@a1oilsauce123 true but a violinist cannot easily play the cello and vice versa. when it comes to the sax, after adjusting to the mouthpiece size, everything else is the same
@@a1oilsauceWell yes but you still have multiple major families that have very different timbre: strings, single reed woodwinds, double reeds, flutes, cylindrical brass, conical brass
This is my newest obsession. I think I've listened to it a dozen times. Not only is this group tight as hell, but I'd never realized how well a saxophone choir can emulate a full orchestra.
This is actually what Adolph Sax intended the saxophone to do. He made a whole family especially for replacing the traditional orchestra instruments. Unfortunately, the side that was meant for orchestra work was never produced in large numbers (except the C Melody to an extent) due to traditional French instrument makers rallying against Sax and burying him on legal debt so he couldn’t compete with them. The ones we know today; the soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, etc. survived because they found use in military bands until they exploded in popularity in the 1920s
Yeah. The saxophone was actually created to be a blending instrument between the different sections, so it’s pretty well suited to do basically anything tone-wise
This is the most astonishing transcription I've ever heard, and the performance was perfection. It sounded like some weird instrument on Ganymede playing Jupiter.
I love seeing the passion on everyone’s faces from 4:03 to 4:37 . Perhaps one of the most trying yet rewarding parts of musicianship is when you stumble across moments like those when the build up has finally formed into the climax and you can hear how well your part blends with everyone else’s, and each note becomes a struggle to hold because you’re trying so hard to focus on your part as opposed to the symphony which you have helped create.
Currently studying music and a student in the Saxophone Studio at the University of Missouri, and our Saxophone Ensemble is currently working on this arrangement! It's definitely a challenge but we're enjoying it! You all did a wonderful job with it, and kudos for doing the entire thing memorized!
We were actually planning on doing a performance for you all on Saturday but with all of non-stop rain we just couldn't! Hopefully you can make it again next year!
God that was so good! The soprano saxes were really top notch. There is just something special about hearing Holst on only saxophones... it just sounds like it was meant for them. So happy this exists. Thanks!
This is astonishing. I've loved this music since I can't remember. This ensemble sounds as luminous and sparkling as the orchestral version. I can hardly believe the range of tones they achieve. Bravo UT Saxophone Ensemble.
Disagree, I’d say “competent.” It’s okay, but the arrangement’s a little “thick in the middle,” as they say. I would have swapped out a tenor for a second bass (and maybe even an alto for another soprano?).
We were supposed to play this as a sax ensemble almost 1 year ago today, then Coronavirus hit. I listen to this and to "Danzon No. 2" by Arturo Márquez (the other piece we were supposed to perform) to mourn what could've been. Saxophone isn't my primary instrument, but whenever I held it and was a part of the few rehearsals we were able to accomplish, I felt a surge of power and confidence I'd never felt before. This piece is astonishing, as are the performers. Here's to my senior year in high school, the forever doomed class of 2021.
For all the fine comments listed below, there's an oversight that needs to be addressed. This fine performance would not be possible without the unmentioned arranger, who's saxophone adaptation beautifully & effectively captures the harmonic essence of the original orchestra--not an easy task.A wonderful example of the saxophone family's capabilities. Well done!
I feel proud to be a sax like look at the compliments they’re getting for this performance about how the instrument can imitate another instrument it makes me feel special that an instrument that I have can do that shown in the video 😭❤️
This is so fantastic. It was the background music of a film that was shown every hour at the North Rim Lodge at the Grand Canyon back in 1974 when I worked there. The title of the film was "Wings in the Canyon" and this music fit the views of the canyon so perfectly, filmed from a small plane. I cannot believe this was done with all woodwinds. Great job guys!
This is absolutely amazing, my favorite instrument playing my favorite classical piece. This shows how amazing saxophones are, that they can cover an entire symphonic orchestra. I myself have played tenor saxophone for a little over a year and I love it.
I play tenor sax too! And I find I can blend in well with high bassoon parts, alto clarinet, the second and third horn parts, the amount of instruments sax can blend with is amazing
What a spectacular concept, and surprisingly successful in its realization, bringing a whole new dimension to the saxophone world. Elegant, espressive ensemble!
