Our band director has to pick two songs of a specific list for our next concert and he's super desperate and this is a song that he threw at us and "stuck" but we play it like way under tempo.
I played euphonium on this piece last year, couldn't ace the solo once all year, i was so nervous. Still perhaps my favorite piece in my high school career.
I played this for an All-State piece, and our French Horns absolutely rocked the part at 1:32. It was amazing - they were perfectly in tune, and it made me grin every time (I played Euphonium for that)
This piece is a special memory for me. Aside from the fact that it's a whole heck of a lot of fun to play, it was the last piece I performed in what was supposed to be a very musically busy year before the lockdowns in 2020.
As a horn player I agree!! Yes I will say the clarinet part looks like someone spilled a bunch of ink...but moving the rotary valves like we do is a pain sometimes at speed. Oh yeah and the embouchure gets a nice workout!!!
I'm Defnotgosu agreed 100% this song is 1000x more of a display of skill on horn than on clarinet haha, and I’m a clarinet player. This song is so fun, but I wouldn’t say it’s hard per se, save for that tuning! Lots of chords that I don’t have much experience listening to, but at the end gosh wailing out on the Eb the entire time in tune felt like becoming god haha
Playing this for a festival on monday at the University of Washington! I’m a sophomore in the top band so I’m sadly 3rd trumpet, but it’s still a blast to play those 3 part harmonies!!

Our band is playing Hounds of Spring this year, so I came back to remind myself of what El Camino was like after playing it last year... I'm amazed I was able to play that 1st horn part.
Loved this song. Played it on flute in Grade 10. Awesome experience. I attempt to play it now and I'm like, "HOW DID I DO THIS???!!" lol. We played it at this speed too!! Can't believe it.
My sister plays bass clarinet and will be playing this at her next concert in June😀 I played flute back in high school; this piece definitely would've been BRUTAL😮 I wish her and her community concert band luck!
I played this on the flute my freshman year of high school, and we played at tempo for the concert, lets just say whenever i listen to this my fingers start to tingle
I played this for my youth orchestra finale concert and it is honestly one of the most amazing pieces of band music i have ever played, it's just so much fun, but so challenging and yet so amazing at the same time
the tuba part on this is one of the best in any piece i've played. You've got the fast paced stuff, which really challenges your intonation and timing, and the slow sections, which test your tone and tuning. Overall, this was a great piece to play and one of my favs from school.
Roger Nixon's "Fiesta del Pacifico" composed almost 20 years before this is such a harmonically and melodically more sophisticated and elegant work for band/wind ensemble based around the same sort of thematic material. It's clear that Reed had heard that Nixon work many times over the intervening 20 year period, and was eventually inspired to write this weaker, less complex, and watered down work...
I played the castanets, tambourine, and wood block for this song, and it was amazing. The part might of been a little bit boring but the song itself brings me tears of joy. I really wish I can play this again
This will be one of my first pieces I play as a college freshman (music ed major, performance next year hopefully!). Its been a rough start but I'm looking forward to learning from it and getting better!!!!
The first time I've ever really enjoyed playing Eb clarinet was playing this piece.... also the first time I could play the dynamics written for me and not just get stuck at piano to balance the ensemble
I play third clarinet on this in my band class, he (as in the original composer) did not refrain giving every clarinet part high screech notes. I have a love hate relationship with this song.
omg , i don't know wich was the first to come , this opera or castlevania, but it's almost the same song as for dracula's battle . that was my gamer mind . otherwise i really love this one. i love to draw and colour and this give me a lot of inspiration =). i think the night will be long ahah =) it made my day =D
I played 1st Trumpet and I died by playing this and practising at home . Its very dificulty as well but I fingered out whats difficult and whats not :D
I performed this in a concert in 2005... and found out later that Alfred Reed died the night we performed it :(
I guess it was that bad.....
@@keeganmclean2017 😭😭
I'm a clarinet player and my fingers literally fell off the first time my band director handed this to us.....I'm still sewing them back on...
If you’re still sewing them back on, what did you write this post with?
@@michaelcarlson3837
His nose, obviously.
I also play the clarinet!!! And my thumb felt like it was falling off my hand!
played flute for this...when our band teacher first gave it to us we were like *blink blink* WHAT IS THIS!?!? we died on the first try...
Our band director has to pick two songs of a specific list for our next concert and he's super desperate and this is a song that he threw at us and "stuck" but we play it like way under tempo.
Playing flute for this currently. DO you have any tips?
FRR I WAS LIKE MR. RODEN! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! WHY IS THERE ONLY 16TH NOTE
@@auroralorraine10 survive im a sophmore and i played this in my FRESHMEN YEAR and made SUPERIOR on it
That's one of the ways you learn. Be grateful for the vote of confidence from your director.
Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra is one of my favorite bands to listen to. I really like the crescendo, dynamics, and the rhythm of this music.
1st trumpet on this piece is amazing.
I shall quote my band director... "Channel your inner Mexican"
Gonna play this next semester... I already lit a candle for the upper woodwinds and sacrificed a lamb for the horns.
Played trombone for this. Man that once little glimpse of awesome fast melody was nice. And now ill return to the background lol
Haha same
i can relate lol
brings back memories of a simpler high school time
Sucks to suck lolol
At least you got some melody haha! I play tuba for this
According to the comments, every freaking instruments looks dope in that piece.
I die playing the french horn in this
Jean Marc me too fr
Lilly Pate 4 years ago I played french Horn for that song.... it was my first year in french Horn and in music...
Awe no! My first year playing horn we played this! So much fun!!!! But I cam from Trumpet.
I would die to be able to play this song on horn again tbh
Same! Playing it now, it's really fun, but oh my god.
Having the solo at 2:54 and praying my reed doesn’t malfunction for some reason
This solo is so Beautiful *.*
I played euphonium on this piece last year, couldn't ace the solo once all year, i was so nervous. Still perhaps my favorite piece in my high school career.
im lead euph on this piece this year for an honor band and i understand how u feel - just keep practicing and it will happen eventually
+epicmredd Same! I love this piece. My embouchure is weird so the high F always came out pinched otherwise it wasn't too bad
+Amy Tucker bass trombone

