    This is the last piece my band director is going to conduct at my school before he leaves. It makes me sad every time I listen to this piece because the piece was written about a boy who’s going off to war, maybe to never see his family again. The parallels between the two situations that were faced make this a rightful last piece for my director.

    'Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide
    But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
    Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
    'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
    Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so
    But when ye come and all the roses falling
    And I am dead as dead I well may be
    Go out and find the place where I am lying
    And kneel and say an ave there for me
    And I will hear tho' soft you tread above me
    And then my grave will warm and sweeter be
    For you shall bend and tell me that you love me

    Everyone is being very appreciative and serious here so I'll start by saying that this is a beautiful arrangement and performance of a classic well-loved piece, and I especially love the Euphoniums in this.
    That being said, I thought it hilarious at 3:40 that homeboys oboe and mr. timpani are just sitting there during the climax with nothing to do.

      The only part of the whole piece is the cymbal roll. Us percussionists often have long breaks doing nothing but counting bars. Seems almost wrong in a [aid gig you receive the same $$ as the strings & woodwind which are playing most of the time.

      Matt Bell If this is a comment about the oboes wishing the balance of the band....that’s the way Grainger wrote. Band is soft, and oboes are in the bottom of their register. They will stick out, rather like a bagpipe, and that’s what Grainger intended.

    So whoever wrote "You Raise Me Up" definitely plagiarized a bit from this tune right?

      Well, it was based on the folk tune that this piece itself was based on, so they both plagarized

    Awww... that alto clarinet at 1:40 seems a bit overtaken by emotion... 🥲

    If this guy is the conductor why doesnt he tell the band to do it in the English way?
    There really should not be any slowdowns and pauses in this song. Just straight forward. No 'milking' of the song and its phrases.
    Do it the straight forward English way. Itll come out more beautiful.
