@@kriswilson6081 my director told us that he asked the composer about his inspiration, mostly because it was his favorite piece and thats what he responded with lmao
as a fellow band kid i have to agree with you on this one, i was playing a piece with the orchestra and they played this at the concert and at that point i lost all faith in how our band sounded the next day :(
I'm playing this for orchestra, and, the first time I heard it, I loved it more and more as the piece went on. Then, I realized that we were going to butcher it so hard and I cried on the inside.
Ugh.. The only thing I miss about high school is orchestra. It's really not the same playing on my own. I can play this piece perfectly now, so much better than I was in high school; but violin 1 is nothing without the rest of the orchestra... 😭
@@mariabautista2797 violin 1 is definitely harder, as usual. Usually violinists who've had more practice play the most difficult parts which is most often the melody in an all strings orchestra. This comment is less about difficulty and more about how pieces that are written for groups are never as good when only one musician is playing. Even the leading parts sound empty without the depth each layer provides
One of my favorite pieces I've ever played. I've always loved the sound ever since the first time I heard it. Everyone who has played it and heard it loved it instantly.
We had to play this a few months back and being a viola in the orchestra nobody really pay attention to us but in all it sounded great 👍👌✌️ go great falls high
I played viola when I was in school and there were only 4 of us and everyone absolutely LOVED how we sounded. I even got some solos at the UIL contests and stole ones the violin solos. I missed those days so much. 😭😭
I love this song! We’re playing it in chamber orchestra, and it’s one of my favorite orchestra songs. I usually come up with stories for the orchestra songs, this one reminds me of two people in 1860s evening gowns doing some sort of magical fight thing and it’s very dramatic and hard to explain.
@Justanormalwizardlizard man this brought back a memory lmao. I miss being in orchestra, have fun man! Good luck, this piece is really satisfying to play together!
I get to play this in 8th grade first violin and its fun but mainly easy but i love how it sounds with all the instruments and energy put into the song is amazing (We also play curse of the rosin eating zombies) for halloween concert
Omg same we played this song and curse of rosin eating zombies we have 7th and 8th grade combined in orch (over 50 ppl in it) I'm also first violin also I'm in 7th grade
Thank you to this piece I played this with my symphonic string class and we played it at MPA along with The gift and Wired and it got us straight superiors 🎶
I'm a total newbie player but my orchestra teacher has decided this is the perfect song for his intermediate orchestra class to play at the very start of the year🥲
how long it did take y'all to learn this cause it's taking a second for me cause idk we're not playing it too much in class but i really love the sound and im trying to play at home :>
Im in eighth grade and we were supposed to play this piece but out teacher didn’t have the piece with her because she used to teach another school and she left the piece over there😭☹️

Fun fact: the composer's inspiration for this is when he had a dream where his wife stabbed him and he was slipping on his own blood. Weird.
No way!!! The composer (Mosier) was a guest conductor for my orchestra's rehearsal a couple years back. Crazy story
@@kriswilson6081 my director told us that he asked the composer about his inspiration, mostly because it was his favorite piece and thats what he responded with lmao
@@QieQieQuiche do you have a website to back this up cus I know my orchestra teacher will love that fact I just wanna make sure it’s true.
@@PretentiousFish there's a reply above yours
I'm never able to listen to this piece the same way again 🤠
I'm ready to show up those icky band kids
Me too

I'm playing this for orchestra, and, the first time I heard it, I loved it more and more as the piece went on. Then, I realized that we were going to butcher it so hard and I cried on the inside.
Everyone had a vote and majority decided not to played it. Then I played the parts that the Violins had to play on my Viola just to spite them.
A mood
Same. Whenever we first play a song it sounds like trash, and it doesnt sound better until the dress rehearsal the day before our annual concert.
same tho
My problem is our conductor makes us play it at the speed of fucking light-
Those freakin' glissandos though
That’s ling ling’s daily warm up right there
@@ConversationswithRei fellow linglingwannabe eh?
@@ConversationswithRei a practice to get his 40 hours started
Bruh them slurs
@@xixixixixixixixixixixixixi834 it's a glissandl too tho
The Basses finally get a solo I got so happy because we finally have something important
if you don’t know it, listen to the emerald falcon by richard meyer 😌
@@moramoment3536 Dude I love that piece
The base solo when we have to pluck for so long is so hard for me bc there’s only two of us
I love basses and I was so happy to hear they got a solo
Bro Omg yesss we finally are usefull and not playing half notes
play at 1.25 speed for optimal listening experience
Gavin Bradley lmao put it at 1.5 speed and that’s how fast my conductor is taking it

Yeah I hope I’ll still have some friends who olay instruments from orchestra later on, so its not just me lol
Do You mean first violins are much harder or much easier?(in this piece)

@@thebigstinker334 that's when my orchestra first started the piece, but we revisited it in high school and it was significantly more refined.
finally, double bass love and appreciation!!! we finally get the melody line in a song!
YES
I played this song when I was in 8th grade and I was second violin
I heard this at a concert at school, and I fell i loved with it because if how eerie it sounds, and I love eerie-like stuff!

Though it also fits surprisingly well with a scene in the beginning of The Left Handed Fate
@@stavp6673that’s what I was thinking my middle school played this
I played this for my 6th grade year of All-Region and 2 other songs!!!!!
6th grade? When did you start?
I started in the 5th grade but I have an AMAZING teacher!
(Sorry I switched accounts)
You played this song with one year of experience??? I’m impressed. I’ve had almost 5 years of experience and I’m having trouble with some parts…
thanks for the amazing piece! we are playing it in orchestra and it is an AWESOME song to start the year off with!
Love this. Someday I will be able to play something like this on my violin (self-learning)
Are You able to play now?
I love playing this song. It's so cool. Great piece
gotta love bass solos
except for when i do them myself
SO HAPPY ABT IT
We're playing this song for my orchestra concert that's next month and I'm a cello, but it pretty cool

I'm in 8th now and we would butcher this piece so much 😭🤚
