Hey Dustin, my great Grandmother came from the Ammerländerhof greater farm from North-west Germany near Oldenburg....great that you even remember your ancestors in that way ! Sending you a familiar hello!
My trumpet teacher and brass section conductor passed away today, and this is the last composition we played together in our brass band. I cry and am so sad when listening to this. May he rest in peace...
STORY TIME: i played euphonium for this for festival my senior year. i was the only euph in our band and every time we played it my director asked for more of me and every time i felt like i was gonna pass out. anyways so we played festival which was hosted at our school and we did amazing and the student teacher that had been working with us during marching season came up to me as we were packing up and said "damn krystal" in like the ooh-damn-sis-pop-off kind of tone and that's the greatest compliment i've ever received. but yeah that was the last ballad i've ever played because we went on spring break and never went back to school because of corona. i never got my senior year spring concert, so that makes festival even more special to me. i didn't know it would be my last high school performance, but i played like it was my last performance ever because of my director pushing me. if there's a takeaway from this long and stupid story, it's to always play like it's your last performance. i suspect that most of the people here are band kids, so please. don't take any moment for granted, because it could be stripped away from you in a second. but yeah anyways just listening to this song makes me feel out of breath and i get flashbacks to not being allowed to breathe because i was the only euph ayeeee 👉😎👉
When the trumpets and flutes come in, the sound is so difficult to describe, I haven't heard anyone play it right including myself, besides from this recording of course
This almost made me cry in band. It was the first day and we were reading through it and I have 30 measures of rest in the beginning and even though we had just begun it I almost cried
Chord at the end with lows always gives me chills I remember playing this piece in high school as euphonium. I relive it every time I listen. Beautiful
I am in 9th grade and hearing this song makes me remember all the good memories I had at my band in middle school. This song is relaxing and sad at the same time. I played Clarinet 1! I miss middle school but yk life continues... 🙂😭
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.
All The Trash flute is very painful trust me. the high note are not that high bu enough to make your lips burn for an hour. i play flute but the real instrument stuggle is trombone.
Joseph Stalin The trumpet part isn’t hard tho. The highest note we play is an A and it only shows up on two occasions. Just keep your breath intake in kind
I am in 8th grade and I played second trumpet in this in October. the notes are fairly easy, but in order to play the song well, your musical phrasing and musicality in general has to be very well done. When ever I listen to this it makes me miss that concert a lot and it makes me feel good about being in the band I'm in. Very intense song...
My father is grandson to a woman from Ammerländer hof huge farming ground in Goldersted near Oldenburg city. He was playing the trumpet & fanfare at early age and as leading director of the boys corps Fanfare Youth brass instruments group up onto the Loreley Rock above the river Rhine. He had inhaled that rising above all with music even after he as nearly to death at the early age of 21 at Stalingrad and music always was the refuge of his heart & soul. Taught by all generations by mothers & grandmothers my Dear Mia Rogers & friends!
enderboss SR71 I agree that As are easy, but I’m not sure about that double G 🤨 I could see you doing it, but I’m doubting that register sounds any good
We played this for a member of our band that we lost to a car accident. This song holds a lot of meaning to me. So yes, our band cries a lot everytime this is played🥺
No kidding... at concert I was glad this piece was the second we played because it gave me one piece to warm up without being at the end with my lips already blown out
This is the one piece I vividly remember playing is HS concert band. I played tenor sax, and having the main melody in the opening section with all the countermelodies throughout the piece made this very memorable. Tone was everything.
@@nicksoulos5139 ME TOO MAN! I was looking forward to that concert so much. I loved every song my band was playing. We were also going to play a song called winterwinds, which was absolute madness but we were going to do so good... ; - ;
I got the play the Tuba part on Bari Sax and i cried as well. Such a beautiful song. The Euphonium and French Horn call and response is just incredible, so emotional.
Played this music my junior year of High School for All-County Band and it has so much emotion I cried and I keep listening to it to this day, Speaking as a Tuba Player.
Playing this in my high school concert band, as 3rd chair Tenor Sax (Probably should have been 2nd, but as a tenor it's just a number) and the tenor melody is amazing
It is easy to play but a challenge to transmit the right emotions. You have to put all your heart and feelings in it. Even before my part on the flute begins I must concentrate to start crying...
I’ve been playing trumpet since 6th grade and I’m going into 10th and out of the years of playing this song definitely takes the top it just has so much emotion.
My dear friend lost most of her squadron in a roadside bombing, she plays flute and was hired to play this. The beginning, the minor key, the conductor told the band to think of someone they lost and they with they could say goodbye to. She told me that after that she played this with them in her heart. The major section reminds her that they're all in a better place now.
I play the Tuba/String bass part on this song in my Violin bass and while very simple, it lets me enjoy and listen to the beautiful melody everyone´s playing at the orchestra. It´s a very emotional song and easy to put your heart into the nuances of your playing.
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 know that for some people, the high G in particular is quite easy to hit, myself included, but for some the note is well out of their range. So as a fellow flutist, we can encourage them and give them advice on how to improve.
my band teacher just made all the flutes in my class play the oboe part, same notes and all but an octave lower. it makes us sound so much better because we were kinda really loud when we played the high notes hahah
I wouldn't have done that, at least not with every player. The high notes are important to the musical texture. The *real* challenge is keeping flutes in tune when playing that high
Just played Ammerland at my last high school band concert. It was our only concert at all this year because of covid stuff. Played first trumpet on this bad boy 🥺🥺
Great memories of this piece. Played it in my high school symphonic band as a backup piece for a concert. One day our band director did an exercise where he told us, 3 tubas, that we were responsible for setting the dynamic levels during the piece. Yeah yeah, that is what you are supposed to do anyways, but he told us to bring the dynamics up a few notches and that everyone else would have to match our sound and intensity. Lots of fun adjusting piano to forte and, if you can imagine, the fortissimo up a few steps.
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
We played this for our Symphonic Band II concert today. This peace really is beautiful. I'mma mention that I'a a 1st Alto Sax cuz everyone in the comments is mentioning their instruments :P
This is an amazing and beautiful piece indeed. My school's wind ensemble is playing this price for our next concert. I play the euphonium and love this piece.
My great Grandmother is from Ammerlanderhof huge farming land & also ith at those days a Gasthaus...as the people on a journey always loved to eat and sleep well! This was near the town and registration district.....of Goldersted near OLDENBURG ! She moved down for marriage into Darmstadt- Eberstadt Hessia, At the foothills of the real Frankenstein Castel.....from long long time ago! She had 9 children. OF whom 6 survived the threat of childhood. My Great Uncle Paul died at the early age of 31 due to the after-mass of WW I in 1923 just three weeks after he had become godfather to my father.....who nearly died in Stalingrad WW II. And yes it is that Ammerland.... the eternal reality of Motherland without war, and never dying of any soul.... as as it was noted down by my father I just read yesterday, This lady of Ammerland my great grandmother was a very kind woman, a silent most educated woman leading her children into the 20 st century of finest thoughts , behaviour and acting as humanitarian well set in all behaviour beings of the eternal Ammerland . When I am listening to that composition I just am able to sense the full soul & heart intention of her and my grandfather, my aunties & uncle & my fathers intention living up to that glorious state in Reality of Ammerland! THANK you for composing this and broadcasting it for the many!
How does this piece have so much emotion in it? it's so crazy.
Braidyn Kelley ikr it touches your heart when u actually concentrate
@@iamme25yago💀💀💀
My last name is Ammerman and this song is about the land my ancestors came from in northwestern Germany. Pretty cool!
Hey Dustin, my great Grandmother came from the Ammerländerhof greater farm from North-west Germany near Oldenburg....great that you even remember your ancestors in that way ! Sending you a familiar hello!
My trumpet teacher and brass section conductor passed away today, and this is the last composition we played together in our brass band. I cry and am so sad when listening to this. May he rest in peace...

