I had the honor of meeting soon hee newbold at region last year she’s a great director and an amazing storyteller everyone in the orchestra loved her. Hello from Texas
@user-et6nf5ql8e I only remember playing Kyiv 2024 by Brian Balmages I forgot the other 2 pieces we played but one of them was by Soon Hee Newbold herself
@teresajones2194same, its a fun piece but most people hate it bc they dont know how to play it and i dont blame them bc its a hard piece meant for college students
Listening to some pieces I played back when I was in orchestra in junior high and high school. Graduated high school 4 years ago and haven’t been a very active string player since. Only in community orchestra occasionally. To everyone still high school, enjoy your time with my orchestra family! I miss the feeling of playing with everyone on stage at concerts or UIL. So glad I had the experience.
played this at a concert, dropped my bow at 4:14 in the front row :D luckily my section had a multiple measure rest right then so I was able to recover but it still haunts me
This piece has been the hardest thing my group has gotten to play and we all love it. Kind of poetic that it's the last piece I'll get to play with them
As a base player having done this song last year, measure 160 or 5:18 is the most fun and best sounding part I’ve ever played in any peice Edit: my bad I spelt my own fuckin instrument wrong I fixed it😅
I feel like this song gives off the vibe of a pirate. In the beginning he’s sailing on the seas which he loves but it softens as he comes home to his family. He is plagued by the guilt of what he does while he is away as a pirate and he hates that he has to leave so soon which is why it contains both light and dark sounds but then he has to suit up and get back on the boat and leave his family. The boat is leaving soon and he is really sad he has to leave his family already and is about to jump off the boat right before it leaves but then he sees his wife and kids waving him off smiling and it is a really great moment and he realizes that they support him and he has them in his heart and it cuts to him back venturing on the sea. This is shown by it sounding more like the beginning again. I feel that it’s not as strong because he doesn’t have the strong feelings of regret and sadness with him at sea at the end. I’m sure this is kinda wild and probably doesn’t make sense but I hope you understand somewhat
actually band music combined with orchestra music is better. Orchestra gives a more western vibe to the music and band gives a more deep and loud vibe. So, a deep loud western song is an amazing combination.
I think it’s not specifically from a movie, but those kind of sounds or chord progressions are common in movies, such as in intense/emotional scenes. it sounds really cool! i wish that part was longer
Same, We just got this peice and I'm questioning my will to live, the firsts get my all favorite parts, peruse, but I'm feeling especially unhappy about being a 2nd now
Cameron I’ve played this at my orchestra in my freshman year (I’m a sophomore now) and we worked on this for 3 months and we finally got it right, but some people got kicked out because they didn’t know how to play
i played this song back in 2018 during my spring concert of my freshman year without a conductor (visual que excersizes) and honestly idk how we pulled it off but it was so much fun playing the piece that we wanted to play it for our senior piece. we never got to tho bc of covid :/
My orchestra played this for contest and our last concert... We didn’t go that fast in the beginning and end... I’m glad we didn’t, I’d be having a panic attack the whole time “^~^ Even still though, I love this song a lot❤️
I’ve been wanting to share what I have in my mind while listening to this piece for a while now. Hopefully it turns out ok. Enjoy: Midevil Knight is looking out and sees Perseus and his men returning from a successful battle. The city throws them a parade with music and dancing. Flowers are being thrown at them and everyone is celebrating their victory. Perseus arrives at the castle, first dreading what waits him inside. He had disobeyed the Queens orders. But to his surprise, when he presents himself to her, she congratulated him and apologizes for not believing in him. She tells him to come up. She grabs her ceremonial sword and declares him an official knight, general of the army. Perseus sees movement in the castle. An assassin! He protects the queen and chases the assassin down. They run across the streets, jumping over the tops of buildings. Until he gets the assassin and arrests them. Cut to now, Perseus is riding his horse across the fields where he grew up, reminding him of what he wanted to be and who he had become.
So I'm in middle school, and the high school in my district is playing this for a competition. I've already played this before, so they said I could join them. I'm super exited to finnally be able to prove that I can handle being with the high schoolers (my orchestra teacher didn't let me before) but problem is, is that the high schoolers have already learned the piece and I have 1 rehearsal with them before the competition and I'm first violin outside, so I play all the high parts! 😅
Every song i write for an orchestra (i think I've written about 4 or 5 maybe) i try to give some love and melody to every1 bc i play viola and i almost never get melody and i hate it😭😭😭
I was supposed to play this at my last concert of the year (Im in 6th grade and learned viola in that same year... now I play in the advanced orchestra...) Bruh now it got cancelled cuz of Carona Time... :(
Haha, I know exactly what that’s like!! A couple of months ago, I wrote a piece and brought it into my orchestra class. The key switched to E in one of the parts, and I guess my orchestra doesn’t know how to play four sharps, because they absolutely butchered it. I went home and played the notes on the piano, and it sounded just fine. I told the teacher that, but she kept insisting that it was the piece and not the orchestra. So happy I’m not in that class anymore.
@@sturranimations3597 playing on the piano is different than playing on strings. Keep that in mind because of the D#, which depending on how it is arranged, could make some pieces difficult to play for string players. Either that, or people don't read the KEY SIGNATURE, which is a big problem for my orchestra!
Those 16 dislikes are probably jealous band and chorus kids. This piece is awesome and is really well balanced
Lydia Plante just imagine people singing this melody
@@JohnDoe-qq8ws It wouldn't sound very good... This song is amazing as it is and it doesn't need any add-ons
imagine saying chorus instead choir
It’s now 31
not well balanced in terms of difficulty tho the entire first 2/3 of the piece is easy then it becomes impossible
i love this composer so much, her pieces are incredible
phee WAIT?!! SOON HEE NEWBOLD IS A GIRL
Reitersplash what is her name?
Reitersplash no her real name
Reitersplash I did and now I know lel
Duuuuude my teacher got her to make a video talking to us IT WAS EPIC cause she is one of my favorite composers, I love her music
The beginning is so good like when the cello and bass start with a deep rumble and then violas come in and finally the violin

