This is the last piece my band director is going to conduct at my school before he leaves. It makes me sad every time I listen to this piece because the piece was written about a boy who’s going off to war, maybe to never see his family again. The parallels between the two situations that were faced make this a rightful last piece for my director.
That Sucks. I feel you.
You gave me chills
That’s awesome! It was my band directors last piece before she passed away from ovarian cancer.
Breathe together, play together ❤
Well not literally lmao wanna ensure stagger breaths are occurring
@@atomicbogator6799 -I believe she is referring to entrances, so the statement stands.
came here to say this, amen
I have heard that phrase 900 times today I'm going to simply stop breathing
"the band that breathes together, plays together'' My high school band teacher literally every day
Had one of the best tuba teachers on the planet, John Olah. Told me before district evaluations "play the lower octave." Best advice ever. Young tuba players take note. Hit the low F.
The last piece I played as part of a college ensemble was Irish Tune. I went out playing that low F.
Never have to tell a low brass player that twice
The intonation is just stunning and one of the best parts about the President’s Own. Just perfectly in tune. When it locks, the overtones just make you cry.
When I first them live I literally couldn't believe it. My lower jaw was on the floor.
Bruh
@@cyril2312 music teachers am I right 🤣
They even breathe all together at all the proper places, magic
It's all about listening to the tubas.
Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the flowers dying
'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so
But when ye come and all the roses falling
And I am dead as dead I well may be
Go out and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me
And I will hear tho' soft you tread above me
And then my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me
Remember 1916. Never forget that Easter Week.
The solo clarinet entrance at 2:38 is brutal to pull off to perfection and in tune. Obviously it was nailed here. This performance was utter perfection. If it doesn't move you, you're dead.
not enough bass
No, not dead. Untrained. It is the consequence of Pop Music’s over attention to lyrics for meaning at the expense of all that music has to offer.
You're not wrong!!!
I have that clarinet solo to play in a competition in a couple of weeks 😬
1:40 is officially one of my favorite chords I’ve ever heard played by any ensemble. When the bass note drops through the floor and the French Horns just sing above the rest of the Band. I could seriously listen to just that
chord all day.
*and trombone, the trombone is the same high note in the chord
@@jasonmohr Indeed. Thank you for pointing it out. (Blame my being a trumpet player for not noticing or highlighting the trombones :P haha)
Can’t forget euphoniums!! That purity of sound from Hiram and Mark had me on the floor gasping for breath as my soul was wrenched from my body. LOL
Amazing. This is the best recording /performance of this that I've ever heard. The balance is unbelievable. The trumpet part is brutal on the chops. Difficult piece despite half notes and quarter notes.
Yep. This is the best of the best, perfectly selected people to play for the president. This band is elite.
This piece makes me big emotional. Like the biggest of emotionals
no it dosent
@@milesburke3858 lmao
You mean like,," Bigly?" ha
I think it's supposed to :)
I'm in tears by the end of this every time tbh
I unexpectedly lost my Grandfather a little over a week ago. Needless to say, it's been hard. But there is a great comfort in this beautiful piece ❤🩹
I had the privilege to conduct this piece at a Veteran's Day memorial the year i graduated from HS. This piece will always have a place in my heart. Its gonna be the first piece I do when I become a music teacher.
Right there with you. This was the very first piece I ever conducted; it lit a fire in me that has never dimmed.
Did you become a music teacher?
Is there anything as aurally pleasing as a big wall of well tuned brass chords? Goosebumps!
I love the Euphonioum part such beautiful tone and phrasing, I once had this talent and let it all go. Just wished I believed in myself more, I could be sat in the exact same place these musicians are but as a British Army Bandsman much love xx
It's never too late to give up on your dream!
@@TigerPrawn_ how would I go about this please?
@@TigerPrawn_ thankyou I'am looking into rejoining asap 🎼
Just like riding a bike, you never lose the talent. You just need to search your soul for a reason to get it again.
Being playing concert bands for about 40 years & this is the best arrangement i have played by a mile.
absolutely stunning! So balanced from top to bottom, but I really appreciated the quality of the lower voices and how strong they were!
Yes, low brass played beautifully.
The inner voices really do a great job💪
This brings back memories when I had the opportunity to play this piece in high school. This performance brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful!
