all the best for your SYF guys! It doesn't matter what piece you're playing, let's just go and have fun cause it may be the last but first SYF for some of us ): anw french horn here! ^~^
It's not about whether it is interesting or boring than the other. It is more to the executing of the piece as a band. It also depends on the choice by conductors. They will usually choose pieces that would go well with the band. To me, both pieces are equally interesting and difficult to play. A lot of things that needs to be polished. :)
Sarabande requires more focus. My conductor says that Gavotte is much more easier to play because it is faster and there are more things to play so it's not so hard to lose focus. Whereas, Sarabande has a lot of bars rest and it is easy to lost count. Anyways, jiayou people!! All the best!!
SYF isn't a competition. It is an event where band from schools get judged by professionals. And then be grouped according to their performance based on that 15mins on stage.
My instructor chose Gavotte for our band although we haven't seen the score for Sarabande because she knows that our tuning is weak (: When I heard the recording of Sarabande initially it sounds boring. But after repeated replays I realized it's actually emotional & slightly more difficult to play than Gavotte. Sarabande needs good intonation & phrasing while Gavotte, on the other hand needs good rhythm & articulation. ^^ Good luck everyone! Lets strivee
Yes indeed, Sarabande stresses more on the band's tone, intonation and musicality. Which is what Singapore bands are lacking of. It is also a piece which stresses more on the conductor's ability in bringing the flavour out of the band. Good Luck :)
It doesnt matter which is nicer. It depends on how the band executes the two pieces. It also depends on the ability on the band. Usually the conductor will dry run both pieces and choose the most suitable one for the band. Anyway, my band will be playing Sarabande as we feel that it would contrast to our choice piece. Even though some of us feels that Gavotte is nicer, we respect our conductor's decision. Saranbande is equally hard to be played. A lot to polish on intonation and phrasing. :)
Sarabande is a song which test u cuz there is a lot of different little details.overall sarabande is aore difficult song.thats how i feel. 1st trumpet here :)
can't describe how glad I am that this is so much easier than our choice piece
God i remember all the tekan sessions we got just to perform on that day itself
all the best for your SYF guys! It doesn't matter what piece you're playing, let's just go and have fun cause it may be the last but first SYF for some of us ): anw french horn here! ^~^

Jiayou for Tanglin Band ( My band ) ! Playing the Euphonium for Gavotte ! ^^
My school playing gavotte too! Nice song although some parts are difficult...
This is most probably played by the WindStar Ensemble, an AdHoc band.

Any euphoniums here? ;)
but it was then being taken down..
and just because of that bar, many schools made it the hard way...... by changing to Sarabande.
I can't hear the clar at bar 9. I thought the sax is mp so we should hear more of clar.
