Me sight reading this in band: I hate this.
Me listening to it at home: I love this!
ye
It sucked but I still love this song years later.
I played timpani on this song, it was so hard🙃 but fun haha
Nah frrr
lol me too French horn btw
When people walk into rehearsal late
CloneHat funny :)
Lol made me chuckle
LOL! :D
Now imagine using this at a college commencement instead of Pomp and Circumstance.
alcoremortis mine does!!
My alma mater did for my college graduation!
In highschool, over 20 years ago, I was in band and this was always played as the graduates exited. This is my favorite piece to play to this day when I find time to play around on one of my clarinets.
We did Pomp and Circumstance for the people walking in or whatever, but the Star Wars throne room for the walk out.
This was used for my high school's recessional along with Grundmann's March Resessional and Shotakovitch's Festive Overture.
1:04 I remember playing the trumpet solo back in band camp. Good memories. Legendary piece.
brings back very good memories from playing clarinet in middle school band, just love that nostalgia :)
I'm amazed by how well the title reflects the piece. I can almost see the royal dukes and princes walking elegantly through the streets to cheering crowds on their way to the great palace.
Precious Gaffer I was thinking this piece had the heroic feeling of the music used in movies like "Rocky". I just listened to the music from the training montage from "Rocky" and I was listening for the military drums used in this piece but the Rocky score didn't use them.
I agree with you that this piece definitely evokes nobility, but a more modern use might be to show someone achieving nobility through effort (like a training montage for example).
Just a thought.

What have you done
It’s all in the use of modal tonality and the gestures with which the conductor expresses them my dear student.
yes evokes all that
When I first played this, I was told by my conductor to envision Russian nobility parading through town with their kids and I've never forgotten it:
0:31-0:59, 1:22- 2:09 is The King
1:00-1:20 is The Queen
2:10-2:32 is Princess Anastasia
2:33-2:55 is Prince Dmitri
And so on...
Now, whenever I listen to this, I think of them!
God save the Tsar
Not king - Tsar!
MINE DID A SIMILAR THING LMAO
@@dihydrogenmonoxide7600 no no no
I love this song. I was a freshman when my high school band director did the equivalent of "do you want to see something cool?" He then had the upperclassmen play this song. To say it was a religious experience is an understatement.
It is NOT a song ... it's a piece. A 'song' has SINGERS ...
David Trainer go back to eating raw potatoes whilst you are drunk
@@foveauxbear Very unnecessary comment.
Same except my director whipped out Shostakovich's festive overture. Go give that a listen
@@tomasgonzalez4072 wrong. That comment was extremely necessary.
One measure of a song's greatness is what you FEEL when listening to it. I first heard this one back in 86 on a promotional tape and had no idea of its title. I was conjuring up images of royalty in a parade with confetti thrown all about. It was only months later that I learned the title and I was amazed!
We marched to this for graduation in place of Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance.
I've been trying to get my director to do it for my graduation because it would just sound better 😭
Victoria Maranan We did both at my graduation.
The institution where I teach uses it.
Of all the classical music ever composed this is my all time favorite piece ,from one of the best ever composers.
@@39KHall by any chance did you attend Humberside Collegiate in Toronto?
While noodling around on the internet several years ago just looking for some decent music for a change, excluding rap, jazz and rock, I landed on a website from NYC that offered Russian recordings, so listened to a bunch of them, which they allowed without restriction(!!!!). I tripped into a disk of the Russian State Wind Orchestra and was absolutely blown away when I heard their performance of this piece!! Risk or not, I absolutely had to have this music. I was pleasantly surprised when the service was outstanding--got my disk in two days and have been burning holes in it ever since. My favorite "activity" is playing this in my auto, and when some kid pulls alongside thumping and throbbing rap music, I crank this up!!!! One day, one kid rolled down the passenger window and said---"Those are some horns, man!" LOL
Lol, the last bit. you're a legend man. Prefer this more than most rap today xD
One of my favorite pieces by one of my favorite classical composers!
The beautiful complexity is absolutely breathtaking...just when you think you have it figured out, there are more delightful surprises!
As a horn player I loved having the opportunity to play the melody rather than the typical parts we would get in high school band class. This song has stuck with me for years and I still love it.
A paragon of musical brilliance. I wish everyone in the world could hear this song.
Couldn't agree more!
You should listen to chief keef or Gucci mane
cesar claudio Good stuff! His gf/fiancé is gorgeous, omfg! Very young gentleman, does he have his own label?
