The nice thing about Holst is that when he wrote for orchestra, he couldn't help but also kind of write for band too.
I just learned that today. As I listened, I was surprised by how well this piece fit this band's sound.
It competes well with full orchestra performances.
He wrote two suites for wind band and 'A Moorside Suite' for Brass Band which he later transcribed for both wind band and orchestra. Gustav Holst was one of Britain's finest composers and it fills me with joy that his works are appreciated the world over
@@bradrouillier4458 Holst’s greatest work for band is Hammersmith.
I believe Holst was a trombonist due to a hand issue.
an orchestrra is a lot more than strings
I DO NOT EVEN MISS THE STRINGS HOW DID THEY ACCOMPLISH THIS
It's too wispy, they perform the same notes but can't quite fill a room the same way a strings section would in this piece. Winds always thinking they're louder than they really are.
Didn't expect you to be here lol.
@@nickpropst4938 wind records weird I’m sure it way more in person
The look that trumpet player gets at 2:13 is priceless.
Stephen Putnam He messed up in the first beat
James Fulkerson He misplayed a note. Not something you'd expect from this quality of band, but it happens to the best of us I guess.
Great ear
Also at the very end the trumpet held out too long and you can tell the conductor was about to strangle them off stage
That last note that trumpet held over just a tad and she looked PISSED 😂 that was such a beautiful piece, extremely hard to play. I love this band. ❤️ I’m auditioning for the Marine Corps Band within the next few weeks, my goal is to play with these phenomenal musicians one day.
Ayy congrats if you made it? How goes USMC?
I had a close association with the band a few years back and I can tell you that sloppy playing and careless mistakes are not tolerated. Screw up once too often and you find yourself playing fourth chair whatsit in the Marine Motorpool Band at the Clam Point Maine Air Station.
Good luck bro
@@omniryx1 Not true.
That last trumpet note holdover is something of a performance tradition among trumpeters. The conductor began her Marine Band career as a trumpet player, and probably knows this.
the sound of bass trombones
*Trombones
Jaime Ramirez I believe there is only one.
Andrew Vu the sound of all trombones are fantastic in my opinion
absolutely brilliant. Have never heard a wind Orchestra play it this fast
Yea, too fast. What was the hurry? Slow down!!
Will Amouzou my high school band is a wind orchestra and we played it this fast :/
@@elliotgov This fast AND this well
@@charleyhibschweiler4555 well we played it for cmeas and got all "superior" so
@@elliotgov I'm sure it was very good, but let's be realistic, a high school ensemble won't play as well as "The President's Own" which is one of if not the best band in the world.
This sounds like THE most epic introduction to a globally televised sporting event!
Miroslav Georgiev for a moment i thought you were ksi because the profile picture the color and kinda the face
in the 1980s this is what opened the news bulletins on MBC in korea
I listen to this all the time because it's my favorite piece out of the entire suite. Then again, isn't it everyone's?
It's hard to choose between this and Neptune, honestly.
I like Mars the best Jupiter’s my second favorite
this or mars
Venus is my favorite. So serene. This is second. Coincidentally, my astrological sign corrosponds to Venus.
That much is true
Conductor had a look of "Why did you screw up the trumpet solo......, they were only 8th notes..." =)
Where did the trumpet mess up?
At the 2:12 mark, there is a trumpet solo there, he had small kerfuffle and the conductor had a brief look, just pause it and you will see it =)
all I know is that he's dead now
It's funnier when you realize that the conductor used to be one of the main trumpet players of this band herself before she became assistant director.
Trumpet players, and I'm one, only frack it up when it is obvious as hell.
This my favorite movement from The Planets
One of my favourite Euphonioum parts to date "make it sing "
It’s the instrument l played when I was in the School Band.
Your comments pages should be filled with amazement and wonder, as kids listen to this!
wait
This might just be me, but the way that the conductor holds her baton at 4:05 is spectacular! Opening both hands gives the conducting such a choral feel which serves the music so well!
2:36 blows me away, the bands articulation and precision gives me goosebumps. I smiled along with the director 🔥🔥
4:23 easily my favorite part
StarScout it sounds relaxed yet so powerful at the same time
im playing that part for my band class right now. i love it. - flute.
The whole chorale has this grandness that makes me think of marching band every time. We just started bringing it back but I imagine I’ll cry by senior year by hearing it
isnt it everyones?
I played this in High School (and Copland's Buckaroo Holiday too), our band had no strings. These are the first recordings I've seen without strings (other than the bass), it REALLY brings back joyful memories. VERY well played, and thank you! Also, my family and I got to see the Commandant's Own at the State Fair of Texas a few years ago......what a treat!
