A lot of humor, I was chuckling most of the way through. Witty, I would say. Love the flutes in pairs, very tongue in cheek. Delightful.
This performance is unreal! UMich symphony is fantastic.
I was just reading about oliver nelson the jazz composer and he said while in tokyo the philharmonic orchestra played this tune and it made him realize he wanted to be a composer, it open his eyes. So here I am, powerful shit. Beautiful piece
We played this my freshman year in high school - what a huge change coming from middle school band to THIS
Great choice for a wind ensemble!A wonderful piece!
Not heard this piece before... delightful - and a great performance, of course 😁
I’m doing so much research on this 1st movement because I made my Highschool Wind Ensemble, and we are playing this and I am a mc freaking freshmen and I’m not read to play this
Good luck. This is a heck of a piece to be playing as a high school freshman.
Ayyy me too
@@connorgibson4528 oh hi connor
@@mikesimpson3207 i’m a freshman and we have to play it for uil 😭 ( i’m a clarinet by the way… )
I'm a junior new to top band and I can barely play it and I got assigned first part and some "solos" 😓😥
Great choice for a wind ensemble!a wonderful piece
Really cool my band director showed me this
Omg I wanna sound like that solo cornet player so bad, they sound so good
Wonderful!
Such precise, clear, flexible conducting. It’s not hard to figure out one big reason why they sound so good!
This was the spring concert? I loved this!!!
A director I worked with, conducted this piece with an AA High School Band in Michigan...without using a score.
At District and State Festivals.
Great music for a wind ensemble! A work of art in it’s purist form. Has a marching band or drum corps perform this on the field?
Hi!
Can I ask what's the name of the solo kornett player? Thanks
3:51 is a Tuba excerpt
this symphony is basically the state of 2020 right now lol
one of first impression.Very good!
Wheres the vibrato of concertmaster and e-flat clarinet?
It's not common practice for clarinetists to use vibrato except in jazz or klezmer.
Interesting
11:01 Respect.

no strings?
This whole piece is a contradiction. It's titled "Symphony" but as far as I can tell, it isn't actually a symphony in the classical sense. It's written without strings as well. Then it claims to be in B-flat, but actually almost none of it is in B-flat. In fact, most of it is actually very dissonant.
By definition this is a symphony, as it is a multi-movement work that utilizes contrasting forms in each movement. The absence of strings does change the nature of the piece, as the symphony is a large-scale form that is not determined by instrumentation. The piece is in B-flat (although chromatic) as it made the tonic ("home note") within the harmonic framework, and dissonance does not determine or interfere with the tonic (note how it's titled "in B-flat" rather than in B-flat major or minor, this acknowledges the chromatic nature of the piece).
@@dsaillant811 What do you think of Giannini's Third?
@Steffen W. I am a music theorist and organist, so I don’t make uninformed comments about other disciplines where I have limited to no competence. Maybe you should consider doing the same. It appears that you have limited knowledge of music. I hope that my explanation help you to understand that your comment is without merit. A symphony is as a style of composition, strings are not required. (You are confusing “symphony orchestra” or the word “symphony” associated with a school or city “Boston Symphony Orchestra” which does imply an ensemble that includes strings, but that is a different definition of the word.) Symphonic writing is compositional form; saying that the absence of strings means that this is not a symphony makes as much sense as saying that a fugue played anything but an organ or other keyboard instrument is not a fugue. Furthermore, the great organ symphonies of Vierne and Widor are indeed symphonies played by a single instrument. Regarding the key, Hindemith’s harmonic language is still indeed tonal in this work as Bb is a clearly defined tonic, a point where the music comes to a point of rest... a single note around which all harmonies revolve. If you simply do not like the music, of course, that is understandable to those who do not understand Hindemith, but proclaiming on a public platform that a great composer like Paul Hindemith would not no how to title his own creation merely shows your own ignorance.
Music Fundamentals Dude, chill out. They didn’t state that Symphonies require strings. OP merely expressed a two word open ended question that reads as curiosity than anything else. They could be new to instrumental music and just be confused about a concept that they perceived as something else (such as symphonies being pieces written for orchestra). You don’t know OP or what intentions were behind their comment. Give people the benefit of the doubt before jumping the gun.

Gotta love Hindemith.....random dissonance...
Joe R
Not entirely random - Hindemith just writes lines so independent that at times it can seem to be random dissonance. However, there is more than what meets the ear at first.
MrClarinet 253 thanks !
Not random at all. He developed his own very detailed theory of tonality. Every dissonant note is purposeful.
Bloodless performance.
Go Bucks.
