Our band director has to pick two songs of a specific list for our next concert and he's super desperate and this is a song that he threw at us and "stuck" but we play it like way under tempo.
I played this for an All-State piece, and our French Horns absolutely rocked the part at 1:32. It was amazing - they were perfectly in tune, and it made me grin every time (I played Euphonium for that)
I played euphonium on this piece last year, couldn't ace the solo once all year, i was so nervous. Still perhaps my favorite piece in my high school career.
Playing this for a festival on monday at the University of Washington! I’m a sophomore in the top band so I’m sadly 3rd trumpet, but it’s still a blast to play those 3 part harmonies!!
As a horn player I agree!! Yes I will say the clarinet part looks like someone spilled a bunch of ink...but moving the rotary valves like we do is a pain sometimes at speed. Oh yeah and the embouchure gets a nice workout!!!
I'm Defnotgosu agreed 100% this song is 1000x more of a display of skill on horn than on clarinet haha, and I’m a clarinet player. This song is so fun, but I wouldn’t say it’s hard per se, save for that tuning! Lots of chords that I don’t have much experience listening to, but at the end gosh wailing out on the Eb the entire time in tune felt like becoming god haha
Our band is playing Hounds of Spring this year, so I came back to remind myself of what El Camino was like after playing it last year... I'm amazed I was able to play that 1st horn part.
I played this for my youth orchestra finale concert and it is honestly one of the most amazing pieces of band music i have ever played, it's just so much fun, but so challenging and yet so amazing at the same time
I played this on the flute my freshman year of high school, and we played at tempo for the concert, lets just say whenever i listen to this my fingers start to tingle
the tuba part on this is one of the best in any piece i've played. You've got the fast paced stuff, which really challenges your intonation and timing, and the slow sections, which test your tone and tuning. Overall, this was a great piece to play and one of my favs from school.
My sister plays bass clarinet and will be playing this at her next concert in June😀 I played flute back in high school; this piece definitely would've been BRUTAL😮 I wish her and her community concert band luck!
I played the castanets, tambourine, and wood block for this song, and it was amazing. The part might of been a little bit boring but the song itself brings me tears of joy. I really wish I can play this again
Loved this song. Played it on flute in Grade 10. Awesome experience. I attempt to play it now and I'm like, "HOW DID I DO THIS???!!" lol. We played it at this speed too!! Can't believe it.

The first time I've ever really enjoyed playing Eb clarinet was playing this piece.... also the first time I could play the dynamics written for me and not just get stuck at piano to balance the ensemble
I love this song! I play horn and I love it, but it's really hard. We are playing it as our chair test (UGH!) At 6:00 it is so beautiful. Who knew that we could play high notes so fast. Still can't believe how amazing this song is.
Oh my glory, this part is so great. Especially after playing nothing but what are basically hard mode offbeats in the slow section, 6:23 is a great respite from the doldrums.
This will be one of my first pieces I play as a college freshman (music ed major, performance next year hopefully!). Its been a rough start but I'm looking forward to learning from it and getting better!!!!
omg , i don't know wich was the first to come , this opera or castlevania, but it's almost the same song as for dracula's battle . that was my gamer mind . otherwise i really love this one. i love to draw and colour and this give me a lot of inspiration =). i think the night will be long ahah =) it made my day =D
