I'm excited because I remember hearing this piece performed at a festival but forgot the name of it and couldn't find it. When you announced this it finally came back to me! :D
i like his music but why must it be so hard to play?? and yes, im only saying this bc im salty about my band director making us play summer dances for wind ensemble
I like the Adam gorb pieces that I’ve heard including this one, but the way he writes the percussion parts is kinda weird. it’s like he only lets like two instruments play at once, and everyone else just has fields of rests. Regardless, the percussion soli is actually really awesome in my opinion
Played this in uni band! The perc score is so dumb - all the parts are written on the same score and as a result you have to do like 50 page turns which doesn't gel well with how frenetic the music is.
lol same with Ellerby's Paris Sketches, also available through Maecena's Music. Great work, but the percussion scores have an unnecessary amount of complexity in the way they are organized.
@@kendallperry9247 The worst one I've ever come across is Dan Welcher's Zion; awesome piece but the percussion parts have some of the worst allocation I've ever seen, there are 6 or 7 parts I think, and each player plays every instrument and has to switch stations maybe 20 or so times in a 10m piece, if I ever play that again I'm just going to rewrite the parts
how do you make your videos sound so realistic? do you have actual people playing this or is it a computer program? i wrote a song and i’m trying to make it sound as realistic as possible for a recording but it’s just not the same as a band playing it!
This a recording by the University of Georgia Wind Ensemble, not a mock-up of the piece in a sequencing program. If you want your music to sound 'real-er' than I'd suggest Vienna Winds or some other kind of high-end sample library. Hope this was helpful.
Briefly studied with Adam last year at RNCM, truly a fantastic composer and teacher
Playing this for my high school’s wind ensemble for festival!! Horn 3. SO EXCITED!!
Such a hard but great piece. -1st Clarinet player
Played this last school year for my HS Wind Ensemble's trip to ILMEA All-State. Very fun piece, but very difficult (Clarinetist).
Fantastic reduction! I wish there was more piano parts written for Concert Band and Wind Symphony songs, I love the sound of really low piano.
this piece relies a lot on the low piano and the bass!

looney1023 glad you help!
YESSSS! A killer piece and a killer reduction. Congrats on another awesome video man!
Thanks, I got more in the pipeline that I'll be editing and uploading in August.
Fabulous
He did achieve a very "American" sound
yes, indeed!
I was going to play this for festival but my band couldn’t
zackmaster 79 sorry about that man, maybe you’ll get to play it in the future
god this is hard to count lol
at times, yes
Love this piece! Did you miss two whip hits the measure before Rehearsal 41?
they aren't in the score. I think they were added in the recording
Interesting, well I like it anyway. More slapstick always ok in my book
@@disneysextremeskateadventure I'm cool with the extra slaps

Anyone else get a sense it was inspired a little by chameleon?

James .m Im a percussionist and ive played this piece, the percussion part is pretty terrible. I just memorized it, essentially.

@@kendallperry9247 yeah, I'm note a fan of their percussion layout either

He plays a recording and syncs it up with his score reduction
