Here for the oboe

As an ethnic Armenian it is such an honor and joy to hear Armenian popular themes that every Armenian must have heard at least once in his/her life all in a melange/medley, so to speak, of a classical orchestral piece that carries the ethnic to the international. One cannot miss Komitas's melodies among other particulars. The piece is vivid and lively and I guess that makes it a favorite of brass bands or wind ensembles... Thanks A. Reed. 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

Love the oboe guy

I've played that part before, a long looooong time ago. It's a *lot* of fun! My favorite sections are the "Christmas at the Mall" section that immediately follows the opening of the piece; the oboe has a very short exposed solo I actually still could play from memory (notes: Bb - D - CD, Bb, Bb, F Bb - D CD, Bb, Bb) that's scored to just let the oboe sing all exposed; another favorite part of mine was in the 5/8 section... and of course all those madcap runs at the very end of the piece. This has to be the most technically accurate performance of this piece I've ever heard, and I understand Tokyo Kosei is famed for their performance of this particular piece. Now I know why!

I was honored to play this under the direction of Dr. Reed at the 1975 Mid-West Band and orchestra clinic with the VanderCook College of Music Symphonic Band. It was a thrill.

I played this for my county's All-County Band, and our conductor also played this under Dr. Reed. We didn't take the second half (measure 224, where the 2/4 began) as fast as this orchestra, but the entire song sounded amazing, even from the percussion section, where I was playing.

You one lucky person! My band director knew Reed and we played a bunch of his stuff, but he was never a big show about it.

We played this in high school. As a piccolo player, I was delighted to find a piece that allowed such expression and technical challenge. My youngest son is now a trumpet player, and viewed this video yesterday. "Mom, now I know why you loved being a musician."

As an armenian i like this performance very much.

Absolutely fantastic saxophone. Wow

トロンボーンの奏者さんが演奏しながらにこやかにしてらして、楽しんでいる気持ちが伝わってきました。こんな中で演奏できたら気持ちよさそう。

lets talk about the wonderful percussionist who played the tambourine part, her consistency and touch is always my goalll

This is one of the classic pieces TKWO is famous for. I remember when i first heard their recording under Alfred Reed, and remember playing the piece in high school and realising how difficult it was to achieve the standard set by TKWO's recording. A few years later, i had the pleasure of having TKWO come to my country for a festival called WASBE, it was so exciting to hear them play this live. So technically perfect, and they sound beautiful as always. And now, i chanced upon this video recording on youtube. The standard and technical brilliance is still there. It just brings back so many memories and makes me so happy. TKWO will always be the top wind orchestra in my book!

This is my favorite song I ever played. It reminds me of a time where I was the youngest in my section, first time on a piece this hard. And I got to be a first clarinet, which on this piece is awesome. I was one of few chosen to march in my grade in marching band that year and I was one of two sophomores in the band that played this piece. I was in a stable, happy relationship for the first time. It was all new territory, and I loved every minute of it. I really should have practiced the runs more, because I could barely play them at the time! I know if I put in more work I could have done it. Such happy times :')

English Horn. One of the most enjoyable pieces to play with it - the beginning solo, i find, is really dramatic and expressive. I love this piece.

It’s been years since I’ve played this piece my sophomore year in high school, and it’s still absolutely one of my all time favorites. I played flute at the time.

吹奏楽ってなんだかいいな。 普段、弦か、オーケストラしか聴かないんだけど、吹く楽器だからなのか、鼓動を感じると言うか、音の層は薄くて洗練はされてない感じなんだけど（やっている方々すみません。）なんだかすごく生命力と息吹を感じる。 感動しました！

宮村先生の音やばい😂

宮村さんのオーボエ、小さく見えてちょっとかわいい笑 演奏はとっても伸びやかだけど！

Thank you from Armenia!! Absolutely perfect performance.

Brings back a lot of fond memories almost 30 years ago when I played this in a band

What an amazing group of musicians. Thank you for posting. I heard many recordings of this group but never a live performance.

日本の吹奏楽の聖地の普門館そしてAリード生誕100年どちらも吹奏楽になくてはならない存在であり今後も語り継がれるべき伝統といえます。

須川さん指揮のTKWO聞きに行けてよかった。宮村さんソロのアルメ生で聴けて感動した。サックスソロの田中さんもたまらなかった。

I played this in High School, and loved it. I watch Eurovision every year, and generally love Armenia. I'd love to visit one day.

