I played this song my spring concert as a second violin in my junior year of high school in 2018 and it has since been my favorite piece to perform ❤️❤️ miss my strings friends from high school.
I love this piece so much. When my conductor have it to our orchestra I fell in love. As a Viola I don't usually get many important parts but in this piece I feel like I am actually playing with the violins
Fuck I played this song in 8th grade and I’m a about to graduate in a few months omg but I will NEVER forget this song and how POWERFUL it made my 14 year old self feel amen
playing this from a basses perspective is pretty fun, usually you stay in the background, but with this you can have some fun being a bit more out there, and Meyers did an awesome job with it along with the rest of the orchestra
My turn to conduct: 7:52 End of conducting: 8:43 Sorry, that’s a personal comment, because my orchestra is switching out people who conduct for certain parts of each piece. This sounds awesome, and is so fun to play! Shoutout to my fellow cellos! (we have no violas so I play viola part lol)
Nice quality, but I feel like the intonation could have been better, my violin isnt a professional violin but it still sounds like a soloist/pro violin. Its all about passion on the solo or how you play the instrument, its all about how you can express your soul in the solo. If the song has a solo that doesn't reflect your playing style, then don't play it, or learn how to vary between different playing styles
