Music is the language that unites the world of different languages together, that is what makes people who play instruments and know music, even though from a different place in the world, have something in common and can sort of communicate through music.
Wonderful Playing! Great group! Masakatsu, I have been playing with you in 1977 with the World Orchestra (in Korea & Japan). I am the tuba player Alain Cazes. You made me eat sushi for the 1st time in my life. I have fantastic memories of your playing and friendship.
I see 2 dislikes How can anybody dislike the beauty of this I came close to tears in some places. I suppose there are some people who are emotionless. I'm glad I am not acquainted with them
This is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. I can't listen to it without crying... it's just so beautiful with their blend and emotion coming right out of their bell. no words are needed for them tell exactly what happened and why this piece was written. Absolutely amazing.
I played this with my senior friends in high school as our last moment together. It was literally our song for the entire year. We worked and worked and worked. I wish we had it recorded but we didn't but I will surely remember how it sounded. I also thought the best part about our version of this arrangement was, we played this exact arrangement with a slower tempo and repeated a couple sections. Our overall run time was 13:00! It was absolutely breathtaking, I will never forget. Just wish I had those days back. We all graduated this last May (2017) and I've only seen our bass trombone and second trombone after hence. Just where is my third trombone, so we can reunite this amazing piece and finally record it! Wish you luck to all you young players, we were all 17-18 years old, and even to our eldest players. Everything is possible with the right amount of intention and desire. So please, like and share your stories, every song has it's own story for everyone else.
that was so beautiful. it made me feel as if I was in japan as it happened. such great players as well shout out to the 3 tenors and 1 bass trombone. You played with such conviction and emotion it was amazing. Nicely done, nicely done.
I hear this song time after time and again, love as much as when I first heard it, I'm also a lover of 日本(Japan) and it's culture. So awe inspired, I'll try and get my bass(upright) choir to play this hmmm.......till next time 後で あなた おキャッチ
We play this with our family we have one tuba one bass trombone and two tenor trombones. The problem is that I have to play the highest part because no one else could play it but I've never played die highest note, so I first have to learn how to play that high...
In my opinion this is one of the very best interpretations of many you can find on youtube. Awesome in it's simplicity (there are much more blown up versions), the harmonics fit perfectly the emotions associated with this beautiful song.
For alto sax it would be much easier than trombone part. Most trombone players won't be able to hit that high B flat, much less the high D. Then again, if you practice enough, you can hit it, just like those guys on the video.
It doesn't really take long to build up range. Whatever you're trying to hit, like D for example, learn the note above it first (E). Learn to articulate that E and play it in context. If you can do that, then hitting that D should be a cakewalk.