....Its amazing how in 9:02 the beautiful motive from 5:55 is played again
Yea it’s my favorite part
The tuba piece for this is SO much freaking fun to play…..
this is the song im going to convince my band director to let us play this to end my senior year with
All people talk about for this piece are clarinets. Um, excuse you, what about those horns!?
I'm Defnotgosu try playing the clarinet part and then I wanna know what you think 😂👌
I'm Defnotgosu Try playing the Horn, compare it too other songs and then this

And I thought those were humans commenting. Their instruments would not have the ability to type.
This is the audition piece for my district Honors Band this year. I play Alto Sax and I almost died. My lungs can't handle this XD
what district are you?
Edison Cigany OMEA District 5
we were in the same band
i played bass clarinet
Edison Cigany oh that's cool! I was the first chair alto. Which bass clarinet were you?
Playing this for a festival on monday at the University of Washington! I’m a sophomore in the top band so I’m sadly 3rd trumpet, but it’s still a blast to play those 3 part harmonies!!

I feel the exact same, but on F horn, haha!
I'm a senior now and this is so far the best piece I've played in my entire music career. I was a first clarinet
My sister plays bass clarinet and will be playing this at her next concert in June😀 I played flute back in high school; this piece definitely would've been BRUTAL😮 I wish her and her community concert band luck!
The oboe though....
I played this on the flute my freshman year of high school, and we played at tempo for the concert, lets just say whenever i listen to this my fingers start to tingle
Saudades de tocar essa música.. faz uns 4 anos que nunca mais toquei.... partitura de trompa 1 é espetacular
i played timpani for this its absolutely the most fun I've had in all of high school symphonic percussion
+rachel ingersoll Timp ftw
+wahhh woop
Probably the most FUN piece for ANY BAND PLAYER WHATSOEVER!!!! :D
I play the first clarinet of this piece and it's very fun!
Lol all my friends think it's hard and I'm just sitting there like ok so I play flute/piccolo and I could play your part
Also play the first clarinet! It's fun but my thumb gets really sore!!!
I played this for my youth orchestra finale concert and it is honestly one of the most amazing pieces of band music i have ever played, it's just so much fun, but so challenging and yet so amazing at the same time
the baritone part in the slow section is so freaken high
Got this chart for an honor band once and man😂 its got some spicy parts. Props to the bassoon section because I remeber how hard it was
the tuba part on this is one of the best in any piece i've played. You've got the fast paced stuff, which really challenges your intonation and timing, and the slow sections, which test your tone and tuning. Overall, this was a great piece to play and one of my favs from school.
This song for flutes is like crazy! But sooooo much fun!c:
I know! the best flute part I've played so far though. Clarinets and saxophones have a similar part to.
Which part did you play? First second or third?

