i have played this every year for almost ten years. i am so sick of it, but at the same time it just wouldn't be christmas without it.
I played this in orchestra in 1969-73. I'm in a community orchestra now and we played it last Christmas and will this year too. Love it!
they key is torture but the song is SO GOOD
found the band kid
@@loopsi17 probably an alto sax too lmfao
I'm a low brass player and I don't think the keys are torture (yes not even E major)
Obinna Nwakwue
Because you’re low brass. Lmao. Concert E Major would be like concert F# (6 sharps) for Bb clarinets and trumpets and C# (7 sharps) for Eb Saxophones and Bari’s
I loved playing this in high school
As a bass player, I see this a a win
Those damn sixteen notes at the end
looooovvvveeeee it we are playing this in a concert
5:38 *saving so I know what spot to practice*
You playing this song? My teacher gave it to us earlier this week and wants us to learn it. There's only 14 of us and we are the varsity orchestra. I don't even know measure 1 to 7 lmao
@@jaedensilva yeah, 218-251 is our playing test section… I got the music on Monday and my test is tomorrow, I think I’m screwed 😂
@@samanthafialkow6092 this song is so long and our music was printed on the back of the page, I have no rests in the song so I have no clue how I will flip the page if I learn it, We have to learn it by december for a winter concert. I dont even think I would be able to learn this and this is a grade 3 piece my teacher said. My teacher grades us strictly on being good because my school is new so theres pressure on us needing to be good so in 10 years the school has a good reputation.Im a viola player and the only 1. theres 2 cellos, me viola , 1 bass, then rest violins like 9 of them. And i have a test tomorrow on measure 1-7 and I DIDNT PRACTICE AT ALL. R.I.P meh
@@jaedensilva howd you do bestie
@@samanthafialkow6092 turns out it wasn't a playing test she wanted us to clap a rhythm of a random measure. I managed to get an 80 on it. Not much people did good on it. She said on Monday, which is tomorrow, if nobody knows the rhythm well she will put away the song OOOOf. Before she showed us this song she wanted us to play a song called rhythm sticks by shirl jae well, something like that. It is a grade 5 I think and we managed to learn all of it but a hard part from 77-133 it's just measures repeating the same rhythm. Because we didn't know that part she said we will use it later. Then gave us this song Christmas festival that's like 300 measures xD. And it will be put away tomorrow if nobody knows the song rhythm.
Our band and orchestra played this for our winter concert but the band and orchestra have different class periods. So at 3:22 it was really awkward for me cause I played chimes but it was just me and no strings.
🤣🤣
I’ve played this a few times before when I was in band. It’s a really good piece of music.
the violin triplets at 5:48 absolutely churn my guts. it sends shivers down my spine like why is it so creepy in a happy song 😭
It churns my guts even more having to play it..
@@ClvvudiiWe have to play this in December for symphony 😭
@@Lana-ii9jssame, i’m usually on violin 2 but promoted myself to oboe lol
Don’t know but great to play!
We played it twice last year-once for symphony, and once for concert band. It was horrible 🧍♂️
1:19 😍😍
The name of the carol is God rest Ye Merry Gentleman
i love the bass line that i play on the cello in that bit
@@yeety1208 Wow!!! It is a beautifully written part♥️
5:37 ❤
My teacher almost cussed us out while playing this
I dont blame him as 7th graders we sounded horrific trying to sight read
.....they had 7th graders playing this?
@@happybrilidays honors 7th graders
@@michellero5082 I'm a senior in high school and we're playing it.
Then again it's a bi-annual tradition
I’m a 7th grader playing this
i know a 6th grader whos playing this
I sit at Trumpet 1, pretty interesting part
this song is absolute torture and it has made me consider dropping band, but it's worth it.
Why's there 2 band arrangements that sound exactly the same, but ones level 4, and ones level 3, and then the orchestra one, also sound the same, but it's 3.5
Different key and slight changes
I’m performing this on Friday as a Symphonic Orchestra group for our Winter Concert.
Why place oboe under clarinet
A minute of silence for the tuba players who have to count 153 measures of rest (which is about 4:30 seconds of rest) just so that they can comeback at the end and play downbeats!
YES! I never counted the rests. Just memorized the other parts so I knew where to come in!
How many pages of music in this piece??
Those 5 ascending quick notes before the key change on jingle bells were too hard
Opportunity
Agreed
4:16
I have to play flute 2 on this and it sucks
same, but it's okay.... i have a strong section, and we have too many clarinets, you can't hear us... but at the jingle bells in C major was terrible, bc we only had like one note the entire time...:)
people who disliked are people that had to play this in orch and got tired of it
Trombone 3 sucks in this song