Freshman in the top band at my high school, we’re playing this for our February concert
Edit: I play French horn and my favorite part is the little German movement towards the beginning
My favorite classical flourish ending of all time.
Thanks TH-cam for recommending this to me again! Semper Fi!
A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE BY OUR VERY OWN UNITED STATES MARINE BAND! I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU SUPERBLY TALENTED MUSICIANS!!! BRAVO!!!
That first note with the full band... Amazing
Absolutely spectacular. Sounds great.
What an amazing sound! What an amazing conductor! Bravo!!
The beginning is so clean!! We’re doing this in our hs wind ensemble this year!
Well played, U.S. Marine Band. Please, however, notify your videographers that they could occasionally show the horns when they are featured in the score, for example at 1:40 (when the Major quickly goes back to conducting the low brass) or at 2:11 when a little figure in the cornet gets all the attention. → A former Navy bandsman, just sayin'.
38 horn players agree! :)
God that sucks. Barley any recognition I feel. The horns deserve more like holst would've wanted.
Beautiful blend and great tempi! Bravo/Brava!
3:07 Lyrics:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Tony Barde This is my favorite hymn.
@@mjackstewart Mine too RIP HRH Prince Philip Mountbatten Windsor, Duke of Edinburgh

This wonderful performance speaks to the soul, and unrivaled
This group is truly the best of the best. I don’t remember ever hearing a better band. Gorgeous tone, perfect intonation and fantastic blend,.
I heard this song the first time as it was played in the movie The Right Stuff. Ever since then, I've explored Holst's "The Planets" with great joy.
Hell yeah!! Nice work!
The United States Marine Band absolutely killed it. If you're looking for an example of sonority, look no further. Listen to the brass from 2:36 to 2:46. How is that even possible? They are musical super heroes and possess special powers, that's how.
The perfection and unsurpassed excellence of the President’s Own ….
Best thing I’ve ever heard
Fantastic!
Condução perfeita. Anderson, Espirito Santo, Brazil.
My school just started learning this!!!!!
Definitely one of the most accurate, and rhythmically accurate bands in the world!!
Definitely a little bit of a tear at the beginning, if it were a studio recording they would have started over. The band is great, but I would have loved to see a cleaner recording. Ah well, back to Stars and Stripes.
3:07 this chorale is amazing
Reminds me of the Senior Wind Ensemble (“Band 8”) in high school.
Espetacular!
The planets is a Incredible beautiful lullaby of the universe
Cecil Spring Rice wrote words to the passage from this that have become a favorite British patriotic song. It is totally appropriate that a military band should play this so beautifully. The words from the poem are: The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best. Thanks Marine Band
HELL YEH GET SOME outstanding ........💖
Is there any way I can gain access to this particular arrangment? This is the most amazing one I've ever heard for wind ensemble!
As a freshman in h.s playing clarinet.1 hope i can be this good someday
Our high school Band is playing this version for our MPA ❤️😭
Soy brasileño del noreste de Brasil y he escuchado muchas bandas de música militares, muy bien sintonizadas para ningún músico a poner defecto, pero similar a la banda de Marina de los Estados Unidos, me parece que son pocas.
Bravo!
Like this conductor!
We’re reading this in band today (this exact arrangement too lol) I hope it goes well 👀
We’re either going to perform Jupiter or Mars for our end of year concert.
I’m a sucker for Venus tho, I love a good ballad, but our band program took a huge hit with Covid.
I feel like it will take years for most high schools to rebuild their band program
Anyone know where I could find this sheet music?
Is this a marine symphony band, I'm asking because you play a lot of songs originally played by symphonies.
It is the US Marine Band. Transcriptions of orchestral music for concert band have been a staple of band repertoire since the late 19th century. In the days before radio and phonographs, most Americans first heard the great works of Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, and Wagner from traveling concert bands, as they didn’t live near enough to a city to hear an orchestra.
2:38 im not an average slobber over thaxted person, this is easily my favorite part lol
The only thing i would do that came to mind watching the colors was maybe some white on the stands to complete the red white and blue color mixture....i think that will make the visuals stand out more to....combine with the music of course,,,,woooo,,,,i can close my eyes listen and then watch......kudos to all bands around the world
hi. I have recently played this piece in a concert with the Auburn university youth orchestra this month. I am trying to come up with a theme for our spring semester. have any suggestions? My next question goes out to the flute section. What should I do about the middle joint of my colored beginner's flute having a slight bend in it? I have already asked the band director at my school. He suggested that I let our school system's band representative take a look. I decided to ask around from other fellow musicians on youtube as well before I do anything to my flute and make any mistakes.
Aww, I sadly saw this late. I would've said a Pops Concert. How'd the concert go and what was the theme?
dont take advice from randos on youtube! listen to your directorrrrr
What has happened to this young lady conducting? I really like her demeanor on the podium. She is very talented! This is a recording that I have listened to often...an outstanding excecution and emotional performance by the greatest band in the world! Thank you.
