5:20-5:40 has to be one of my favorite moments in music. All three voices have something unique going on that can stand as it's own twist, but all blended together into a chaotic at first, but really organized variation
Idk if he’s underrated as much as he is just completely inaccessible to people who aren’t chronically listening to classical music (and/or people who grew up listening to types of music with polytonality so they’re used to it)
Excellent recording, though I expected nothing less. Recently played this with my community band. One of the more "out there" pieces we've brought to our audience. I wish I could have seen their reactions as the melody gets farther and farther from the original in its interpretation.
William Rhoads was my band instructor at UNM. He was first chair clarinet under Revelli at UM. He wrote many pieces for concert band, his main publisher Southern Music went out of business so he isn't played as often.
@@RaceProducer11 The organ score (at least) has this variation as a "Polonaise" (based on the rhythm of the accompaniment, and possibly also conversion to minor mode), but this arrangement, with castanets, clearly goes in the "Latin" direction.
In the origin, it was a melody composed in 1686 by Lully to celebrate the healing of Louis XIV after he underwent surgery for an anal fistula. God save the royal arse!
Listen to the music -- the bell of freedom ringing fecklessly like a child's toy, the sound of a military band appropriating Eastern tonality like the creeping arm of American imperialism, the hesitant, chromatic approaches to the melody, scattershot and loud crashes, the lost trumpet stabbing blindly at notes in the darkness and the original melody at it's most basic being nothing more than a co-option of "God Save The Queen." Ives is not painting the portrait of America you think he is.

Organized chaos I call it.
Ives is an underrated composer, this is such a good piece

I used to think this was out there. Now I think its pretty tame lol

I love the original organ version, and have played this version on bassoon and bass clarinet over the years, one of my favorites!
Have this album on CD; really enjoy it-love the transcription of Decoration Day...
I’m playing this for my wind ensemble class for GMEA
4:50 Trumpet Solo
wow what a great video. such good music
A fun piece, demonstrating the wit and inventiveness of Ives, and also nicely orchestrated, I had no idea of the existence of it. Well played as well.
3:56 for the amazing transition into the Latin theme
It is an excellent theme! But from a certain source I thought I heard that was supposed to be a Polish-inspired theme?
RaceProducer11 oh interesting!

@@franciskayali Ah, thank you for your clarification. I got that from my music history textbook, which provided an organ-rendition of the piece.
Trombone part at the end is very, very difficult. High and fast.
fantastic.
PMEA part auditions today!
