1.25 speed is the speed that sounds best to me, but idk. I feel like every string arrangement of this piece is leaving something about the original out.
So happy I found this song performed by strings! My Senior year orchestra played this as part of our final concert. Had it stuck in my head today. Very pleasant memories.
I played this today for a band concert and we only had about 36 hours of knowing the piece before we performed it. It was so much fun and I miss it already!! Go clarinets!!!
1st violins, 2nd violins, and violas, if you aren't playing the fff part at 184 all on the G string then you should start doing that because it sounds sooo cool!
What g-string notes?? Those are on the d-string, and if u mean play those notes on the g-string, why? Because that's just unnecessary shifting, plus some conductors are specific with the string u play on.
@@GlxwMain Playing all those notes on the g string loudly creates a really cool and powerful timbre that I think works really well in that section. It's not necessary, but it's awesome. And the fingerings aren't that difficult
@@codascheuer8426 True, I might teach that to the 6th graders that are in the audition group I am in next time we have sectionals, then maybe get that approved from the conductor....
@@GlxwMain Ok, maybe 6th grade is a little too early for them to be doing that, unless they've been playing for a long time. I played this piece in highschool, so I knew the kids in my orchestra could handle it. But it also wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. It just depends on their level
I played this a couple years ago in orchestra and so i thought it would be a great idea to try to play along with the video and boy was this song harder than I remember
TheAwkardTurtle aka-NatNguyen i think it's suppose to be slower because it's hard to play faster. With all the shifting on the a string it's hard. If u even play the violin. My friend was in the advanced orchestra in middle school and practically 80% of the orchestra left to do other things. They were amazing tho, but most left because they gave up and couldn't handle it.
Astralliie I did Suzuki up to book 5 and then did solo pieces selected by my teacher. To play this well ("well" being a key word) I'd say you've got to be passed book 5 for sure.
Ok but this sounds like Arabian Nights ~Soon Hee Newbold in the some parts ngl Don't get me wrong this is an amazing song, it just sounds similar to the other one (:
playing this in orchestra at like 1.25x speed and my orchestra teacher’s absolutely insane wish me luck fellow orchestral musicians ☠️
How was it?
1.25 speed is the speed that sounds best to me, but idk. I feel like every string arrangement of this piece is leaving something about the original out.
1.25 of this recording’s tempo is normal tempo 😅
That Caracasian Adaptation is the best
I had to play the original version by Saint-Saens at like 1.35x this tempo 😭
We’re playing this in orch... rip fingers
R.I.P☠️
*Aaha* my fingers!!!
Same here, it's honestly the worst
It's not all that bad, but it will be one that you can also memorize on the spot
@@itsnando20 lol
Had to play this for All State. It has scared me for life.

Robyn Downard this is the strings orchestra adaptation 😌
*GO VIOLINS!*
GO SECOND VIOLINS!!!
Do people even know the violas??
@@haleyneuman478 Haha ikr GO VIOLAS!
my orchestra is totally gonna tear this to shreds
We played this last year for a competition and got 1st places at nationals!!!
It was definitely my most favorite piece I have done!
🥸🥸🥸
congrats!
My favorite part is the Viola/Cello part at 4:42. Pushing through sounding strong AF!
Actually, it’s G, F, D sharp, and D.
@@temporaltoast9692 lol!
And the bass
yeah thats the audition part for my allstate audition (im violist)🥲
Playing this in orchestra and I have the violin solo :)
Wow
playing this too but i have the original oboe solo!
Me too
Concertmasters unite!
@@codascheuer8426 Oml, yea I have the solo too!

My favorite part is 4:12, because I like how fast it is.
play it in 1.25 speed
Yo, thanks!
Why
Bc thats the original speed at this piece ;)
*Good Jesus god.*
Well then rip cellos and basses at 4:13
Really a nice piece to listen to when your practicing your violin.
I played this a couple years ago in orchestra and so i thought it would be a great idea to try to play along with the video and boy was this song harder than I remember
Nice score ! A great tribute to Saint-Saëns.
Lovely! Years since I have heard this piece, it is so sensual, so colorful. Yeah, classical music rocks!
I remember playing this in orchestra one year and I couldn’t remember the name of it and I finally found it
Still better than many other arrangement whose only purpose is to make noise. Those are not "bacchanale".
i'm so mad because i never got to play this piece in my year end concert due to covid ;-; i was SO excited for this one
that one long part for the violas brings me pain
which part? theres many🥲🥲
@allisonridgeway8850 the 40 measures of violas playing the low A
I never wanna play that portion again
We never get the good part smh
currently playing this piece, i literally cannot count it at all so i just don’t
1:19 makes think on the Pirates of the Caribbean :-)
Alexandr Holický ok
Okeeee
Ok
Oh wow it does lol
A little bit yah
I love playing this song
This song was way easier than I thought
Let's face it. We all have to play or played this in orchestra at one point.
im here cause we played it last year ☠️
@@prismothaltit’s so good. I
Played the real version tho 😞 and faster x2
@@fearful442 me too
@@prismothalt loved it. Best middle school concert.
@@fearful442 we are high schoolers, i can’t imagine playing this in middle school 😭
Played this last year, I miss it so m u c h.
its supposed to be faster
+TheAwkardTurtle “Skippy” aka-NatNguyen Play it at 1.25 speed and it's almost perfect.
ikr
this way its nicely relaxed (the beginning)
Yes, this way its nicely relaxed

