Me!
Imo this song deserves more recognition. It’s as good as the second suite.
better, if you ask me
Waltz no.1 0:00
Polka 2:42
Foxtrott 4:28

I love listening and seeing the sheet music at the same time. Thank you, Damon. This is not a piece for amateurs.
Amazing. So simple and yet so deep. Shostakovich is a marvel.
It's so amazing!! I love it. It still falls in the category of what People these day call classical music, but it's so different!!
Classical music is vast. If it is not classical music, what is it then? I wouldn't call it jazz. What is jazz without improvisations?
@@sambol8429 Well, it isn't technically a Jazz Suite, but a Suite for Jazz Orchestra.

5:43 WHAT when i tell you my jaw dropped
Really goes to show how different ðe late 20þ idea of musical genre differs from ðe modern one.
I like your use of ðe characters eð and þorn
This sounds really like Film or folk music from the soviet 40s and 50s
5:25 favorite part
Hello, can I ask where did u get the score of this one? I really love it:)
I haven’t been dead for long enough for my scores to be public domain yet, sadly- you gotta buy them from a publisher
Wonderful.
Idk why, but I really like when the piano comes in at 1:29.
jazz
Ah yes... *Hawaiian Guitar, my favourite instrument*
Also isn't that solo also from the Golden age ballet?
which part of tbe ballet?
the waltz 1 here (jazz suite 1) is also taken from waltz 2 in jazz suite 2...
Waiting for the jazz.
Why do the saxophones sound like the wind instruments of a Classical-period orchestra?
02:43 полка
04:28 фокстрот
similar rhythms!
The Foxtrot reminds me of HMS Royal Oak by Schuloff
Gr8
What instrument is B-gio?
Ustym Petrovych 👍
Can we get the reference of the score, like the publisher and editor?
why doesnt the trumpet part have a key signature??
Because the trumpet is a transposing instrument in B flat, so when most instruments have a score in B flat Major, the trumpet reads C Major
I love this! Where did you get the score?
Damon J.H.K. Great! Thank you so much! I've been looking for it for quite a while.
You're welcome :D

Shotaskovich's Fifth Symphony in 2:46 and 4:03 ?
" Oh its familia- wait, nevermind. "
and you have a march from this suite?
doesn't it sound like Kurt Weil!!!!
Quite. Especially the bit at 6:30
Where did you get the note sheet??

ㅁㅊ 그냥 우연히 들어왔는데 곡 좋네.
다몬아 이거 2번도 만들어줘
Damon J.H.K. 그나저나 호두까기 두번째 곡은 왜 소식이 읎어
그리고 폴카에서 트롬본 소리 좋음
2번보다 1번이. 더. 좋음
What does this have to do with jazz
This is in the jazz style of the 30s. Foxtrots and whatnots. Music you can dance to. Not what we'd quite call jazz today
@@mason11198 yeah
@@mason11198 Especially in the Soviet Union...
@@simonrobillard oh yeah that too lol, stalin couldn't accept spicy jazz
its ironicaly called that way because its not real jazz. it should be comedic. from classical perspective
that banjo tho lol
Where?
@@littlewishy6432 its marked as "B-gio" in notation
its following the piano so its harder to hear
@@spatrk6634 I was talking about where in the music, not where on the score
@@littlewishy6432 ok so i dont actually know if it's a banjo, it's marked chit. haw., i just found it funny in the fox trot
@@sneddypie I think it's a “Hawaiian guitar,” or something. Not sure how common the instrument itself is, though.
Which year did this recording make?
This recording made it all the way to this year, 2020, and probably beyond. It might survive us all.
This was recorded in May 1991
Great performance and upload, but the guitar player is awful in the foxtrot
Gack.