STORY TIME:
i played euphonium for this for festival my senior year. i was the only euph in our band and every time we played it my director asked for more of me and every time i felt like i was gonna pass out. anyways so we played festival which was hosted at our school and we did amazing and the student teacher that had been working with us during marching season came up to me as we were packing up and said "damn krystal" in like the ooh-damn-sis-pop-off kind of tone and that's the greatest compliment i've ever received. but yeah that was the last ballad i've ever played because we went on spring break and never went back to school because of corona. i never got my senior year spring concert, so that makes festival even more special to me. i didn't know it would be my last high school performance, but i played like it was my last performance ever because of my director pushing me. if there's a takeaway from this long and stupid story, it's to always play like it's your last performance. i suspect that most of the people here are band kids, so please. don't take any moment for granted, because it could be stripped away from you in a second.
but yeah anyways just listening to this song makes me feel out of breath and i get flashbacks to not being allowed to breathe because i was the only euph ayeeee 👉😎👉
Played the euphonium on this song. I think i may have cried a little.
We just start playing it and I play euphonium I love this song
Same
Well I play Euphonium (Obvisouly) nut I never played it, but it sounds beautiful. Would love the sheet music for euph if you still have it?
I played it with a trombone I also think I cried a bit
Destroys the lips
playing this in the band almost made me tear 💕
Adiarey8 I am playing it my concert assessment band and it is such a beautiful song
Spellcaster86 what are the songs for the alumni portion? It's your favorite French horn player btw lol
Spellcaster86 It's Greg lol, I told you it's your favorite French horn player😂😀
i like the end for trombone
It made me cry while playing and this makes me wish we played songs twice in a row.
When the trumpets and flutes come in, the sound is so difficult to describe, I haven't heard anyone play it right including myself, besides from this recording of course
Its enough to make a grown man cry
And that’s ok
Trombone player, handed the euphonium part on first play through. What a gorgeous piece.
14 years ago! Amazing! Forever!
Tenor and Alto parts together sound incredible, and this song is gorgeous. Playing it in our next concert
Dillon Sellers amazing
The blend of musicality between saxes is amazing here.
This almost made me cry in band. It was the first day and we were reading through it and I have 30 measures of rest in the beginning and even though we had just begun it I almost cried
Me too 😭
Must play tuba or a low woodwind
@@kalebjames22 bro what are you on tubas play the entirety of the piece so do low reeds
I also had 30 rested measures but it's because I'm playing the Glockenspiel... it's beautiful to play that little thing and give the song a jingle
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever encountered as a flute player!
Aye preach man, playing this for festival and oh my days its an amazing feeling when playing at measure thirty
Chord at the end with lows always gives me chills
I remember playing this piece in high school as euphonium. I relive it every time I listen. Beautiful
i litterally cried a little playing this
I could never remember when to breathe when I was playing Bass Clarinet. Like I’d get so lost in the music and then I’d almost pass out.
its pretty easy haha, im a four year player but I'm really stupid lolz
I played clarinet in high school, and we also got to play this masterpiece one time. But of course we had to stagger breathe.
This song touches my heart so much I can't stop listening!!!
I am in 9th grade and hearing this song makes me remember all the good memories I had at my band in middle school. This song is relaxing and sad at the same time. I played Clarinet 1! I miss middle school but yk life continues... 🙂😭
I so loved this piece..I enjoyed it. It was so AMAZINGLAND.
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.
After playing the flute part... my face really hurts with all those high notes
Bitch please! Try the trumpet part. I can assure you your lips will be swollen by the end of it.
lol this doesn't even have that much of high notes, if you really wanna hurt your face try playing lead trumpet in a jazz 1
All The Trash flute is very painful trust me. the high note are not that high bu enough to make your lips burn for an hour. i play flute but the real instrument stuggle is trombone.
Joseph Stalin
The trumpet part isn’t hard tho. The highest note we play is an A and it only shows up on two occasions. Just keep your breath intake in kind
I have a sister who can relate to you

