You all sound so beautiful! You can easily hear all the overtones in the group! Great job!
To me, this is the best of all Swearingen's works.
The intro is a little too fast, but it is performed well!
I loved playing this song in Comcert Band, in high school
Speaking as someone that's done some business with the CAF, I've always been reassured when I've had some solid Quebecois on my side.

This is the best I’ve heard this played, I like the faster speed it was played, it adds to the brilliance.
My lips remember this song. #FrenchHorn

Memories 🥹
When I was a boy growing up in rural Newfoundland in the 60s and 70s, our music was considered something to be ashamed of. Some of my generation, including me, reacted very negatively to that attitude. For me to hear an orchestra, and not a local one (!), playing one of our traditional tunes, not as some showcase of quaintness for the tourists but just because they thought it was worth it is pretty powerful, I have to say. All that refusing to be ashamed of our culture seems to have worked.
We read this arrangement just this week and I must say you sound fantastic!
This is beautiful
watching this 50 times so I can nail the euphonium part in my hs band lol
same
Congratulations Greg, You are wonderful!! And Hooray for the Winds. When was this-I was in the band in 2013 and don't believe I heard this.
Percussionists get lost several times in important spots
John Herberman is very talented composer. He creates very beautiful music and he can do it in different genres. It is unbelievable! "Inspired by Monet" (kzread.info/head/OLAK5uy_kCsOrhlqv3M0orMdwBTKPXhPO7yue-xHU), "Piano Dream" (kzread.info/head/OLAK5uy_nFHvidIdgHJoIz_yQH9atgtCdZJQMtIV8), Head in the Clouds and all work he done for Dan Gibson Solitudes: kzread.info/dash/bejne/on93q9Zsn5i7o5M.html. He is one of my favorite composers of all times. It is amazing how he explains music: he use term "colors" trying to explain how he creates music. So he really a music painter.
I played this in 8th grade at our Winter Formal Concert on the tuba. Got to the point during rehearsal classes that I could play it by memory. This was in 2005 though. Been out of band so long now, not even sure if I could play a simple B flat scale anymore.

プロの演奏があったの知りませんでした。 1973年高1の自由曲でした。
もしかして弘前南ですか？
@@kameralna 様 弘前南がこの曲を取り上げたのは、1974年です。 記録上、それより前の演奏団体は不明です。 弘前南の当時の演奏は、こちらで試聴できます。⇒ kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIit0K5slry0h84.html
@0:36 relatable.
下手っぴ もっと練習と研究して出直しなさい‼︎
I KZread searched 'the fisherman who died in his bed song' and this was the first search result. Not the version of the song that I was looking for (the John Herberman version), but I've played a bit of trombone in symphony and gave this the full signal boosting watch/listen/like/comment treatment. Greetings from USA.
Is this related to Howard Shore? Who was first?
Johann de Meij is related to the books, Howard Shore films obviously. I always prefer Howard Shore

Very daring considering the original! But I am afraid that at times it gets sloppy, messy and impossible to follow (sorry!). Plus I think neophytes deserve to know the name of the instruments used. Marimba and Xylophone on the last movement, clearly Some change of color would have been welcomed. After a while the sound of the small mallet causes fatigue. The last movement Allegro, much better performed
I was a student under Mr.Herberman way back around 1980. His influence on myself and many others remains to this day. I thank God for your role in my musical adventure. Sincerely, Scott Gross
Your piano music always touches my heart. There is much heart and love in it. Thank you. Alice Evans, White Rock, B.C.
This is Newfoundland Rhapsody not the Banks of Newfoundland please correct the headline.
The Banks of Newfoundland is in fact a revision of the Newfoundland Rhapsody.
Over the last 2 days I watched the Peter Jackson movies and I picked up on subtle queues from this piece in the score. Just a few bars here and there showing up in the background music. We played this at State (Texas - ATSSB) when I was either a junior or senior in High school (either 1997 or 1998). Spots around 4:30 and the theme from around 8:00 stuck out to me. 6:00 Trumpet crack...good lord...your supposed to be professionals and this sounds like a typical middle school...
Mr.Schill be like
Just so that you're aware, the photos in this are from Stratford, Ontario. Cable compared this song about Stratford, CT.
what is this? it sure as hell isn't the banks of newfoundland!
It’s a great piece, but it seems like they didn’t tune, and that’s based off of listening to the first 20-30 seconds :/
lindo, excelente, sou do Brasil, Pernambuco
I remember my director being so animated at the part @ 21:40. This guy lol. I was also a passionate band director showing the music’s emotion on my movements and face.
This is the actual composer no?
The douche in the audience at the lower right of your screen nodding off & falling asleep @ 20:52 & again @ 21:00. What’s funny is that the director is almost directing it with his own head-nodding movements @ 20:52 lol
Mr.Cable has mangled the "banks of Newfoundland" as much as confederation has mangled Newfoundland.
And Meij looks like John Cleese!
Sop sax sounded really good IMO.
Our marching band is playing this
I have only played the first movement as a second flute, and I after this long I still have not let go of it as my favourite piece of music. Stinking difficult for my level, but so much fun. After listening to the whole piece in all 5 of its glorious movements, I fall in love with it even more. I would go back to it again to get better at those 32nd note passages and to enjoy it as a live performer. Moving into that maestoso line at the rit always brings chills up my spine. Best part of the piece by far.
I played the first movement as second trombone in high school. I agree, it’s one of my favorite pieces to play and listen to. Absolute genius.
We did this for our fall marching show my senior year in high school (baritone). Very cool to see DeMeij himself conducting! Thanks for sharing!!
We horn players let loose with a loud, raucus "Yeee-Haw!!!" during Turkey In The Straw. Some very good horn licks in the piece.
I was first chair French Horn when I played this in college! We did movements I, II, & V. Such fun to play!
JCHB322 I played horn on this too. I’m sure you heard that French horn crack just about at 0:55
I'm first horn too. my middle/high school band is playing this next semester.
5th chair horn 2004 ATSSB Honor Band, played 3rd part. Also played 2nd and 3rd parts for Virtual Concert Band’s most recent rendition.
the worst percussionists ever :/ wtf at some places they don't enter at tempo
Jordi cid marti completely agree. They also enter at the wrong times and play several wrong notes
Interesting and very well put together video
