- Disclaimer - I do not own this piece of music I am hear to show it to people.
Olympiada was written in 1996 (rescored in 2002) to capture the human conditions of intense glory and pain that only the Olympic Games can inspire, while musically tying themes with a historic Greek feel to modern harmonies and melodies. Openig with an Olympic-style brass fanfare to set the tone, this impressive work quickly breaks into a variety of themes and settings representing athletic struggle before recapitulating the fanfare at the end. (4:40)
I was First Trumpet and my lips hurt every time I played this
Yeah same, one I got to the high D’S I just gave up
Finding this comment 12 years later (and 11 years since I played first trumpet on this song) and I still feel this deep in my soul lol
I played this in symphonic band, loved the trumpet and French horn part. Makes you think of flying in the sky
The amount of goosebumps I get in pieces like this one is insane!
I played toms, and I nailed it from the beginning. I got goosebumps every time, and that fueled me to go freakin ham
YESSS I PLAY TOMS AS WELL TOMS FTW FUCKING INSANE
Matias Collates I did too a couple of years ago and my gosh was I so focused..I was so into the music I landed every note without looking up for the conductor.
7 yrs later.. and I'm cymbal
hi i'm from the future, i was on timpani for this piece and the timpani part is godlike
This is such an emotional piece, especially for my band, This was my last year and this was the last song at the concert that we played and for years it had been our opener for marching shows, specifically the very ending. I bawled, I and many other people whose it was their last time, music is a really extraordinary thing.
I am legitimately curious; how did you play while crying?
Y'all do realize most of Hazo's pieces sound scarily similar (i.e. Rush and Ride) right? He definitely has a specific style
Rush and Ride are supposed to be performed together since they are based off of each other but they rarely are played together.
Yeah a lot of composers music are very similar, same case with Robert w smith all his pieces are quite similar
He does have some range though, listen to perthshire majesty, I wouldn't have known it was a hazo piece of you didn't tell me
I love the Suspended Cymbal. It's like almost always doing something!
2:14 The percussion is gonna have a fucking blast lmao
I'm a clarinet and I have to play this with the band at my graduation 😁😭
Have to? It should say "get to"
Sheesh Samuel Hazo really loves ridiculously hard trumpet parts
and every single one of them are amazing to play too
This actually wasn’t that hard to play
I remember playing this in symphonic band I play tuba and we shredded 1:32 it was a fun piece and Samuel Hazo is one of my fav composers for making strong pieces like this
amen bro, just played this at a clinic band and I'm 1st chair of 7 and it kicked cause he wanted it loud :P
Im doing this piece in symphonic band this year and im using that section of this video to practice my piece lmfao
Dude that shit is so hard omg
My marching band played this as our closer in 2014. Our school as bagpipes and hearing them playing this towards the end still gives me chills. Obviously the pipe instructor wrote a part for them cause it's not in the original version.
Alexis Silverman, my marching band is playing this song as closer as well 😁
My gosh just played this at our concert a couple hours ago and it was conducted by a student teacher that's leaving tomorrow :'( I cried so much at the end...
I played this last year (trumpet 1/2) and I downloaded it onto my ipod and went running with it. I ran my fasted mile time ever a few weeks ago of 4:51 and I had it blasting in my ears. LOVE IT.
OMG. When I read your comment the first time, I thought it said
"I love the Suspended Cymbal. It's like almost doing something!"
That's right. The cymbals are like ALMOST doing SOMETHING... Almost
It's very similar to the song from the 1992 Japanese robot animation.

That low wind break in the middle goes so hard!!!
my band just started playing this, i play bass trombone. When we come in, these was only trombone. You couldnt hear anything else, it was awesome :D
I play trombone too
If only there were either more 5/8 or 3:4 polyrhythms.
I despise 5/8 except in this song tbh, I love the 3:4 poly's tho
3:4 is so common in western popular music. That certainly doesn't discount it, but I get bored of it. 5/8 feels more exotic to me.
Never before has such a boss bass trombone part ever been scored
Hit them low notes with that Bari sax :P
Played this at put concert last night and I'm a percussionist it was truly an experience
Mr. Music8605 Were you Timpani?
Our trumpets completely ruin this piece. Imagine that... Every other section nails it perfectly. Tenor/ bari sax parts are my fave.
Welcome to the Symphonic (Lower) band at my school. All the other sections got to be good enough to be in Wind Ensemble (Higher) band by the end of the year, but the trumpets still played like they were in middle school. Freaking dinguses
Arden Cline fancy seeing you here
In their defense it is really hard
Jonah Pawlak Truth be told, it's a challenging instrument. I'm primarily an Alto player, but when I started to double on trumpet I understood a lot better.
I know that it's hard, but we've played harder and they can't grasp this one 😂
this is probably the funest song i´ve sightread on euphonium, i hope we play this for our end of the year concert
This song sounds like it's from a ww2 movie
This song is based off the Olympics
I'll be honest, this song almost made me cry at its glory.
Suspended Cymbal!
Miniman0404 currently playing this in my band class! WOO SUSPENDED CYMBAL
I'm playing this for counties. The bari sax piece is awesome!
This is the only song that I’ve ever been hyped to play suspended cymbal
2015 Marching show Closer right here. The sousaphones had fun with it.
No recording I've heard of this ever captures the epicness of the percussion section
Former flute here, I absolutely love this piece. After I played this in my freshman year I knew I needed to join Percussion. Currently in battery as a senior this upcoming season ;)
Hahahaha played this in seventh grade, the percussion is amazing in this. LOVE THIS PIECE! Best brass part at 1:28!!!!!!!
I play percussion dor this song (2 deep toms). I swear, our section has the dopest line. I LOVE this song.
