I didn’t have an issue with his playing. It was that the high winds were not backing off and was overpowering him. They weren’t using the pyramid of sound dynamics and that impeded the quality of the performance.

Every parent everywhere cringes when that happens because they've probably been there. This happens once in a great while at our church too. We just laugh and remind each other (and the parents) how much we love kids. Of course, we're not there to have a concert where there should probably be some etiquette practiced for the sake of other listeners. ;-)

Probably one of the best recorings ever made of the Suite. Love it. Trombones rule (as always) and the solo trumet is just great,

Wonderful performance! Excellent hammer in the Blacksmith song - a tad brighter than usual. Also, the Blacksmith song wasn't taken at a ridiculously fast tempo (which makes total nonsense out of the melody). Good percussion that enhanced everything else. This is my absolutely favorite wind ensemble work of any.

Adam Lubliner The last movement is common between Second Suite in F and St. Paul’s suite. Original instrumentation refers to the ensemble size and composition; the instrumentation of the ensemble in this video is accurate to the original instrumentation. Most of the time, this piece is performed by a larger band with different instrumentation.

I believe the "Fantasia on the Dargason" was adapted from the St. Paul's Suite. The original instrumentation refers to the number of people that Holst envisioned on each part, and with some instruments not being written in, I think.

This band has a sound that is on a par if not better than the Eastman Symphonic Wind Band conducted by the great Frederick Fennel.

Stellar performance! One issue that I noticed that was somewhat disturbing is the size of the ensemble; being a huge Holst fan, I just watched the performance of Holst's First Suite in Eb by the UMich Symphony Band from 2 years ago. The size of the ensemble was HUGE! One stark contrast was the size of the sax section. 2017: 4 altos, 2 tenors, baritone and a bass. 2019: 1 alto, 1 tenor. I know that college enrollment is on the decline due to tuition repayment concerns, but this fact makes my heart hurt. #prayingformusiced

@BruinPhD2009

Holst wrote both suites for size of British regimental bands at the time, approximately 28-30 musicians. From a purely musical standpoint, I prefer performances with smaller forces because you get what a master of orchestration and color he was. At the same time, these pieces are so important to the history of wind music that I want as many people to experience playing them as possible. I hope to see/hear many more performances of these works in the future. And yes, of all places, Michigan is not hurting for students.

The principal flute in my city's philharmonic does, too. So what? She's a professional, these were university students.

1st movt. HATE the C trumpet over-balance-FAR too bright and dominant in sound. Baritone over-sold the solo both times 2nd movt.-too rubato and slow for my taste. Again, mellowness of the Bb cornet is missing. The atmosphere of this movt. Lacked mood. 3rd- again, C trumpet inappropriate-anvil sounded like an alto triangle!! It may be the small wind ensemble choice, but the whole texture of the suite is thin and transparent, exposed most egregiously by the entrance of the trumpets in the 4th movt. Shrill and intrusive rather than rich and melllow.
