Discovery Plus Concert Band - Grade 2
The music of Queen has endured for decades and become a part of pop music culture. Often used in movies or commercials, this signature rock anthem can now be enjoyed by younger players. This arrangement proves that rock music can demonstrate musicality and teaching value.

I'm playing this for a band Festival. Clarinet gang 👊
S colors ;p much love for clarinets too ❤️
@@manroopturna4120 thx! I'm really nervous to play this at a concert... I suck ;-; ehh
Pink Lemonade US TOOOOO
Update: my concert went well 😀
I got into a band. We only had a week to learn this and three other pieces until the concert, but we did it! Definitely recommend this one. Was super fun to play and sounds great.
Clarinet btw.
What number? I am playing the 2nd part (CLARINET) for my concert, along with 2 others, and we also have a week to learn all 3.
Great arrangement! I loved the bell tones in the trumpets, and the horn parts were beautiful. It's great that younger musicians can now experience first hand the magic and amazement of Queen and Freddie Mercury. Thank you for sharing!
This is a really nice arrangement considering it is a Grade 2 piece. I loved it!
Who says Grade 2? I'd have thought Grade 3. But don't know the yardsticks.
@@gracegorman642 look at description.
Hardest grade 2 stuff I’ve ever seen then
@@jah.morant grade 2 in Music means middle school level. The grading is 1-4. 4 Being The hardest stuff ever. 3 being high school level. 1 Being beginner. And 2 being Middle School/Junior High
@@jah.morantThe great locomotive chase?
i played this years ago, still gives me the chills every time I hear it
So excited to play this for our end of year showcase! DOUBLE BASS!
1 more week....
7 more days from today...
if anything, more like 6 and a half... the concert is at 11 m. its around 11 pm as we speak.
words cant describe how excited and amazed i am at what were doing saturday...
may 22nd. that sounds crazy, huh?
4 more days. it feels less surreal than before for some reason?
@@pandyy wow
3 years ago since your concert huh? time really flies by ❤
@@yeetral omg memory unlocked tysm 😭😭
@@pandyy XD ikr yw
this makes me so sad my band teacher teaches us this and his retiring this year and his just a good teacher and it makes me sad because i have another year to go and i can’t do it without him
Playing this at a concert in a week, love it.
Keep it coming with Queen
We’re playing this for our pop culture concert, trombone gang where you at?
0:52
I love that transition!
The comment sections were so... amazing in those days.
In any case, I thought this video was fantastic.
Where mi clarinets at ‼️
That's Malia here!!
Right here!! :)
Hey girl hey
Right where u need and want em!
Right here!
i wanna play this in band so bad!!!! its a great song and it sounds amazing like this
3:37 This is my favorite part where the clarinets play. It's so peaceful. But I could hear their keys clicking so loudly, and it kinda ruins it. In my band, you can't even hear the clarinets.
As a Clarinetist, I agree. We are barely ever heard, unless its a solo, but even then it's never a solo, just us and the flutes, maybe an oboe. I remember once when we had an ocarina in one of our songs.
@@vmithrandirjr9162 As a trumpetist I agree. The clarinet is such a beautiful and underrated instrument. I totally loved it and wished I could buy someone one day
For real, in my band, my teacher would tell us clarinets to quiet down, meanwhile the trumpets and alto saxes are playing so much louder ( no offense to trumpets and sax )
@@moisty_cow622 skill issue. But I'm all seriousness, us saxes really are very very loud due to us being able to push air through the horn very easily and the fact that our horn points directly up and out 😂
We have 8….
This was my absolute FAV to play!!!! 🎺
Ah, yes. Just skip the 2 guitar riffs of the song that make it THAT much better.
Edit: I get this was made for middle schoolers but still.
Untreated Anxiety they have to fit into a time limit.
Our ensemble's Alto Saxophone player asked our band director if we could just slot one in somewhere, because why not?!
I wasn't too keen, and neither was our director.
I had a different version. The FULL version. and it had that in there. And i got to play it as a bass clarinet solo. MOST EPIC BAND MOMENT EVER
@@mr.orange9481 OML I WOULD PAY FOR THAT
@@mr.orange9481 is it on youtube
I'm so glad my band teacher likes Queen, he'll probably let us play it if I email him this link
Loved playing this back in eighth grade to bad that our concert was canceled due to covid I wanted to play this at a concert so badly.
My school band is playing this for our spring concert, which, YAY! This is the best song ever, but also we might not have a spring concert anymore due to COVID-19 so... :'(
i am playing this with my band and i love it
We’re going to be playing this in band soon. My band teacher is so cool!
Can’t wait to play this!!
Crazy little thing called love for jazz and this for concert? What's next bohemian rhapsody for jazz?
OH now i recognise the piece. my seniors were playing this early this year.
I remember playing this back in 8th grade, good times
I want my band to play this
aboiiking , YOU SHOULD!! my school band is playing it once the music arrives to my teacher :)
Omg this is one of my county band songs!!
That was crazy❤❤❤
They took out the best part!
i’m in love with queen now thanks to my band teacher. i never even knew who they were-
At band camp we played this and it sounded AWESOME
We are playing this in my school for one of our concerts in 7th grade ❤️
Very Nice Song
God I played this freshman year, and lemme tell you: the recorded audio doesnt do it justice. Maybe my band director is just really cool, but it sounded killer. Like there was waaaaaaaay more emotion and variation in tempo and dynamics. It just felt expressive.
Which one?
This is so real.
we get to play this at our school!!!!
I play trumpet 2 on this song my band teacher decided not to play it anymore after a few days of practicing it but I still practice at home and I love this song sm on trumpet🖤
i played this last year and i miss playing it sm
It was the last song I played for band in 8th grade last year cus I quit for football in 9th. I miss band a lot especially playing this song a lot to😭
omg i remember this for my 6th grade band performance omggg
The Sunderland Youth Orchestra and I are playing this! 😃😃😃 It’s totally different to the arrangement I played with them a few years ago and it’s quite a doozie! 😱😱😱😱
we are playing this tomorrow at our band concerttttt
Playing this for my school’s year end concert
3:03 You left out the rock part, which is the main resolution. It's like leaving out the recapitulation of a sonata.
i need to get our band to play this
Very good and nice music
Trop bien, la musique est génial ❤
It feels like a royal castle hurriedly preparing for a new royal couple to enter the Palace Disney style
So I’m currently in the 7th grade in a more advanced band for my grade I also play clarinet as well and my band teacher let me practice this piece even though it’s a 8th grade piece and now I’m tempted to beg her to let us play it next year!!😂
So glad that the horns finally have a main chorus part lol
I need to get my band director to agree to letting us play this song!
Mines already playing it lmao
This is fantastic!
Where my Alto Saxes at🤗
Here
YO
Right here 😀
Right here boi
Destiney C yooooo🎷🎷