This is a fabulous performance. When one first sees a group of wind instruments, mostly saxophones, saying that they’re about to do Jupiter by Holst, the first thing that comes to mind is that it will be some sort of comic version, but not at all. Outstanding.
I can’t believe I’m only now seeing this! This is what musical excellence looks (and sounds) like. I hope the audience understands how special is this thing they just experienced. I think they do.
As a saxophone player (section leader and first chair in my band), their tone quality and intonation is impeccable, and the fact that they can all stay in time with each other WITHOUT a conductor is incredible for that big of an ensemble.
You think that something? Try joining a competitive marching band where you need to know 8 minutes of music, while walking and running, with perfect technique. The process isn't fun, but the finished product is.
Arnaud Anglade these people don't have a drum major to help them keep time or anything, that's all based on pure memory, timing, and visual indications in the other performers. although they aren't marching, that means they need more focus on their musical aspects, which should be nearly perfect, unlike marching band where as long as you get the basic idea you get those points (i was in show band marching band whatever you want to call it too). don't think one group has more troubles than another, both have major obstacles that are unique to them, which may be just as hard as another.
That was amazing! One of my favorite classical pieces performed entirely on my favorite instrument! Not only was the sound surprisingly lush for so few instruments, but they did that WITHOUT SHEET MUSIC or a conductor!! It was all from memory! Wow, I'm checking out their channel!
Amazing arr. of Jupiter, from Gustav Holst's The Planets. Jupiter and of course Mars , are my two fave movements from this incredible full symphonic work you've heard many times in Documentaires and such. Listen to and/or buy this timeless full-length collection. Holst was a timless genius composer, imho! Yes, this Saxophone ensemble imitates and delineates ea. of the full orchestral voices, given the unique timbre of the full range of Saxes, from Soprano to Bass. Bravo. Bravissimo!
This is so well done. I saved the link so I can come back to it. I started listening on my cell phone. Hold it! This is way too good for teensy speakers. I put it on the big sound system and wow! This changes how I look at the sax family and those who play them. Thanks!
As a LHB Texas-ex trombone I can say this is the first time I have ever envied the saxophone. "Jupiter" is my favorite classical work and this could not have been done on trombone. Thank you for doing this.
I just discovered this, but wow am I here for it now - outstanding performance and musicianship! Unbelievably well-played. Thank you for sharing your talents with us like this!
Brings peace to one's heart. Gustav Holst, British, wrote the Planet suite early in the 20th centuary just before World War I. It is not surprising to my mind that so much art through music and poetry ensued at this time. ,
It was a piece I’ve heard hundreds of times maybe even a thousand, but this is extra-ordinary, this is marvelous. It might not have been the best version I’ve ever heard with all the string and the tubas and French horns and everything but there in lies the beauty. It sounds like it is; with ONLY saxophones. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hear and I hope one day to hear both the original and this version live to see what differences each provide and astound.
Fun fact: the saxophone was originally created to be a perfect blending instrument for traditional orchestra. Other musical figures at the time didn’t like the man who created it, and spread the news that it sounded terrible, so it was sentenced to jazz forever. And while it is great for jazz, it’s really sad that we don’t get to hear stuff like this more often. Beautiful playing!
That was amazing! I am ashamed to admit I have frequently dismissed saxophone music from orchestra....but this proves they have all the voices! Well done!
I see how each player moves in their own way while playing it. Where you can tell they are totally into the song and just letting it control their body.
Several years ago my wife and I were in England visiting close family members, we have lived in the US for 53 years but are VERY CLOSE to our families in England. There was a heated family argument going on, a BBC classical music station was playing in the background. Slowly we all started to stop arguing and we started to LISTEN, someone said in a hushed tone ITS JUPITER. We listened, each one of us in our own state of calm and peace, when it was over we all HUGGED and yes there were tears, the argument LONG FORGOTTEN.
Great Version. Well played, well recorded, well balanced and without any charts. Woah!!!!!! I will recommend this to my students. Greetings from Germany, (please relase the other PLANETS :-)
The Planets is one of my favortie pieces, I absolutely love every movement! But there’s something special in Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. Great work by these lads, hats off!