Yeah me too. But we all know that it will never happen. Those other people that were never in band and just took music depreciation will never understand.
Omg it's you
We did this in choir, (nigh impossible finding a recording with chorus.) Our orchestra accompanied. The best thing I've done in life.
The Frederick Douglass High School Band in Baltimore, Maryland played this in 1975 for competition and we received the highest ranking of over ten state bands. A+++.
One of my favorite pieces from high school. Such a fun one to play and such a lovely melody.
we just performed it at our solo and ensemble contest, and the judge was really impressed! not only did we get a division 1 rating, but we also got best in room!
we played this in my high school concert band. I’m glad that it just happened to pop into my head today, because I haven’t heard it in like 15 years.
This piece completely uplifts my heart and sets me free! Thank you so much for sharing this. It made my day!
Played this in 7th grade band (played bassoon). Went to a music camp that summer, told the orchestra conductor I had played it when he happen to mention it. He was surprised and delighted.
what my mother walked down the isle to. Beautiful and underrated!!
This is the best intro / fanfare I have ever heard. In any piece. You are already energized and raring to go when the theme is introduced. His greatest work of all in my humble opinion.
Favorite piece of music as a kid. Still love it to death.
i know exactly how you feel.
Amen. I don't even like marches or music with a military overtone to it but this is a beautiful piece. Catchy theme!!
My son played French Horn in an excellent h.s. band and they played this piece. I have been in love with it ever since!!
Thank you Oancitizen for directing me towards this!
Like so many here, I first met this piece while playing it in an arrangement for concert band, and I have loved it ever since. One of the noblest tunes I have ever heard.
In the 1960's my high school was using this as our graduation processional. My instrument in the band was the tympani (kettle drums).
We performed this in my high school band when I was a senior, it played a big role in my introduction to classical music.
One of the best klasickmusic of the world.
I played this piece in a small youth orchestra as a cellist and loved it. Still have the sheet music somewhere.
This music transports me to places of lore, fantasy, old times and lovely English seascapes. Thankyou.
I love this version! Un-rushed, it just swells so beautifully and fills my heart!
I remember playing this in 8th grade honors band. We weren't this good, but by God, we got through it.
this is the best Procession Of The Nobles in UA-cam
This was the processional at our wedding. It was played by a 12 piece brass ensemble of our friends. Very hard to play. It was glorious!!
Our 1963 Big 9 Select Band (Minnesota) performed this stirring piece in concert. Dr Frank Ben conducted. Tremendous experience to be a participant.
I love classical pieces like this I always imagine swashbuckling or going into battle while this plays I LOVE ALL FORMS OF MUSIC it’s food for the soul ❤️🙏🏽👍🏽🌎
When you sight read the piece in class and wonder how you'll ever do it 🎺
It all worked out for me... somehow
ACTUALLY SAME. I was in seventh grade.
At least I wasn’t alone on second part and could hide behind the other guy.
I sight read at district band I was fine
I, too, marched into this wonderful piece for my college graduation. It was unforgettable.The recessional was the March of the Sardar, also memorable.
I'm learning this in high school marching band its hard but we will have to learn
MineMaster1124 The piece is in 3/4. How in the Musical Hells would you march to this?
"Oh, sorry! Didn't notice you there. Welcome to Brows Held High! :D "
This was the first piece I ever played in orchestra. How that takes me back. Good day to be a bassoonist.
Played this in my highschool brass band. Brings back memories.
I have always loved his music and have everything he ever recorded but this was always my all-time favorite of his Thank you
We played this in my high school band, it was so hard but I looooved it T_T
The trumpets are so clean and perfect it sounds great
A wonderful composition that reminds me of the time my family sat in the same room in the evenings listening to this music and enjoying each others company before bedtime.
We played this in my high school marching band, it was SO FUN!!!!
First song I ever auditioned on in college! So cool!
i freaking love this piece
I'm usually a Baroque/Classical lover but this 19th century piece is very inspiring and tuneful. Thanks for uploading it.
I remember WKYC Channel 3 in Cleveland used excerpts of this march in the opening music for their news broadcast.
We are playing this in my band and I am first trumpet! Practice!
I love this piece
Fantastic !
this was theme/opening/closing credits to current affairs program "what the papers say" in mid sixties. I remember it very well.
Inside Washington On WUSA 9
This is probably my favourite classical music piece I have ever listened to so far! It's so good! Oh, my gosh! :D
Mlada. I had an old album of Arthur Fiedler and Boston Pops given to me by my aunt [like a second mother to me] of opera "big tune" favorites and this march came on the album.
