      @Woofrie 2 года назад

      I'm no flute player either, but I do play piano, so I can tell you this:
      A trill is rapidly moving between the note written and the note one whole step above it multiple times.

    • @FastnOut
      @FastnOut Год назад

      So the first trill would be F to Eb, second trill would be Eb to D and the third trill would be Db to C. I hope whoever made this comment sees this and has figured it out or doesnt know how to yet

    I came to hear how this compared to the version that the 2016 Skyliners drum corps played. Winds sound ok, but It needs better writing for the percussion. It sounds too basic for even the most beginner of bands.

    • @trentwilliams5081
      @trentwilliams5081 4 года назад +6

      Why are you comparing this high school arrangement to a drum core arrangement? And for the percussion part, MOST arrangements of any song is arranged to this “difficulty”. This is also a stand tune. Not a marching chart. Unless that band director wants it to be. Depending on how well his students play.

    Another horrible instance of taking a song in F and making it sound worse by putting it in Eb. Also another arrangement of MBS that doesn’t have the flat 6 in the melody in the beginning. The first four notes should be C Db C Db (in the key of F.)

      @dimitrishostakovich2223 3 года назад +1

      And just in general the key of Eb is just annoying for any sort of 16 or 32 note runs- mainly just Eb as a note

    • @KleinkMusic
      @KleinkMusic 2 года назад

      Yeah like wtf. F is so easy for every instrument. I never understand why these arrangers take music in horn friendly keys and somehow think "you know what, why not put this in Eb of Ab for funsies huehuehuehuehuehue" Maybe it's just me and literally anyone with a sense of absolute pitch, but I feel like certain keys have very specific qualities of emotion to them. Eb is just so much darker compared to the bright sunny day sound F makes for the song literally about blue sunny skies. Am I overthinking this? I know it's just an artistic choice but it's just _unnecessary..._
