I played this at a band camp I went to in seventh grade, and I just found the music for my part again. I'm a senior now, and Frank Ticheli is actually one of my favorite composers (we played Angels in the Architecture and Vesuvius in my band last year, are playing An American Elegy this year and played Vesuvius in District Band, AND we're singing one of his choral pieces in choir) and it just blew my mind to know that I actually played a piece by him years before I really knew who he was :)
I had been playing Clarinet for 3 years and when I entered high school, this was the first peace I thoroughly enjoyed playing throughout all 4 years. Thank you Mr. Ticheli.
I loved playing this one! I may have been soloing on Clarinet 3, but goddamn I think I rocked it. If you're ever soloing a part, do what your director says but also get out on that stage and own that part, because it is yours and yours to make your own.
Read this a couple of times in my high school band over the past week. We played Blue Shades last year, and ever since then Ticheli has just stood out to me as a fantastic composer. Great song.
My band teacher always accelerated too much at the last part of the song. It made it fun to play and added a bit of mystery and more of a "finale" feeling.
Dear percussion, pray for your fellow fallen brother who was put on Timpani for two pieces during festival season... (This piece and a march) (yeah, that's right, I suck at Timpani.) #rip
I love this piece.!!!! I'm in 7th grade and I play the clarinet, but I made the Jr high wind ensemble, so I'm mixed with alot of 8th graders and were just starting this piece! :)
I love the way our band plays it XD And we only have 1 french horn and 1 bass clarinet.. 6 clarinets. 4 flutes. 2 altos. 1 barry. 1 sax. about 8 trumpets. 4 barintones. 2 tubas and 2 trombones and awesome percussion :) I hope we do amazing in the uil preformance :) Wish us luck :D
I play B phlat tenor saxophone on this song it is a great piece I can finally master this song with only 1 year of experience on te saxophone. Great song love it
there is a yearly thing at my school called "continuum" which is a huge concert the week before summer where all of the band comes together and plays a huge preformance with acting and music and the band is the cast and last years theme was magic, this was the first song we played. Its really a load of fun, I hope you like the piece.
I am in both the concert and symphonic band at my school, and both classes are doing a Frank Ticheli piece. Abracadabra is the one we are playing in concert, and to be honest it is a lot more fun to play than Fortress, the one we are playing in symphonic band!!!
Our band director happens to know frank tichelli. He said he goes to starbucks every thursday night to talk to him. Joshua, frank tichelli's son, takes karate lessons across the street. :D
I was playing flute for this song. One of the most memorable songs I have ever played.(:
I play trombone for this song. Forgettable asf:(
Oboe friend, very memorable
These are the types of songs that never get old even if you listen to it all the time
I can see why my directors pick this 🔥🔥 low brass goes hard
This is a beautiful song and I like how he dedicated this song to his son any French horns out there 🎼🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶
XD
the horn life on 🔥??
🙋
French horn here
aliya right here. Lead horn
Remember playing this, the Bass clarinet part is very interesting. We bounce off flutes in the beginning of the piece.
Mhmmm yeah I’m playing it now , with my school band
@@chanelbourrier95612 Nice, which part you playing?
@@crystalcolden9158 wdym , we are playing the whole piece , if you meant instruments, then bass clarinet 😍

i also do clarinet 3
I am about to do this for my band as 3rd clarinet along with one other person lol
Dang soloing it must’ve been really difficult; amazing job
Read this a couple of times in my high school band over the past week.
