We got the chance to play it my senior year of high school. Even had a couple kids learn how to make wine glasses sing. Had the swinging tubes and vocalist as well. We worked on this piece all school year. It was amazing and such a unique experience.
@@lukekiefer5964 I would be so unbelievably excited and happy, but like... if I screwed up on stage in front of Dr. Ticheli I might faint immediately lmao
Played this my sophomore year of high school, we played it for UIL aswell and one of the judges was left speechless(he said "im just gonna sit back and enjoy the performance") and it was truly amazing just hearing that from a judge because its hard to make a judge SPEECHLESS in a piece this difficult. Anyways this piece was sooo amazing and it was my favorite!!
Those tubes the percussionists are swinging around are really hard to keep going for minutes like they do here. We played this my senior year of highschool in my wind ensemble and I got to (had to?) play one of them. I'm not the strongest in upper body strength, but even the other two more muscular guys had trouble keeping it going. These guys seemed to do it rather flawlessly, and kept composure as well. Major props!!
those 'tubes' actually have a lot of names, i.e. the Whirly tube, the Corrugaphone, and the Bloogle Resonator. I'm not tryna be smart by correcting you or anything, it's just lil fun fact that i thought you lovely people might like!
12:03 God, that is just a face of pure ecstasy, bliss, and dreams coming true right there. Its very refreshing to see composers and conductors express their raw emotions as something they created is booming in front of them
I'm so excited to perform as the angel with my high school wind ensemble next Thursday. This piece has made me cry multiple times and I'm so blessed to be performing with such a talented group of students.
I remember playing this my Senior Year of High School, and then having my little solo at 10:08...definitely one of my favorite pieces of music that I played during my time as a Clarinet player
We played this last year in my high school Wind Ensemble, enjoy it while you can, I never realized how beautiful of a piece it was until after the last time i played it.
I’m in the middle level band at my school playing bass clarinet but my director wants me to play contrabass clarinet on this one with the Wind Ensemble. I’m only going to rehearse with them a few times. It’s a bit daunting having to practice this mostly without the rest of the group and without a director. I’m relying on this recording haha
A masterful rendition of Angels in the Architecture by The University of Texas Wind Ensemble! Frank Ticheli directing his spellbinding composition with a reverent fervor! The producer of this video gets an A+++ for using the video inset frame to allow viewing Mr. Ticheli and the vocal soloist while watching the entire ensemble...a coup for videography! Congratulations!
my high school band performed this last year, and we got superior ratings at our state festival. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to play in this, especially with the band I had.
I always find myself coming back to this piece every few months or so. I was a saxophone player in high school marching band, for my senior show a few years back our composer took inspiration from the first movement of Angels in some of our music and incorporated the very recognizable melodies all throughout the show. listening to this brings me such an unexplainable feeling of happiness, it reminds me of being a dorky high school kid and just having the best times with my friends. we would listen to this exact recording over and over at lunch during band rehearsal and discuss how we could work to make our music better. marching band was one of the best things in my life and I miss it so much. this piece will always have a special place in my heart. thank you, Frank Ticheli.
This has been my favorite piece of music since I first heard it years ago. I have listened to it countless times and each and every time I still can't stop smiling throughout the entire piece. Absolutely perfect.
bluedragonfire My favorite recordings are always UNT, they're seriously the best amateur ensemble in the world. Hell, I'd even say they could compete with a lot of pro bands.
My University Wind Ensemble is playing this right now and I am soooo stoked!! Easily the funnest and most beautiful piece I've played in a long time. I am obsessed with this.
Out of the countless concert band pieces I have performed over the years, this is easily in the top ten of pieces I would perform again in a heartbeat if I was able to.
Well, this is a wind ensemble. In a wind ensemble there is very little doubling so there would be mostly only one person playing each part. There is likely only one euphonium part (never seen more than 1 in years of study), so there would only be one euphonium
Frank Ticheli is my idol. I don't think you guys understand lol. I would love the opportunity to meet him! His music has inspired me so much, he is literally my idol. haha
+Ashley Fister Just met him the other day at a Western Michigan Symphonic Band concert he did as part of a clinic. Such a nice guy. I hope someday you get to meet him!
he conducted my youth wind ensemble today! it was such a great experience to meet such a great guy. he is the best conductor i have yet to come across. and i got a picture with him! plus his signature on his piece Vesuvius
+I Don't know (Huh) That's really cool! I had the opportunity to meet David Maslanka who composed Give Us This Day along with other pieces. I also met Mark Camphouse who composed pieces like Movement for Rosa and Watchman, Tell Us of the Night. I got a picture with both of them and Mark signed my copy of Watchman. It was a great experience
I'm a sophomore in high school and the symphonic band that's I'm in is playing this in 2 months. This piece is absolutely beautiful and contains such a story. We played Vesuvius last year which was really cool
Alex Kister - I’m a sophomore in the symphonic band at my school as well. The symphonic band isn’t playing this but the Wind Ensemble is and my director gave this to me and asked me to practice it so I could play it with them for their performance. I’m playing a contrabass clarinet on it and I’m pretty excited. Except the fact that I’m only going to be able to rehearse with them a few times. It’s gonna be hard learning the piece without a director and the rest of the band.
It's been a while since I listened to music for the musicality of it, but this got me back into it. Hearing this makes me realize how majorly my high school band slaughtered it. Sounded like they were rooting more for the evil side.
Yes kind of. 12:48 is in heaven after the battle, and 13:02 is the joyful contentment of the angels, who defeated the demons. ...Or so they think. (1-5 chords in the brass invade the piece at the ending, leaving it open to interpretation, like in a "...or did they?" kind of way
Haha, there's one of those at the very end of Also Sprach Zarathustra, too! "Or did they?" The entire symphony is great. Shame few ever listen beyond where Kubrick stopped. Hopefully one day I can bring forward Ticelli in film the way Kubrick did Richard Strauss.

