Brassed Off, Concierto de Aranjuez - Flugelhorn Solo (Play Along) 

Definitely the best arrangement of this work (Orange Juice!) I've heard. And a hugely underrated film too. RIP Pete Postlethwaite.

I play this song on my flugelhorn every day during practice just because it makes me feel good and the piece is so incredibly beautiful. I've been playing since 1953 and nothing I've played matches this piece.

Did you know...? Joaquin Rodrigo was a Spanish composer who was almost totally blind from age 3, when he contracted diptheria. By his 40's, he was totally blind. This piece is actually the second movement of the Concierto de Aranjuez. This part of the composition was something he wrote when under a heavy mantle of grief. Some accounts say that his wife was having a complicated pregnancy and he thought she was dying. She did not die, but they did lose the baby. The grief was for fear of losing his wife who he loved very much and depended on heavily. Other accounts say that the piece was about his sadness at the loss of the baby. At any rate, this music simply reverberates with loss and sadness. It creeps right into the heart and one can feel his pain and desperation. I have never heard anything quite as deep-reaching and touching before or since I first heard this piece. For me, the best rendition is this one, where I first heard it on the movie "Brassed Off".

This arrangement is the best I've ever heard. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

I love this piece of music and I love the film Brassed off just as much. I used to work on a coal delivery truck back in the 90's, we were supplied by our very own country's pits at the time. Wind, rain, hail, snow you name it I worked in it and loved every second. I miss it dearly and would go back tomorrow if I could. I felt for the miners when they started to close the pits, because them loosing their jobs meant that soon after I would be loosing mine. To much history, industry, experience and fine skills have gone in england never to be seen again.

My favorite piece of music. This rendition by the Grimethorp Colliery Band,and flugel horn solo is like a beautiful prayer. I always cry when I listen. Thank you so much.

When you hear that sound...... R.I.P PP ❤️

There exists on language in the entire universe that could begin to describe this glorious and brilliant film The concerto de orange juic e is fabulous.

I can't listen to this without tearing up. It is that beautiful.

Hollywood movies with happy endings are fun, but European movies that make us think about society and life are great. The sound of brass, whitch symbolizes the time of the Thatcher administration, pierces my heart.

This music still brings a tear to my eye, We relied on the Coal Industry, My Dad worked on transport, My Mum worked in the canteen and I worked underground. I only started 6 months after the Strike ended, But my Mum and Dad went through it, I remember the arguments when the money got short and they struggled to put food on the table, but we survived, some families did not, When the Pits went it tore the heart out of many communities, and some never recovered, places in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Wales. Now we import coal from Austrailia and South Africa. The Tories continued to decimate British Heavy Industry, Steel, Ship Building and many others, we now rely on other countries to supply most of our needs. Now we come to Brexit we are going to pay dearly for our lack of Industry and the skill base we killed.

I'm a jazz, soul and blues player. I love rock, rave. And mainly modern, 1940s up to present. But this is and always will be the most powerful , soulful, and by far the best piece of music I've ever heard. I listen to a variety of different types, but this is purely the best. Above miles and chet. I will do my own version, so keep an ear out

I can't stop my tears drop to my cheeks....so graceful and sentimental indeed.

My fave classical piece of music. So powerful yet so beautiful.

never in the recent history of this country has a film sound track sequestered any belief that the very essence of reality can only be portrayed by productions outwith the UK. The soundtrack is of such dynamic force that in the event it was played in space it would defy the principles of physics and it would be heard

"Beautiful" just doesn't cut it. There are no words to describe this!

Siempre lloro con esta canción. Gracias.

This music is by composer Joaquín Rodrigo 1939. Aranjuez concert song. well-known Spanish composition

I discovered this performance by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band and the beautiful movie "Brassed Off" on a trip to Wales in September 2022.

I listen, like many others, to everything from pop, metal, classical and some jazz, but this is far and away my favourite.

Many thanks for putting on line one of the most beautiful musics ever composed. Bows to you !

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL 🥰 ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT SO BEAUTIFUL 🥰 WITH SUCH A SAD MEANING BEHIND IT ❤️❤️❤️

Love this piece of music ❤️. Played tenor horn for 8yrs. Had a solo playing this one. Made me cry everytime😢❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never got why my dad who's sadly passed loved brass bands. Do now, perhaps I didn't listen enough.