1st trumpet need 2 hit higher note high 'A' ,my band really work hard on this.........I play 1st Horn
Bruh I’m a freshman and I can hit a double g an A isn’t even hard

I played this song on Bass clarinet (the 2nd to largest one) my first year I was in band. Such a gorgeous song!
The C Major part is my favorite part, and I did this song for one of my previous concerts.
Just finished playing this in band. The trumpet part is a face melter
No kidding... at concert I was glad this piece was the second we played because it gave me one piece to warm up without being at the end with my lips already blown out
I played the suspended cymbal part. As a middle schooler in 8th grade this was my favorite song
This is the one piece I vividly remember playing is HS concert band. I played tenor sax, and having the main melody in the opening section with all the countermelodies throughout the piece made this very memorable. Tone was everything.
The clarinet part was very breathtaking (literally) but I loved this piece. I'm German-American so I felt really moved. :')
+DreamPool I played this song in band, I play clarinet
Shannon Spran "breathtaking (literally)"
Shannon Spran i have the euphonium part which doubles the clarinets in the lower octave
Wow! Sounds cool man :) mj
Ayyy, clarinet squad! I found this piece because my band's playing it, too!
This will be the finale song I play with my middle school band in the spring...Good memories.
Bruh I didn’t get to play it because of covid. 😭
@@nicksoulos5139 ME TOO MAN! I was looking forward to that concert so much. I loved every song my band was playing. We were also going to play a song called winterwinds, which was absolute madness but we were going to do so good... ; - ;
I played clarinet in high school in Symphonic Band.. this was my FAVORITE song ❤❤❤
We played this piece for All Regional. I was on euphonium. Man I cried while performing this piece
i was tearing up playing this....
I still remember this peace from mu granddaughters rehearsal. That was nine years ago. I will never forget this masterful, emotional piece.
1:51 That sudden key change... pure love.
I got to play the Euphonium part on Tenor Sax in Symphonic band. I cried
I got the play the Tuba part on Bari Sax and i cried as well. Such a beautiful song. The Euphonium and French Horn call and response is just incredible, so emotional.
Saxophone Will I play tenor sax and I love my part
I'm paying this with my band... 1st horn!! :-D amazing

adhara99 same its fucking amazing
Same at all State
Same
Same here! It's one of my favorite piece!
Played this music my junior year of High School for All-County Band and it has so much emotion I cried and I keep listening to it to this day, Speaking as a Tuba Player.
This song makes me miss high school 😭😭 like legit slide show would play in my head of all the good times I had 😭😂💜🎶
Playing this in my high school concert band, as 3rd chair Tenor Sax (Probably should have been 2nd, but as a tenor it's just a number) and the tenor melody is amazing
One of my favorite pieces we played in band, euphonium solo all the way!

