This work was inspired by the legendary American patriot and hero of the Revolutionary War. Movements include: Intrada, Intermezzo and The Rangers. James Curnow's musical craftsmanship is once again evident in this impressive piece for intermediate bands.

Second movement gives me the shivers when people play the dynamics perfectly
We're playing this in band right now lol. This is one of those pieces in which I love listening to it. But I hate playing it. That's me with all the music we got though Lmao
Wats yur Instagram name…
Lol I only hate the 2nd interval cause it’s so quiet but the 1st is def my fave
I hate everything our band plays. Until I can play it, then it's the best thing ever :)
I have no idea why I'm looking up a song I played in middle school band back in the seventh grade. But I remember how this was everyone's favorite piece and we played it at like every concert that year.
Ha- my high school band it just now playing this
One of the best band pieces I have ever played. I'm playing this for my concert this week, it's such a good song.
we make similar content!
1st movement: 0:00
2nd movement: 1:39
3rd movement: 4:25
As a lowbrass 1:10 gives me chills everytime I play it
IT IS LITERALLY THE MOST AMAZING THING IVE HEARD FROM THE LOW BRASS 😭 (I play trombone IT WAS SO GOOD)
In middle school my band was supposed to do this piece, but it was scrapped because people found it difficult. Then in high school, we got to play this for MPA 😂
Tbh it’s sorta easy for me tho
It is easy. I'm in 9th grade and I am a trombone player.
Bro did you go to tarpon middle bcuz i remember that and we are playing it this year!
Well, we are currently playing it in middle school band
We’re playing it in high school too.
The Advance Band in our band played this a couple years ago. I didn't it with them though. I remember my mom cried when they played this because Nathan Hale was such a remembered citizen of America.
He was a spy for George Washington
“My only regret is that I have but, one life to give for my country”
ur mom met nathan hale?
@@alexvaladez3641 No no. I think it was just an emotional piece. So, it made my mom tear up. I can't exactly remember. It's been quite a few years since that concert.
Long time band teacher and this is in my top 3 favorite pieces.
In my opinion 3rd movement sounds better at x1.25 speed
semor 1539 our band plays it around there
@@ndavis3920 dang that fast
no crap
Try 2x speed LOL
-DeadShotz-, of you do 2x speed on second movement it sort of sounds like it supposed to be the speed lol. Also the flutes playing 2x sounds weird lol
I get to play this in an Honor Band
1:39 (2nd movement is the best) probably because I’m Clarinet but
The finale begins at 4:25
Thx
I’m a first trumpet on this song and we have lots of high notes
I'm first trombone on this song.
dude, the stuff in this piece doesn't even compare to some of the other things out there. Pieces like Arabesque or any musical pit stuff has notes three or four ledger lines above the staff
@@TheNameIsGamestar yes you all play stuff with high notes and it makes you very very cool
I’m 1st Clarinet
Yes, but as someone who has played first trumpet in this piece it is so much fun. It kills my lips but it’s fun
haaaaaayy just did this in my band and I love it so much
Our band only has one freshman oboe. He is absolutely amazing. He's really strong and loud for just being one person
We have no oboe we have a very small band of 23 people for marching season and like- 20 or less for concert.....including middle school... Our schedule is weird our school has Band 1st period then the middle school has 2 periods for our 1st period so we have 2 sets of middles schoolers. The high school leaves at like 9:45. So yeah.... For high school students we have- like still 20 or 15 very small. We have 4 clarinets.
5 trumpets.and yeah just very small.
I heard Horizon High school play this for MPA 2024, it was extremely beautiful 🙏
I played this at Blue Lake. Low wind gang!
I played this piece as a member of the SENMME Junior High All-District Honor Band in 1991. I haven't been able to find it until now, and the third movement has some killer sixteenth note runs on the clarinet part.
yes it does
lol played it for the 8th grade 2019 honors band program
I played this in band in highschool 2009 one of my favorites
I’m 1st euphonium and playing this song. It is a lot of fun and is one of my favorites.
