MusicWorks - Grade 4
First published in 1989, this work from the late Calvin Custer epitomizes his command of orchestration and understanding of musical pacing. The familiar folk melody is stated first by a solo flute then followed by a remarkable series of variations starting with a brass choir accompanied by woodwind flourishes. An Andante variation features the woodwind choir accompanying solos by baritone and oboe, and this leads to a striking fugue variation and bold finish. Truly symphonic band writing at its best.

why are we all sleeping on that euphonium solo
Derek Cook yes!
I was supposed to play that dang solo but then the pandemic happened and I never got to perform the solo at the concert :(
2:47 I practiced hard for that dang solo, the concert was a few weeks away at the time and I could never get that part right and one day (it was the last day before a long weekend) and I was like "today is the day I play my solo correctly for once, I've been practicing and I played it right so many times and I just want to make my BD proud" I messed up terribly and my BD gave me a dissapointed look, and in my head I said to myself that after the long weekend I will get it right... That long weekend was a 2 week break from school because the pandemic had started, those 2 weeks became the rest of the year and I never got to play that solo at the concert. I'm still salty about (it sometimes keeps me up at night) and I play that solo out of spite.
I’m tearing up
Yup I know how you feel.
For a school Christmas Concert in Salisbury Cathedral, I sang a solo in rehearsal, depping for a fellow student who was at an interview for Cambridge University. Unfortunately for me he got back in time 😢
Sheesh I had a friend play that solo
Takes me back six years ago to 7th grade wind ensemble (':
omg sAME
Yo we’re playing this in freaking ELEVENTH grade
My entire band consists of 9 smaller bands: Winds Ensemble, Symphonic Winds, Symphonic Band 1, Symphonic Band 2, Concert Winds 1, Concert Winds 2, Concert Band 1, Concert Band 2, Concert Band 3.
@@yannam5339 it depends on your level of band i guess. I played this in 7th grade bc we have an honors band and we are a military band . Is your band a military band or show band?
@@Ash-dy6jf no we’re just regular 😭
the fact that yall played this in middle school boggles my mind, my band couldnt play for our lives in middle school
*has 8th grade flashbacks*
I played grade 4 in 8th grade. then grade 6 in 12th grade.
