- The Year 1812, Festival Overture in E flat major, Op. 49,[1] popularly known as the 1812 Overture or the Overture of 1812 is an overture written by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1880 to commemorate Russia's defense of Moscow against Napoleon's advancing Grande Armée at the Battle of Borodino in 1812. The overture debuted in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on August 20 [O.S. August 8] 1882,[2] conducted by Ippolit Al'tani.[3] The overture is best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire, ringing chimes, and brass fanfare finale.
WING CONCERT 24th February 2012, 4-5 days
Playing: Shijonawate Gakuen High School brass band
This video, it is recommended that you use the headphones.
IN-FREAKIN-CREDIBLE! This is a high school band performing this piece of music that's not easy. And they freakin KILL it! Old PI is smiling down on this group of incredibly talented musicians and lovin' every minute of it!
14:34 I always get goosebumps at that part
What an outstanding band with a fine conductor! The parents and the school should be tremendously PROUD - and the players!
As a clarinet player, really cool how wind instruments can fill in for string instruments
SAME ❤
I'm such a baby! I cried at the end. Music is music and this group really did Tchaikovsky justice! Bravo!
OMG! What an unbelievable job by this high school band! They are the best non-all star band I've ever heard and I've been in music since I was age 11. And I thought the bands I was in were great! These kids are unbelievable. What a joy to listen to! Bravo! (Shijonawate Gakuen High School brass band)
From one little village of Europe i SAY : VERY VERY VERY GOOD. On these way i can to listen all the notes. With the strings not the same.
These young musicians must be connected by their souls they are so spot on. I’m blown away.
Well played.....Fine young musicians....Congratulations Mr Band Director
Bravissimi! Non è facile suonare brani di questo livello con una banda
Non ho mai sentito il migliore di questo come finezza di suoni, comportamento e serietà dei ragazzi e spettacolo. Se potessi vi abbraccerei uno per uno, ragazzi e ragazze. Grandi auguri per il vostro futuro, meritate ogni soddisfazione dalla vita per quanto regalate a noi. Congratulazioni al Maestro che ha saputo prepararli così bene. Credo che meglio non si possa fare.
Loved it. Could watch it over and over again and still not get bored. All credit to those musicians and conductor.
The orchestrated version of this piece always gave me chills at the end. This performance gave me the same chills! Excellent job!
A Wind Ensemble Really Gets Ones pulse beating with the Pure joy of that special sound... Bravo, One and All....
Marvellous!!! They should all be very very proud of themselves.
I don't care who played this rendition of 1812 Overture, it is one of the best that I have ever listened to.
Bravissimi, tutti quanti. Mai sentito niente di più eccezionale, di più pulizia di suoni, di professionalità. Auguri per il vostro futuro, ragazzi, meritate tutte le soddisfazioni di questo mondo. SIETE GRANDIOSI.
Loved it all, but above all, that small part that starts in 08:23 !
Movements while playing the music increases the emotional feeling of musicians towards the piece. It makes the music more dramatic and expressive. Very nice band! :)
BRAVO! one of best interpretations i have ever heard! gooseskin and tears in my eyes. thank you!
Having all the saxophones set up in the front along with their amazing tone gives off the effect of strings,especially in the beginning. I'm sure it was purposeful.
Superb performance and arrangement.
Fantástico. Saludos desde Madrid
what an outstanding performance for a highschool orchestra!!!
Great performance, harmony & orchestration. May peace come to Japan & people all over the world.
excellent playing of music and excellent tuning.
I love how they have so many of my instrument. Go clarinets!
Well, in virtuosity of total range covered..........only the piano covers more octaves than the clarinet family. I don't know exactly how many more pitches a piano can play than the clarinet family can but between all of the members of the clarinet family there is something like 82 different pitches covered. A standard piano has 88. If I really wanted to figure it out I would, but nnnnaaaaahhhhhh.....(8^P
I have played flute on this in a local community band. A good exercise in double-tonguing!
Excelente.
Extraordinary!
best 15:46 seconds I spent on UA-cam!
Same

Just amazing.
I can't stop listening this! It's...Glourios! :')
Une belle découverte que cet orchestre. Pour une superbe interprétation.
Fantastic!
Excellent! It actually sounds so much better without the strings.
You are all Great! :) Thanks to you all!!
i wanna play the triangle when i grow up!!
worst childhood ever! 😂😂😂
ONE WORD BRILLIANT!
