I’m playing this song for my parade in marching band I loveee this song so much I love trombones part and I’m playing the trumpet part and the drums

I remember playing this in 7th grade, I had chimes.

I'm a timpani soloist for this song I'm struggling slightly at measure 107 ( 2:41 )

Esta banda toca hermoso ❤ 🎉🥁

Wonderful to hear contemporary composers who can write real music.

My high school band director, a brilliant musician..graduate of St.Olaf and the Vandercook School of Music..repeatedly said during rehearsals " There is nothing like a beautiful melody" and that is exactly why this piece is so compelling !

This is hands down one of the best pieces of music for middle school band students

CTS could write him a catchy counter melody and a zippy fughetta for sure!

Idk how I’m gonna play this fast tbh. Maybe cuz I’m low brass and I’m not used to playing this fast

I play this on the timpani and it is a very fun experience.

I'm playing this song in my high school band right now, I'm tenor sax. Where my saxes at?

I played this in high school band many times in the early 80's and absolutely love this song. I played alto sax. Thanks to my band teacher, Mr. Gilliland for such great music choices over my three years under him.

Damn everyone in the comments loved playing this song. Personally it’s the kinda throwaway piece of our band it we all hate it lol.

playing trombone 1 for this and the last 2 bars of this is honestly one of the most beautiful things ive ever played

1:51 That sudden key change... pure love.

nah measure 163 for trumpets is complete madness 😂💀 3:26

같은 곡의 연주를 많이 들어보았지만 이 음원이 최고입니다~ 지역 오케스트라에서 오보에를 연주하고 있는데 솔로부분은 연주하면서도 많은 생각이 들게 하는 멋진 곡입니다~ 업로드 해 주셔서 감사합니다.

First chair trombone, Washington Irving Intermediate, Springfield, VA 7th & 8th grade, 1984/85. Played a Smith piece for Festival each year. Graded on a scale of 3 to 1, 1 being the best. We got straight 1's every festival playing Grade 5/6 music (what most HS play). It's been almost 40 years and I can still hum every part. Thank you Mr. Ben Pasquale. You were an AMAZING band teacher.

hey everyone! i'm playing flute on this piece at my next concert this year. my airstream is literally dying every time and i have to breathe a ton more than i usually do (high Gs...a lot of em) lol. but it's really pretty and so worth it!

I’ve been a percussionist since sixth grade and I’m currently in my sophomore year of high school and I kinda wanted to try tuba and this was the first piece I get to play on tuba!

The song is amazing already and then the sax solo hits like a truck. So good

My high school band played this in the 90s.

Played this in high school as first chair clarinet. Such a fun piece!

I just took this video at a band festival. They’re the Blackhawk Marching Band playing to “Ghost Busters.” czcams.com/video/YgYrZqEEX8g/video.htmlsi=0goh2Sg5A_ZAuObs

Played this in my wind ensemble in 10th grade for fall prism in ocoee high school it was honestly pretty hard since I played the tuba but it was unique 😊

A great piece.

So glad I was able to play this freshman year. I had a 2nd trombone piece and it was fun and amazing

I’m playing this at carnigie hall

My band is really small (15 players total, we're still trying to build the program back up after the previous director left) so when we played this I was the only 1st trumpet and with that part being such a chop blower it was a lot of pressure but omg... we still got gold @ competition even with our small composition, I'm so proud of our band :D

This entire piece used to be available here on youtube. Wish I could find it again. Its a mighty work!

first time hearing this was in a theater, needless to say i gave me chills

I played French horn in this song💀

I picture a Viking who whitnesed his village die to bad Vikings and is traveling in the cold snowy mountains seeking revenge 😢 And in the middle he finds other Vikings and they team up to defeat the bad people and end in victory

I got to bow the gong when we played this song for our winter concert. It still gives me goosebumps.

This song is moving. Its so hard to make it sound pretty and get the shaping and phrasing just right

anyone else doing this in high school concert band

1:52 (ignore this is for my playing test)

at 4:30, how the chord resolves is strikingly satisfying

This song always gives me the chills, love it so much

I am an alto player in my high school band but I am playing tenor for this song. We have festival coming up and unfortunately I tear up every time I play or hear it. Such a beautiful song.

I played 2nd trumpets in this music

Ik speel de 3de klarinet stem en heb echt het idee dat ik het orkest kan sturen met de mooie bas lijn die deze compositie heeft.

Soli 1 - 1:25 Solo 1 - 2:30 Soli 2 - 2:55 Solo 2 - 3:23

this is straight gas 🔥🔥🔥
