Winds of Change
By Randall D. Standridge
Item: 00-45002
Series: Alfred Concert Band
Grade 3.5
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
In recent years, Oklahoma has seen a great increase in the development of wind energy. This development in sustainable energy sources and the winds that flow across the great state serve as the inspiration for this composition. The piece begins by depicting the great open spaces that stretch for miles across the Oklahoma landscape. Small gusts of wind (represented by scalar and arpeggiated passages in the mallets and woodwinds) dance across the landscape. The piece picks up pace as the wind races across the land, turning the turbines and charging towards the future. (5:30)

I swear I'm gonna cry. I'm playing this as one of my graduation pieces, and it'll be the last time I ever play with my high school band director, and my fellow band mates.
I played this piece last year when a bunch of my favorite seniors were leaving. I cried and I wasn't even a senior xD
i played this as a graduation piece. i cried throughout the entire song😭
I was in the same situation. I miss my high school band but at the same time college band is a thousand times better. I still visit my high school band sometimes. Not right now bc of the coronavirus but I try to go to band events
I know how you feel. Senior year my friends and I loved the song Feliz Navidad. We had a fantastic arrangement for it. Playing it for the last time was sad indeed. The last time I would ever play it with my friends again. I’m a bari sax player.
I was gonna play it for my last concert in middle school then covid happened
Winds of change: starts
Clarinets: Oh this is cool
Winds of change: 1:29
Clarinets: *uh oh*
Clarinets: why do I hear boss music?
@@karvz1 lmao

@@CPisOP22 jabsjajshna WHAT
4:39 this part gives me so many chills
We were gonna play this for our spring concert this year then covid happened. AGHHHHHHH
Yo wait it's me, sup bro
@@leofont2846 sup man
SAMEEEE
I felt this on a religious level 😭
Right now my band is working on the 3 songs Terracotta Warriors, X-Factor, and Comic Dance and so hopefully we will be able to do it for a concert and it won't be canceled. You should check those songs out they sound cool!!
My son's HS concert band played this last night at their concert, and I was blown away. Beautiful piece. I could see a symphony doing this, even a drum and bugle corp...WOW!
Blown away by the winds of change! (PUN INTENDED!!)
My marching band is actually doing this.
Did someone say DRUM CORP??!
i played both the flute solos my sophomore year of highschool
it’s only been two years but every time that last note rings out, i get major chills
it’s like i’m suddenly transported back onto the MPA stage under the lights
Woodwinds
Fingers: Broken
Air: Disappeared from lungs
Brass:
Lips: Burned
Air: Blasted
Percussion:
Hands: Fell off
Rhythm: Still here
*Don’t mean to offend anyone ._.*
Hotel: Triva- nope. Not this time
None taken, I played the bass drum, wind chimes and the triangle part for this song.
My air is so good after and before
@@theraginginfernape9496 brass is so true xD
Lol facts
Is no one gonna talk about 5:15-5:24 ?!?! Sooo good
This piece seems peaceful, but do not be fooled. There is a tribe of woodwinds that sacrificed their lungs for this piece.
Source: Am a trumpet player who's seen this irl
That's what you think. Us tubas had to scream into our instruments for like the entire song except for the singing part and VERY beginning.
as a flute with the runs i highly agree :)
For real
@@eMMa-dd4uu yep
@@eMMa-dd4uu yep
This brings back high school memories
This piece was the opener and closer to our marching show this past summer
Allison Byrd this was our opener last year
Closer here
Did you have to take singing lessons?
I can honestly see why. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Allison Byrd amazing
omg i love this song! when the band players sang the notes as if they were a choir- holy mother of smokes that was so amazing!
I love all of his songs. Everyone gets a part they can enjoy. Choose joy is a prime example of this even the bass section has a part they can enjoy. A lot of songs for concert band just give the flutes, clarinets, and sometimes alto saxophone the melody and leaves everyone else with whole notes but he doesnt do that. That is why I love all his songs
I'm playing this currently and I enjoy it so much. I play Alto Sax :)
Pinksel Paige tenors are better
hey me too
Grace Katherine na bari is the best
Bari all the way
I agree that Baris and Altos are great
I absolutely love this song, yet it makes me a little sad. It reminds me of my son's senior year in high school that was cut short by Covid. I'll try to remember the good times instead.
Wanted to play this so bad during concert season but no one else wanted to ☹️☹️☹️😞
Man I kinda want to also now too.
I am playing this piece and a piece called Arabesque and they are amazing pieces!!
Arabesque is REALLY HARD from what i've seen. Haven't played it, but looks really hard.
THOSE ARE MY TWO FWVORITE PIECES UR THE LUCKIEST PERSON UGH
Those two are have massive skill gaps in them what. Gl playing arabesque
@@adimrai4365it is really hard
Is it not amazing that *Randall* Standridge composed "Winds of Change"?
i dont get it
Larry Li monsters inc
Forte Piano Randall is amazing
We are doing a part of this for marching band ✨
As a bari sax I was so excited to see the part (also we don’t have a bassoon so I get the really fun bassoon queues)!
I dream to play this one day
I'm a flutist (:
as the flute who got the solo for this, it is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful piece to play
I play trombone for 10 years and I did trombone 1 and 2 in this piece and is sounded is good. also, the trumpet, flute, bassoon, tuba, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, and horn did a great job with this piece. one of the best music ever
i woulda been playing this today at my concert but corona stole that from me 😡😡
Bro me to I was so dad
WE WERE GONNA PLAY THIS FOR OUR SPRING CONCERT LAST YEAR BUT THEN COVID HAPPENED AHHHHHHHHH. I swear this song hurts harder than a billie eilish song to a 14 yo e-girl to me
Yo 3:29- 4:15 bro the choir part is so beautiful. 😭
That was one of the mosy motivational compositions.
Played this last year for competition in my area. The synth part is pretty fun, and it sounds great from back in the percussion section!
How is this a grade 3.5 😭
We played this once for an All Region thing once! I played Vibraphone 😊
I hear some Kinetic Dances in this piece (another piece by Standridge, but idk which piece was first).
Ik 😮
And imaginarium
Im glad to say that I played this. 😄
This piece at 1.5x speed sounds awesome.
The beginning clarinet part sounds like the fast tempo of the song
Beginning hymn sounds like be still my soul without the break and no resolution.
2:03 is such a beautiful part
It’s such a beautiful piece but I can’t stop thinking it’s funny that the theme is wind turbines
I love the music❤
I have to play 1st trumpet part for this...
F
L
LMD Productions I want to but my bandmates didn’t want to play this 😞
you think that's bad, I have to sit in front of the 1st trumpet
you still have a copy of the part?
This is quite a fun song. Very powerful part for the low reeds/low brass. I play the bari sax.
Me and my 2nd band all region just played this 2 days ago, and it was wonderful, even tho we had only 1 and a half days to make it work, it was still good, somehow.
2:34 - 2:48 best part 💫💫
My Marine Corps band played bits and pieces of this as part of a concert series four years ago.
1:38-1:50 is a theme found in Standridge's "Kinetic Dances." It is also a horn feature there. It is my favorite phrase from both songs. If you're familiar with the piece, you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, go listen! If you like "Winds of Change," you will love "Kinetic Dances."
Best part 2:09
Ikkkkk
I'm playing this in my band class
Master Guru same here
Master Guru yeah no crap
Same here
The first thing I thought when our director played this was, WHY does this sounds like Hymn of Axium. Then why does it sound so Disney
Isabella Aguiar l-/ I know right it’s sounds Disney
Peaceful.
AWESOME PIECE!
Thank you, Bryan
Randall Standridge I did this piece for my concert, very beautiful, I play the trombone.
Randall Standridge I also did imaginarium and angelic celebrations, you create such beautiful music
Randall Standridge just found out that you are helping write my schools marching band music! East Noble? I can not wait.
W song
Shhhh... you hear this? It's the "Winds of Change".