I miss the cellos starting at 3:08, but otherwise, this amazing arrangement does the orchestral original justice.
Is it just me or does the principal trumpet have meh phrasing? Don’t get me wrong, he’s technically incredible (obviously tired chops), but during lyrical sections, he ends each note with a mini crescendo into and kinda “flicks” into the next note. It’s kinda distracting from the contour of the phrase.
It's just you.
Keith is correct, my friend. It is just you.
It's just you. Nobody else notices or cares.
Yeah...it’s just you.
Definitely just you, how do you even enjoy things when you're picking even a tiny mistakes on everything
Mars is my favorite.
5:47 was good
Anyone else notice that the double bass was bowing an originally pizzicato line? Hmmm...
Wow, every section sounds like one big instrument
The melody at 1:00, known as "Thaxted" was used by Gustav Holst as the music for the patriotic British anthem "I Vow to Thee, My Country".
This probably the hardest of all the planets next to Uranus
Wow - the brass sound tired! This must have been a huge program to tucker out these monster players to the degree that it's so noticeable. Still a masterful performance in so many ways.
My middle school band director is making us play this... Is sound so good and hard to play
3:08, we is playing this one for band, also i think 7:07
Is that a contra bass or contralto clarinet at 3:40?
Turner Sugg Contra bassoon
It is a contrabass clarinet, a contralto is a bit smaller.
Kason F got it. Thanks!
How come she doesn't look at the horns to cue at the big horn moments?
WHOA! What is that instrument on first row on the end to the right? SOMEBODY TELL ME!!! I gotta know. Is it a bass oboe?
Hannah the Musician english horn
Ohhhh...that explains it. I should've known it was an english horn. Thanks. The Community Band I play in had an english horn one time. I just can't believe I forgot that it was an english horn. D:
lmao can we PLEASE change "english horn" to "bass oboe" I would be so happy
Computer Crash Gaming dammit, and here I thought being in band would mean I know what i’m talking about
English Horn should really be called Alto Oboe.
Sometimes reminds me of Vaughan Williams "The Wasps", also some influences of Stravinsky...
Is there a score
An amazing performance and arrangement. Just a little disappointed that the double bassoon stayed on its stand in the slow low passage near the end. Ok my main instrument was bass trombone before I took up bassoon and your guy played with a great sound. But I still think the double bassoon would have added to the colour blend here, especially with the lack of low strings in a band. Loved it though, as I do all your performances.
指揮が分かりやすくて、好きです。英語がわかればなぁ〜
WHERE CAN I BUY THE SCORE FOR THIS ARRANGEMENT??? Please help me!!!!
Kenneth Tan they probably have an in house arranger for transcriptions like this one. I would root through JW pepper if they were to have got it elsewhere. That’s your best bet.
This is considered a transcription, not an arrangement. It's by Merlin Patterson. You can purchase it from his website. Jupiter is $225 and the whole suite is $850. www.merlinpatterson.com/content/view/12/26/
the change of tempo was impressive--but her medals!
From Sleepytime a Bluey episode
Score?
What is the player at the front to the conductor's right playing? It looks like an oversize oboe?
English horn..She is good. check her solo on Dvorak adagio from new world, also on you tube.
It is a bass oboe. Holst called for a very large orchestra, and also used many unusual instruments.
her look of disappointment at the trumpet player at the very end. XD XD XD
Finally, good horn parts for band! ... oh wait
The band kids all grown up
I expected nothing less of the marine band!
2:20
Why was the slow section taken so fast lol
I know, right? Nearly every recording I've heard has this same issue. Must be conductors' preference...
Also, the wind instruments in this band might not be able to sustain a note as long as the stringed instruments in a full orchestra, so they could be playing it faster to compensate...
@@InventorZahran I doubt it, these are the best of the best musicians
1:36 trumpet malfunction
6:51
lets appreciate the tubas low c
Thaxted at 3:12 thru 4:15 beautiful
Basil Pouledaris definitely borrowed a little from this.
🙏🏻🥺it’s far away from me with your 💗stress🥺🙏🏻to your anger😭.
DEEPAK CHOPRAS SISTER LOOK ALIKE ^_^
Ahhhh how i missed this, i applied for this a long time ago, but then i lost hope when they said id have to wait 10 yrs or more for a spot to open, hearing that young,.....well anyways...
Wow her face at 6:43
just amazing....but as a euphonium player - well, all the good parts are given to the horns!!! lol But it's hard to find any fault not only in the arrangement but in the great playing!
6:20
I feel like I am in a mystic universe to spread infinity