Like 1 million times, verry well played
Большое спасибо! Недаром David Coverdale не забывает Вашу страну!
Awesome！！
suavidade , comprometimento , pureza , uma bela orquestração das jovens , belo
We're getting ready to play this in our High School Band. I'm the 1st part French horn. It's going to be a challenging piece.
Do you know who arranged this?
Bravissimi
It's nice to see a really great and professional concert band! Too bad here in Brazil there is no unique since it is not given due importance and value, you are to be congratulated!
Somebody mentioned this was not an All Star Band. What kool-aid were you drinking. This is a performing arts academy in Japan similar to Juilliard, Eastman or Interlochen. No reed squeeks, no brass split notes, no mistakes. This band is huge. I have played in many advanced wind ensembles and there are always mistakes. This is near perfection. You don.t teach that intonation. Some have it and some don't. listen to that 4/4 time. Impossible to keep in synch with one another. Where are you going to get all those French horn players from one school?
ua-cam.com/video/xe6clDYFlQ8/v-deo.html what about this one, my wife played in the similar band when she was at school, and she has never been professional musician, like this kids in many schools across Japan, the problem is that Japanese people are doing always everything 100% as western countries used to do, but now our civilisation is dying, we are living in the world of "I DESERVED" they still live in the normal world in the world where you have right to achieve whatever you want
this is how professionals are playing do you see the difference ua-cam.com/video/InN8MTV2t1Y/v-deo.html
I agree. I've played tuba since 1958 and have played the 1812 Overture in two symphony orchestras. These young musicians are fantastic.
Gee - and there in the credits it proclaims this Shijonawate Gakuen High School.
Phrasing is off in certain passages for the saxophones (some players not sustaining notes through the full count) and there is one over-zealous clarinet standing out in the closing anthem, along with one "added" trumpet. By far, this would rate a definite "Superior +" rating by U.S. band standards; but, this performance is NOT flawless.
Fully expected, as this was only ONE selection they performed at this concert.
Run a search to find their other equally incredible performances - to include, their kick-ass "Music of the Spheres".

Yeah, about your link to the "pros", It is too fast to enjoy musically. The problem with lots of music played today. They are all just showing off.
this is scary good
Read my reply to rex759 from earlier today. His comment was from 3 weeks ago.
I didn't like how throughout the piece how the musicians were feeling the music looked choreographed
Bryan Brown what do u mean? It looked cool to me
Geweldige Band en een uitstekende Directeur
it is one of the best wind orchestra i think
Yes, a fantastic performance! Albert van der Net.
Very good performance, especially technically. Just wondered if the clarinets were instructed to move in unison. Seemed too much of a coincidence.
HIGH SCHOOL! I thought this was experienced professionals.
Yoshihiro Kimura
Its funny how all the clarinets are in sync when they move
Great performance
Cool
AWESOME!
Beauful♪
5:39 Allons enfants de la Patrie! Le jour de gloire ...
Esta obra é uma das melhores do Mundo!
The ending of the piece is so Tchaikovsky-esque
it's almost as if it was written by Tchaikovksy or something...
+Alec Pearl ikr it's crazy. For real, though, I mean more along the lines of, it's really reminiscent of his more romantic stuff.
+chessicles99 Alec's point was that the 1812 Overture was originally written by Tchaikovsky...
Paul Armitage Yeah, no kidding. My point was that this piece is reminiscent of his more romantic works. Composers can have works that don't sound like it's composed by them. This is not much of a romantic piece, and I didn't recognize it was by him the first time I had this on a playlist, but you can really hear that it's by him at the end of the piece. I knew it was by Tchaikovsky when I wrote my original comment, but just because it's composed by Tchaikovsky doesn't mean it has to sound like it.
+chessicles99 okay, I understand now. thanks for clearing it up.
Bravo! Bravo! Better than most of the professional orchestra recordings! Simply remarkable for high school students to be technically flawlessly & emotionally fearlessly. Congratulations to the studnets and maestro for a remarkable performance. I would love to hear you play Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man... -- Nicole
bravo!!
That is an amazing arrangement of an amazing composition! Where did you get this from?
wow, O. O
A very impressive performance, given the youth of the orchestra, they played with maturity, great control,and intonation. The woodwind section, as far as I could see all female, were particulalry good, the runs were crystal clear and tonal quality was excellent too! The introduction of physical movement, in complete unison was a triumph. With violins in a traditional orchestra, you do have the movement, which you don't normally have in a symphonic orchestra, clarinets are normally pretty much fairly static~ this band gave that little extra interest. I thought the dynamics too, were brilliant. An excellent performance, let's see much more please!
