I had a superior band conductor in HS. Dr. Swor. He pushed our symphonic band to play this in a regional competition. He challenged us with this. We did it. We worked for months on it. We scored a perfect score as a result. He made us excellent. He was a phenomenal teacher. This piece has never left my heart as a result. Nor has Dr. Swor.
We were almost made to play it with 12 people 🥴 then everyone voted no after a month practicing it 😑 yes our director doesn’t understand the meaning of parts and choosing music.... he thinks we can play anything regardless of how many people... not this piece 😐 we only have one clarinet, one alto saxophone, one tenor sax, one trumpet, one trombone, one baritone, one tuba that doesn’t know how to play the right notes, one flute that doesn’t know how to play, one bass clarinet that doesn’t know how to play any notes, and 3 percussionists 😬 the beautiful 6/4 part only had the one clarinet playing very quietly btw and it requires 3+ just to cover the harmonies!!! 😫
Anyone who has played this piece seem to have been effected by it in the same way. I played the 1st Trumpet part... everytime I hear this played, it brings tears to my eyes.
Moved to tears here - what a joy to find this! I played this in my high school wind ensemble over 40 years ago in 1979, first B-flat clarinet part. I will never forget it, we worked so hard on it - the audience exploded into applause at the end. Sidenote: I met my husband playing clarinet in our Big10 marching band, we still play our clarinets together in a couple ensembles. What a joy!🎶
I played french horn performing this piece with the Pennsylvania State Regional Band in 1975. My father was a choral music educator, organist and previously professional opera singer. He had ridiculously high standards for all musical performances. If he was in attendance and was displeased with a mediocre performance he'd leave early. This was the finale of our concert and he was in the front row. The concert was recorded and I play the album. Right after we concluded the piece my father's voice is on the recording yelling "bravo". It is one of my greatest memories! This is a masterful piece! I've always wanted to hear it arranged for a full orchestra. To this day, every time I hear the climax of the 4th movement, "Cathedral Chorus" I get goosebumps and hair stands on end. This recording by the Mansfield University Wind Ensemble is the best I've found on line.
In 1973 the Northeast Oklahoma All District band played this piece of music along with several others. I remember the people in the audience were stunned. When we finished the piece there was about 5 seconds of total silence. Then pandemonium reigned! It is still one of my favorite pieces to this day!
There is an arrangement for a full orchestra! There's several short versions Clark McAlister orchestrated the whole thing ruclips.net/video/dsEZq_lJuK4/видео.html
There should NEVER be ANY ads in the middle of music such as this! It is now impossible for me to recommend this video to anyone. Good job, RUclips. (Hint: Put the ads in BEFORE the music starts.)
We played this my freshman year for wind ensemble, and I can't explain how much I love the last section!!! It's so beautiful and it feels like the hall just explodes with sound.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful in every way. I am astounded at the colours and drama brought about by this much-missed genius composer of the genre. The clarinet choir from bar 118 is just sumptuous. RIP Mr Reed.
Being a trumpet player, I love the brass work in this piece. The chords in the finale have an organ-like quality. But I have to say, the tympani are just EPIC!
An Amazing work. I've had the pleasure of playing it a few times. I really wanted to thank whomever posted this recording along with the score. It is a great way to practice with and learn about how to conduct this piece. I hope to someday have the opportunity to direct this work in a performance.
I played this piece in high school in 1972. 3rd horn. I think that Dr Reed had a love-hate relationship with French horns. He loved them so much he gave them the impossible pieces of music to play. High notes, very loud, bells up. Lips like hamburger at the end of the piece!
Still one of the greats. Under Col. Arnold Gabriel ( famous for USAF Singing Sergeant s at band camp in Kirksville No.) played clarinet. He rehearsed and conducted with no score. Must be nice having photographic memory. Peace.
I played English Horn on this a long time ago. Once the solos are over, Reed gave us a gift.. playing A's on the offbeats in the last 2 minutes and letting that wonderful rush of the chimes and those rising chords sweep over us after our work was done for the night.
