MusicWorks - Grade 4
Although composed for a video game, this African-flavored modern masterpiece has taken on a life of its own in pop culture as well as on the concert stage. This transcription by Matt Conaway matches the original orchestration and is compatible with the composer's own version for chorus. Performed with or without chorus, the effect is dramatic and moving.

This is probably my favorite arrangement of this piece I've ever heard. Very faithful to the original

[@Bozeman42]

Yeah, I often play my part (horn) along with the orchestral recording. Fits perfectly

[@siryak]

the horn solos and rips on this are so fun to play

[@luishuerta2505]

Puts tears in my eyes when I performed this

[@amandaharrold4246]

Love the euph solo

[@squiffurthewolf6276]

Yeah lets gooo euphs, also yes the solo is so good, 2:05 I also love the part in the euphs here, those notes sound so good

[@ER.426]

@@squiffurthewolf6276 not just the euphs 😭

[@HogRidda]

its a trombone

[@claireh6494]

it's both trombone and euph i think

[@joshwatterson6688]

The one at around 00:15 is made for euphonium, but I'm playing it on trombone because our baritone isn't confidant enough.

[@SuperMarioOddity]

It's rare that I get goosebumps from a part that I'm playing, but this song is so epic I got goosebumps from my own suspended cymbal!

[@trondheimersgaming8882]

These french horn jumps. That's so nice :D

[@YuFanMei]

That high Bb in the horn tho

[@Spruc3_b0n3s]

Yes pray for me😭

[@micheli5772]

The final chord gives me chills every time

[@themayhemmachine]

I loved playing trombone one on this. Solos were amazing, although I didn't hit the high A, but at least you couldn't hear me miss it cuz of the horns lol.

[@johnnydasuper]

This sounds amazing, also I thought it said baby Yoda for a second

[@thatonetrombonist9385]

At 2:54 the suspended cymbal came a measure late

[@jflauto3917]

hey, the percussionists are trying their best

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Hal Leonard Concert Band Thanks for the Choir & Band arrangement. I don't see the Choir part anywhere, there's just not enough space for that. The Piano part can be used w/ the band cause it's neat.

[@thatonetrombonist9385]

When you are a shaker player and you have to play sixteenth notes the whole time nonstop for 3 minutes and 13 seconds except for one triplet
😐

[@mansamusa8191]

shut up and shake

[@kaziiqbal7257]

Worth it

[@oliviavanhook1183]

Dylan Stier lmaooo

[@y2k2all]

So that's why this shaker is off half the time? Really difficult to listen to.

[@Dylan_0130]

@@y2k2all fr it’s so bad

[@mejiKitsune]

So cool! My Chorus they sing Baba yetu to day!! 😬😬

[@dedede5586]

we don't deserve matt conaway

[@jcers]

Finally, this is the one I have been waiting for

[@miniemangames]

Playing this on euph is so much fun and a great piece to play.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Interestingly the SSATBB Score doubles as a Piano Reduction Score & the Concert Band may play in unison w/ the Choir (on passages that have Choir cue notes as we could call them) if they need "reinforcements".

[@yetanotherinternetdisaster]

playing the french horn solo coz our band doesn’t have any 😤💪

[@voidking07]

Solo euphoniums rise up

[@Smoke74962]

I love the very first few measures

[@steven123lucky]

Read this as “Baby Yoda” for a sec

[@deku3554]

Steven123lucky I knew I wasn’t the only one!

[@OreoDaDog._.]

sameee 😂

[@BeanMaster69420]

Miss band camp. This song was a highlight there. Would recommend for higher level bands or bands looking for a challenge.

[@hj-ko4cp]

If I mix Vinson's and your arrangement it will be amazing.

[@kathenderson3427]

This is one of my songs for half time my first year I'm playing clarinet so the notes are still kind of hard

[@BeanMaster69420]

Felt

[@desirwendy1293]

I've seen two different arrangements of this music from the same arranger Matt Conaway. but I better like the other arrangement. how I am gonna identify them when I am gonna buy it from the you?

[@HLConcertBand]

Two ways: note the Series (listed in the Description field), or follow the link in that field to the HL website and note the HL number (e.g., HL0400xxxx). (The series is on the website, as well.)

[@miggyburner8790]

Please do the Mandalorian!!

[@daniellerenee4494]

Wow this is amazing

[@theawkwardotter464]

Question: Why have there been like 5 versions of this and Sogno Di Volare?

[@Kerbonaught]

Because they go hard, next question.

[@damianhei5555]

When you got to play this wish the arranger😍

[@happyhelpfulhoovy]

Hail the Glorious Nation of Datlof!

[@funkysan]

baba yetu more like mama let you 😜😝🤪

[@Username5930-m7s]

I might be blind but am I the only noticed that all the parts are written in the same key.

[@nerdyoof6248]

Gotta be honest I don't get the choice of giving all those solos to trombone when they'd sound 10x better on euph but nice arrangement regardless

[@tromboneJTS]

0:38 T-bone double time

[@richy77]

A tiny bit of a messy performance

[@Scienceburritto]

Doesn’t quite have the same majesty of the choral edition, but really well done considering what there is to work with

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Because its easy for vocals to make a lot out of a song with lyrics whereas with band its difficult