中学の時吹いて以来冗談抜きで毎日聴いてる笑

EXCEPTIONAL performance and interpretation! Having studied and played this wonderful piece under the baton of its commissioner, Harry Begian, the conductor did a masterful job re-creating this marvelous composition! BRAVO!!

Great job to the orchestra and also to the one who put this video together. Inspiring!

I’ve played principle trumpet on this piece this summer at a music camp and the last part always got everyone in the band super energetic to the point a few members would dance to it during rehearsals

クラのfirst吹きました 中盤のクラソロくそ難しくて指つりそうでした✨ なのに二人でこんなにぴったりあってるなんて。。。 素晴らしき花です( *ﾟAﾟ)

We played this in high school in 1976. I practiced that English Horn solo (at 1:05 ) so many times I still remember it today. My favorite piece of all time in band!

One of my favorite pieces.

Working with this smaller wind orchestras (transparancy) and the work effort, moral, hunger to learn and discipline of this musicians is beyond words (don't laugh because of there come of). l highly respect them, it is a privilege to work with such a discplined professional orchestra ! ♫♪

I got goosebumps just hearing this! Keep up the great work :)

Our college wind ensemble was lucky enough to play this with a guest conductor - Dr. Harry Begian himself. I played second alto sax that year (tho I also played lead on it in high school). The guy was a character, no doubt, but it was pretty great having the man for whom the piece was written tell us exactly how it should be played. And boy, did he tell us 😁 such a great experience and opportunity. And such a fun piece of music.

I love that i can hear a few mistakes when listening with high quality earbuds...reminds me that everyone makes mistakes.

Sounds perfectly clear, great performance!!

I played this piece for district band this year and I loved it!

Thank you. Big pleasure to listen. Real harmony. I am happy that Armenian theme is in classical music, extends it beyond of only being folklore. Deepest regards to the orchestra and their work!

I LOVE great conductors.... Magnificent!

To Tokyo kosei wind Orchestra with my love - Bravo so nice

Played snare on this at Carnegie Hall with my high school's Wind Ensemble. Favorite piece of all time.

Awesome piece. I played this in an honor band 30+ years ago and it brings back memories. So well-played!!! Bravo

久保さん、西郷さん、須川さんがまだいる頃だ〜！！！！！大好きこの御三家！！！！！

What a joy to watch them perform! They’re all having so much fun, you can tell!

I played this piece in my HS Symphonic Band six years ago as a 3rd clarinet. I remember I was the youngest person in the band, the least experienced, last chair, and being daunted by the presence of thirty-second notes, which I had not seen in music until I received this piece my freshman year. It was a wonderful piece to perform and I hold so many positive memories from that time.

It brings nostalgia from when I was in Band and played this.

i remember playing this at 15 for my wind symphony. 1st part clarinet, i miss it

うますぎます！

This is fun to play. Alfred Reed is one of my favorites :)

Excellent performance by a fantastic ensemble and inspirational conductor.

Never a dull moment. Thank you maestro Reed!

なんて豊かで、音楽を奏でることの喜びを感じる演奏…😭 とくに宮村和宏さんのオーボエソロが大好きです！！！

ソロパートがみんな良すぎて泣けるやないか

高校の定期演奏会あれからもうすぐ40年経過… リードの曲はホルンを目立たせてくれる最高🎵

Absolutely *love* this piece! This and Armenian II! I got to play the latter as a freshman and the former as a senior. Alfred Reed was (and is) one of my favorite composers for wind ensemble.

ストリングベース4本編成で低音の厚みがよりシンフォニックに。素晴らしい。

Thanks so much. Great music :)

Beautiful performance - bravo!

I cry and am filled with happiness every time :}

Wonderful!!

played this number in the mid eighty's. Great composition and what I like it specially: the most virtuose sounding passages aren't difficult at all (at least for Tenor Saxophone). The fingering chosen by the composer makes it sound very difficult while in fact it isn't so.

Very nice. Thank you very much: my Armenian melodies sound very nice by Tokyo Kosei.

Wow! Pretty fantastic!! We played this in college and those clarinet runs at 9:25 still give me cold sweats! LOL! Such a great piece! This group plays it nearly flawlessly! And they make it look easy!!

I really like that they show each instrument being played loudest kinda gives credit to each player👍