i love this piece. the only thing that could be better with this particular recording that i can tell right now is the vocals in the beginning. they were way too soft, could barely hear. other than that these are magnificent performers!
![Ticheli - Angels In The Architecture [Score]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ypwIrE8WoJc/mqdefault.jpg)
can we just talk about what an honor it would be to not only play a piece written by Frank Ticheli, but also be conducted by him as well
As someone who has played several of his pieces, to include this one, I agree with you
We got the chance to play it my senior year of high school. Even had a couple kids learn how to make wine glasses sing. Had the swinging tubes and vocalist as well. We worked on this piece all school year. It was amazing and such a unique experience.
@@wagyuPatties looked this up to reminisce about performing this piece with Slater! Hope you're well!
Imagine the pressure
Hes a really nice conductor
This is the best version of this piece I've heard so far. There are parts in here that I never hear in any other version.
That's because few other versions have the composer himself adding parts five years down the line.
Well that is what happens when Ticheli conducts his own music
I was going to say the same thing!
Brennan Ruiz Can you imagine the pressure as a college student to have to play this complicated piece for the legendary composer of this song?
@@lukekiefer5964 I would be so unbelievably excited and happy, but like... if I screwed up on stage in front of Dr. Ticheli I might faint immediately lmao
Frank looks like he's in an epic lightsaber battle
at first i was like "omg lol who is this dude conducting, he's awesome". then i looked in the description and i felt dumb.
_I am the senate._
Played this my sophomore year of high school, we played it for UIL aswell and one of the judges was left speechless(he said "im just gonna sit back and enjoy the performance") and it was truly amazing just hearing that from a judge because its hard to make a judge SPEECHLESS in a piece this difficult.

wow, impressive! congrats to your band?
@@mrman5066 thank you😁
I’m playing this as a sophomore and flute help im gonna die
@@theyakel1 GOODLUCK!! Hope your band pulls it off its such an amazing peace
this was the first song in our marching show this year definitely some tough fingers for the flutes
Those tubes the percussionists are swinging around are really hard to keep going for minutes like they do here.