We played this for competition, I'm a second chair French horn and MAN was it some fun.
I have to say playing this sophomore year was scary but nothing our band couldn't handle
All of the parts are fun xD. When you put it with a band it becomes something magical.
I play cornet on this and it's the most fun song. We all thought we died the first time we got this song but now it's so beautiful and we nail it :)
I played the castanets, tambourine, and wood block for this song, and it was amazing. The part might of been a little bit boring but the song itself brings me tears of joy. I really wish I can play this again
Love this piece!!!!
So beautiful
I played the oboe solo for this and it was so awesome!
I'm really scared!! 😱😭
I'm really scared!! 😱😭
I didn’t play the oboe solo for this and it was so not awesome😂
Thanks your introduction icreasing my taste, enjoyed. I had liked W.A.M listened 400 more.
I played this at a camp and played 2nd cornet and sat next to the 1st trumpets and felt soo bad for them but still one of my favorite pieces to play
Abby Kennemer OMG were we at the same camp?
Fort Hays?
Yeah!
what instrument?
Abby Kennemer flute
Total blast to play on the oboe, oh man. Most fun I ever had in band!
I love this song
We are playing this in youth concert band and I'm on the alto clarinet and I love it so much
Was supposed to play this for festival season before quarantine :(
Played This Song For Contest on 2nd Clarinet!! WayyFun!! My Favorite Part Was At Measure 75. We played It Just Slightly Slower Than This.
The first time I listened to this with sheet music on drums, I got lost like fifteen seconds in.
The first flute part for this almost gave me arthritis but it was so worth it
Our middle school band is playing this!!!! So exited
Still one of the best recording with good intonation and correct tempo across the sections
My school using this song as a marching show!!!
日本人いなくてワロタ そしてうますぎ
Our bands show a few years back had this piece in it. just think how hard it would to play this while marching...
Oh heck nawwwwwww
Bryce Lee this our marching this year
This will be one of my first pieces I play as a college freshman (music ed major, performance next year hopefully!). Its been a rough start but I'm looking forward to learning from it and getting better!!!!
Lol, I know. I'm playing 2nd trombone in the Crane Concert band with you XD.
Nadine Morgan im a senior in high school and our band director is giving is this piece to play for state assessment 😬 i play the 1st trumpet part
This song will be broadcast live on my channel at 7 p.m. This song is really good.
This sounds so good I cant wait to play this!
anyone ever play percussion in this piece? it's ridiculous XD
I played the mallets for this piece with a friend. Wow that marimba part was fun.
I played marimba, it was very cool!
Only ridiculous to those unwilling to try
I played all percussion part at least once :D Gotta love the snare part! THAT GROOVE!
Timpani!!! Best part by far.
One of my favourites, although the 1st Trombone was a real workout for me :P
Same, man. Same.
second Trombone
This is a masterpiece
I loved playing sax part on this song!
supper...
My Band has us practicing this as well as Espirit de Corps and Melody Shop...RIP
Very nice!
I played the Tenor Sax for this XD i had it easy compared to some of the other parts, i had the melody on the easiest part of the song
Hairdresser Octopus lmao
The first time I've ever really enjoyed playing Eb clarinet was playing this piece.... also the first time I could play the dynamics written for me and not just get stuck at piano to balance the ensemble
Wow, just wow I wish I could play horn like that
i played 5th trumpet on this its hard
+Lucas Blake 5th :o
immaculate.
the best in the world!
Ayp we're playing this in our marching show
Grade 9 band: Easy mode. Grade 10 band: Easy mode. Grade 11/12 band... Sight reading this as soon as we get it... Please carry us grade 12s...
Oboe solo was soooo fun!!!
Dang this is spicy
Oh no....
*SOMEBODY SAVE ME*
Horns ftw :3 sorry clarinets ^^
Why should we be troubled? :D
I am a freshman horn player in our top band (and the only freshman) and this song is absolutely amazing on horn
+Mark Land I'm a 8th grader that's playing this song and I barely can play the first part. I love this song anyway.
Its fantastic once you get it. Its definitely one to practice outside of class. A lot. Khristien Mina
I play french horn, and this is horrible to play haha so fast and high, but it sounds amazing!
I have a day to learn the cymbal part for this, wish me luck yall!
Oh my God the bassoon part is crazy
woodwinds be like : I can't breath
ใครว่ะ หน้าคุ้นๆ
hmm
ภูมิไหนวะ รัฐภูมิ?

it made my day =D
Tricky song for clarinets hahaha but I'm loving playing it in band this year ^.^
that tricky tambourine part around 5:30 still giving me nightmares esp. as my conductor slowed that bar by a lot more than in this recording!
show de bola
molto bella e molto difficile
L'ho suonato con i timpani !
I'm a highschool clarinet player and this is my favorite piece but it is a bit difficult
the tubas in our band alternated measures during the first part, it was pretty funny
lucky =( my director says were not ready -.- we have a year tho for my senior yr so we should be ready by then
Fuck me this is going to be our marching show
My Bass Drum part!
Played this in middle school, and I was pleasantly surprised that the bass clarinets actually had parts that required focus.
I played 1st Trumpet and I died by playing this and practising at home . Its very dificulty as well but I fingered out whats difficult and whats not :D
That Euphonium solo at the end of 2nd movement
István Huffnáger there really aren't movements to this piece, just sections
English is not my mothertongue. I'm Hungarian. The "section" didn't come to my mind
even though I can barely hear them on mobile youtube Tubas FTW!!