I love playing this piece with my band class
I play the Cr. Cymbal and the Mark Tree on this song
Percussion btw

Were playint this for our spring concert
We're playing this for 2 concerts
I'm the only trombone pls wish me luck
howd it go
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro magnifico
(I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me)
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mamma mia, mamma mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
We know already
I like this song a lot. My band is playing it for our Spring Concert
Jose Pozas same
@@josepozas1373 cvms
Lol tenor saxophone music is right in front of me and I’m like how fast do we play dis?! But school is off so I can’t ask my teacher oof
homie same im a tenor to and that's why I came here
No Brian May guitar solo :’(
Birch Tree could be too hard for band
Or the rock part😭😭
NO PIANO THO
Ginnia 456 would only be two hard considering this is a grade 2 piece. Give it to grade 3.5-4 players and they could easily accomplish it
I convinced my band director to let our band try playing this for our next performance!
I get to play this for my spring concert
I played this when i was in 7th grade!!
I love this song. I'm playing timpani and it cool
Great arrangement !!!!
trumpet !💞
Freddy mercury is a legend
is true !!!!!
I'm in 6th grade and playing this for a concert km scared but this is helping tons
I'm sure you will do great!
Same
flutes!!
Playing this as a trombone was d
So much fun
OMG I PLAYED THIS FOR MY HONER BAND LAST YEAR AND I WAS 2ED CLARINET
THIS IS AMAZING
Learning to conduct this piece as part of my band class in highschool, a lil difficult bc im a drummer and cant read music😭😭
Bar 86 and 87 are the banes of my existence, the rit really messes me up😭😭
Trombone for life
I wish we had this arrangement for band, we got the one that literally doesn't even sound like Bohemain Rhapsody.
Not too bad. The times of the notes and the tempo should have more variation though. Sounds like a midi playthrough.
you gotta remember though, this was written for Middle Schoolers.
@@thebananaman1895 This was written for a 2nd grade band I thought
@@robbtheslobb its a grade 2, but thats just the difficulty. 2nd is like middle school, for example, and im in high school now playing grade 4s. It only goes up to 6 or 7 i think
@@rtmys i play leveel 4 andd im in 6th gradee..... but theen my teacher made us play this because we took such a long break ( covid)
been wait for this to be published forever. did this arrangement 2 years ago
Just played this in my concert today
Oh hey nice
We are playing this for my schools spring concert
I play saxophone 🎷
The saxophone part sucks, it's so boring
I'm also playing it for my spring concert but I play the percussion
I just played this on May 14th
Any 🎺
Were playing this ‘it’s a challenge but it so much fun
We're playing this in May.
Good luck!!
@@immortalwitch Yeah, and our arrangement is actually arranged by our band teacher, and she included EVERYTHING that was in the original recording, INCLUDING the rock section of the piece.
@@R4V3NOfficial that might be hard to play but this song is a masterpiece and legend. I'm very envy since you can play it with your band😢
@@immortalwitch Yeah. But our band has a major chance in getting the highest rank in the state band festival for the first time in program history. We're THAT talented this year.
@@R4V3NOfficial WOW seriously good luck. My band also will face a big competition this July. It's such a pressure since we won last year and ppl are expecting higher. I hope the best for you😆💪
we got to play this at our spring concert lol
That music reminds me of back in 1900's of Disney.
my band director said that if we sweep at our uil band comp we could play this at a concert
When I played this at my final band concert (I play alto sax and I'm in concert band) and when the instruments get to the 'mama' part (now, my band teacher really likes this song), those instruments have to stand. I'm pretty sure so the audience could hear 'mama' part, but I can't remember. When the altos gotten to the 'mama' part and stood, around the middle or the end, I look at the audience and I saw my mom and she lifted her glasses (since she has reading glasses) and I thought she saw me. Me, trying to keep a poker face, failed to do so and broke out smiling. I was half expecting my teacher the next day to ask me why I was smiling but didn't. I don't think she even notice me smile.
my band played this at the end of the year concert
the flutes at 2:27 sound so peaceful, has to be my favourite part
