I love love LOVE the saxophone quartet in this song. I play 2nd alto saxophone and I'm like the only one playing 2nd... Everybody else is playing first and idk why but oh well. 4 saxs and only one of us playing 2nd. Besides that, I love the song as a whole as well. Holds me in a trance every time!
We just played this song at our concert today and I played the Bari sax part and its such a wonderful song. It really gives me an image of my ancestors in Ireland.
Im in c.o. wilson middle school honors band. We are playing this for concert and sightreading contest next week. This song really helped me with my french horn part. Thanks for the vid!
man i remember this, i loved this song in middle school, but when i went to high school, i went to one with no band, no i missed playing my trumpet, especially in this song, its so majestic :'(
Man I played this song in jr high (I'm a sophomore in high school) we got straight ones at contest but man was this an amazing song if I could go back and play this one more time I would no doubt...
BRUH I PLAYED THIS AS A FIRST FLUTE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND OOOOOOOH BOI, EVERY TIME OUR BAND DIRECTOR TOLD US TO GET OUT THIS SONG I SHED SO MANY TEARS OF JOY, THEY COULD FILL UP ALL OF THE OBOE'S CUPS OF WATER send help
@chewylunae1123 it's interesting that you might say that the grace note was played wrong, because this was the original version: conducted by the composer Samuel R Hazo. There are many different ways to play a grace note, and probably both of them are correct. We, along with another middle school played this at the festival last year. We both played the grace note differently. I would be interested to find out more about this.
At 1:55, the saxophone section solo is amazing. I'm hoping I get to play bari on it, but I might learn all three parts. Overall, this is a fantastic song. People look at me funny when I'm humming it in class, but they just don't appreciate music.
I would be playing this if my band teacher didn’t assign me the “take a break” role. But hey I think this song reminds me of a some futuristic/modern city.
latrice wilson thank you, it's nice to find someone who appreciates bass clarinetists talents and skill, although I'm just learning the ropes of higher class music I still admire the instrument I play
My younger brother's band is playing this at their school, and i asked if i could help play second clarinet (B flat) For the band, even though im 18. :P he's 12 in seventh grade. they said yes motherfudgers!

Emme Capito I'm playing it in 7th. Our band director picked this piece out for us to learn because the horn is so prominent :))

Dont be the loudest be the most mature. Trumpets sound plain nasty playing loud. So just try to be mature wih your sound and youll do even better c:
Played this last week
At 1:55, the saxophone section solo is amazing. I'm hoping I get to play bari on it, but I might learn all three parts. Overall, this is a fantastic song. People look at me funny when I'm humming it in class, but they just don't appreciate music.

THE FLUTE PART 😍😍
People played this at high school? No wonder it was hell for our band director to teach this song to middle schoolers, including 7th graders.
+Goombaic Im in 7th and it was easy compared to stuff we did near the end of the year
im in seventh and we play this song with fifth and sixth graders
Goomtrooper This song isn't even hard to play I'm in 7th grade
It's not a difficult song to play but to make it really incredible takes really talented people. Especially the half time parts.
Goomtrooper yeah lol we played this for contest in 8th grade
My band is playing this an i play 3rd chair flute.
Im sooo deecated to band :-)
We played this year for UIL division 1😎
Im playin ths in my band group, and im a trumpet. Im so happy :) Oh

+YaMaster FPV same dude 😂
I am first flute and is pretty memorable
Same! First flute has a great part
S R so does second
Just got sweepstakes yesterday by playing this at Jill
i like how everyone is like I play French horn or clarinet and I'm just like I play bass clarinet
Yess bass clarinets are the best
YASSSSSSS, I was literally the only bass clarinet in my 8th grade band, no tenor or bari sax, so I got to play that alone; Crowd. Went. NUTS.
Took me about an hour to find this song because I forgot the name, but one of my favorites pieces. I played Bari Sax.
I’m playing this song for UIL on bass clarinet also I’m playing wedge wood March and pevensey castle. Check them out cause they sound good,
I would be playing this if my band teacher didn’t assign me the “take a break” role.
But hey I think this song reminds me of a some futuristic/modern city.
Currently playing this now. What's the tempo 😭😭😭😭
4600945
4600945
They sure do know their legato
My band is preforming this song for uil
bass clarinet is my favorite part
Delta Squad Gamer yes finally I found someone who played bass clarinet well if you did I love you in a friend way
latrice wilson thank you, it's nice to find someone who appreciates bass clarinetists talents and skill, although I'm just learning the ropes of higher class music I still admire the instrument I play
Delta Squad Gamer yes me too I like playing it since its a least played instrument than like clarinet and flute
latrice wilson especially when there are like 5 or 6 of them in one band
