    • @sirboomsalot4902
      @sirboomsalot4902 Рік тому +17

      This is actually what Adolph Sax intended the saxophone to do. He made a whole family especially for replacing the traditional orchestra instruments. Unfortunately, the side that was meant for orchestra work was never produced in large numbers (except the C Melody to an extent) due to traditional French instrument makers rallying against Sax and burying him on legal debt so he couldn’t compete with them. The ones we know today; the soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, etc. survived because they found use in military bands until they exploded in popularity in the 1920s

    • @peteroselador6132
      @peteroselador6132 Рік тому +10

      Yeah. The saxophone was actually created to be a blending instrument between the different sections, so it’s pretty well suited to do basically anything tone-wise

    I love seeing the passion on everyone’s faces from 4:03 to 4:37 . Perhaps one of the most trying yet rewarding parts of musicianship is when you stumble across moments like those when the build up has finally formed into the climax and you can hear how well your part blends with everyone else’s, and each note becomes a struggle to hold because you’re trying so hard to focus on your part as opposed to the symphony which you have helped create.

      Arnaud Anglade these people don't have a drum major to help them keep time or anything, that's all based on pure memory, timing, and visual indications in the other performers. although they aren't marching, that means they need more focus on their musical aspects, which should be nearly perfect, unlike marching band where as long as you get the basic idea you get those points (i was in show band marching band whatever you want to call it too). don't think one group has more troubles than another, both have major obstacles that are unique to them, which may be just as hard as another.

    We were supposed to play this as a sax ensemble almost 1 year ago today, then Coronavirus hit. I listen to this and to "Danzon No. 2" by Arturo Márquez (the other piece we were supposed to perform) to mourn what could've been. Saxophone isn't my primary instrument, but whenever I held it and was a part of the few rehearsals we were able to accomplish, I felt a surge of power and confidence I'd never felt before. This piece is astonishing, as are the performers. Here's to my senior year in high school, the forever doomed class of 2021.

    I didnt think Holsts music could sound more epic and beautiful but sounds divine in saxophones, loved it

  • @charliechimento852

    Fun fact: the saxophone was originally created to be a perfect blending instrument for traditional orchestra. Other musical figures at the time didn’t like the man who created it, and spread the news that it sounded terrible, so it was sentenced to jazz forever. And while it is great for jazz, it’s really sad that we don’t get to hear stuff like this more often. Beautiful playing!

    Brings peace to one's heart. Gustav Holst, British, wrote the Planet suite early in the 20th centuary just before World War I. It is not surprising to my mind that so much art through music and poetry ensued at this time.

    BRAVO!!!! COMPLIMENTS!!!!
    In those saxophones heard all the woodwinds, brass and strings in it... now you need 3 or 4 percussionists to be the complete orchestra!!!
    (I play timpani and mallets in concert band now, but I played for a few years alto and baritone saxophone... out of band I still play saxophone because it's an awesome instrument!!!!!)
