I love that bass saxophone sound.

This was incredible! I remember playing this and Second Suite in F in high school. Love Gustav Holst.

I played First Suite in my high school honor band my sophomore year and at my first symphonic winds concert two months ago. In fact, after the last note of Chaconne, the conductor's baton flew to the French horns. 😂😂😂 I also played Second Suite in my senior year for pre-festival and festival.

i would have to argue this is even better payed than north texas. The sound is very balanced.

One of the best interpretations of the intermezzo I have heard so far!

10:09 I love this gesture by Dr. Haithcock! That’s just plain artistry at its best!

Gustav Holst was my fellow Anglican Churchman.

Great music, there's something really special in symphonic bands and the music they have in their repertories ^^

NOW THAT'S MY KIND OF CONDUCTOR!!!!! HE IS CONDUCTING THE BAND!!!!! HE NEEDS NO SCORE!!!!!

What a great piece! I played this in high school band and I can still remember its tune.

You can really hear that bass sax in Intermezzo

The Bass trombone part is fantastic in this

We just started playing this masterpiece for our middle school (yes middle school) symphonic band. It is very challenging, but we still have time before our performance in June I love this piece!

I too remember this from high school band. What an overall fine piece of REAL music. 🎷📯🎺

The horn solo at 2:05 is so pretty

Man, that is such an amazing snare sound!

Sounds amazing

A Bass Sax!

Nice performance, and what an amazing room!

The woodwinds are great!

We played this my first year of college and all I remember was how much I hated 8:10 - 8:20. I was the only euphonium and we didn't have any horns so I was all alone playing notes that I had never played until then. That Bb was my worst nightmare for the entire semester.

Trombones at 4:21 !!! Yes!!! 👌👌

Probably my favorite moment in any piece ever

I loved playing this piece! I love the low brass, low woodwinds. It was pretty tough piece for your lower instruments and i always loved a good challenge. :)

Muy Bueno exelente,..!!

Oh, that's how its played...Michigan excellence as usual...GO BLUE :-)

Preciosa😍👏🏼

Definitely a good way to keep that many clarinet players busy and out of trouble at the same time.

I finished reading the comments right as the song ended Edit: it didn't take me 11 minutes to read them I just started reading when there were 3 minutes left

👏🏼👏🏼

Bass sax is so cool, but it's really unbalances the bass section without 2 bass clarinets and a contrabass

I am not watching this for homework

The part is actually written for bass sax!

why are they all playing C trumpets? I get the "symphonic" nature of the ensemble, but ffs these parts are written for Bb trumpets and cornets.

@TheNameIsGamestar

Simply for timbre reasons. Not completely noticeable to the untrained ear but the C trumpet does provide a bit of a richer color than a Bb trumpet

👏

So amazing... also the trumpets aren't powering over the entire band this time.

Could this group NOT start together?? Sheesh

Go Blue!

Assuming y’all are fellow percussionists, is it just me or does anyone else think the crash cymbals sound a little dull?? Idk but i think it should be a little brighter and maybe ring a little linger in my opinion. No hate on the player just the cymbals lol

🌈💐💙💚💜💛🌹❤️🌈

Mr. Haithcock should know better than to allow C trumpets for this piece. It's not the characteristic sound Holst wanted. Otherwise, a fantastic performance.

@@zackwoods5077 In the 1948 edition yes, however Holst's manuscript called for 2 cornets, 2 B-flat trumets, and 2 E-flat trumpets.

Awesome band...tho grimaced a bit to hear the timid horns consistently lagging behind middle of first movement, man up!

The camera shutter sounds in the intermezzo made me gaslight myself

Beautiful tone, but the first mvt is a little too fast for me. Even the clarinets rush in places.

A very fine performance, but cornet parts should be played on cornet.

Moments where players aren't together in tempo

This was pretty good. Sections were balanced, there were a couple of jumped notes. I give kudos to the students who did their best. Was the director/conductor having a bad day? Phoning it in doesn’t look good.

Reminds me of Karajan, in a not so positive way. Mike is conducting the band inside his head. Not sure the band in front of him is on the same page.

Sheri Schmidt, I think the video sync is not totally accurate. You can see the video gradually gets ahead of the audio (check trumpet fingerings and triangle hits, etc), and that may explain why his conducting seems a little “off”

@drbracken73

5 жыл бұрын

All of our videos are meticulously synched down to the sample and exact measurements from camera to conductor position to account for audio time delays. Haithcock very frequently leads the ensemble (conducts with gestures just ahead of the band by fractions of a second), which is very common for conductors to do. He leads without getting in the way of the ensemble.

Ugh, the lyric part of the March sounds like Concerto for Bass Saxophone and wind band.

C trumpets are too bright for this work and the bass sax is downright intrusive. Would also prefer a much looser head on the bass drum as this one is, again, too bright and shallow. But that bass sax was hardly ever in balance!!
