Young Concert Band - Grade 3
Composed over 40 years ago, this deliciously sinister theme for Darth Vader remains one of the most recognizable musical compositions in movie history. This authentic-sounding version captures all the feeling of dread and impending doom of the original.

Alright now that we got this one out of the way, where's the grade 5 arrangement with the 16th note triplets that we all deserve?
Dr. Coconut I thought it was more of a grade 4 than 5
Ha! Great minds think alike!
HAHAHAHAHA I FEEL THAT ONE
Lmao I play in a very mixed orchestra with people anywhere between 5th grade and people in their mid twenties. We have an arrangement that has the 16th triplets and it's classed at grade 3. We're struggling our way through it :')
@@parvgosai it’s grade 5. There’s 7-Tuplets in it if I remember, also double and triple tounguing.
Teacher: This will be a fun challenge for all of us
Me, who plays clarinet: *see measure 64*: so this is death
We were playing this in our band class today and us clarinet players were struggling big time like I play the 2nd clarinet part and that and from 37-48 we also died
Hi
Same here 😂
If you only knew the power of the dark side
Anakin Vader lmao
Eddie Loscaballos lol
If only you knew the power of the high ground
Need I remind you that you eventually came back to the light side.
Don’t underestimate the dark side
I love The Imperial March. Makes it seem like a fully realistic Star Wars movie. News flash: did you know that I went with my dad to see the Star Wars: Last Jedi movie at Cinemark in Valley View Ohio? I think both the movie and the concert arrangement looked realistic at the same time. While I was at my music theory lesson at St. Dominic (located in Shaker Heights, Ohio), Mr. Tennant had me copy down this instrument part for the arrangement Highlights From Star Wars. It was for an assignment in addition to the 1812 Overture arrangement in the music program Sibelius.
that C#/Db in the arpeggios for clarinets is pain
My 8th Grade band is playing this at our summer concert.
now my 8th grade class is playing this at our summer concert kinda weird that we chose the same song
In 8th grade the band is playing transformers theme that’s what I’m playing
This is an awesome arrangement, and I wish my band could play it. To be honest though, with our clarinets and trombones, we probably couldn't manage lol.
Trombones always seem to be the worst out of all the band instruments
@@burzcheeger7067 ok bud
@@burzcheeger7067 *holding back tears*
yeah, they're **sniff** terrible
Our clarinet players died today in band rehearsal but our trombone players were ok for the most part
@@burzcheeger7067 it’s also one of the hardest
Absolutly perfect.
I actually started breathing like Darth Vader. 😂😂😂
This is acceptable
dude that was so funny i forgot to laugh 💀💀💀
@@ashwinipaudel5139 step outside and do something productive with your life that isnt slandering random strangers on the internet for no reason with overused 'insults'
Bari sax part is really cool.
My middle school (8th grade) is playing this for the spring concert!
Pines Fines ;-; we only get to play this next year. (For 8) it’s class 3 stuff our music teacher said
Us too! Except we’re in 7th grade.
PandaLover 8000, if you are under 13, you ahould not be on TH-cam!
Kayla Mardis I am 13 lol.
Love this tune
This was a fun one to play for my bands spring concert
I play clarinet, I died when i saw measure 21
nice i love it
I have been trying to find out my family tree and I wonder if I'm related to Paul Murtha as I'm a Murtha so is my dad and his mum and dad
Nossa muito bom, gostei bastante.
1:33
you underestimate my power.
lol
Don’t try it
It's a marvelous piece to play but if you play trombone like me, then you have to learn to triple tongue. And there's a bunch of flats, sharps and naturals...
Feel yeah
Hammer And Pickle yeah i am the only trombone in my band trying to play this stuff
Isabella .N. thanks
The Dan' Group i get you...but i play violin in a band and thats not as fun as it sounds
Nice
That ending though…
Marching band is playing this. I have to switch from flute to piccolo and back. Kill me
This for marching would be crazy😮
It was insane. I got it down okay, but it took SO MUCH practice to get the accidentals memorized
This is too hard for little me in 6th grade.
👏👏👏
YES AN ARRANGMENT WITH NO VIOLINS NEEDED
cool
rip to all clarinet 1s (like me)
Angel Torres I relate
*Cries in Bb*
its easy wdym
I can play this
In 19 years
Nice!
The description is wrong though. The Imperial March isn't 40 years old yet. It was first created and conducted in 1980, just a few months before the movie was released in May of that year. Years before my time as well.
Hmmm. Almost 40 years ago
Lovely arrangement, but I find its lack of sixteenth-note triplets disturbing.
Great! But most middle school bands don’t have a battery of horns and baritones. Would have loved to see some tenor sax support.
teamuop99 you could easily give a tenor a baritone TC part to play for that part, but I personally am very glad and happy, as it is nice to not have that support written in as I feel (as a baritone) that we are very underrated, and I think it is important that we get recognition occasionally.
We do have a lot of baritones and horns in 6th grade
yeah my band has no baritones but i play the bass trombone and play the baritone part on most of the songs we play. (including this one)
You cant make the imperial march without string instru-
You don’t know the power of the band side!
Only complaint for this piece is the trombones get sidelined at the beginning. Trombone player
My friend who is a tuba player says that I am doing everything wrong when even though I am second chair and he is first because he thinks he has everything right since he is first chair and he said today he doesn’t listen to the recordings and doesn’t practice because it is to easy for him when he sucks at the music
Time to convince my band director to let us play this!
I played this and I remember when the trumpets would play so loud at measure 29 it made the song so fake

I play Bari Sax 😐 I want a piece to learn
I’m A Bari, And I Cried when i saw measure 64 2:16
me when band director:
Need* My manners
Wrong key I think
Sax And relax it is
This is supposed to be in the key of G, not F.
It's in Bb, two flats, none for me as I am trumpet. I noticed it right off the bat as I can play this in original key. Trumpets start with A A A not G G G.
The snare drum rhythm/bass line is not correct.
何故オリジナルキーにしないのか。
It's too high for younger players which is who this made for
Sigh, like most other arrangements of this piece, it is one step lower than the original... Concert G is the primary note of the song, not Concert F. The counter-melody simplified rhythm is just inaccurate. Yes, this was made for less experienced bands, but it just sounds weird when it isn't accurate.
BandEqualsLife29 this is Class 3 arra
Deal with it
Most likely it’s in F minor because the notes in the brass would have been very high to hit especially towards the end
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the main melody in triplets, not 16th notes?
Interesting, I don't know if it's supposed to be triplets. If I play it with triplets in my mind it feels natural.
Putin’s theme song!