I'm not the strongest in upper body strength, but even the other two more muscular guys had trouble keeping it going. These guys seemed to do it rather flawlessly, and kept composure as well. Major props!!
Same, it was surprisingly difficult!!
This song was a real workout, swinging the tubes and then throwing on the floor to get my xylophone mallets out in time
Yelooh oh hey I didn’t know you were in band as well
those 'tubes' actually have a lot of names, i.e. the Whirly tube, the Corrugaphone, and the Bloogle Resonator. I'm not tryna be smart by correcting you or anything, it's just lil fun fact that i thought you lovely people might like!
@@jalenfontaine1031 I had no idea they had names, thanks!
Can't complain about the interpretation with the composer conducting! Very exciting!
that IS ticheli
12:03 God, that is just a face of pure ecstasy, bliss, and dreams coming true right there. Its very refreshing to see composers and conductors express their raw emotions as something they created is booming in front of them
That part with the organ goes insanely hard
Ive never been more angered at a midroll ad
Jackson Coyer same
SAME
PLEASE 😭
At the worst time!! Ahhh
OMG yes
Holy shit, that trombone fluttertounge sounds amazing!
I have it as a ringtone
Oh my god the organ made me cry
I'm so excited to perform as the angel with my high school wind ensemble next Thursday. This piece has made me cry multiple times and I'm so blessed to be performing with such a talented group of students.
Frank Ticheli is seriously a genius.
's what *I'M* sayin
He’s a fking Rockstar!
I remember playing this my Senior Year of High School, and then having my little solo at 10:08...definitely one of my favorite pieces of music that I played during my time as a Clarinet player
I'm not sure what's more satisfying- the band's musical talent or Frank Ticheli's facial expressions.
Ticheli's conducting is so fucking lively
FRANK TICHELI IS CONDUCTING OF MY GOD I LOVE HIM OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
i had the honor of having frank ticheli as my clinician at alabama all state band and we played lux perpetua and acadania
Our high school band director is having us do this piece this year! We did Vesuvius last year.
We played this last year in my high school Wind Ensemble, enjoy it while you can, I never realized how beautiful of a piece it was until after the last time i played it.
I’m in the middle level band at my school playing bass clarinet but my director wants me to play contrabass clarinet on this one with the Wind Ensemble.

My son is a sophomore in high school he’ll be playing the bassoon in this amazing piece and played vesuvius las year sooo proud ❤
Playing it this year for Wind Ensemble, I play seven different instruments (percussion be like). Incredible piece.
Was Vesuvius difficult?

I am always amazed by ticheli's conducting style. He is so vibrant and exciting yet very precise.
This has been my favorite piece of music since I first heard it years ago. I have listened to it countless times and each and every time I still can't stop smiling throughout the entire piece. Absolutely perfect.
OMG!!!!! This ensemble, even not being as large as symphony band, is beyond epic!! Great job? No, EPIC is the right word :)
This is the first piece that I played for my dad where he said he was proud of me. Made us both cry
this is an absolute masterpiece. the ensemble did exceptional.
Played this my sophomore year in high school. I’m going into my senior year this year. Excited to see what I play next!!
There will never be a day when I don't appreciate the genius in this piece.
This is my favourite recording of this piece!
bluedragonfire My favorite recordings are always UNT, they're seriously the best amateur ensemble in the world. Hell, I'd even say they could compete with a lot of pro bands.
Man I just love this piece and I always have since my freshmen year in high school when our varsity band played it.
Wonderful job...kudos to this fantastic ensemble for this exceptional performance!!!!
Pure genius. So many chills at 12:05
Why does that part sound like a Christmas song
too tru cuhzzo
I got a 7/11 ad in the middle of this. I think I hate 7/11 now
Ticheli's facial expression from 4:50-5:05... so jedi.
Bro started speaking in percussion for a second
My University Wind Ensemble is playing this right now and I am soooo stoked!! Easily the funnest and most beautiful piece I've played in a long time. I am obsessed with this.
Why would someone dislike this?
cuz all of them are not a cadets fan
Because they don't know true music
LOL. the commenter and repliers say "SAD." SAD days for the dislikers XDDD
Cause they never got conducted by ticheli
@@casron4701 you are hilarious
That's just great music! Fantastic composition and the ensemble sounded amazing!
5:53 that is some serious piping
12:06 that is some SERIOUS piping
excited to play this next semester
best piece to listen to while high🫡
Out of the countless concert band pieces I have performed over the years, this is easily in the top ten of pieces I would perform again in a heartbeat if I was able to.
9:35 to the end are my favorite, even though the whole piece is GODDAMN PERFECT
I played this two years ago in band, I really miss this song. We really had some highs and lows rehearsing this for like 6 months
I am curled up in my DX racer crying because of that final b flat so buitiful
Clovis West High School Marching band's show "Cathedralis" has influences from this song in the first movement of the show :)
only one euphonium.............. sad times
Tristan Metz we're underappreciated
Well, this is a wind ensemble. In a wind ensemble there is very little doubling so there would be mostly only one person playing each part. There is likely only one euphonium part (never seen more than 1 in years of study), so there would only be one euphonium
it probably has close to the same part as the french horn(s)
Only Lincolnshire Posy has two Euph parts. Technically one of them is a Baritone part.
Tristan Metz theirs 3 concert bands there and the rest was probably not good enough for this ensemble
Beautiful. I’m sure the angels in the architecture are
Spinning in infinity
“Amen and Hallelujah!" 😉
THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
Love this piece 3000
Frank Ticheli is my idol. I don't think you guys understand lol. I would love the opportunity to meet him! His music has inspired me so much, he is literally my idol. haha
+Ashley Fister Just met him the other day at a Western Michigan Symphonic Band concert he did as part of a clinic. Such a nice guy. I hope someday you get to meet him!
he conducted my youth wind ensemble today! it was such a great experience to meet such a great guy. he is the best conductor i have yet to come across. and i got a picture with him! plus his signature on his piece Vesuvius
we played this piece as well as 10 other well known pieces of his (to include Shenandoah, Vesuvius, Blue Shades, Joy, and Joy Revisited)
+I Don't know (Huh) That's really cool! I had the opportunity to meet David Maslanka who composed Give Us This Day along with other pieces. I also met Mark Camphouse who composed pieces like Movement for Rosa and Watchman, Tell Us of the Night. I got a picture with both of them and Mark signed my copy of Watchman.

