To those referencing the Dave Steinmayer Airmen of Note version, this was originally performed by Bill Watrous and the Manhattan Wildlife Refuge big band off of their namesake album released in 1974
this song is truly life-changing. i dont know what it is but after playing the drumset and being able to be part of a band that perfomed this, my life was changed
If you look up school spain school spectacular stage band theres this band from Australia where the 1st trombone player played all the cues (all 8va cues) it's a crazy good band
Notice how the 1st Tbone in this recording couldn’t reach the octave ranges that Bill Watrous hit LMAO. It’s okay though. It’s REALLY tough to hit ranges like that on Tbone. Considering how big the mouthpiece is than that of a trumpet or French Horn
I have the flute part for this song, but I wasn't expecting the fact that I wouldn't switch between alto 1 and flute. I just play both parts the whole time
I think this “promo” was recorded with the average school ensemble trombone player in mind. They could’ve probably find a guy who could record it in the upper range if they wanted. That’s probably why it was also recorded at a comfortable slower tempo.
It could be written atonally, which means that the entire song is written without any designated key signature, and accidentals are written in wherever the chord structure needs them. Look up "Along Came Betty", it's a pretty good example. Although, I don't think Spain was originally written that way, it could be just arranged to make it easier to read for the composer or for the musicians.
Man, Chick Corea brought fun to the Jazz Band room. Rest in peace.
Let me tell ya, my teacher *is* having us play it fast as 1.25x speed. It’s hard, but I love listening to it at 1.25x
Chamberedlight - take the ball and run with it!
Band director: Everyone is important and plays a role. And we all here to have fun
Trombone part 2&3:
I was complaining about a song I play in concert band and my band teacher said "just wait until you see Spain!"
...
I'm trombone 2...
That lead trumpet part is insane, I'm pretty sure that's Wayne Bergeron playing it too
Ya it def sounds like Wayne at 1:26

Rest in peace Chick. Thanks for all the contributions... kudos to John on this.

I'm 1st Trumpet on this, pray for me.
Good luck dude
How is it?
@@bysuke- A nightmare. My fellow trumpets continue to laugh at me having to suffer.
@@nijaethompson7647 do you play the double Gs?
@@bysuke- God knows I try, lol.

Oh hey me on my other account, I actually like the airmen of note one more now, the recording with Joe eckert soloing specifically
Oh yeah I love that vid is great, that’s a high school band as well, so impressive , I did spec in 2019, so good
Man you guys have been uploading all of the best arrangements you have! Love it!
wow I can finally hear the flutes
that´s nothing to be glad of though
Stone Cold how so?
@@theghattlings8995 cuz flutes do not belong in jazz
@@yazzer4963 jazz flute is cool tho
@@yazzer4963 Said the purist.
Great professional level arrangement. Love the soprano sax.
Best arrangement I’ve heard so far
Now this is a grade 5.
Play it at 1.25x speed and you get close to the Airmen of Note version
best version
I love it at this speed
Cowardly lead trombone on this recording
Agreed! Gotta own it!
That’s a tough 1st bone part lol
if you´re properly trained, it isn´t that hard...
I looooove the solo though
@@Thomas-vc9gv not quite a student chart though, double Fb
this was the arrangement recorderd on the "Manhattan Wildlife Refuge" record by Bill Watrous
@@larrysfinger648 I love bill watrous
Freshman year, 1st bone part, im gonna die real quick
Don't worry, you aren't alone.
RIP
If it makes you feel better, the first trumpet also has to suffer.
I played trombone back in the 90s, without this great tool, I wonder how you did.
How ever you ARE AMAZING. Congratulations.
Rest in Peace, legend.
dang this piece is a banger, I wonder if my school Jazz band have played this, especially since it sounds super familiar
memories of my 7th grade jazz band so nice.
hell naw 7th grade is crazy

OOHHH MAN!!!!! THIS IS OF THIS SOLAR SISTEM... JUST 10 + 1 WITH PRAISE!!!!
bone 4 is absolutely fire at the end where lead trumpet is going off
Cool! But I'm really missing Dave Steinmeyer's trombone ad-lib at the end.
1:44 is when solos start (self reminder)
This really reminds me of the version Dave Steinmeyer and The Airmen of Note did
It actually is that version! I just played the 1st bone part with my jazz band and it’s insane.
we're playing a different arrangement of this in hs jazz band tomorrow wooooooooooo
Essw é Um som muito agradável que nos faz balançar
Played sax for this , so fun to play 🎉
Trombone 2 and 3 crying in sadness
So airmen just 8va the 2,3 and fourth part for trumpets
Yes and it sounds sexy

It's Dave Steinmeyer not Bill Watrous.
@@limsoduh5277 Watrous played on the original recording of this song with his band in 1974
@@satch153Ah sorry, my bad
@@satch153 no he didnt, bill played the soprano sax in the recording
Stuffed Crust bill never played a soprano sax, he played the octave up of the melody on his trombone to reach the octave of the sap sax
Why is the Soprano Sax solo part cut, what blasphemy
I have the flute part for this song, but I wasn't expecting the fact that I wouldn't switch between alto 1 and flute. I just play both parts the whole time
Everyone complaining about the trumpet and trombone but what about the bass part at full speed
That 1st Trumpet tho
I don't even see why there needs to be an Alto 1 and 2 part if the Flute and Sop Sax take up the majority
I play the bass trombone on this and I love my pedal Bb.
2:01 you know the transition there would be better to understand if you didn't cut right into the sixeight part right off the bat.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME... OUCHHHH
Fun Fact: There’s actually a lyric version look it up it’s really good!
I think this “promo” was recorded with the average school ensemble trombone player in mind. They could’ve probably find a guy who could record it in the upper range if they wanted. That’s probably why it was also recorded at a comfortable slower tempo.
Awesome notation, why no key signature?
It could be written atonally, which means that the entire song is written without any designated key signature, and accidentals are written in wherever the chord structure needs them. Look up "Along Came Betty", it's a pretty good example. Although, I don't think Spain was originally written that way, it could be just arranged to make it easier to read for the composer or for the musicians.
I'll play the 2:01 solo but I can't make myself so this cutting is very cruel for me ><
Spain is far cool song, I haven't have mistake...
I wanna play this on alto and flute so badly after hearing it sucks that theres so much rests though
The airmen of note version is 144 bpm
Yo I am happy I am doing 2nd alto for this
En que link se pueden comprar estas colecciones pdf+mp3 online...??
swag messiah
Socastee is playing the light as a feather version rn. The whole band loves it.
dang the lower opt on tbn 1 😢
Trying to sightread piano on this is absolute torture
Hey I’m playing that
Playing this on flute in 8th grade😭😭
rip chick 😔
Im pretty sure the tempo should be a lot faster than this, it kinda jusf feels like it's dragging the whole time
This Should be Grade 6 or 5.5 at least
J’ai
F Y nelly = ( eye)
should’ve been in B minor 😤
Why? (If your only reason is that it's the original key, think of a better reason before answering.)
Rikard Peterson Original key ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RivasJazz7b9 lol
RivasJazz7b9 concert B is a pretty tough key to work in considering they’re writing in almost all B flat instruments
Isn’t the original Spain in F minor?
Put this in 1.25 speed you’re welcome
1.25x honestly ruins it.
