I played that solo back in college and that was the funnest piece that I've ever played. That was some GREAT unison throughout the solo and especially at the beginning, b/c that B flat to C is very difficult to play in tune. I don't think I've ever seen the Blue Shades solo not played solo (if that makes sense, lol)
Oh my god! I remember last year when the wind ensemble had to play this for their winter concert. My clarinet section leader had to play that solo and she sounded EXACTY like he was playing it. I had my jaw dropped the whole time! i know she got a scholorship for this music school.
How do you feel that you wrote this comment 11 years ago do you still play
wow that's beast matching....with all the pitch bending and all. good ears.
perfect Unison!!!!!
I agree, it was a novel idea but took away from the fact that it is a solo. I played this a few years back and it took a lot of work to get the note bends in place and the altissimo notes in tune.
This is absolutely amazing! Excellent unison.
this makes me proud to be a clarinet player...
I still can't find a single person who played this better than my high school friend. It was amazing at the time but now it's just sad.
I have the greatest recording of that solo
WOW! 5 players.
I've always liked this Blue Shades piece. Just found out Ticheli teaches at USC.
While I competely admire how well this is done (This is probably the best unison I've ever heard in such an extreme register) I feel like the section's effect was kind of butchered in a way. It is a solo for a reason....And all of the stylistic jazz bending and vibrato had to be cut out due to the fact that it's five and not one playing. Still...kudos on matching so well. I just personally prefer it as a solo.
My headcanon is that these 5 people threatened to beat each other to death over this solo, and this unison happened as a form of mediation
Daymn.. that's one pro unison.
Played this earlier this year. Wish we took it at this tempo T_T , well, meh. Ticheli conducted us for the performance. I've probably been an immature player, because the tempo we took was really fast for me
I actually prefer the clarinet solo played with more members actually. Sounds really good.

i wanna meet him
My boyfriend's playing this solo at the London Opera House this week(:
How did it go?
Richard Floyd!
@thedashiii Okay. I assume that this is a professional band. And she probably knows its not in the right octave. I mean there's ALWAYS a reason for anything they do. Maybe it sounded better or maybe the marimba didn't go low enough. So stop pretending like you're all that.
The Marimba was low enough you could see the low Bb, and for the F and Ab there’s a marking for those two notes to be an octave higher if not on the instrument, so there should’ve been no reason to do that