My highschool band director told us that we are playing this in our may concert and I’m terrified
This piece is so amazing
Listen, those horns came to play!!! WOW.
Great piece, great band.
The Cadets: Between Angels and Demons
YASSS
heck yeah
YAASSS
I prefer this
that’s why my high school’s show is check it out on the Randall High School Band channel
I love this song but I hate that youtube put adds in the middle of it
that chord at 6:40. damn.
Fav part starts at 6:59
Same here dude best part of the piece
Beautiful.
12:10 i listened to the whole song specifically to hear this part
got to play this for UIL last year, and I had the timpani part. easily one of my favorite pieces that I’ve ever played. free therapy at its finest tbh
I'm a sophomore in high school and the symphonic band that's I'm in is playing this in 2 months. This piece is absolutely beautiful and contains such a story. We played Vesuvius last year which was really cool

7:00 is the best
12:05?
ugh the French Horn part at 5:10 sounds so beautiful 😍
It's because Trombone 1 like what I play is playing with them. Lol
@@MichaelJones-yi5ue TROMBONE! 😍
Frank is amazing!!! Love this song!!!
This is my favorite piece from high school
Were playing this piece during covid with 2 in school days a week to practice it and 3 online days
This piece was very fun in percussion
To whoever put ads in the middle there is a special place in hell for you
It's been a while since I listened to music for the musicality of it, but this got me back into it. Hearing this makes me realize how majorly my high school band slaughtered it. Sounded like they were rooting more for the evil side.
my favorite band piece of all time, above Lux Perpetua, also by Frank Ticheli. Truly a modern compositive genius
my band played this last year
theres a reason this has zero dislikes
Actually it has 4 dislikes now... whoever disliked this is just...no.
Samreet Juneja
Whoever dislikes this has no soul...or hearing.
Yes ur right
Sorry now it has 34 dislikes
*laughs in 2023*
I wish 5 years ago I would’ve been able to hear this version before playing so I could’ve known how the percussion was supposed to sound and feel
Ticheli looks exactly like he did in grad school. Good genes and clean living, I bet!
12:48-13:02 did I just go to heaven and back
Yes kind of. 12:48 is in heaven after the battle, and 13:02 is the joyful contentment of the angels, who defeated the demons. ...Or so they think. (1-5 chords in the brass invade the piece at the ending, leaving it open to interpretation, like in a "...or did they?" kind of way

Probably not literally, but in the story conveyed by the music (and the Cadets in their 2011 show, I guess), quite possibly.
Molto bello!

Alright, who are the thirteen jerks who hit the dislike button on this amazing video?
The Allen High School 2014 Marching Band Show is based off of this piece. Should be interesting to see how it turns out.
I would love to hear this performed with a boy soprano
12:04 holy shit I have ascended...
7:00 my favorite part :D
Same sis
fierce
Playing this for honors band
Viggo Mortensen is one hell of a conductor
👏👏👏👏👏👏
THE ENDING DOEEEE
i love this piece. the only thing that could be better with this particular recording that i can tell right now is the vocals in the beginning. they were way too soft, could barely hear. other than that these are magnificent performers!
My marching band show is based off of this song
Song so long i got a midroll ad
Our band played this song but we didn't have the pipe organ. The pipe organ makes the song.
The organ is only doubling the brass parts where it plays (and I have played the organ part).
