Thank God it was more euphonium and trombone than tuba. Bari sax echoing the tuba is criminal.

@@jetsettech8804 how so?

@@tritl6571 you have the tenor sax sometimes echoing the alto sax and French horns (which completely negates the purpose of a tenor sax if it's just gonna play the same part as alto) but they also echo trombones as well at times. The bari sax is such a capable instrument yet during marching its relegated to playing a part that simply is a downbeat on the tempo. Bari can do runs with the lighter woodwinds and has the range of a euphonium. Why should it be stuck playing quarter notes?

@@jetsettech8804 yeah there’s a revised version of the piece where the 2nd movement melody is removed from the bari sax but the tenor sax doesn’t have a low a key which makes the line sound worse without the bari. I have always liked bari with the lower melodic line more and it has more range to play higher or lower if needed

i thought i was the onluy one who noticed!!

Yeah march is for sure the best, I personally think Intermezzo is the worst out of the three (but still good) just because of how repetitive it is.

I used it because it’s in the Creative Commons but I guess KZfaq doesn’t really care about that since I still got random companies claiming these recordings.

And when euphoniums aren’t compensating, Gustav has high standards

@Elijah Valdivia That part is for the Contrabass Clarinet

Rickey Jennings it’s for both

@nyancs Yes, but when the notes go below bass sax range, contra plays it. The score also indicates when each one plays

Rickey Jennings yea nice