I would have had an out of body experience hearing something so beautiful in person
That flute solo in verse 2 is stunning. ❤
Everyone is being very appreciative and serious here so I'll start by saying that this is a beautiful arrangement and performance of a classic well-loved piece, and I especially love the Euphoniums in this.
That being said, I thought it hilarious at 3:40 that homeboys oboe and mr. timpani are just sitting there during the climax with nothing to do.
The only part of the whole piece is the cymbal roll. Us percussionists often have long breaks doing nothing but counting bars. Seems almost wrong in a [aid gig you receive the same $$ as the strings & woodwind which are playing most of the time.
@@helpstopanimalabuse8153 our notes are more valuable than theirs 😎
The Horns at 3:42, Omg bro I could never play that high and loud at the same time
Can't beat this for tone, clarity and internation will always be one of my favourites as i know it note by note, Euphonioum player 2020
Also one of the very last pieces I played with the Lancashire Youth Concert Band
Awesome! Good stuff, man! Love the phrasing in this song and it's chords are beautiful! ❤😁👍🏻
The hair stood up on the back of my neck when the French Horns came in during the middle section, then all the hairs on the body stood up when the band came in after that. Dedicate this to the memory of my late brother Dan, 1958-2020
Absolutely beautiful! Very pretty song! The phrasing and chords are fantastic! Great performance! The brass is outstanding! ❤😁👍🏻
I had the pleasure of attending this concert, and hearing Irish Tune live in Orchestra Hall was absolutely breathtaking. There will never be a better performance. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this, I was unaware it was being recorded.
Perfect, perfect, perfect...maybe the Marine Band should run the country...
I have been playing in bands for the last 44 years & this is the best arrangement i have heard.
From a musical standpoint...the tempi are absolutely spot on. There is a 'sweet spot' for Irish Tune where the music actually 'sings'....here it is...the Golden Section...
What a fabulous band. Grainger’s arrangement has never been surpassed.
Spine tingling.
I love Grainger's music. Not only is this performance exquisite, but emotional as well. Takes me back to my days in my college wind ensemble.
This was a few years before my time but Ryan Nowlin (the conductor) used to direct at my High School.
Wow! Just magnificent.
OMG. This is just wonderful. Articulation, sound, balance, style, dynamic. Excelente job. God bless U.S.A. ✋😀🙏
*God bless Russia and China
Played this in my High School honor band forever ago and hearing this just overwhelmed me with emotion and nostalgia.
I'll always be in awe of how music has the power to evoke such emotions and connect people over spans of years
If this doesn't move you, you're dead.
It just doesn't get any better than this. I already have a huge soft spot for this piece; it was the first work I ever conducted, so it carries a great deal of emotional meaning for me - and to hear it played with this level of balance, intonation, phrasing, dynamic control and feeling had me in tears all over again. Thank you, Capt. (now Major) Ryan Nowlin and the USMB.
An exquisite performance, in one of the world's holiest temples for music.
That was just the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard
this is my favorite wind band song of all time. it has no competition, it's just gorgeous
They always play near perfection, unbelievable. The horn section is so awesome too. Watching from one of your allies, the 🇵🇭Philippines.
How could anyone give this video a thumbs down? That's insane... this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
Wow that flute tone
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
an A++ grade Band thanks for your service
I really want to know who are the 24 people who disliked this. I really hope they are not music educators because if so they should not have a degree in music ed. All 3 T's (Time, Tone, Technique) are unbelievable in this recording there is nothing else that could be wrong unless you disliked the balance of the trumpet section. And even still this is the best band in all of the United States.
Absolute perfection every time I hear this recording I get goosebumps from my forehead to my toes.. they truly are the best there in the world…
Beautiful. Beautiful music to soothe our souls!
This song is enough to make me tear up. Such beauty.
This is truly such a beautiful performance
Wonderful work by all. Breathtaking.
Stunning!!!!My heart just soared with the sound of this wonderful rendition!!!!!Janet Bergstrom
Wow, that is absolutely lovely, just beautiful!
I have to play this piece tomorrow....for entrance in a college band ....I'll be playing the baritone (euphonium) it will be completely on my own...no others involved.....
How’s it go?
I played this on euphonium in my junior year of high school in the Kauffman last year, it was so hard to get it just right but was so satisfying after the countless hours put into it
it was good!! @@Eloweh
It’s so perfect it irritates me. 😩
Beautiful. Just beautiful. So much artistry and care. Thank you, President's Own.