12:15 to 13:24 is so amazing, especially those two chords at 12:23 (they feel like the piece's real resolution, before the last few minutes of finale-ness). And of course the buildup into 13:24 (starting around 12:57) with the horns is so much yup.
We played this my junior year in High School, and, as a percussionist, I just absolutely fell in love with it. I was out sick the day they first got the chart, so I "ended up" with crash cymbals. Have NEVER had so much fun!!! That part was loud and awesome!!!! The best thing about this piece is that there is time to appreciate what everybody else in the ensemble is doing. We had a girl that played the s#!t out of that English horn solo. So cool. That 6/4 passage just kills me every time. The crescendo sounds like the Ocean. And has there ever been anything as awesome as that last choir?!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite pieces. The brass chorale is awesome and contrasts beautifully with the flowing woodwind lines over the top of it. I have to say, though, that despite being a brass player myself, the tympani are my favorite - so seldom do we get to hear something so thunderous and epic as the moving tympani lines bolstering the powerful chords in this piece.
I remember playing this in orchestra in high school, I was the oboe, and i filled in for the chimes as well, so I kept having to go between my chair and the pit. WOW good memories
13:24 In high school, we used this section as our entrance/exit finale regularly. In a symphonic arrangement, the scoring of the French horns, tympani, and tubular bells make this piece one that makes your chest tighten and eyes water when playing or hearing it. A marvelous arrangement!
The Continental Army Band played this at the Music Clubs of America meeting at Atlantic City in 1973 or 74 and I was amazed to see the audience weeping. It was near Easter and so appropriate.
6:58, absolutely love the string bass line. Wish more pieces had string bass parts, it is a very unique instrument to add to the wind ensemble. As a tuba player, string basses help out a lot with adding a new color to the bass sound and having badass moments like this

Played the english horn part in concert once. We had only two oboists so I was covering both oboe 2 and english horn parts, picking up the EH just for the solos. One of the pitfalls of the english horn: you're so often expected to jump into solos cold. While sitting idle, water worked its way under one of the EH keys, and the initial solo came out gurgling. I frantically tried to find the water and blot it out before the second and third solos using a dollar bill I had handy, but to no avail. Long, completely exposed solos and half the notes garbled. So embarrassing, it was a living nightmare.
Oh God, I could imagine how embarrassing this would be. Like, the solos are literally lone players, and important parts of the piece. My school don't even have double reeds, and a chance of having an EH is 0%, but that water gurgling through a tech advanced instrument is just too embarrassing to be true.
ik this is like 2 years late but i also play the EH solo in this, the reason some of your keys were gurgling was because the bocal was not pushed in enough, i also though it was water till i saw how far my director pushes it in.
Playing this on 1st Clarinet for a Spring concert actually... In a community band in Colorado Springs. We asked the director what's with a Christmas song in Spring? Well he actually analyzed the text from the original Russian music in it and it has nothing to do with Christmas. He asked Alfred Reed about it when he was still alive. Apparently he just didn't know that it was actually not Christmas music. The cathedral part at the end is definitely one of the best things ever written for Wind Ensemble though.
Yeah we’re playing this in our next concert and while the piece is really pretty, the baritone part isn’t very interesting. Sort of a step down from our last concert where one of our songs was October by Eric Whitacre. Great Euphonium part, you should give it a listen if you haven’t already
Played this my freshman year as a trumpet player. Absolutely hated the peice and I still do. All the band hated it so much, we hated playing this piece. The brass wanted to play more and the woodwinds wanted to play less.
The part is tearfully gorgeous. I would love to slap every Composer, Arranger, and Publisher that wants to write the Alto Clarinet part out, with this piece. The Alto Clarinet DESERVES its spot and this is a PRIME example of just that.

Every part is important. They’re there for a reason. Take out the 3rd parts from each section and it’s not nearly the piece it is. Second and third parts develop harmony and fullness.
