Yeah my high school actually played this exact song as well as some others like this. It was a very lucky school. One of the best bands in our region. My favorite ensemble that I participated in was called scuttledbutt by Jim Casella. That or a piece our band director arranged using star wars music. Cantina band, with Jaba palace theme, and something else I think all mixed together.

Man these kids are absolutely phenomenal. They approach this piece with such sensitivity yet, they exude incredible confidence at the same time. I can even almost feel how it radiates from them even though I'm just watching this on my crappy phone. And at 2:40, if you listen very closely you can just barely hear the girl on the vibraphone whispering the counts to her rests to herself. Like I said you can JUST barely make it out but then if you look very carefully you can barely see her lips moving. so I think shes saying something along the lines of "2, 3 , 4, 5, 6" which makes sense, since I'm pretty sure the piece is in 6/8. It actually adds a very chilling and almost haunting effect. But, without a doubt, these kids are going places and will probably be the musicians that we read about one day, if not already.

Definitely achievable for more advanced high school music students. You can hide slight rhythmic mistakes in those more atmospheric sections if needed. And it's mainly two mallet playing at a walking tempo. Still, they're clearly dedicated. Quite a good performance. If you want incredibly complicated minimalist pieces for percussion ensemble, i recommend the works of Steve Reich.

I actually disagree, as you can read in my earlier post. I really do feel passion and confidence from them. They move very naturally from instrument to instrument and their calm, relaxed demeanor is appropriate for the tone of the piece. I apologize if my disagreement offends you, I really just wanted to point out that its interesting how we're both watching the exact same thing but we each get a different vibe from it. 😊

Very nicely played; however, you're generation of teachers and students are great memorize-rs which seems to render a limit on reading skills. I see and hear your final product, but this is most suspicious on how long it took to prepare this piece.
@noahgormanmusic18435 жыл бұрын
As a current music education student (percussion focus), I can say that memorization is not generally encouraged until the concert nears. Especially on a piece like this, it would particularly complicate things to put a stand...well, anywhere other than for player 6, so players opt to memorize for the purpose of keeping the area clear and to lessen the possibility of losing their spot mid-performance.

Allow me to introduce you to a very shocking concept: marching bands. All the music, movements, and placements must be memorized. And there's often less time for the percussion to memorize their music than the other sections
@jacobhanekamp2534 Жыл бұрын
I study Percussion in a Conservatory in the Midwest. One thing I've noticed is often times, by the time a concert of any sorts comes around, I've gotten to the point that the music is sort of there just to keep me on track. Like it acts more as a form chart to simply tell me where I am rather than telling me to hit this note. For a piece like this, memorization is necessary, due to the staging aspect of the piece.
