Ok, THIS is the piece where you need 14 clarinets, because they never stop playing....no rests, and you are just dying by the end!

As an Englishman who now lives in the United states I thank you Marines, I'm not a music expert, but it sounds wonderful to me, a lovely tribute!

The balance is great! I am hearing parts I have not heard in other recordings. Sounds like an organ 7:45

Nice tempo. I always believe that it was written for people to walk and not to jog in Westminster Abbey.

It was played prior to the Coronation of King George VI and was selected to be used for the entrance of the Queen Mary, wife of the previous King (George V).

The version of this to hear is the one with Frederick Fennell conducting the Tokyo Wind orchestra.

So, this one is a bit of a waste of time, then? I tend to agree.

An inspirational-if somewhat ironic-performance. ❤

My high school band always plays this after Pomp and Circumstance at our graduation ceremonys. I graduate this year and for this to be uploaded just now is such a cool coincidence.

@MarkZickefoose Жыл бұрын

Well, it was written for the coronation of King George VI, so I think posting it the day of King Charles III's coronation is no coincidence.

I played this in high school band in 1970. Lots of high C's in the trombone part; very difficult. Of course, the Marine Band plays it flawlessly.

The timpani part alternates between wooden and felt sticks. At one point, you have to switch very quickly.

Such a fine performance! I’ve heard this piece butchered so many times by immature bands wanting to program this epic Walton selection. A stately and restrained tempo adds to the grand nature of this performance. Understated conducting was outstanding to see and I am very impressed with the collective ensemble pitch. Thank you!

Yes!! First it's nice to see a younger conductor that keeps it clean, simple and basic and doesn't try to cue every note in the piece. Secondly, this is written as a processional not a feature, the focus is on the person walking down the aisle, so generally the dynamics are ( and should be) somewhat subdued also from a players perspective, "this one is a chop buster" This was a fine dignified and appropriately restrained where needed performance. (From a 71 yr old British born Canadian with over 3 decades of professional military band experience)

Why does the one trombone player sit out so much? How is the section arranged

@8dwms7 Жыл бұрын

There are three trombone parts. The first player, the principal trombone, has an assistant principal. They share the part so neither gets fatigued over the course of the concert. I suspect that is happening in the horn, cornet, tuba and euphonium sections as well.

Why did I not know the end US Marine Corps band dressed in unifoms that seem like British military band uniforms? That and they all seem a bit too young. Either way, love me some Walton.

Field musics often wore the opposite color of their unit to be easily identified. Today, you can find British military musicians in blue for the same reason.

Is the guy conducting a real Mohichan? That is the hair style of the Mohichan Indians right?

Sounds pretty good, has all the technical parts done to the small details. Just felt that it needs more focus on the artistic flair to make it even better, like as if I'm actually really watching a Coronation of a King. Hopefully that can be taken into account in future performances👍

maybe it was the location but the over all sound of the band just doesn't match the sound presented from the Marine Bands rehearsal hall. Also the band doesn't have the precision and dynamics that come from the rehearsal hall with the Colonel conducting. I ill admit however that the band with Lt. Lin conducting are getting to know each other better with more positive results. I also note the gentleman playing Eb Soprano clarinet balances and stays in tune with the flutes and balances much better than the lady we see from time to time.

Thank you. I am sorry to say this, but I really didn't feel a true cohesiveness this band is capable of. I felt the entries were not together as they should be. Now, perhaps, it was the recording environment to some extent. It could have been done better. - Sorry. Ed Swanzey

Sounds good, but much too slow !! he is unfortunately not conducting, just keeping time 😕

Sorry, that was a lack luster performance. All the right notes were played, but little music was heard!

@paulblichmann2791 Жыл бұрын

WHY ARE WE STILL PLAYING THIS isnt there a new coronation march? Surely King Chuckie Trey commissioned a new one?? Or was it modernized with bass drones, robot fart noises, and mumble rap.

Played this in high school marching band (my sophomore year, I believe) - fairly certain that this was chosen because our assistant band director knew that the 27th Lancers drum & bugle corps from Revere MA played it, and wanted to move our band in the direction of corps-style shows ... /s/ USMC (Retired) and East Brunswick (NJ) HS '81