Played the euphonium part at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Hearing it makes me cry and want to go back to my cabin:(
My final song I played with my band...
played this song for honor band!! Absolutely beautiful and capturing....
I played the last 5 nptes with the saxo, i was alone, with the band listenong to me, it was, magic
It is easy to play but a challenge to transmit the right emotions. You have to put all your heart and feelings in it. Even before my part on the flute begins I must concentrate to start crying...
It is very hard to make me cry and this song almost made me cry...
I played 1st clarinet, this song is so beautiful!
alto sax anyone (I also have to play the French horn part )
Yes alto all the way
don’t be dissing us horns
@@thexfakteryt9265 Alto and Tenor sax that's really where it's at.
Yes
🙋🏾♂️
Gonna play this in may for my spring concert. This songs sounds very beautiful and is slow and steady
I’ve been playing trumpet since 6th grade and I’m going into 10th and out of the years of playing this song definitely takes the top it just has so much emotion.
I play first chair clarinet for my high school concert band, marching band season is coming to a end but I can not wait to play this piece of music
I play 1st French horn for this....favorite song my band has ever done...
You ain't about that first horn life
First horns rule.
bro I did first horn part too, so pretty but omg my freshman chops were not ready for that
My dear friend lost most of her squadron in a roadside bombing, she plays flute and was hired to play this. The beginning, the minor key, the conductor told the band to think of someone they lost and they with they could say goodbye to. She told me that after that she played this with them in her heart.

I love how this song isn't focused on notes, but the emotion of the piece its self.
My band played this last year. I was a clarinet. This year in a baring sax and I wanna play this song so bad
SAME!!!!!! were playing it in our band and it makes you want to cry. and i play the clarinet too!!!!!!!!!!!1
cibbax3 I play tenor sax and I'm playing it now, it's amazing
lol its really amazing
Sheasnod I know right, in the few songs our instrument has the melody, it's always fucking dank
lol thats cool
Last week i had played that song with the band on a wedding. The bride and bridegroom were crying.
I play the Tuba/String bass part on this song in my Violin bass and while very simple, it lets me enjoy and listen to the beautiful melody everyone´s playing at the orchestra. It´s a very emotional song and easy to put your heart into the nuances of your playing.
1st Trombone!
the end for trombone is nice
2nd trombone 😅
Jack Erwin Sameeeee
Hey me too! We just played this in our band
1st trombone for the win
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!
My breathing gets heavy whenever I hear this song. It could make anyone tremble with all the emotion it carries.
This song is so good but so hard to hit some of these high notes on my flute haha our band has their work cut out for them
They so easy what r u talking about
Judy Lun and who was asking you? 😂😂
I know that for some people, the high G in particular is quite easy to hit, myself included, but for some the note is well out of their range. So as a fellow flutist, we can encourage them and give them advice on how to improve.
my band teacher just made all the flutes in my class play the oboe part, same notes and all but an octave lower. it makes us sound so much better because we were kinda really loud when we played the high notes hahah
I wouldn't have done that, at least not with every player. The high notes are important to the musical texture. The *real* challenge is keeping flutes in tune when playing that high
I swear our band director gonna have us cryin by the end of this song and when we get on the bus we all gonna be in our feelings
Taia Gaskin hahah sameeeeee we are doing this for a competition
This song is exceptional it brought me to tears
We played this at graduation last year and I honestly love this song so much
Just played Ammerland at my last high school band concert. It was our only concert at all this year because of covid stuff. Played first trumpet on this bad boy 🥺🥺
I play this in my high school I’m on the bass drum
Il est trop beau ce morceau. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great memories of this piece. Played it in my high school symphonic band as a backup piece for a concert.

God I remember playing this in middle school
Played this at MPA this year. I'm the only 1st trumpet in my class, & it felt amazing to be able to play this song👌🏾
un gran compositor y una gran obra, la cual he interpretado. una maravilla
The trumpet 1 part made me tear up a bit.
Screaming that A on lead is something else.
Playing this with my community concert band....beautiful piece.

Our band is playing this piece for our concert on Thursday!! I’m so excited!
I’m in the high school band and we are playing this peace for CPA

We played this for our Symphonic Band II concert today. This peace really is beautiful. I'mma mention that I'a a 1st Alto Sax cuz everyone in the comments is mentioning their instruments :P
This is an amazing and beautiful piece indeed. My school's wind ensemble is playing this price for our next concert. I play the euphonium and love this piece.
Amazing and underrated piece! So beautiful
truly a beautiful piece
