I remember I watched this video more than 3 years ago, before I started playing a brass instrument. This inspired me so much! This video in particular is one of only a few youtube videos that convinced me to buy a trumpet and start doodling. This solo was the 2nd thing I figured out how to play (although an octave down loll). 3 years later and I've come so far, now I'm playing this piece on 2nd cornet in a big concert band! I'm so incredibly happy that I've found my big passion, the brass family:)
The brass section is always the best. In 1970 as a student at the University of Akron's Firestone Conservatory of Music I played euphonium and had the honor of being part of the brass ensemble. I will remember the performances I was part of with fondness until the day I die.
Hi friends, please do us a big favor by liking and sharing this cool new arrangement by Drew Fennell. Enjoy and have a great rest of the week peeps! Ps. it's a baritone in second mvt, silly typo :D
Hi Matonizz, I recently just graduated high school and I played Euphonium for 8 years. I had the honor to play solos including Nessun Dorma, Shenandoah, and O Magnum Mysterium. You’re my inspiration for me to push myself to become the player I am, and you continue to inspire me to play now, even after school.
we played this is class a few years ago, and the teacher let me play trumpet on Dives and Lazarus, I had to play quiet though, to not overpower the wind players.
Also I honestly never thought I'd get a chance to have a chat with the person that inspired to play music so while I'm here figured I'd say that so honestly thank you so much for all of the videos you post. :)
Matonizz, how do you get everyone in the ensemble to match so clearly? It sounds as though everyone is playing the same instrument in different registers!
Hi John, you need to have a click track set up with subdivisions for tempo changes, have good quality recording with the takes that match articulation and dynamics as well as mixing so the correct parts are highlighted when they're supposed to. Same process in any professional recordings outside of live performances which is unfortunately not an option at the moment. Hope this answers the questions friend :)
@@John_Chow Arranger (Drew Fennell) records first couple of tracks which indicates what articulation, dynamics and note lengths we need to establish in our practice and later on recordings. Publishing this is usually 4-6 weeks of work from arranging to recording to putting everything together later on.
We played this for UIL (the band version of course) and I wasn't that big of a fan of it as my part (Bass Trombone,) kinda sucked. However this arrangement is great, but is still missing the Bass Bone sadly

Anyone else love the way Drew Fennell sounds on the cornet and flugel?! My God it's beautiful!
Nice of you to say. Thanks!
Wow, I forgot this existed! When I used to play back in high school, this was one of my favorites
This reminds me so much of Holst's 1st and 2nd suites
You're so right, especially the second movement of his first suite.
Some great music. Really helps during the quarantine
I absolutely adore performing this work.
Thank you all for such a awesome performance!!

Genuinely some of the best and smoothest brass playing I have heard.
Wow, that's great. Bravo.
Amazing
This is a beautiful piece of music
Awesome!

I literally played this last year. So much nostalgia!
Hell yes! beautifull playing right here, i have played it myself. i played the marching snaredrum part. Loved to play it! Well done, keep on rocking!
Great arrangement!
Fantastic, very good job, congratulations.
This is amazing!
Quite a fluffy sound, very nice :)
I played this at my first ever contest in a brass band over 8 years ago when I was 12 here in the UK - brings back memories lol
I played tuba for this song in HS. Loved the tuba/euph solo in dives and Lazarus
Good stuff!
I was a brass player and brass is the best. Especially low brass.
Heh, we were going to play this song for a competition in high school.... then corona happened, but hey it was fun learning this song
This is just amazing:)
brass is 1000% the best section! I know that for a fact because I used to be a woodwind lol
I am getting massive Suite in F vibes. Is it just me??
we played this is class a few years ago, and the teacher let me play trumpet on Dives and Lazarus, I had to play quiet though, to not overpower the wind players.
You mean woodwind players? Brass are wind, too
@@ItsMe-ic5oc right, yea I meant woodwind.
Facts
I play tuba lol
Amazing music but I'm just curious what type of euphonium do you use?
Thanks friend, it's John Packer 274s in this video :)
Ok another question. What are your thoughts on the wessex dulce?
Also I honestly never thought I'd get a chance to have a chat with the person that inspired to play music so while I'm here figured I'd say that so honestly thank you so much for all of the videos you post. :)
Who's the horn player in this?

Matonizz Thanks, one more question. How do you decide more lengths?
Note lengths**

Matonizz That’s amazing! Thanks so much!
What is this song called?
English folk song suite by Ralph Vaughan Williams
We played this for UIL (the band version of course) and I wasn't that big of a fan of it as my part (Bass Trombone,) kinda sucked. However this arrangement is great, but is still missing the Bass Bone sadly
YES! BRASS IS BETTER THAN WOODWINDS!!!!!!!!!

They can be both
