This always gives me goosebumps. My high school brass ensemble is going to play this in a few months and we are really looking forward to it! This piece has such beautiful melodies.
An eight-minute piece that felt like an entire lifetime of a journey. Really reminds me of the time my small ensemble played this exact arrangement. You guys are absolutely amazing.
This gorgeous arrangement of Eric Whitacre's Alleluia, by David J. Miller is sensitively performed by the Barclay Brass. Hats off, ladies and gentlemen!
One of the first things on my post pandemic bucket list is to get down from Boston to catch you folks live. You've kept me going during these dark days and weeks. And months. But hopefully not years.
Barclay Brass; you are an absolutely magnificent group of musicians. It's 1:20am in the morning and I am playing Whitacre's 'Alleluia through my system. The excellent level of artistry coupled with technical brilliance truly warmed every fiber of musical spirit in my body. The piece was truly melodic and warmly soothing to my ears. I will play this work over and over again and I can't wait to project this stellar piece through my car speakers as I'm moving down the road. Barclay Brass members; you and your brethren are a wonderful group and I feel that you truly are a gift to those of us that love and appreciate 'excellence' in the music that permeates every part of our world. The music is also harmonically superb. As they use to say in my church....'keep on keeping on'!!

God I love when the tubas come in
Eric Whitacre is a genius.
This is why God created brass ensembles.
This is a great example of playing lyrical phrases musically rather than merely notes on a page. It’s emotionally evocative. Brilliant!

I’m so thankful this exists 👏🏻
Just sumptuous to the ears Whiteacre is a genius ...who's work is brought to life by top draw musicians!!!!!
Thanks!
October for band, Alleluia for chorus which this arrangement comes from. Thanks David Miller for clarifying.
In my personal opinion like the hallelujah arrangement over October but they're both so beautiful
Wow .....makes these brass instruments sound so subtle ..very well played ...really pulled it off
Thanks, David!
Magnificent
Amazing job by everyone, but wow, Amy McCabe surely did shine on this one.
This is a fantastic group and this piece is beyond beautiful.
Many thanks!
0:42 is played so smoothly and soothingly by the brass 😍😍😍
A beautiful arrangement of a wonderful piece of music. Congratulations!
Just SUPERB!
3:40 just hits different ❤❤❤
6:46 the only time I played this our conductor told us to Imagine slow-motion herds of Buffalo running.
You guys have amazing tone. The trumpet at the beginning sounded like the oboe from the original
Absolutely wonderful
give me the brass everyday, thanks for loading this on here.
this sounds like october!!
Yes! "October" was the original name for the band version, and Eric Whitacre renamed it "Alleluia" when he rewrote it for chorus.
@@TheBarclayBrass ohhhh okkk

The Barclay Brass Hi, I’m very much interested in the sheet music!
Any update on purchasing this? I'd love to.
Purchase link is now above!
Too bad that the camera operator couldn't do a closeup on the euphonium and tuba players during their melodic parts of the composition.
Why does this remind me of “The Green Mile?”
Hey is this arrangement for purchase? If so where?
Purchase link is now above!