Not surprising the family don't want this version of this widely distributed as its so much more powerful than the original. Not often a cover version is better than the original

Roger Ebert accurately called this " a sweet fiim with anger at it's core"..special mention to the oft neglected film editor Michael Ellis( outstanding!) and writer / director Mark Herman,wow..and the fortunate casting of our immortal Pete...and the whole of it ,all hands on deck,thank you!

Lovely. I've even heard it played by Paul Higgs at at a local venue, haunting, and memorable. Xx

Probably the best Version of this great music from Rodrigo !

been practicing this so much since I found the video and am almost ready to play it for a school talent show thank you! (bass clarinet)

This tune makes me cry evertime i hear it

Very moving and farewell Pete, we remember you and miss you.

There are pieces that literally touch you to the depths of your soul. Every time I listen to the Aranjuez concert there is no moment in which my skin doesn't crawl and I get excited. There is nothing greater and more fascinating than art in general, something that only man in his likeness can compose. I can't feel anything but gratitude for music always.

I played trumpet and cornet all threw school back in Late 60's -70's this is just beautiful thanks brings back good memories

Sublime music, it's incomprehensible how anyone could give this a thumbs down.

This is so beautiful, brings tears to my and such deep feelings.

I have lost track of the times that I have watched this sublime piece of music, and how many tears I have shed for its beauty. Perfectly filmed with Tara Fitzgerald playing and the mesmerised guys watching her, with wonderful Pete Postlethwaite conducting. But WHO actually did play the Flugelhorn for this piece?? He/She deserves the fame. Thank you, whoever you were, beyond awesome!! Who was it?

muy bonita interpretacion...fecitaciones a la solista y a la banda. simultaneidad de sonido genialidad al ejecutar.

Just brilliant peace of music

Tara came to the Delph,Saddlewoth Brass Band contest the Year Brassed Off was filmed.She was a big hit with us Local's !!!!

Brass Bands or Brass Sections always been a fan. Part of the Northern English Soul?

Hauntingly beautiful!

No matter who plays it is still a fantastic bit of music

Autor español, Joaquin Rodrigo.👏👏👏👏

absolutely stunning performance and wonderful transcription. Makes me want to learn to play flugelhorn...probably a stretch for a trombone player lol.

THIS ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE THE ORCHESTRA IS AMAZING YOU CAN HEAR EVERY INSTRUMENT BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED AS THEY SHOULD BE I HAVE SO MUCH ADMINISTRATION FOR THOSE WHO TOILED ALL THEIR LIVES TO HAVE IT ALL RIPPED AWAY SO SO SAD RIP 🦋 PETE POSTLETHWAITE YOU WERE AMAZING 🥰❤️🦋🌈

You definitely need to be a poet to express how beautiful this peace of music is ,even so Shakespeare or greatest bard would struggle to find the words like everything the Spanish people do its full of emotion

Hermosa, siempre me emociona, gracias, gracias, gracias

Without Pete Postlethwaite this movie would have not been as good as it is.

I keep trying to write a comment here , but the beauty of listening to Concierto de Aranjuez takes me into this amazing music It’s a film that takes you to the heart ♥️ of Yorkshire RIP Pete 2021

Here's a weird hint . . . if you play baritrone ukulele (low d) , you don't need to transcribe If you want to see the music on a page - try this to get most of it.. Run an image search for the Trevor Jones adaptation. Look and you'll find at least one image of a whole page with well over 50 bars of the melody line. Ckick to see it in an image search window. Use Print Screen to grab and save as a jpeg. You can easily work out the ending to add to it y using the helpful derived music in this upload. Many thanks for uploading this.

I am in love withe this song, is so beautiful🇧🇷🇨🇾

Grew up in the north east in the 90s after the mines had all closed, where every other town or large village was still suffering the effects of the pit closures.

A collery band performing this classic. And beautifully. Who could have imagined.

I have heard this piece played many times but none are as good as with the flugelhorn played brilliantly by Grimethorpe Colliery band .I was once a miner and brass musician and I look back on those days with a mixture of pride and longing .many pits had choirs and bands ...all of them the best of Great Britain ...Maggie Thatcher had a lot to answer for ....When she closed the mines she killed communities and the spirit of many british people but it must be said we are recovering and always will ..This film represents all of that and more

Man findet das Stück in vielen Varianten. Hier her kehre ich immer wieder zurück.

