Zdechlik passed away 3 days ago, may he rest in peace :(
i saw! did a post about him on my FB
Holy Hannah I played this song in Wind ensemble. It's the best though. Especially the trumpets 😂
This was the very last piece I played in HS band. That was for my state assessment in March 2020. The evening we got back to school was the last time I'd see the building in-person until my graduation later that year. While I cannot say I have fully moved on from my anger at the fact that I was not able to properly end that portion of my life, I am grateful two years onward that this piece was my finale. I was on timpani, and somehow, until listening to this piece again (for the first time since that night) I had forgotten just how powerful the ending of this piece is, especially for that instrument. The cinematic finale to this marvelous composition is quite fitting to have ended what will always be one of the most important experiences of my life.
I love the "god chords" the composer uses in the final 5 bars.
This brings back so many good memories of playing in a band in Highschool and College. One of my most favorite songs in my life time. Shout outs to Melvin Maxwell, and Steven Matthews. Some of the best teachers and conductors who really shaped my life.
“Pieces I have played in honors and community bands” is a RUclips genre I consult rather often. This was one of the former, in 1992. Thanks for the insights.
This took me back to high school days, this was one of my faves and our symphony band absolutely murdered this at district and state festivals. I played the keyboard percussion.....and one creative choice that I made that my director didn't hate (and if memory serves me correctly, I got a shout out in the judge's notes for doing this....) - the bells part at S - I did that on chimes....gave it a little more depth and matched the brass a little better.
Just a qwk mention; the Shaker tune ? is actually much older written by St Francis of Assisi in 1225 & known as 'The Canticle of the Sun', The original is quite Wonderful. and plus a shout out for Anthony O'T , for a 'good job' here on this piece.
Great help getting mallet entrances, as well as digging into rich sonorities of the work.
THANK YOU so much for creating this. What a concise, organized approach to understanding this work. This was invaluable to me for the past few days as an arranger.
You should make a score study for Grainger’s Molly on the Shore
Had to do this as a conducting final (undergraduate), by memory. Cues and everything to a live band.
Junior year of HS on Bassoon. Brings back memories!
I played this piece in 2014 (bass clarinet). Definitely one of my favourites, especially around 4:20. Thank you for doing the score analysis.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The way you formatted the score makes it so much easier to visualize the chords. It beats having to transpose and write each note down by hand on some paper by reading the original score.
Just making the music easy to read so anybody interested can understand how the piece works.
brilliant! love the ending of this song... that shaker melody is so inspiring...
Thanks for posting this. It really helped me prepare for the performance this evening. The snare part from [233] to the end was killing me, so I spent the 2 weeks since our last rehearsal playing along with the recording.
Having the reduced score also helped me to discover that my part was missing 2 measures prior to [271].
I'm so glad this was helpful to you, Alexandri. Good luck with the performance!
While I absolutely love playing in my band, and I do enjoy listening to band and orchestra pieces, my taste in wind band music is very much limited to what my director likes (which is a lot of Tichelli). I initially discovered your channel through your breakdown of Rocky Point, and that led me to this playlist of score breakdowns. While i do quite like Tichelli’s take on Simple Gifts, this channel let me discover this arrangement of it, which has in turn become my favorite arrangement of the tune. Thank you for broadening my taste in composers and letting me branch out with what pieces I should pay attention to!
glad you're getting a lot out of these, that was and is my intent in doing these and making them free to access. if you would love to support the creation of new videos please consider making a donation at patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic
Thanks, played this my senior year in HS and haven't heard it since !!!
I'm here from the last 5 bars and I hope I get to play this eventually
yeah, those chords at the end are glorious. composers don't really end pieces like this anymore... idk why
Im sorry whats so special about those chords? Yes they sound great but from a theory aspect? Just curious
Love these score study videos. Hope you can publish H. O. Reed’s La Fiest Mexicana!
consider contributing to the channel at patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic and contributors get preference in requests! thanks for watching, Steve
Another great analysis to another inspiring concert band piece. Clear and concisely labeled.
Thanks for the thorough analysis! This was one of my favorite pieces from my high school glory year, after making the cut for wind symphony. We got first place in the state band festival that year!
This is excellent. Post more!!
Thanks, I plan to
This is wonderful
8:22 upper WWs: canon in d is everywhere
pretty similar in some parts
I love this video!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks, Anthony!
Tony - Nice work. You've got skills, bro!
Thanks, Mark!
Thank you for this!
Thank you. And how did I not find your channel before? I think music accompanied by the score is amongst the greatest things in the world.
im glad you found it now! plenty of videos from the last 3+ years to enjoy. If you like these kinds of things please consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic.weebly.com
8:20 because I’m to lazy, and need to practice
playing this in middle shool symphonic band
that chord at 8:33 hits different
i’m playing this for my concert, i’m in 8th grade in symphonic band
The licc
yay!
licc 1:52
You know, I can never listen to this piece again without hearing THE LICC now. Thanks a lot. :)
What about doing a score study of Clifton Williams Symphonic Suite?
that would be cool - I did his Caccia and chorale a few monthes back if you're looking for some CW to hold you over
3:35
2:52
Not trombones, actually horns
oops. good lookin out chief
the motive comes from a church hymn
3:59 last measure trombone 1 should be B flat not A flat :(
7:14 is also a trombone 1 solo!
You're terrific. We need to meet up sometime.
Something is off around 156-157, a couple of bars missing?
oh crap! good eye -- A measure must have been clipped off when i made the slide. This was the very first episode and it's a one man operation over here so I'm sure there's other mistake besides this one. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Nick! appreciate the comment
Anthony O'Toole no problem, nice work!
@@nickdadabo8712 thank you
What’s that chord at 5:51???
Logan Burig it’s an Em chord approached via a Gb over F. What makes it sound cool is the 3 half step voice leading (Gb to G, Bb to B, F to E)
