in an updated version!

This was a "private concert" and I don't have plans to release this anywhere for monetary gain. I've seen lots of ensembles perform this piece and I am pretty sure they didn't get the rights to do it. I have a friend who has reached out for authorization and he's able to do it. The main issue is the rightsholder is in Japan and they can take months or years to get back to you. I would also like to think that the rightsholders of this piece wouldn't want to sue a bunch of student ensembles considering the anime is about a student ensemble.

@@Alexdengmusic Thank you for the reply 😊🙏 So, you think that if it's not for money, and especially if it's private, it shouldn't be a problem? I'm currently in a wind ensemble. So it's essentially what the piece is for. I thought "if they are ok with adding stuff to the repertoire, we/they could play it"(I'm in the "Monaka" of the ensemble, the novice group). But I'm not sure if they can play this on concerts. The members are volunteers, and everyone is paying for the membership. So it might be ok, or not.

Yah I haven't heard of the studio or the rightsholders ever going out of their way to sue a school district or a volunteer group for performing this piece. Usually as long as the concert is free admission, they wouldn't really care considering it's also free promotion.

Yah the main issue in a recording studio session where the musicians are sightreading so the need for a click track in their headsets is basically mandatory. One problem is that the solo trumpet part of this piece is pretty much done kind of like a concerto in all the wind band recordings, not to mention some of them don't follow the written tempo marking on the score. Since this was done with a click or tempo track, that's likely why it's 1.5x faster. But do no worry, I am going to re-attempt this piece again without a click track and much more rehearsal time.

I didn't know the orchestra responsible for recording the Squid Game soundtrack had really bad recording equipment. Thank you for pinning the blame on them instead of me not getting this professionally mixed. ;)

Thank you!

If my music is too good, your music is literally from the heavens

Yes you should!

They did learn this in like 40 minutes and I was really pushing them. Also some weird decision I made in the arrangement for ease of recording in that shorter time frame. There is an updated version with percussion with some different takes spliced in. :)

Yes you should learn!

ありがとう ございます!!!!

My favorite part too!

AGREED!

Now imagine what they can do with actual rehearsal time 😀

​@@Alexdengmusic : Yessir, they are amazing!

Just tryna be like Taki-sensei

Perhaps I’ll pay a visit to Uji the next time I’m in Japan

The powers at be will kill me, but I'll ask them first

He was about to kill me

It's a symphony orchestra arrangement?

Studio musicians are very much there for the job. Their whole gig is to sightread it flawlessly then go home

I'm sure this will get programmed by more orchestras and wind bands in the future!

You can blame my awful mixing skills! I'm having someone correct that as we speak..

@@Alexdengmusic I am looking forward to that ☺️

There is a version where I tried to mix it better and added back in percussion..

@@Alexdengmusic それは聴いてみる

@@Alexdengmusic あなたのミックスを悪いとは思わない。 ただ吹奏楽バージョンで聴き慣れているからそう思った。 オーケストラで聴き慣れていなかったからそう感じた。 オーケストラでしか出せない音もあって新鮮で素晴らしかった

Amazing! Pick up clarinet as well since there's some overlap between saxophone and clarinet as well as clarinet having a large role in studio orchestras. Saxophones aren't usually too utilized in studio orchestras but you can always be the first one to change that!

​Thanks for the tip, Conductor, I also play the clarinet and trumpet, I'm going to train a lot so that one day I can play alongside you.​@@Alexdengmusic

Thank you! Massive props to the players. Many professional studio orchestras are prolific sight readers and some of the best musicians globally! As long as your parts are clear to the players and the communication from the podium is effective, studio musicians can sight-read anything. Budapest is one of the top groups in Europe for studio orchestras, but you should see what Los Angeles studio musicians can do... they are the best of the best.

그리고 맛있다..

haha

Taki sensei would be in his grave when his students are this age💀

Much love for these amazing musicians!!

need you to do a chopin recital here

@@Alexdengmusic lets make it happen!
