My High School band was going to start rehearsing this before COVID hit and I was really excited. Hopefully I get another chance to play this at some point, awesome piece.
I'm now playing this in my orchestra. You need the tuba(s) to fill the sound, while the bass trombone provides the crisp attack. Without tuba's it sounds empty. As most of the time. Not a fan of combining with baritone sax though. Worst of both worlds.
I went to Duquesne with Sam Hazo. He hadn't yet decided he would be a composer. One of the hardest workers I knew. Played for a few summers in a clinic band for young conductors he would participate in. You can tell by his compositions he was a percussionist.
So jealous I wanted the solo so bad but there was a girl who was infinitely better than me... but we didn’t have an oboe player so I played the oboe solo at the end on flute 🥺
In measure 3, that B flat on the flute was shortened in the recording thanks to a guy who coughed in the audince. Michael Sweeny (the guy in charge of recording it) and Hazo shortned it with the Idea that people wouldn't go off of it.
I really love the recording Dr. Stamp did with the IUP Wind Ensemble, but there is also a phenomenal video of this piece performed by the German Wind Philharmonic on TH-cam. It might be my favorite recording just for the tuba section 😁
I just found your channel and I love it. If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t done any of maslanka’s works. If not, you could do Give us this day or Mother Earth. Or if you have some time, you find sink your teeth into something like his symphony no. 7. If I wasn’t a broke college student, I would love to support you on patreon. Anywho, I love what you do and hope you never have to stop.
currently we don't have the kind of following/patronage that doing a large work like a Maslanka Symphony would require. Even a 6.5 minute pieces like this required a week of work, so a symphony would probably take me a month or study, reducing, writing and recording program notes and editing the video all myself.

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic. I would really love to. I’ll be a working man in three years. So probably then. Until then I’m getting my degree and trying not to end up in debt.
YESSSSS another analysis of a concert band piece I’m quite familiar with! I always loved the part at m. 104, at around 5:00, always really resonated with me for some reason haha. Just out of curiosity, do you reference the score when making these reductions?
I’m not playing it for school but I really love it, going into eigth grade I got half of the first sheet I’m doing ok but this is so helpful so thank you
i searched it up, he is! His father's father was Assyrian and father's mother was Lebanese and his mother is full Lebanese. So it makes sense. Hazo is actually fully Middle Eastern (mostly Lebanese Arab).

Hope so!
Are you still in high school? are you in your senior year? If not, and your in uni are you in a band program?
Doing this song my senior year can’t wait
Bass Trombone just hits different on this one. So Goddamn Powerful.
Combined with tuba yes

for sure! that percussion bit is just 🤌💋
The flute solo looks like a little kid spammed a bunch of buttons on a music creation site and published it
nice, this one is like *everybody's* favorite, so good choice
Yeah I love this piece but need to do some pieces like this that will get ppl to find the channel.
i completely understand that
IM SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS PIECE! THIS IS MY FAVORITE CONCERT BAND PIECE!!!
did it just for you G unit! now get on patreon and give me a dollar. patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic
5:55 that one piccolo part (high note) right there is POWERFUL and I love it. It gives so much emotion
I got to play this piece as the solo flute and piccolo my freshman year. One of my favorite concert band pieces :)
How about those 32nd note runs! 😳
So jealous I wanted the solo so bad but there was a girl who was infinitely better than me... but we didn’t have an oboe player so I played the oboe solo at the end on flute 🥺
jesus how did you play this your freshman year you must be amazing
4:49 - 5:44 is the best minute of music I've ever listened to, it's literally so beautiful
I always forget just how cool the glock part is in this piece, especially at 2:54 and 5:30
Yeah the spot at 2:54 is awesome, just adds that extra shimmering layer that makes the big chords more impactful and keeps the rhythmic momentum going
In measure 3, that B flat on the flute was shortened in the recording thanks to a guy who coughed in the audince. Michael Sweeny (the guy in charge of recording it) and Hazo shortned it with the Idea that people wouldn't go off of it.
That powerchord in the end was a punch in the face, in the best possible way.
5:16 the anticipation of the I chord is unlike anything i've ever heard. Good piece.
One of my favorite Hazo pieces, thank you for doing this one!
That flute solo though was amazing
One of my favorites to perform
HS band 2010 ... I’m so thankful we got to play this. #Flute
I really love the recording Dr. Stamp did with the IUP Wind Ensemble, but there is also a phenomenal video of this piece performed by the German Wind Philharmonic on TH-cam. It might be my favorite recording just for the tuba section 😁
These score studies are so insightful, thank you!
Oh man I love this piece
LETS GOOO I LOVE THIS PIECE
Working harder than normally do, on the pic part!!!

ahh i love “give us this day”!
Give us this day is so fun
Cadenza for band
Im learning the beginning flute solo and it is really hard, Thank you Hazo

Ayyyyy this is my favorite! Nice job!

This was recorded by the 2008 NC 11-12 all state honor band.
Why did it take me until now to realize Samuel Hazo is Middle Eastern?
That explains why his arabesque sounds the most middle eastern to my Arab ears
i searched it up, he is! His father's father was Assyrian and father's mother was Lebanese and his mother is full Lebanese. So it makes sense. Hazo is actually fully Middle Eastern (mostly Lebanese Arab).
Surprised this isn't a dubstep yet, guess I've got work to do
Well i now know what im suggesting to my bd for wind ensemble next year
Edit: he said no because “its too easy”
what instrument are you on?
Hey! For your next score study, could you do Silence Overwhelmed by Brian Balmages?
what notation software is this
Finale
You should do KHAN by Julie Giroux

1:30, 1:59
It’s not double harmonic tho
thus the 'kinda' after the description, close to it but not exactly since the 7th is lowered (Bb not B nat)
@@AnthonyOTooleMusic Would it be a Phrygian Dominant scale - 5th mode of a harmonic minor scale?