Yessss! Soon Hee Newbold is definitely one of the best music composers I’ve ever heard!
@@vz_aliyah agreed!!!!
Fancy seeing you here. (This is my other account)
Exactly at 5:00 is for some reason the best part of the song ever. It just fills my whole mind with the music for that one short moment omg

Feels like I'm in a really adventurous dream.
Yesss, those violas sound perfect 👌👌👌👌
Viola rep!

relatable
For my orchestra we are told to put as much weight down as possible and we have around 20 cellists
5:17 is loved by all sections

@@Hornet15_ 💀
As a cello player who played this song this year I agree, that measure always gave me goosebumps when I played it
Played bass all throughout high school. Yeah, that was my favorite part. Not often we get to shine like that, but when we do, baby we shine bright.
Indeed brother
The intro to this song starts out so strong that I feel like the song should end big but it doesn’t
Yeah I agree but I believe they tell a story and it all stories come to an end ("Death"...maybe...most likely.)
@@frenchiesandpit-bulls5942 If it's based off Greek Mythology, then yeah, it's gonna end in death (most likely).
I agree, the ending isn't as powerful as the beginning.

i dont play bass but i love the low almost humming sound it makes. its so good omg
why does orchestra music hit so much harder than band music. maybe it's bc i play cello but like 🤤😩
actually band music combined with orchestra music is better. Orchestra gives a more western vibe to the music and band gives a more deep and loud vibe. So, a deep loud western song is an amazing combination.
right? like it makes me just 😩😫🥛
@@cg7240 100%
playing in a full "symphony" orchestra is the best experience any musician can have.
As a fellow cellist I couldn't agree more
It depends on the types of music no? And I’m saying this as a chorus/band/orchestra person :) I’ve experienced all
Desperately want this on Spotify
The dislikes are people who can’t understand the stories in songs without words. Das ist traurig.
Why does this simultaneously sound like Pirates of the Carribean, Undertale, and a weird inspirational movie all at once
This is literally what I just thought when listening to this!!!
i played this like a year ago and i SWEAR i thought it was spear of justice when i first heard it
This sort of sounds like the music that would be played while the credits are rolling, at least the quiet parts.
Love when Bass, violas and cello start a piece
I played this is hs orchestra 10 years ago and I will never forget it. This is a piece of music that lives within you after you hear it
5:18 is the best part!
TheDragonEmpero so TRUE!!!!!
TMI_Shreddialon u right and 4:53
IT REALLY IS YESSSS
It is!!! And the Cellos at that part too!!!!
Just came back from All County Orchestra and we played this. It was great!! I was first violin playing the higher notes too👏😊🎻
Ugh I'm so excited to play this, first year in Chamber Orchestra!!! We sound GOOD and this song is amazing. Soon Hee Newbold is hecking talented UGH
5:20 and 5:31 is why I play violin!! She expresses every instrument so well
As a viola i go crazy at thus song
My orchestra finally had the balls to sight read this. AFTER I graduated.
lol, that same thing happened to me
I'm recommending it when I get in to class next, I NEED to play this
Oh my school played this this year since the piece was composed for us. It was pretty nice to play
Girl if you're gonna lie make it believable🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@mattbryant420idk what to tell you man that’s my school’s and director’s name on the top of the score😔
Amazing! as a cellist i'm dying to play this!!!
I love how this song changes the mood after a while getting through the song
00:00 to 01:00 was my favorite.
I’m kinda proud that my class learned how to play this really nicely in 2 weeks…but in the concert, the 2nd violins messed up so badly!
Oof
What'd they do?
don't be too harsh the second part is impossible
@@toasterfly6581agreed im 1st violin but 2nd at the same time dont ask how and the 2nd part i would never be able to play
that part at 6:09 is horrible idk what she was thinking
I see what you did there.

