Program notes by David Cross:
Diamond Tide (2015)
Viet Cuong (b. 1990)
The commission of Diamond Tide was underwritten by the middle school band directors of the Texas Music Educators Association Region 18. It is their vision that this work will become a significant addition to the very best in repertoire for school bands. Viet Cuong will be in residence in Austin during May when many area middle school bands will be presenting their premiere of the work. Tonight’s performance is the premiere of the work in its entirety.
From the composer: "A 2010 article published in Nature Physics details an experiment in which scientists were able to successfully melt a diamond and, for the first time, measure the temperature and pressure necessary to do so. When diamonds are heated to very high temperatures, they don’t melt; they simply turn into graphite, which then melts (and the thought of liquid graphite isn’t nearly as appealing or beautiful as liquid diamond.) Therefore, the addition of extremely high pressure-40 million times the pressure we feel on Earth at sea level-is crucial to form liquid diamond.
The extreme temperature and pressure used in this experiment are found on Neptune and Uranus, and scientists therefore believe that seas of liquid diamond are possible on the two planets. Oceans of diamond may also account for their peculiar magnetic and geographic poles, which do not line up like they do here on Earth. Lastly, as the scientists were melting the diamonds they saw floating solid shards of diamond forming in the pools-just like icebergs in the ocean. Imagine: on distant planets there are oceans of liquid diamond with bergs of sparkling solid diamonds drifting in the tide . . . These theories are of course all conjecture, but this alluring imagery provided heaps of inspiration for Diamond Tide, which utilizes the “melting” sounds of metallic water percussion and trombone glissandi throughout. Heartfelt thanks to Cheryl Floyd, Richard Floyd, the TMEA Region 18 bands, and John Mackey for making this piece possible."
Viet Cuong has had works performed on six continents by a number of leading soloists and ensembles. He is currently a Naumburg and Roger Sessions Doctoral Fellow at Princeton, and holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Peabody Conservatory. - เพลง
This is an incredibly complex song that I am playing in an honor band currently and our band was able to have the honor of meeting and being conducted by Richard Floyd the conductor in the video. He was extremely nice and had many useful comments that helped our band become even better than it was previously.
nice name
playing this for an honor band in a couple weeks!
Played this in an honor band a couple days ago

I hate playing this but love hearing it
Great piece playing it for assessment!
Played this my sophomore year of high school in symphonic band. I was the only horn :(
Same
I'm disappointed the college I'm going to is playing this the year before I go... 😢
This song is so amazing! I'm playing the clarinet solo for our band :I love the style! :)
Me too! Clarinet has the best part for this piece
Omg twinsies!!! The solo is so much fun!!!
played this for all-district band. it’s a lot more difficult than it at first seems it would be 😵💫
We get to play this for our spring concert. I play percussion 2 so far it’s fun.
I played this last year for all state and it was so much fun! Be careful tho, one of the percussionists hit the glass too hard and it shattered all over.
SAMEEEEE ❤❤❤❤
I got to play this for all county hs band, my literal favorite piece I've ever played. It is constantly in my head
I played this in pys it was a really fun one to perform
I played the flute 2 part for all-region band (sightread it and reheated it got two hours). It’s a lot of fun! Very funky but very pretty
played oboe for this piece, loved it
WHAT IS THAT MELODYYYY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
she diamond on my tide til i viet cuong
THE HORNS AT 6:57 ❤❤❤
The only thing i have to say is that i wasnt expecting a song called "diamond tide" to sound so sinister
Bello
forte
SPCO led me here ~ they're doing 'Circling Back .. '
This song was a pain to learn (alto saxophone) but the result that came out of it was worth it I would say. Such an interesting blend of different sounds that you wouldn't think would work but it does. Great piece, would I spend as much time as I did trying to perfect it again? Probably not lmao.
Why am I a page behind at the ending.
And why does trombone have like 30 measures of rest in a row
Every time I listen to this I think of a metal version. A drum set will easily be able to play the percussion part using rim shots as a alternative to the wine glasses. Bass guitar will obviously play the low brass and 2 guitars can play the rest of the treble horns. If anyone makes a metal version please let me know
Anyone came here for obda select band
Anyone came here for scsboa?
yes what instrument do you play
Me trumpet
Me clarinet
What’s ur name
