This is in the wrong key, it’s written here as Eb major with a million accidentals, it would be much more accurately written in D# minor (6#). That way you wouldn’t have accidentals in every bar, and the chords would be correctly notated. CbEAb is not a real chord, that’s BEG# which is an Em chord. Edit: E major, not E minor idek how I blessed that up
@@ikurasake If you write this as Eb minor, the chord spellings are all wrong. The penultimate chord would be spelled CbEAb which is not a correct chord spelling. I think irl the members were probably handed sheets with 6 flats, because it is all brass instruments, but the theoretically correct key is 6 sharps so the chords are spelled correctly. Either way, 3 flats is definetly incorrect
@@ikurasake that’s true, that’s a mistake on my part. But personally I really don’t like treating Fb as a root note, it just looks messy and is unnecessarily confusing, especially without courtesy accidentals. It’s an E major chord, the whole thing just makes way more sense in D#. Really this is just not a very good transcription, and I don’t feel like re making it to read the two correctly notated versions in Eb and D# side by side to compare. You could put it in either, but I think that if I got this in Eb I’d have to write in accidentals where in D# I wouldn’t.
I think the whole thing is in the wrong key, it should be D# minor. The last 2 Chords are BEG# (Em) and EBE (E5). There shouldn’t be any flats in the whole thing.

This has been my alarm clock for ~6 years.
It starts with the quiet intro so it gives me like 30 seconds to turn the alarm off, otherwise the trombone destroy us.
its crazy how only like, 25 trombones are enough to completely overpower an entire drum corps playing at their max volume
This is the best use of trombones I've seen in DCI yet
I definitely love this, but I still think bluecoats 2016 tops this with the ballad glissandos and the trombone feature
@@Lentivity yeah that's a contender

Why D# minor? In DCI it would be more likely to be written in Eb minor. Flats are preferred over sharps on paper

@@TheEuphonium412 the last chord would be Fb Ab Cb which makes sense??

Erm… there’s no chords, and no bass bones, all bones play the same thing, and tubas play it an octave down
The B naturals should be C flats though
is this because of the key? I though they were enharmonic. I'm just curious because I know very little about composing/transcribing
@@bananamoose2604 it seems like the excerpt is in the key of Eb minor
@@ikurasakeWell kind of, but not really. The last two measures are Fb major, which is enharmonic to the more common E major.
@@james_subosits my interpretation was that the phrase does not end on the tonic which is what adds to the musical GE imo
I think the whole thing is in the wrong key, it should be D# minor. The last 2 Chords are BEG# (Em) and EBE (E5). There shouldn’t be any flats in the whole thing.