What a great song glen.

I'm a massive northern soul fan! But let me tell you this is something else really makes you think what you've done on years gone by,it touches my soul,

Zur Zeit das schönste Stück das ich kenne

Love brass bands used to live in Oldham ,and go to Denshaw and surrounds for the band contests

Beautiful piece of music.

It's one of my long time favorites. Many have played it but this version (arranged by Trevor Jones) really is overwhelming !!! The movie characters are very loveable human beings but the power of the music wraps it all so incredibly nicely up. Great, great movie, splendid music...

Superb piece of music brilliantly played... I always expect Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Clieff to ride out of the dust...

The music, this arrangement and The Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra with the Spanish Guitarist, are equal. Two different variations, and yet both remain on the top of my list of music to hear and see. If you haven't viewed the film story "Brassed Off" please do. There are so many facets to this film and I'm hoping you'll take the time to see it.

Fantastic ! Love this version , great playing .

Lo que tocan es el segundo movimiento del Concierto de Aranjuez, del maestro Joaquín Rodrigo (originalmente es para guitarra y orquesta).

Thank you so much for this sharing of the notations, I have asked my 2 grandsons to try to learn this part, practice up and play along with your video on their trumpets for my 72 birthday end of November. Just family, for fun and enjoyment of the music. I ride my Spanish-descended, Peruvian Paso horse with this movement playing in my pocket on my iphone. Coincidentally, will be attending small concert in rancho mirage, ca tonight of classical guitarist Angel Romero who I pray will do this movement. Once again, thank you. The two grandsons, 18 and 10 have no excuse now not to try.

Thank you - I've been looking for this for ages!!!! God bless!!!

Gracias por compartir semejante e imponente obra. Gracias

Great work in doing and sharing this!

magnifique musique et magnifique film (les virtuoses)

this is so much better than the guitar version

Love this music

Great music, great movie, I like this . Greetings from Holland .

Stunning ❤❤

Sin duda es la obra maestra del siglo ,,20.

Well done for the transcription, AJMvdS. Excellent

Beautiful

Miles Davis plays a version of this on his Sketches of Spain album. Brilliant album

Just great Masterpiece :)

Heart breaking😢❤ Amazing

"You were born here lass". Pete Posselthwaite at his imperious best. Unforgettable film and time in our history. Absolutely loved this film because I was very much on the side of the miners who foretold what would happen to UK PLC. Billionaire owned "free press" rules the roost and it was during this time that they really started to bare their teeth. I miss those times hugely and finally the Tories wre swept aside and we had the most prosperous post war years under a Labour Govt, but folks forget but the Tory Press don't, they always play the long game.

The film is Brassed Off. The female flugelhorn player is Tara Fitzgerald,

Bravissimi adoro questa musica

Wow shivers down my spine FANTASTIC film always will remind me of delph whit friday!! 😘😘😘🙋🙋🙋

Whoever downvoted this has no soul.

yus, a tear comes to eye, and me town twas founded upon a colliery, and we quibble just likes the movie,,russtuba in Nanaimo

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

hi again. I did a jazz version of this at the local jazz club as a guest spot, I didn't record it though. it is quite easy to transpose it from just listened. I recommend you having a listen to a version by chet baker that I hadn't heard before or even no that he had done one. it is very nice with a different line up with sax , guitar and Trumpet having turns, it is a bit slower and laid back, personally I like it more than miles Davis version,

Up lifting patriotic stirring moving beautiful until death

Heavenly

It's been years since I've read music. Felt great reading it once again from my 💕 of the trumpet 🎺

Just WOW.

I think this is a fantastic film and the music is beautiful especially Orange Juice but also the William Tell Overture at the end fantastic best film ever and a true story about the destruction of the coal industry

Super, sehr schön arrangiert !

People should know the story behind this incredible music.

Thank you for this!

I've heard this played on guitar, which is beautiful too. The flugelhorn does have to s certain appeal though.

Este filme é uma obra prima!!

Muchachos played it amazing from Hawthorne Nj

it is the movie i like the best !!
