We want to thank you for this performance - sublime piece of art. And at its best: the more you hear, the more you have to think, and the more you are able to think, the more you hear.
The Western University Percussion Ensemble in London, Ontario, Canada performed this in March 2024 in what was our professor’s last percussion ensemble concert before her retirement. I can’t think of a better way to mark such an event than performing this piece. It’s hard, no doubt, yet so touching and moving from beginning to end, especially in the slower sections and buildup at 9:25 to the grand climax at 9:40. The silence at the very end is so powerful. Lots of misty eyes both on stage and in the audience following the conclusion of this piece. Thank you, David Maslanka, for blessing us with such a work of art in the percussion ensemble repertoire world.

I’m not a big fan of percussion ensembles being conducted. I’m if the opinion that unless the group is 16+ it doesn’t need to be conducted and should be considered chamber music.
Jacob Bass I think piece is an exception, lots of moving parts and man is this piece incredibly hard to play, I played it last year and I believe this one does require one, bust for the most part most dont
This piece is really difficult and has lots of little details in terms of stretching time. Lots of fermatas and times where musical pauses feel necessary. It’d be a nightmare to play without a conductor
@@jjynja6084. Chamber ensembles can easily perform fermatas and rubato without a conductor. Musicians can conduct within the ensemble. Wind instruments can conduct with their horns, strings with their scroll, and percussionist with their mallets.
Honestly I really find it disrespectful that there is an ad in the middle of this beautiful piece of music.

One of the most beautiful pieces in existence. This should definitely be considered a masterpiece of the percussion world.
I think it is!
It definitely is!

we did this at UNCG in 95, good memories... so beautifully done Lance.
We are rehearsing this right now and lemme say, what a piece to kick off my freshman year at high school!
from the words of John Mapes himself to his Chino Hills HS drumline, no one cares if you're a freshman, if you're good, you're good.
Jjynja I played this last year as a freshman too! What part did you play?
Jack Clancy I think the marimba four part? I just remember it had a lot of 32nd note ninelet runs
Did the same about 2 years ago. I had vibe one, and we practiced it together about 3 times... never worked out in the end
Fantastic performance.
But so expensive... the number of marimba ones...
The greatest percussion ensemble ever.
Aizver acis un ieklausies. Cik skaņa ir apbrīnojama! Paldies par iespēju klausīties!
Paldies, это прекрасно! Релакс...
nice
M. RAHMAN true...,thanks..
Beautiful music!!! Thank you for recording it and sharing it. What a moving performance.
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice! ❤️
"Jesus"? "Sacrifice"? What's this all about?
atheistcable just google crown of thorns and read the first entry
This is beautifully done! I am touched.
Thanks for this. This is the best recording of this I've heard. I heard the UMN percussion ensemble play this in 2010 and have loved it ever since.
this is beautiful (:
4:04 time stamp for myself!! my high school’s ensemble is performing this in a month, wish me luck :]
Didn't realize the ad in the middle of this piece was still a thing
1 ad interrupting was bad enough, but 2?!Cmon RUclips, have some level of standards.
Ah yes, just let me casually pull out my 5 rosewood 5-octaves.
Lovely lovely.
I wish there was a LOVE option for this.
There are 5 different marimba parts, 2 vibes parts and one bells part
very good
En tant que mélomane j aimerais voir cety ensemble venir jouer au groupe Maurice le22 lrsque cela sera possible.
why did my airpods have to die so soon

Take the ads out.
Skip to the end and press the restart button. That should do the trick

Agreed. I played this at high school age with no conductor. It's still my favorite piece I've ever played.