We get to play this in my high school's Symphony Orchestra!!! And I play trumpet!
awesomeness, played this last year Rimsky-Korsakov is a genius, him, Saint-Saens and Bach are my favorite
great tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite piece of music! Hands down!
EPIC!!
wow this piece takes me back
Playing this song in band, It has an epic horn part!!!
Wonderful piece! Bravo!
MY FAV OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Magnificent!
I LOVE this piece!!
First time hearing this, and I like it a lot.
This is the best orchestra piece ever!
Best alarm music I ever had.
Great sense of imagination !💐
I looooooove this piece, partly because us horn players finally get an epic solo!
I used it for San Diego State’s College of Arts and Letters Commencement for 20 years.
I love this piece...it is truly outstanding!!!
My band and I just played this for band festival and I have to say it is probably one of the more difficult pieces I have yet to play in my music career!!!
Rimsky-Korsakov made an unforgettable piece!!!
40 or so years ago my drum and bugle corps did a not too bad a rendition of this fantastic piece. Of course it took all winter to get it right. Not too shabby for teenagers.
Man I am sorry I didn't get to hear this piece sooner. It's amazing! I'm playing 1st cornet , and that stuff is pretty hard, but worth it when you get to hear the entire piece come together.
We’re playing this song at our Jr. High (7th-8th grade) Spring Band Concert
This needs to reach every ear in the nation!
This made me cry it was sooooooooo good :)
the clarinet part is insane, but I love it!
When you know you played it, just cant remember when...
Öşlğçğ ği ç çi ğiğö ğon çu ö
This piece and Mussorgsky's "Great Gate of Kiev" work very well as processional music for academic commencement ceremonies.
They use this at Stanford’s Commencement and have since I was there in the 1970s.
WONDERFUL!!! Sooo stirring and inspirational! Courageous.
Some of us who are bit long in tooth remember this was used as the theme for Inside Washington/Agronsky and Co. back in the day. Similarly, Firing Line used part of Bernstein's Candide. If you ever watch some of his televised NYP Young People's concerts videos - an amazing man, quite the educator as we were growing up.
This piece rocks! one of my favorites
"Welcome to Brows Held High!"
I agree. Beautifully performed.
There shall be the laying of the red carpet! The throwing of the rose petals! The playing of the trumpet!
This is at a much faster tempo than when we played, mainly because our director kept telling us that nobles don't sprint or rush. Still, I like it. Thanks for uploading this. :)
The piece is very fun to play
Sophomore here in my school’s top band (out of 3). We’re playing this and I’m first trumpet. Not sure how it’s going to go since we go back to full at home in 2 weeks
Playing this song for orchestra. We are really good it sounds good
Oh my god i'm playing this in my symphony and i'm the first trumpet and i have solos why does korsakov hate us : ( by the end of the concert i'm not gonna have lip muscles anymore
Shruthi Tuplur Better build then up to last longer, then.
But as a clarinet who alternates between parts when needed, I feel your pain. Quite literally, might I add.
This was one of the first pieces I ever played (as a 1st violin, and its not easy for us either!) so much bowing, and it gets really silly near the end of the piece. By the end of it I felt like my arm was going to fall off!
best of luck in your performance
I am playing this in my orchestra on violin. The violin part is alright I guess.
Shruthi Tuplur I’m in your same position rn.
Played this in high school 20 years ago: 1st cornet part with trumpet. Your comment is hilarious! That pretty much sums it up!! Total lip destruction! I miss playing real music.
I'm playing this with my chamber orchestra as a cello and I love this piece. :)
pure delight. You can see them marching in. What a great processional it would make for the special guests arriving at a church wedding and being escorted up the aisle ... if only one could afford the Dallas Symphony Orchestra or this terrific bunch.
played this in HS on the trumpet and the baritone......not sure which i prefer but what an excellent song to play!!!!! no matter the instrument!!!
i played this on graduation from college and all the profs would march in while this played
I hope to play this at my graduation next month before I walk across the stage ad my last time playing as a student with my orchestra director. Praying it happens!
I remember this as John Chester's theme song when he was host on WGMS/WETA Washington DC. Whenever I hear it, I'm reminded of him; however, sometimes R-K leads me astray. It turns out he used the same or similar fanfares in "Tale of Tsar Saltan". I happened to hear the "imposter" today, which sent me searching for the real thing.