We played this for the eastern A music festival and it slapped
i play TUBA im in seventh grade and in wind ensemble and we are playing this for band evaluations
Ay tuba gang
ay. same
:D I love how it turns the pages XD
I am in middle school and we are playing this piece for MPA
same
My class played this with the eighth grade band in SEVENTH GRADE. This is typically about a grade four piece. I should have only been playing 2nd grade songs at the time. Also, the year prior to that was the Covid school year, so band just wasn’t as high quality. There were only two first trumpets, and I was one of them, and our band actually played phenomenally. It was our best band concert, and I look back on that with pride.
In our school we have a advance group from 6 to 8 and we did that there
We're doing ours for festival and we're so bad at movement 3
i got this today. im the third trumpet and a freshmen in high school. Wish me luck!
Same
Same here. Festival next week
I’m about to start teaching middle school band, I remember doing this in 7th grade, definitely programming it
we are currently playing this in my Advanced Band, im currently in 6th grade, i also play trumpet, just started, bout 3 weeks ago, the band teacher let me in the beginner band.
1:40
4:25
Aisling Murphy thank youuu
4:25 just hits different. I love it.
I love listening to it but god it sucks playing it when u have Alto Sax and ur lips are getting destroyed by this song. Mainly from playing the same notes for many beats at a time
i played this in middle school and im playing it now in high school and because of that me and the first chair can play it incredibly fast and incredibly well its funny
just played that last month as of april 2017
2nd movement is my favorite and it reminds me of super mario galaxy
I have been looking for a way to understand that feeling, you summed it up. It also reminds me for some reason star wars
i played this for a concert and the first movement for the seroirs graduation (lucky me 3rd trumpet, i was noice and i switched with meh friend who took 2nd part i regret nothing:p)
The saxophone part in 5:12 gives me chills
Oh my childhood?
being a first trumprt on this is hell.
i’m playing this right now for judges in 9th grade 😃
I'll be doing that next week. So excited
I have a chair test on measure 40 to 50 in the third piece tomorrow ;-;
We played this for high school festivals and got a 1
Constance Nelson oof
@@ndavis3920 a 1 is excellent
In my state 1 is the worst my fault, 4 is the best for our state
I have to play this in my high school concert😂
I dont know how my band director chose Chanteys over this. I really hope that after MPA we play this for the concert instead of Chanteys.
Playing this first Trombone. 3rd movement is just lame to me while playing because most of it is just 8th notes and playing just those in 1, rest rest, 4, 1. 2nd movement is awesome, and I just wish the first movement is longer because I LOVE the theme in that one, and if it were explored and developed more, it would make an outstanding piece for level 3.
If I were the composer, I would make the first movement even longer (as I said) and have a really good climax before that moment that happens on measure 28. I would make it a sonata form with one theme (good start with my journey as composer for symphonic work).
2nd movement: Do not touch it, but I would make the middle section and climax work less with the theme and more of an aimless ambience.
3rd movement: Lots of changes are needed. Theme needs a change, less trumpet emphasis, make it longer, I could go on, and totally make a transition from the first 3/4 of the movement to the C major modulation, and even change the key signature (I don't know why Curnow decided "Oh I'ma be lazy and stick to my signature" but it would not have hurt the piece at all). Only thing for the ending I would change is to make it have a horn rip and make the Tubas just blast while the bells chime.
But here's a thing I love about this piece. While it may not be the best composed work (we're talking someone who composes generally for beginner music) is the emphasis on the themes for each movement. If you are are a striving composer trying to find a theme and have a piece that emphasizes a theme, this will be a really good way to go. Most pieces by amazing composers today usually go by form and motifs rather than full theme.
We did this for band festival
Ay nice pic Jimmie Johnson
Bari sax in this song
For me, the end of the 2nd movement represents the death of Nathan Hale. The third repents the beginning of the revolutionary war inspired by many thing, but in this case, patriotism. Anyone else get that feeling?
I played first chair trumpet for this piece a few weeks ago, im in 7th grade. This was somewhat hard lol
4:27 finale
I played this in blue lake…felt so powerful in the first movement 😎 (I play trombone)
Bro second moment sounds like the super mario galaxt motif
Thank god I'm a third trumpet on this piece because I can NOT hit those high notes lmao 🙏
