For all those playing Persis in school, this song will probably stick with you for a long time. It was definitely the best song I played in band, and ten years on and I still listen to it!
I legit practised with my tuba to this exact video in 2008 because it was the same key as the sheet music I had and I’ve come back every now and then ever since
I spent half a year in Australia from this January to July and played this piece in the school band but sadly, I had to leave before the band played it in concert :/
I love this piece. Especially the oboe and french horn duet in the middle. Love the clarinets doing eights during that part too. Makes a great harmony, kind of sad, but really preeeetty.
I plat Tenor Sax on this, and this piece has excellent harmony. I recently found the story behind the music. A young man is warped through time iinto ancient Persia. He happens to become entranced with a beautiful noble maiden, the maiden saying she recognized him, as if from another place in time. The man went into her (he's forbidden) castle, and when the guards found out, they chased after him. He then races away, mourning over what could have been, and is sucked back to his time. =D
Beautiful this song, the oboe player is fantastic and the french horn players are too . I play this music too in my band . My instrument(french horn) it can be heard in 3:45
lmao just a ton of practice, start slow and slowly build your speed up.. the runs at 6:17 and at the end of the piece were on my final playing exam in high school and i remember practicing so much for that but it payed off cuz i got a 98 :) Good luck!
I miss playing this song. I either would played the 1st clarinet or 2nd clarinet part pending the day. The horn parts are the best. However the runs at the end are murder (especially for the winds). This ended up being one of our favorite songs to play in band.
I sightread this song last year and just happened to remember the name of the song. I was curious to hear how the whole song was supposed to go so I listened to it and absolutely fell in love with the song. It's so beautiful!
I played this on flute my freshman year of band, and sometimes I get the urge to just listen to it again and it brings back so many memories of my band practicing this I love it
One of the greatest songs I've been a part of. Listening to my fellow oboe player on the solo and then joining in after was an extremely moving and emotional experience.

It did for me the runs on sax stay with me
1000% agree!! I can still feel the nervousness of playing my first high school concert as a freshman. That was almost 14 years ago. Yikes lol
1st Trumpet on this song, 18 years ago. The time pass but I still love this song. Great moment and memories !,!

That oboe solo leave me choking backing tears
People still watching this video after 8 years. What a legend.
this video give me a lot of memories of my secondary school
After 10 years :D
11
nvm, almost 11
Been ten years since I played this in high school and I still love it, it's such an amazing song.
HORN, You are beautiful. Everyone else, you are also beautiful.
The horn parts are very difficult but very rewarding once you get the runs down
Played the bells and xylophone for this senior year of high school! Hardest piece I’ve ever done! Miss playing it
That part is extremely hard to learn, but once it’s down, it’s not as bad
that alto sax part with the fluttery notes
jesus crist
Holy crap yah
I love this piece. Especially the oboe and french horn duet in the middle. Love the clarinets doing eights during that part too. Makes a great harmony, kind of sad, but really preeeetty.
Any advice
2:30 it's just beautiful. 7:07 the runs for the Flute, Xy, clarinet, and oboe are off the chain. A great piece to learn.
I played trombone 1 in high school. Absolute favorite piece of all time to perform!
So did I. That was awesome.
+eiennofantasy I would have enjoyed learning trumpet 1. They have lots of runs.
Such a sick piece for Trombone. I particularly love the trombone 2 part aha
Baritone here but completely agree the trombone part was dope
Being the only oboe... And a first year oboe, that solo worries me
I had the same concern this year...
Gabriel's Oboe and this..are amazing songs make me wanna play Oboe
Quack quack
Pray for me 😂
Oboe solo blows me away......every time.
I saw the notes, i was like
HELL NAH, I AIN'T PLAIN THAT
it was easy for me..
Lol what instument
Played baritone in high school and did this piece. So much nostalgia
I plat Tenor Sax on this, and this piece has excellent harmony. I recently found the story behind the music.

Uahng Clxai I feel that
Lol try playing the flute part. Those runs at the end killed me.
lmao just a ton of practice, start slow and slowly build your speed up.. the runs at 6:17 and at the end of the piece were on my final playing exam in high school and i remember practicing so much for that but it payed off cuz i got a 98 :) Good luck!
Tears in my eyes everytime I hear that

The slow section is just about the best thing ever XD
Alto saxophone! Played it 5 years ago at Rockford High School!
I play Aux percussion in this song and I gotta choke back the tears when our really good oboe player starts playing lmao

I loved this song when we played it in high school, it was my favorite, I had such feelings while playing it :) I was Piccolo and flute :)
I sightread this song last year and just happened to remember the name of the song. I was curious to hear how the whole song was supposed to go so I listened to it and absolutely fell in love with the song. It's so beautiful!

Got to play this in my senior year as lead trumpet and i loved playing!!!!
The horn part is SO beautiful!!!
One of the greatest songs I've been a part of.
Listening to my fellow oboe player on the solo and then joining in after was an extremely moving and emotional experience.
This sound's like a piece of music for hero's! It reminds me of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild.
I'm not even kidding, I'm currently choking up while studying ..help
I almost cried during our performance, you shoulda seen the look on our directors face when she saw me trying not to cry
just did this song at nationals in Ottawa, WON GOLD. Amazing song.
French horn!

I especially love the oboe/flute solos.
And those truMPETS LIKE HOOOLLLY.. not to mention those RUNS !! woW!
I love this song! I played it last year in symphonic band, great french horn parts!
the cor anglais solo and the the where the whole band plays that solo phrase together is just so wonderful :D
12 years later that oboe solo still gives me goosebumps!
This song is amazing. My band payed it during our last concert. It is the most fun piece of music ive ever played.
iLove
One of my favorites :) I got to play the oboe solo last year as an 8th grader at camp :D
Beautiful
I LOOOOOOOVE this piece, we didn't play it enough in band. i had trumpet 3... so i was playing with the tenor's melody 8D love this song ^^
Drgn8D trumpet 3 is so underrated for this piece, but a great part
I played this on Trumpet when I was in high school. Currently first year in university. Gosh I miss those days.
This is a very awesome piece!
And *love* that oboe solo. :)