Maravilhoso, lindo, emocionante... Aqui, bem longe, no Brasil, me fez chegar às lágrimas....
素晴らしい音楽 (^○^)/
14:36 there it is
This piece is played excellent by the Mexican Air Force Orchestra.
I played this for a college football game :3
goosebumps at 14:46
I was hoping that they would use cannons, but drums are ok I guess
the army of trumpets....
good, good, apik tenan, suarane resik rek
I'm surprised I don't see more Rovner ligatures on any of the clarinets or saxophones.
The black flexible rubber one with the one screw that sits on the top of the mouthpiece not the bottom of it. The Bass Clarinet is a good example @ 2:46.
That type of mouthpiece holds reeds in place better because they make direct contact with more of the surface area of the reed itself, and it's flexible. You can sit on a Rovner ligature and not break it at all.
You can't do that with the gold colored metal ligatures that most of these students are using.

Despite the fact that Japanese students run circles around us here in the U.S. in virtually every subject, they do so with about half the funding. This school is relatively well off by Japanese standards and have good equipment, but there are performances out there of this quality with the performers playing on B12s and YCL-255's (with similar quality across all instrument families across the band)
15 minutes straight holy crap their mouths must be numb!
You don't play do you?
Less than 2 years after starting an instrument the muscles in your lips and lower jaw have really gotten used to it.
Bachelors students and Masters students play 2-4 hours a day for months at a time getting ready for recitals and degree qualification tests.
14:34 my favorite part
The timing of cymbals is fucking hilarious LOL ( I mean, in the video)
Fucking chills for days
Clarinet section wins!
ALWAYS haha
They're the strings of a concert band! Always great parts!
me: Why did they put the bass clarinet with the saxophoOH MY GOD IS...IS THAT A CONTRABASS CLARINET BE STILL MY HEART
my babies
That was one enormous contra. They kept showing the alto clarinet too
I'm assuming the arrangement is L.P. Laurendeau. But by following the score it's slightly different. For example, in the beginning the intro calls for Brass, but here it's woodwinds. So it may have changed over the years or by someone recent.
We'll around 13:00 or so
11:48 Excitement intensifies
I can tell you from experience - ANY band practices until they get the score imprinted in their head.
Can anyone tell me who arranged this specific version of this piece?
NO! DON'T USE HEADPHONES WHILE LISTENING TO THIS! TRUST ME!
no no:3
This is a fine performance, but it is an ordinary Japanese high school band. If you listen, you can hear plenty of intonation issues throughout the performance. Shijonawate Gakuen HS has never made it to the finals of the All-Japan Band Contest, meaning they have never been in the top 29 high school bands in Japan. If you want to hear the very top bands in Japan, search for Seika Girls, Yodogawa Tech, Osaka Toin, Katakura, Inagakuen, and Saitama Sakae for starters. Those bands usually place in the top 10 bands in Japan each year.
All the more depressing, that our schools can't live up to even the standard of a 2nd tier japanese school.
And is there any other high school band in the western world who can play as good as this. These are young adults and should get some praise for their efforts instead of know it alls finding fault. They enjoy what they do and its entertainment not competition
ดีมาก
.........aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, there was a mistake somewhere @ 9:08. But luckily everybody caught it and went on as if nothing happened.
Looks like an all state band..
MAGNIFIQUE ... mais un peu rigide.... Ils ne sont pas des automates, mais des humains...
Hello, who's this arrangement ? Please help me to find this excellent arrangement.
Many thanks
I play clarinet and base clarinet.
1.) The Opening chorale felt very rushed to me. It's meant to be very expressive and lyrical. I'm not sure about this arrangement but the tempo marking in the original is largo so that should be kept in mind.
2.) There are several moments where the clarinets seem to overpower the flutes, who are carrying the melody, while the clarinets play a harmony part. About 2:50 this occurs.
3.) The section around 6:58 felt rushed as well.
Overall this performance was amazing, the arranger stayed true to the original orchestral score.
These are just my thoughts on this piece.
The bassoon solo (with the basses) was also ok at best
If you really want to improve your embouchure stamina on the oboe practice this specific piece for a while. It is pretty lengthy...
it's amazing to see thumbs down for a group as awesome as this, i'm quite sure they are from jealous people who played in crappy high school bands! LOL
Wind orchestra or concert band?