1:39 is for sure the best part
I love this piece.
If you’re not playing measures 181+ as fast as humanly possible what are you even doing
I have to play this as a first chair violin for all city
The description says grade 3-4 but im learning this in 8th grade
Orchestra grades are different than actual academic grades
ty olmedo really? This is a tough piece, and I learned it in 10th, and it’s still very hard, props to your director!
Same.
Same.
I played it at summer camp in 6th grade it was faster then this and it was really difficult this is a slower version
I’m in sixth grade and playing this in my honors orchestra 🎻. It’s pretty hard 😮💨
oh thats odd its not hard for my honors choir
@@scrimples9419 the flex is strong with this one
im playing for 7th rn
that means ur 8th grade?
@@lunareliclips10 yes 👍
We play it in a children's orchestra at 1.5x speed. Camon, we are 14 each
Also at the end we have achelerando!
I'd make some comments, but then I realized that this written for Grade 3-4, so I know that it's supposed to be simplified.
Adam DiRocco Orchestral Grade 3-4 not Literally Grade 3-4
+Music Ghost do you guys do Suzuki Method? as in I'm in Book 7 out of 10?
Grade 5 is professional fyi. I've played this arrangement, it's very good.

8th grade playing this arrangement
This was our closer for marching band (A LOT OF CHANGES BUT STILL IT WAS THIS)
Same here! We played it in 2018 in a show called Mirage.
We did it in 2018 too. Our show was called charmed
Playing this in orchestra except ours goes up to measure 384. Fun but holy crap
Comrade this is of very good
*Ahhh, my russian friend*
Playing this for my eight graduation concert 😭 it’s rlly smth….
played a variation of this by scott ward for marching band on trumpet, it was hella fun
I hope our orchestra wouldn’t play this at 1.5x the normal speed
Needs winding up to get to speed with the middle bit added.
Ok but this sounds like Arabian Nights ~Soon Hee Newbold in the some parts ngl
Don't get me wrong this is an amazing song, it just sounds similar to the other one (:
Muito Linda !!
thank you very much
From 1:00
Should be named "Cleopatra's Dance"
0:35
After measure 106 there are normaly 5 measures before the theme begin..
Indeed it start with a A in the cello whereas it´s supposed to be a E
+H. Ferjani It is ARRANGED
1･25倍で聞き慣れたスピードのような気がします。
i am playing this as a part of the Queensland Youth Orchestra, but much faster.. Amazing piece though!
We’re playing Merle j Isaac’s arrangement in my orchestra… it’s goofy
A nice piece
0:55 1:38 3:40 4:38
I’m good friends with the solo person when I played it. We had less than a week to perform. And we were all 12 😂😂😂
How can i get the score?
Am I the only one hearing the piece half a bar earlier than written?
At 2:46 The 1st Violins were written in a measure early. Gets me every time. 😅
hola! en donde me es posible encontrar partituras, AYUDAA!
The real speed is 3x faster
Random Person Try setting the speed of the video to 1.25, it’s almost is perfect.
@@KyleT0928 yes somewhere between 1.25 and 1.5
I played this, it was fun
あれ？こんなにゆっくりな曲でしたっけ？なんか違和感スゴいんですけど？
the intro sounds mesmerizing
prefer the wind orchestra version
Siew Yong Li ew no
I like both
Speed x1.25 ;)
It is like either you are the solo or the first, you get nothing
death
noiccce
好聽
Boiiii just practice and you’ll make improvement instead of saying that it’s too fast or that your fingers will R I P
1.25가고수
Try actually playing the original piece🙃
not too beautiful
I am so excited to play this part, I'm just not excited for the 88 beats of one note 🥲
