Finally a bass trombonist that can handle the part! So many approach this sweetly. This is a film music bass bone part and it must be treated accordingly
Yippee!! I just stumbled on this while finding other Eric W. music! Pretty much how I saw it in my mind's eye as I read the cd notes!! Only someone as talented and jovial as Eric could come up with something this wild!! "GRRRRR! No one can ever kill GODZIRRA! HAI!!" Eric's not all serious choral music..:)
The piece calls for a theramin or a combination of whistling and singing from the musicians. I am pretty sure that they used the theramin in this instance.
Played this in 2010 with my high school. The video with the song wasn't as good, nor the performance, but my god, boy was it a blast, having 90'ish people playing at once. It's great being able to hear this song again.
To be totally honest, this was the first song I have ever played where "march of the elvi" was written in the music. It's....original, i will give it that. In all honesty though, I love this song, you get to play so many different styles, and tempos, and it has a unique story that goes with it.
The same thing they always use to make those stereotypical-alien-like noises. It is a theramin. You can't really see it but it is on the right hand side of the screen towards the front of the stage.
The last plunger trombone bit is supposed to be a "wolf whistle" when Godzilla first sees his exotic tango partner. But I have only heard it done well once or twice. Do trombonists even know what a "wolf whistle" is anyway?

we are playing this piece at school and my friend has to scream in the middle of it lol its hilarious but its such an amazing composition!
That dude should've screamed viva! a lot louder with a deep confident voice. That would've made it more fun! 😄
Brilliant slide deck to accompany this piece!
Playing this in Symphonic HS band- I LOVE roaring as loud as I can with my French Horn :) :)
This is composed by the same guy who composed lux aurumque
Wow
The French Horn part is the best part.
Na the flute part is the best, especially with just playing with the mouthpiece when is says quasi bombs dropped.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man! (BOC)
OH NO THERE GOES TOKYO GO GO GODZILLA
I'm smiling and laughing, a great rendition!
The visuals! Oh god, I can't! XD

Does any one have a copy of the video projection they used? Or another one as good? I'm doing it with my band and I really need a sweet visual

wow, such a great performance of an amazing song. would it be possible to get a copy of your slideshow? really cool
Any word on this? I would love it too, for my community band!
6:07 Eddy Murphy was in the audience !!!
@GettysburgBands: What was used to make the 2nd Initial Godzilla theme? you know the one with the odd stereotypical-alien-like noises.
Playing this in band now
Go, go, Godzilla
Good bass bone!

It may be wild but it isn't playing on my Imac
We are playing this for our concert in 2 weeks. I play the piccolo and I’m wondering how you make the solo at the beginning sound like that
The half time during Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen" wasn't conducted correctly.
Great name lel
It didn't make much sense that Zilla and Elvis fought like way the hell to the right of the stage.
Is it a real theremin or something else?
That's one god trumpet player haha.
3:35
0:22 7:39 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
No.
Omfg you guys are so weak on the screaming. Like literally that should be the easiest thing to do
Jose AKA that one clarinet player facts my band just played this at our concert yesterday. We sounded so damn good
@@kennethflorencio9777 same. My band played this for our final concert about 3 weeks ago
Stop being so rude
Some parts were good but the band did kinda bad overall. Cool performance though.
My band plays this a lot better than these guys do, and we have only been looking at it for a month or so :)
Jordan Smith ok cool
why am i better than the clarinet soloist and i'm in middle school
Congratz. Would you like a cookie?