BRAVO!!!! COMPLIMENTS!!!! In those saxophones heard all the woodwinds, brass and strings in it... now you need 3 or 4 percussionists to be the complete orchestra!!! (I play timpani and mallets in concert band now, but I played for a few years alto and baritone saxophone... out of band I still play saxophone because it's an awesome instrument!!!!!)
Awesome performance, the sound, the arrangement 💯- and the first time I heard the whole movement instead of just the famous theme in the middle !! 👏🏼 🎉
Well then... Sooo... this is my first real full listen to Jupiter. I've been all over listening to other performances and they are lovely. This performance (also excellent recording) is a tough one to top.
Using Steampunk was brilliant. They are amazing. Holst Jupiter is beyond amazing. It’s ethereal. What a gift to be able to experience the BEST of The Best. Thank You, Browns for every hour you prepared to share your gifts with mankind.
Absolutely stunning performance from you all you are doing something amazing to a stunning piece of music I cannot imagine how much practicing to reach this standard of playing and with no music sheets in front of you congratulations to you Gloucester UK2019

😢😢😅
Their ability to mimic the sound of a full orchestra is outstanding.
the first entrance with the melody truly sounds like a horn. it is very impressive to say the least
That was what they were designed to do
Adolphe Sax knew what it was about. Fascinating guy.
That's why they were invented, believe it or not! To replace an entire orchestra!
It sounds very cool!
A saxophone can sound like brasses, strings and woodwinds at the same time. That's the beauty of the instrument.
Absolutely mindblowing instrument!!
to be fair, the orchestral instruments (violin, viola, etc.) are all just different scale versions of eachother
そのとおりです。You are absolutely right.

XD wow that's at least 50 saxophonist
That's what she said.
no!
Southern Pianist same
Southern Pianist he wasn't ready
If Adolph Sax were alive to hear this the first thing he’d say is “Get me outta this damn coffin!”, followed by “That was magnificent”!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Haha! We would like to think so as well!
But, if Sax were alive, he would be asking anyone to get him out of his coffin 🤪
@@maxenielsen lmao
Everyone please just appreciate that first sopranos amazing control of the Altissimo register, cranking out high A’s and C#’s like nothing
That's why they need a couple of Eb sopraninos
Damn the upper range on those sopranos are incredible. Really sounds like violins
I thought they were clarinets at first ngl
This is the most astonishing transcription I've ever heard, and the performance was perfection.
It sounded like some weird instrument on Ganymede playing Jupiter.
Thank you very much!
This is the best compliment I’ve ever read in my life for a musician/band/orchestra
I'm not sure why this was recommended to me by RUclips, but I am so glad! This is simply lovely!
We're glad it was recommended to you! Thanks for listening!
Same here! Well done Algorithm! Thank-you!
It's been 27 years since I played this piece, on alto saxophone, in marching band and I still love it to this day hearing it.
Thanks for listening!
bro you played jupiter in marching band? that's sick honestly
I can't believe they memorized this whole work! Bravi!
Thanks! It was a great challenge!
They really put the jollity into Jupiter, and it made it more fun! This was a great arrangement and a delight to hear!
Thanks for listening!
I've been on a jupiter kick tonight and this is my favorite arrangement I've found on youtube, no lie.

Why do I hear brass, strings, flutes and clarinets?????
Because these performers are freaking masters.
Because your ear has yet to develop more...
Andy Jacobs stfu please
Soprano for flutes and clarinets, brass is a mix of tenor and alto and strings would be their playing style.
Andy Jacobs true, true. The acoustics also probably play a vital role. Maybe they use special mouthpieces or reeds as well.
This is why the saxophone is the best. It can sound like flutes and oboes, or be big and brassy. Not that I'm biased or anything :P
Dude be biased for the sax. Fk all those other guys.
saxmanb777 You cant replace the french horn tho
saxmanb777 ok but sax is this easiest instrument
saxmanb777 I play trumpet and I agree
There's a reason that saxes are basically the only wind instrument used in pop music. They're universally, unquestionably better
