    Young Concert Band - Grade 3
    Composed over 40 years ago, this deliciously sinister theme for Darth Vader remains one of the most recognizable musical compositions in movie history. This authentic-sounding version captures all the feeling of dread and impending doom of the original.

    Alright now that we got this one out of the way, where's the grade 5 arrangement with the 16th note triplets that we all deserve?

      Lmao I play in a very mixed orchestra with people anywhere between 5th grade and people in their mid twenties. We have an arrangement that has the 16th triplets and it's classed at grade 3. We're struggling our way through it :')

    I love The Imperial March. Makes it seem like a fully realistic Star Wars movie. News flash: did you know that I went with my dad to see the Star Wars: Last Jedi movie at Cinemark in Valley View Ohio? I think both the movie and the concert arrangement looked realistic at the same time. While I was at my music theory lesson at St. Dominic (located in Shaker Heights, Ohio), Mr. Tennant had me copy down this instrument part for the arrangement Highlights From Star Wars. It was for an assignment in addition to the 1812 Overture arrangement in the music program Sibelius.

    The description is wrong though. The Imperial March isn't 40 years old yet. It was first created and conducted in 1980, just a few months before the movie was released in May of that year. Years before my time as well.

    Great! But most middle school bands don’t have a battery of horns and baritones. Would have loved to see some tenor sax support.

    • @madeleineb6179
      @madeleineb6179 6 лет назад +1

      teamuop99 you could easily give a tenor a baritone TC part to play for that part, but I personally am very glad and happy, as it is nice to not have that support written in as I feel (as a baritone) that we are very underrated, and I think it is important that we get recognition occasionally.

    Sigh, like most other arrangements of this piece, it is one step lower than the original... Concert G is the primary note of the song, not Concert F. The counter-melody simplified rhythm is just inaccurate. Yes, this was made for less experienced bands, but it just sounds weird when it isn't accurate.
