if you aren’t sweating after playing this piece you’re doing something wrong. 😂 after playing this song in rehearsal, i’m all pumped up and sweating a bit. i play second violin for this song in my orchestra, i can’t imagine how the firsts feel after playing it.
"I want you to look up the next piece we'll be playing, I'll have the sheet music next time." *listens to the first 30 seconds* SWEET MONGOLIAN FUSTERCLUCK
As someone who's played sixteenth notes a bit faster in my school orchestra I can say you'll do fine. You just have to get locked into swinging your arm first. Then its just a matter of mastering the notes for it!
James Diehl yeah, Doug Sparta is amazing. March of the wood elves and gargoyles are some of my favorite orchestra songs I’ve played. Although now I kind of associate gargoyles with a really sad part in a book I was reading at the time we played it… but that’s my fault.
amaris milano This Songs name “swamp thang feels aggressively Florida to me” but it’s subtitle “stompin’ the bayou” and it’s sound feels aggressively Louisiana to me.
My teachers gonna get this. We’re gonna try and play it in the Spring and we’ve been playing for a bit over 2 years. He says he doesn’t know what he did that made us so good. 😂
My orchestra teacher (is that the right term?) cut out the ending (the last line or so) and I am beyond mad. I should start a petition but that's too much work so here I am complaining.
Lol it's based on the grade level of the orchestra. Basically u learn by practicing with different level books to play that level of music. For example this piece would be level 4 of books or around high school from where I'm from. (And srry if it's to late to comment but just making sure u knew)
I'd assume that a bow breaking means they're working hard ! And this is a piece worth mentioning requires a lot of endurance and dynamic, it *could* feel like your bow is gonna break.
We makin it out the bayou wit this one❗️🗣🔈🔥🔥🔥💯💯
I'm gonna break my bow trying to play this... but it's worth it
Lily Ozulumba honestly samee
Lily Ozulumba I’m in a middle school orchestra and we are playing this
Whydontwe_ Weirdgirls same we playing this for 6th grade chamber orch

Malia Mischke do u mean the whole thing or an excerpt
My chamber orchestra is probably gonna play it. It’s a fun piece.
For our chamber orchestra it’ll be our finale piece 🎉🎉

Heard this for the first time and now begging my conductor/teacher to have us play this in the spring WISH ME LUCK
Haha me too! I suggested mine so hopefully MY group likes it enough to play it 😭😭
My advanced class is teehee 🤭
My conductor/teacher says REPEATEDLY that its too advanced for us, but me and my friend keep bugging him about it anyways

bestie...idk how i even survive haha-
Haha I’m a first violin and I my arms feel like they are sticks and I can’t ply anymore 😭😭
I can play this at about 1.5 speedbut my arms aren't tired, just try get into the swing and the rythm. A lot of it is really just syncopation.
first violinist and basically in a nutshell, we die lmao
Try playing "Evil Eye and the Hideous Heart" for First Violin and ALMOST AT TEMPO-

This song is amazing! It is also really challenging and fun to play. I have been playing violin for almost 5 years
My fingers cry when playing this song (worth it)
This song makes me think of 20s evening gowns. I’m a dress history nerd, though, so everything reminds me of some historical era.
Played this in our HUGE high school chamber group and IS SO FUN OMG. Little hard without a conductor tho lol😅
why did you not have a conductor!!
@@Polorx_ LOL was a chamber group, meaning you don’t play with a conductor and rely on looking at section leaders during the pieces!
*cries in I’m in middle school playing it*
my class is playing this right now. love it so much! #violin
Same! This song is awesome, but its a nightmare to play.
Christina my class is also playing this and yep #violin
which violin? 1 or 2