THE FREAKING FRENCH HORN RIPS ARE SO GOOD IM SO OBSESSED
My god... its so beautiful...
It was such a pleasure hearing that live! Thank you for posting!
Bravo! ❤
Semplicemente STRAORDINARI. Vivissimi complimenti a questa orchestra fantastica
Absolutely amazing. No words can describe this perfection.
man i miss this
This song is very great. We practice this song in the brass band. it's different, but it's fan. I remember christmas. The day after tomorrow is christmas. l want to play this song.
Bravo. Well done.
Holy shit this has me tearing up
My favorite Granger.....And the band: Sometimes they play soft and sometimes loud...I wish that would catch on a little more.
Fabulous.
Class.
Fantastic!!! Only the U.S. Marine Band can do justice to this piece.
STRAORDINARIA ESECUZIONE
Very Beautiful, just how the piece is written gives me the feels as my band played this at a concert we had before this Pandemic hit
GOD BLESS AMERICA ❤️❤️❤️...
There are various interpretatiions of the song's meaning. There is little doubt in my mind that it concerns a son who had to leave Ireland due to its troubles. That is supported by both the lyrics and Irish history.
Perfect
Beautiful. No better arrangement, and no better recording of this arrangement. I cannot follow the conductor at all, though. It's almost like he's conducting an entirely different piece.
Some ensembles tend to play behind the conductor's ictus, as opposed to exactly aligned. It depends on the ensemble and on the conductor. ua-cam.com/video/ILkYMD8zuH8/v-deo.htmlm3s
Really, I thought his pattern was pretty simple. IG it depends on what you're used to.
The band is leading their conductor.
When an ensemble is this good, there are times the conductor is completely incidental. I strive to reach this level with my bands. I often tell my players, "we'll know you've mastered it when I can just sit back and watch."
@@alaskannyc I agree. Not needed at all in this group!
OK ~ I'll admit it...I cried ~ SO beautiful!!!
I have to listen to this for band class;-;
Oof same
I might be in the same band class as u idek
@@samonakian9280 lol
Phenomenal.
great banding ! ♫♪
Bro I play trombone in band and this is what we’re playing and it’s so freaking anoying to lern -__- but this will be the outcome at the band concert so totally worth it
Superb. Sigh.
Maravilhoso. Bravi
As a trumpet player, it sounds simple but it’s a little challenging. Get all the wind can get.
I've never ever in my life seen oboists play with some sort of foam-looking mute in their bell!!! Is that a Marine Band thing, or am I missing out on something...?!?!
Just. . .Wow.
The melody gets swallowed up by the crescendo from the brass
UM Saxes Fall ‘24 Excerpt #1 starts at 0:00
hi mark!!!
It's the horns at 3:47, says this trombonist.
Nice
LISTEN: Beautiful. Perfect.
LOOK: Where in America do these guys hang out? Why are there no black musicians? Do blacks not want to play that music? Or what?
The Londonderry Air also known as Danny Boy.
Awww... that alto clarinet at 1:40 seems a bit overtaken by emotion... 🥲
2:27
😊
Finally yes!!! Lol
oboe mutes!
I am so confused about them I could find nothing online? Please describe their purpose
Matt Bell If this is a comment about the oboes wishing the balance of the band....that’s the way Grainger wrote. Band is soft, and oboes are in the bottom of their register. They will stick out, rather like a bagpipe, and that’s what Grainger intended.
So whoever wrote "You Raise Me Up" definitely plagiarized a bit from this tune right?
Well, it was based on the folk tune that this piece itself was based on, so they both plagarized
1:42 was the alto clarinetist crying?
he mightve been sick and was sniffling
who knows
@@camden5058 or farting
And.......THIS IS THE RECORDING I HAVE ON DVD!!!!!! NO KIDDING
If this guy is the conductor why doesnt he tell the band to do it in the English way?
There really should not be any slowdowns and pauses in this song. Just straight forward. No 'milking' of the song and its phrases.
Do it the straight forward English way. Itll come out more beautiful.
A beautiful rendition. But, what the hell is the conductor doing?
David Leist thats Ryan Nowlin. he conducted our all state band last year, and i will admit it was hard learning to follow him but HES THE BEST
