Gustav Holst is a god to me as a euph player. We'd always get the boring and/or unimportant parts, and I was talking to my band director about it and we're playing the entire second suite in band. The Greensleeves part is so nice to play
Oh my God. I played this as first chair clarinet in 2009 and I haven’t. Stopped. Singing/Playing/Humming this song since. I now have 4 nieces and nephews who all know this song despite not playing a wind instrument BECAUSE OF ME! But I forgot the name of it about 5 years ago or so and could NOT remember it for anything 😭 add that to the fact that I also couldn’t find my old sheet music and it’s been 5 hellish years of humming this tune but not being able to remember its name... until now!! All I could remember was that it was part of a 4 part suite and omg after searching for foreverrrr I’ve finally found it again 😂
I loved seeing the Greensleeves melody move at a different rate from the rest of what’s going on. It’s not only interesting sonically, but also visually; it’s a whole different experience!
I've used multiple time scales in several videos ... ruclips.net/p/PLtj_HurkS7Zz9aCAaRsl8n3iWOGaEe54u ... but the effect in this one is different because the meters contradict (3/4 versus 6/8), which makes the Greensleeves melody sound like it's being played by another group and (just happens to fit in). That's why I depicted it as transparent --- so that it feels more like it's in its own world, floating by without being aware of the jig. If you want to read about how I used this technique in other videos, here's a page I wrote about it: www.musanim.com/MultipleTimeScales/
I like the moment where you stretch out the second-part harmony behind everything, it's neat. Holst likes doing the thing where he repeats a motif a dozen times but with different instruments throughout the piece. Although I'm not the largest fan of the motif he released with this movement, with the little tuba/bari sax/b. c. part at the end, as a tubist myself, he bought me. Especially that little tuba part at the end. Also thanks for freaking me out with that last tutti part.
Yes, he has always made great graphics. But i like that Pythagorean things too. Let's remind that Pythagoras is credited being the one who first organized our occidental music. Besides that, arithmetic is pure music, and these Pythagorean studies that smalin does must have a impact on his graphics, which are getting always better with time. What do you think about about that?
Showing how the 6/8 becomes both 2/2 and 3/4 at 0:51 and 2:01 was absolutely genius. I'm playing tambourine and cymbals on this piece right now and I'm going to send this movement to our band director in hopes that he will pass it on to the entire band.
Late I know, but to answer you question. A Dargason is a specific english folktune. This movement of Holst's second suite takes the Greensleeves melody and layers it on top of the Dargason melody. Greensleeves is easier to find on RUclips, so you should look that up, and you'll be able to hear the other melody that's playing and realize that its what Dargason is.
It’s very good APART from the notes that explode inwards from outside to center. It’s meaningless to a non musician 👩🎤 and just plain confusing and distracting. I mean notes start at the beginning and end later not from the center - what does that even mean??
There is a second interfering melody (main tune), so the creator of this roll placed a different roll for it at a different speed. That way it separates and more adequately features both melodical lines at the same time. It isn't "confusing and distracting," it's differentiation of two like melodies designed NOT to confuse a "non-musician," as you blissfully state.

You are so right

Played this in High School back in 2017 and seeing this piece visualized is wild. Never realized how complex that time change really made the piece
I love the end, very surprising!
Thank you, once again, for your creativity.
I really enjoyed that ending!

I like the choices you made with the different scrolling speeds during the hemiola and the ending.

My pleasure.
I love the way you animated Greensleeves over the main theme!
Thanks! I may be doing a new version soon; subscribe if you don't want to miss it.
This movement is a masterclass on timbre in the wind band.
Great series! Love the layered aspect of this one to highlight the slower melody.
Played this in high school 2 years ago
What a surprising piece and a wonderful graphic. Thanks for bringing this to us!

I'm so pleased you appreciate that.
This piece was so much fun playing the tuba, had to have some quick fingers and properly lubricated valves.
only people who played this song saw the end piccolo and thought "wait theres a big hit after, wheres the colors?" then bam!!!
gotcha
@@smalin why'd you do that though?
@@theonlinetubist9504 Have you ever looked at a map without a legend?
Playing this for a concert, hope I don’t mess up😢
I think i like holsts marches more than sousas
This isn't a march but absolutely. Hands down.
Yes
I play this is the 80's concert band
I am here for school aswell
green sleeves!!!
Wait whats a dargason

Martin Tippins i think is to differentiate the instruments. It may mean the air going out from the brass instrument.
