this. this was the song that broke me. i remember hearing it in my freshman year, played by our senior band. one of the band directors got his elementary school daughter to say the ending and that made me cry so hard.
Played this as a euphonium- nothing has ever given me chills quite while playing this. Sitting with all the bass notes ringing all around you is unbeatable.
There is an awkward, weird time in this piece... It's the ending. It's so captivating that you want to applaud the ensemble but it doesn't feel right. When I listened to this piece live, the audience didn't know when to clap because it was so well done.
Earlier today, our symphonic band played this, is was the end of band camp. And I didn't really know what to expect, they played phenomenally and picked out cool pieces. But nobody heard about his one, only the people who playing it knew about it. Our lead band director, and the ( and director of the camp) gave out a speech after their second piece. They threw up the photos of victims, i remembered him saying, "we remember tragedies, we remember what we were doing, where we were. But I don't remember where I was when Columbine happened, Santa Fe, or robb Elementary. Elementary, middle schools, high schools, are effected, this shouldn't happen. We need to remember, we to take action." And like that they started playing. The whole theater was quiet. I was crying during the song, so many other people. Even the musicians were having trouble having dry eyes. After the show I heard one of them talking about how alot people were teary up while playing the concert. It was a shock, hearing them play, after it was over, a girl came up to the microphone qnd read a poem. It tore me apart, it was quiet, probably only 15 seconds, but felt like longer, lingering. It was a concert I won't forget.
I just performed one of his super recent pieces yesterday at all district band. It’s called Entrata and our performance was it’s second ever performance it’s first was in Florida a couple months ago and it’s such a beautiful piece it almost made me cry.(I play French horn)
I just played this as the euphonium player in the Ohio U honor band with the same conductor and I think this may be my favorite song I’ve played on euphonium. You should see Prof. Talley’s face when he builds up the percussion !
Alex not really. The only parts that could be challenging would be the accel. At 45, the stylistic changes throughout it, and counting the time signature changes from 84 to the end. Other than that the notes and rhythms aren’t all that difficult.
I played this song a couple of months ago during our district honors band. There was so much emotion put into this piece that I was shaking during the second half of the song.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Oh thank god, This is very close to me, and I thought you had been apathetic towards having a solo, I think I'll delete that comment.... lmao
I don’t understand why everyone loves this piece. Yes, it’s on a sensitive subject matter, the poem is nice and their heart is in the right place, but the piece itself is so uninteresting. The first half is a generic funeral march with no memorable melody. The second also has no compelling melody and sounds like a million other band pieces. On top of that, this piece invites a comparison to another work: Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) by Mahler which I feel was given infinitely more thought, full of symbolism and irony. As a connoisseur of sad music, I wanted way more out of Into The Silent Land. Maybe people are afraid to criticize it because of what it is about?

As if this piece wasn't chilling enough, we decided to play this for a member of our university band who had passed away earlier in the semester
RIP to your member

For me that was An American Elegy by Frank Ticheli. Played it right after Parkland happened and I openly wept at the off-stage trumpet solo.

Love this song on 1st clarinet , made me cry.

@@connorskeeters8981 that’s awesome, you’ll enjoy yourself
Playing this in my band at school💕 very well written... captures every aspect of that tragedy in a beautiful way.
I just performed one of his super recent pieces yesterday at all district band. It’s called Entrata and our performance was it’s second ever performance it’s first was in Florida a couple months ago and it’s such a beautiful piece it almost made me cry.(I play French horn)
I played this with my all district band this year. Such a beautiful piece! I had tears streaming down my face when we first sightread it.
What state? My district band did the same about a year and a half ago
The use of bowed crotales is so effective in this piece, as is the hint of "Abide with Me" during the narration. Bravo.
At what part in this video?
Allen P During the narration, the clarinets play the melody “Abide with Me”.
Katie lawrence Excellent job!
@@jordanklotz1944 Ah I hear it now. The sounds are layered well!
I noticed and lost it at that part... oof. Gorgeous, moving, and beautiful.

Zachary M is the euph part difficult?
Alex not really. The only parts that could be challenging would be the accel. At 45, the stylistic changes throughout it, and counting the time signature changes from 84 to the end. Other than that the notes and rhythms aren’t all that difficult.
Zachary M I’m looking forward to playing it. Thanks for the answer!
Oh hey, I was 1st Trumpet!
Love, love, love the French horns.
We just performed this in Edmonton a few days ago. Such a powerful piece of music.
One of my favorite lyrical pieces that I’ve planned in band
I get to play the gong for my band camp, I am happy
Almost made me cry
Working on this with the MU Wind Ensemble now - almost cried in rehearsal today. Looking forward to sharing this piece with an audience.
I played this song a couple of months ago during our district honors band. There was so much emotion put into this piece that I was shaking during the second half of the song.
Wait, NC?? my district honors played the same piece, and I’m just now going back and listening to it

@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions Oh thank god, This is very close to me, and I thought you had been apathetic towards having a solo, I think I'll delete that comment.... lmao
