Masterpiece … absolutely brilliant !!
I got to perform this piece when it was still in Manuscript with Clifton Williams on a Young American Musicians Abroad trip to Central Europe. This is the first time I have heard it since. I am getting goose bumps listening to this. WOW. He was as good a man as he was a composer. I miss that experience so much. My only trip to Europe. what an experience. Thanks for this video. The tympani was the heartbeat.
I'm just discovering Clifton Williams. Great stuff!
The last two notes were the most peaceful, perfectly played notes I've ever heard.
Heather Hanzlik - Your grandfather's compositions touch my heart. I played Caccia and Chorale many times during my tenure at UWSP under the baton of Donald E. Greene - DEG - who also gave me away when I got married.
A stunning performance of a highly emotional work ... emotional on a number of fronts, including the "back story" of this particular work. Now, 50 years after it was written, it remains among the finest wind works in the repertoire.
My favorite Clifton Williams piece! Thank you for this!
Clifton Williams had a strong relationship with my high school in Miami ... Sadly he passed away before I was there.
This piece has several interesting things in it... Such as at the end of the Caccia, the woodwinds are playing Morse Code - the initials of the band director for whom this piece was written.
Gables!

Magnificent.. this is a great piece of music .. I love this .. thank you US Marine Band
I know Cliftons

Horn Section...Nice Job
Nicely done. The woodwind cantabile at 4:28-5:16 is some of the finest band literature ever written and they did it very well here.
What an immense blessing your musical artistry has been through this challenging time for our nation and the world. The best from the world’s greatest nation. Many thanks.
Great job Marines!
So Good!
This is incredibly expressive. Thank you for posting.
Fantastic woodwind blend and facility.
4:25 this is for me
Congratulações!!
Gostaria de ouvir Tico Tico no fubá....
Nice English Horn.

The hardest part of this piece is to get the Morse Code section correct. In this recording, it happens right before the 3-minute mark. A friend of mine played the premier of this piece from manuscript, conducted by Clifton Williams himself, and Williams explained that the moving part in the upper winds around the 3-minute mark were Morse Code for the initials of a dear friend of his, and should be played as such.
Normally, the Marine Band gets everything perfect. In this piece, they get the rhythm is correct, but the phrasing is not correct in that section of the piece.
Sounded fine to me, just enjoy the piece and don't pick it apart.
@@GLC-1979 - well, the problem is that the passage in question was of particular concern to Clifton Williams, the composer. It was so important to him that it be play correctly that he explained to the band what he was trying to do, the importance of it, and worked with them repeatedly until they got it right. That's not nitpicking - that is being true to the composer's instructions.
Ahh but do you know who that friend was?
(FYI, I'm Clifton Williams' granddaughter)
@@heatherhanzlik - "D" - "E" - "G" stands for Donald E. Greene.
Yes! We played this in High School over 40 years ago. Our director shared this with us and it made so much difference in our playing. Such an emotional piece of music when you understand it.