My siblings are playing this music song tomorrow

I’m playing that crazy bell part
Randall from Monsters Inc., approves
Absolutely fantastic! I can't imagine how must practicing it must have taken. Bravo Jim. Love Evy and Phil! P.S. Is there a video of it?

Cityscape 🏙️
Catch me crying in my car after missing out on my senior year because of covid
We played this in middle school all southern band
nice!
Energy Kore wtf u found it lol
How the heck do you read scores?
Either way it's not important, it's not like I'm conducting this peice.
I recognize the rhythm from aggressivo
Sax and Relax that song....
Nut
The chorus part is supposed to sound gentle and angelic and then there's me with my deep voice playing bass chorus
Thank you for the wonderful piece! If i have to substitute the synthesizer part at broadly, do you have any recommendation? :)
Jonathan sax Prepare your Synthesizing skills.
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Tarzan
The ending copied a piece called “Celebration”. Either way both very good songs
Isaias Gonzalez bruh the ending is common in any song
Alondra Orozco my bad g
No offense but the saxophone ruined the woodwind runs
Sax ruins literally everything
Connor Patric Oof
You really can't even hear them...
The Brain you can I’d listen closely if you think about others saxes might be loud in there band
4:54
I would love this song more if the 3rd Clarinet part wasn't so boring. :(
git gud lolxd
lmao imagine playing bass clarinet, even more boring
Oml don't listen to this on 2 times speed
Yeet
When the professionals on the recording can’t even get the tempo change right
theres just no way this is only a 3 1/2
it definetly seems like a 3 1/2 compared to most level 4’s
all his songs sound the same
not really
Eat my shorts
Ikr
jigglypuff 44 not really
So you saying he the dababy of band music