One of my teachers made meatballs for us because we play this piece really well even though it wasn't concert week yet!
nice
meatballs
there is nothing else to say
When I first heard this my brain went “ahh heck nah!”
Now I listen to it and my brain goes "hell yeah!"
Played this in our orchestra concert this year it was so fun
only freaking piece I actually like playing. I hadnt played practiced the violin out of school until I head this song. :D
I played this piece in my Melbourne youth orchestra!
As in Australia? Well glad you Aussies got a little slice of a good old American fiddlin
My fingers hurt so much playing this but it was so fun!! Never again though 😂
i played this about two years ago and i’m going to be honest, i thought my hand was going to fall off and my bow was going to break.
There is a kid in my class that memorized the entire first violin part
This be my 2nd favorite.
then what be your favorite
My 2nd favorite from Meyer. #1 being 'The Elements'
My favorite is a caprice by paganini

Its the dynamics and style changes that make this song good. Speed is just a byproduct
Wierd flex but ok
Oof
but did it sound good
@@jdsarfo610 I mean with a song like this, it’s not hard to make sound good
Can't wait to play this in our concert!
This piece is on fire bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Might be playing this for our last second year concert I really hope our teacher lets us
This song is not for the weak
I actually quite liked this!
Kinda wish my orchestra played this
I’ve only been playing violin for 2 years yet this is a song along with 2 others I’ve gotta learn
My teachers gonna get this. We’re gonna try and play it in the Spring and we’ve been playing for a bit over 2 years. He says he doesn’t know what he did that made us so good. 😂
Damn, we’ve been playing for two years, and we still do level 1-2 music.
I’ve been playing for 3 years I’m on level 5 or 6
Swamp Thang...Louisiana... THIS SHOULD BE SAL’S THEME FROM IMPRACTICAL JOKERS XD
HAHA YES

That should've been played in the Emperor's New Groove
Even after ten years of violin this still made me sweat lol
I was going to play this for a school concert but it got cancelled due to the pandemic, wanted to play it so badly
This is the one orchestra song I listen to that my sister actually likes
Love this song!
New chances new dances by richard Meyers is one of my favorites, I love him
My orchestra teacher (is that the right term?) cut out the ending (the last line or so) and I am beyond mad. I should start a petition but that's too much work so here I am complaining.
wtf that’s the best part?
help our director wants us to play this at 120😭😭
That’s not bad
Just practices small motions on the wrist on open d
Playin' this piece, honestly not that bad with a bit of exposure therapy.
Me and my friend made a dumb name for this song its called “Shrek’s thong”
Imma suggest it to see if some 7th graders can play it in a month or 2!
I did it don't have it completely
I'm trying to play this as a seventh grader, it's hard but not all the parts.
did it work?
Our 7th grade orchestra learned it in about a week or so we I’m in 8th now
Ima suggest this to my teach tommorow i started violin in 6th grade and im in 7th rn, this is gonna be soooo fun
lol i remember playing this two years ago in region. it was really fun. but i didnt lose any bow hairs XD
What are you doing in my swamp??!
I’m doing this rn 😂
i like the cello
My orchestra teacher teased me with this song
@Hot Patrick username checks out
1:46 is my favorite part❤❤
For my whole first year of bass I wondered why anyone would want to play swamp thong.
Swamp thong💀
I don't even wanna play first no more after hearing this
Every time I played this in school, I would always break my bow hairs

No💀 It says grade 4 for orchestra not normal grade
Lol it's based on the grade level of the orchestra. Basically u learn by practicing with different level books to play that level of music. For example this piece would be level 4 of books or around high school from where I'm from. (And srry if it's to late to comment but just making sure u knew)
Y’all say this hard to play and that your gonna break your bow pfft. That means you don’t practice enough🥱🥱🥱
I'd assume that a bow breaking means they're working hard ! And this is a piece worth mentioning requires a lot of endurance and dynamic, it *could* feel like your bow is gonna break.
very angry and menacing goblin boss music
Sounds like it's from a video game
Yup
this song makes me wanna quit bass😭 the rhythms are so nasty and so are the accidentals