i dont hear anything at 6:09
Lucky Dog Damn, is that possible?
Alexa huaman bruv u obviously dont get da joke
At 5:17 I feel like I have heard it in a romance movie or something. Anyone know? I might just be going crazy.
Misty Tortle I see where you're coming from, it kinda does lol
I love that part of the song, it sounds adventurous and cool!
Misty Tortle OMG!!! YES
I think it’s not specifically from a movie, but those kind of sounds or chord progressions are common in movies, such as in intense/emotional scenes. it sounds really cool! i wish that part was longer
tbh it sounds like the inspirational music they put in life hack videos
gOd this is so hard to play sometimes. but its enjoyable so its worth it 🤠 (im a violin 2 and i play all the bottom parts oof)
Im in violin one a freshman and we are probably playing this song for UIL

Awesome piece, but it is indeed difficult.

I swear soon hee newbold makes some good songs
i played this piece around 2-3 weeks ago, it’s worth practicing this piece is so much fun to play and i’m 13
5:17 is why i'm a cellist
Omg nice!! And like, the cellos have such a beautiful roll in the song. It’s amazing! The lower sounds sound so pretty
Ikr!!! Same!!!
I think 5:20 to the end is my favorite part of the song. It's so good

Played this last year. It is wonderful
im in band, I wish I could do this, this is amazing
Want to hear with and without viola part to prove the importance of the viola
Talmage Kay yes I do I’m a viola and I don’t get much respect even from my parents
I am a viola and I agree violins get all credit but without us they r nothing
@Gargi Jejurikar As a violinist, I agree. We are nothing.
Yeah my orchestra ignores the fact that we carry
As a former violist who played this piece for a state orchestra contest, 100% accurate.
1:31-3:11 and 3:11-3:21 are my favorite parts

I’ve been wanting to share what I have in my mind while listening to this piece for a while now. Hopefully it turns out ok. Enjoy:
Midevil Knight is looking out and sees Perseus and his men returning from a successful battle. The city throws them a parade with music and dancing. Flowers are being thrown at them and everyone is celebrating their victory.
Perseus arrives at the castle, first dreading what waits him inside. He had disobeyed the Queens orders. But to his surprise, when he presents himself to her, she congratulated him and apologizes for not believing in him. She tells him to come up. She grabs her ceremonial sword and declares him an official knight, general of the army.
Perseus sees movement in the castle. An assassin! He protects the queen and chases the assassin down. They run across the streets, jumping over the tops of buildings. Until he gets the assassin and arrests them.
Cut to now, Perseus is riding his horse across the fields where he grew up, reminding him of what he wanted to be and who he had become.
I Love this song!!!!
5:17 is my favorite part. (1st Violin)
Play this at 1.25x speed it’s so amazing at the end!!!!
it fits the story of Perseus so well to
i love this song but playing it when my arm hurt was a pain in the face im a bassist lol
can relate, our orchestra is playing this piece and the shifting on the bass is painful
I can’t relate but I am a bassist and it sucks when your arm hurts