I'm first trumpet in this rn for 12th grade wind ensemble. It may be absolute hell but it is fun!
My band just rehearsed with Mr. Hazo today, it was really great to have him here in Sandy Hook especially after what happened back in December.
I believe it is a grade 5
BAND GEEKS EVERYWHERE KNOW THIS ONE YUPPPPPPP
the flute parts get pretty intense too
Memelord 666 They do I played this a few weeks ago and woah. It's an amazing piece but can be tough.
Have you ever played Solas Ańe
we are playing this for our first concert and i couldn't get the part at 1:18 and 3:08 out of my head. and of course the fanfare at the end
I play tuba and we did a good job playing this song
In my freshman year show in high school, we had Rush, Ride, and Olympiada in it. I love Samuel R Hazo.
this is my freshman year and we have to march to this piece. its gonna be hard!
i play bass trombone, and i´m louder than the one above, if there is one :P but it´s so exhausting 0.o
I was privileged to be able to play this piece with Samuel Hazo conducting today and it was absolutely amazing
Did more research on this and I came up with Grade 4 1/2
Timpani! The most fun piece I ever played:)
Lol, did someone cough after
1:28
I am searching for a comment section on a piece of concert band music that doesn't have some dumb kid bragging about how they played it in Like 6th grade
It's here, not hear
remember when samuel hazo recreated GOD
YUH
I think this was the last piece I played in high school band. The underclassmen in the top couple bands performed at commencement, and then we graduates joined them to play what I think was this piece (it's been 16 years so I'm not 100% certain).
This was our closer for my schools 2021 Marching show, I played Quads on my second year of drumline, we just finished champs and I love this damn song so much
As a member of the color guard, I am required to be enrolled in band. Marching season is over so our band Director moved me from guard to percussion. (We are a band of about 25 people and we didn’t have enough percussion members).I have never been in band before... and she hands us this piece to sight read 😂 it’s a great piece, but incredibly intimidating for a newbie.
Superman type beat fr
Played this piece in my school band, 1st trumpet was just crazy. One of the greatest pieces I ever were part of.
Also the best drums solo ever, just a insane transition.
We played this for our final concert and this song still gives me goosebumps every time i hear it the ending is just Amazing i was 2nd trumpet for this song but still played parts of the first trumpet
1:27 omg
theres only two 1st trumpet parts in my band so we kinds struggle with this piece because we keep running out of air so theres no one else covering us
We played this and we had like 3 firsts, but one player to go into the higher octave at that one part in the Beggining and the others played 2nd. Talk about no breath :)
Love how someone altered the pitch so that its in B instead of Bb
Brendan Henry I know it suck cuz you can’t play along
When I first played this piece, I wanted to play with audio recordings. I looked it up and it was played in B. I was shook, but it still sounds incredible in B. (Bb was good too)
holy wow! My marching band did an arrangement of this back in 2013ish!
Strange that this recording is a half step higher than the original composition. In B major instead of Bb.
same im lead tuba in N.C.W.O and we get one of there fu good bass lines (sorre about speling im dislexic )
We didn't have it! I don't know why tho... I can listen to these pieces and still remember which parts were in the show.
I play flute. We are playing this song at our schools graduation. I love it so much. Beautiful chords :)
Our band is rehearsing with Sam Hazo today. He is helping us on his song Novo Lenio. It's a great piece if none of you have heard it.
It´ssimple double tongu, search for it in youtube, you will find some tutorials... it´s not that hard to learn it
Trumpets never sound like wimps haha I played first trumpet for this. It's a challenge, but I like it
Woah. You play the trumpet? Same here! But I play Second Trumpet, still, Trumpet-heads!
My high school marching band is using this as our opener, with a bit of Sousa thrown in :D
the trumpet part is hell. there is one part....bar line, line, line, line, note.
This song was soo fun to play on Base Trombone back in Highschool.....I still have the sheet music
My wind ensemble did a combined effort with a college wind ensemble and our symphonic winds. Together it was about 120 playing this godly piece. (I played bass clarinet) But yeah this is such an amazing piece and I still have the sheet music for it.
This song really reminds me of the man of steel trailer
i playde this in the Nashunall Childrens Wind Orcestra (NCWO) ( :
I played this during my 10th grade year
What band is playing in this recording?
Haha I was on the rack n cymbals when I played this song man wow
I played suspended cymbal and I killed everyone's ears :3
3:47-3:52 put a chill through my spin
my brother freaking went hardcore with the tenor sax xD
2:14
Yeah buddy! That part is so much fun to play! :D
I remember playing this.... Memories man...
I know how you feel. But it was so much fun!
Its actually Grade 4 1/2
Anybody know what is level this is??
I believe it is Grade 5, Medium-Advanced
Yeah it's grade 5 and we are playing it at my high school! I love this piece!!!!
+Bailoutgreely Holy crap grade 5? We played this and it seemed like a 4 to me, but that isn't my decision lol
+Sarah Elena played it in 7th grade :).
Grades don't mean much, as they are decided by the publisher. Grade 4s can be 6s to someone else
bass trombone on this is insane
how can you tongue like that dude? .-.
Eu vou tocar essa música na minha banda eu toco escaleta 😊
The art of double and triple tonguing
we played this in JV band :P
This put a smile to my face
How can they tongue like that??? 2:55-2:59
double tonguing
Dude...show me how...
what grade is this?
Written in 1996.
Wheres sevens D:
cymbals baby!
>:D
3rd horn holla
Grade 4 :)
CP 2012
should I call it a song, play, or piece? help me out guys
+Draconic Ryuken
A song has lyrics. A play has stage acting with little to no music. A composition without lyrics is a piece. So this is a piece.
+sheldon sutton oh thx :)
