Played this with my HS wind ensemble last year. Frank Ticheli actually did a workshop with us last semester on this piece. You could tell he really loves what he does.

We played this at BoA in 1999. Our first-chair clarinet nailed that solo every single day in rehearsal, but, sure enough, he squeaked on one of the bends in the performance. I was a 3rd clarinet at the time, if I recall, and everyone in the entire section practiced that damn solo and never could quite get it. It's a bear. Beautiful bass clarinet on this performance, btw. Great job overall.

That clarinet solo is a bitch to play! I had to play it at a concert and had the same thing happen to me. Nailed it in rehearsal, but at the concert I cracked the high G and it didn't go well after that. I was kicking myself afterwards!

I've got to say, it was a joy playing this piece. Since this song has a lot of weird off beats and tricky rhythms, it was a blast to play this song as a percussionist! (I played the cowbell, slapstick, bass drum, castanets, suspended cymbal, and ride cymbal, so I was busy!) And it was also great running around the stage like a maniac! XD

I had the privilege of meeting and playing with Ticheli in person recently. Hes a fantastic composer and it was an incredible experience to play one of his own pieces with him, and hearing the theories and intentions behind the compositions. Hes a very animated person, great to be around! Thanks for the upload!

We played an arrangement of this as part of our marching band show my junior year of high school it was so beautiful. His compositions allow each section to shine in the most magical ways. I’m so thankful my directors picked so many Ticheli pieces for us to perform they were so much fun to play and absolutely genius.

So bad, we missed an entire measure in the section after the bass clarinet solo, and her clarinet broke in the 30 seconds leading up to the concert, and if was somehow fixed well enough, but we did very well in the end part, or as I called it, the only part where playing french horn is fun in the entire song, I practiced rips so much for it, and it was a good ending. But the most dramatic part was ruined, so that's too bad.

So mad. Didn't have the instrumentation for it last year so I we didn't do this piece. Would've been so fun. (Id have the clarinet solo ugh). But we played Italian in Algiers instead and I got some of the oboe parts. Was still fun I got my moment. But still this would've been fun.

I like his conducting style a bit better than his composing. Love how he cues people. Like he's handing it to them. Composers for college band music always seem to be trying to write music so the band can show how awesome they are. 'Yeah, we can play any random crap you throw at us...' Trouble is random crap isn't all that musical. This one wasn't so bad though. Kinda Gershwin-esque.
@phthartic7 жыл бұрын
Composer Guy Yeah, I'm sure if I had to play it I'd appreciate it more. It's like "Mountains Rising Nowhere." I hated it when I was playing my own (euphonium) part, but as utility percussion I liked it a lot. Another poster made the point that when you make a mistake on this sort of piece no one can tell. That's what I mean about random crap. I prefer music where the listener can tell when you make a mistake. Shostakovich, Tschaikovsky, Holst, Grainger, Rossini. Those guys aren't out to prove how well the band can read music, they're out to make good music that might be hard to play. Or not.
