Pini di Roma Ottorino Respighi / arr. Nefs The University of Texas Wind Ensemble Jerry Junkin, conductor 2022 TMEA Convention Performance, San Antonio, Texas February 11th, 2022
I was there! Lined up literally 2 hours before the concert started because … I just knew lol and I was right the line was hella long. And I didn’t lose my spot during my bathroom breaks! Phenomenal performance though. I was speechless and that’s next to impossible for me. I wept like a child over my late night IHOP dinner lol
Me too! It was my first time ever hearing the UT Wind Ensemble in person. Something about being in the front row with all of that sound and a direct view of Junkin's conducting genuinely changed me as a person. I will never forget the drive home and how inspired I felt.
I remember hearing people say how the line snaked all the way to the registration area… and snakes some more. I only saw part of the line. Thanked my lucky stars I lined up 2 hrs ahead of time.
Oh them Cavvies. They totally changed the way I want to hear the horn countermelody in the finale. Those sustained notes adding extra power to the horn rip is what got me.
Is this the go to transcription of this piece these days versus the Duker one that has been played for decades? It seems like all the newer performances use this transcription
No...I think the Duker is a bit better. There is a certain sparkle missing in this transcription. I say this with some experience having performed this transcription several times and transcribed Fest Romane for the US Marine Band.

This was the best band concert I have ever attended. I had so many goosebumps by the end of this performance. Truly incredible.
An unforgettable night, I have not been moved by a piece as much as I was then. Amazing.
Tremendous performance!
Such an amazing performance! 👏🏻👏🏻
Stunning.
Splendid!
I was there, lucky to get in. The best performance I’ve ever seen!

So... no view of the antiphonal brass choirs in the back of the hall?
and no mention of the fact that the entire antiphonal brass was the cavaliers hornline
@@josephemerson4559 No kidding, right? A real failure to get some good publicity here.

The close up of that triangle player, tho. LOL.
