    After nearly 40 years of playing wind band music at all levels, this is STILL my all time favorite work. I first played it in an honor band my senior year w/ David Shaffer. Years later, I actually spoke to Dr. Reed while getting info from him on a trombone quartet for my senior recital and was able to tell him how much I loved this piece.

    You have not lived until you have played the final French Horn section "bells up." It still brings me pride, shivers, and oddly tears. Bless you for these works. It is as if you are somehiw reading my mind as I recall these band pieces.

      It’s the schalltrichter Auf horn sections that get this ol fuddy duddy saxophonist all the time.
      Hence why Mahler 2 and this piece will always have my favorite horn sections.

    This is still my favorite piece after nearly 30 years ago playing it for first time and I wanted to see another analysis of the piece other than mine and it’s spot on including all the notes. I love the modulations and suspensions in this masterpiece.

    This is a hauntingly beautiful work (I only wish that it included a part for pipe organ!). Thanks for the analysis.

      Someone actually did an organ transcription of the last few minutes (after the second English horn solo) and it’s hair raising, so good. The pedals make it extra goosebump-licious

    The ending of this piece also gives me lots of Stravinsky vibes - pretty similar to the end of Firebird. Parallel chord motion over a pedal point

    I played alto clarinet on this piece around 4 years ago. It was a lot of fun.

      Reed always has decent alto clarinet parts.

      exactly, I love the addition of the string bass and bells which accessorize this otherwise standard chorale.

    There's valuable info here! Love how you break it down seamlessly as it plays. I would appreciate if you could also include some sources for your introduction to your piece. I'm doing a paper on this piece and it's hard to find that sort of background information.

      @coloraturaElise 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think it's the modal nature of the music. That kind of sound takes you back to very old times long ago, sounds kinda deep and mysterious.

    5:21 that last eight note in the flutes and clarinets should be a B and not an A, right?

    Isn't the second beat of m. 9 a d minor chord? It's played that way in the recording.
