I showed this entire piece to my music teacher. Throughout the piece, she was shocked at what she was looking at. She told me "Richard is crazy!" (But in a good way)
cello is the superior instrument voice deep but not to rumble like bass and able to hit high notes like viola and violin but still retains a rich sound
@@CrazyFlyingMonk no, violin is superior because we get to get higher chairs by screeching our e string until they collapse and then we eventually get first chair
@@nicholasmcintyre so cellos have rich,beautiful and wholesome sounds and violins are cutthroat creatures that screech to assert dominance over other violins?
From 2:37 to 3:11 was heaven when I played this piece in year 6. I'm a viola player and the fact that we got 13 bars of the violas getting the melody made my heart soar. It was only 2 violas against 20 violins and yet we were louder than them at this point on performance night. Truly one of my favourite pieces.
Played this freshman year of high school and the viola soli at 2:37 has an interesting story. I was one of the only two violas that would play out in our section. The other viola was put on the other part. By the time of the concert, I knew the soli for the first orchestra by heart. I got congratulated for a solo I didn’t have (:
hah, the viola soli has "most replayed" on the playback graph also I feel like 1:57 (measure 43) is a Legend of the Ghost Stallion reference (or the reverse, I have no idea when each was published), but just a theory EDIT: this was 2017 and LotGS was 2019. Nevermind
I played this less than a year ago, it was by far the best song I’ve ever played in an orchestra by far. The bass solo was really fun too. Especially because if you messed it up, then the 5k people watching would instantly know. But I nailed that. 😁
why do you feel the need to gloat about yourself on the internet? ok, you can shift. congrats. want a cookie, bitch? i can shift, the rest of the violin I's can shift. the violin II's can shift. the violas. the cellos and basses (obviously but still). no one cares that you can shift. if someone cared to know, they would've asked you
Lmao, aside from the fact that this song is not at all about African/African American culture, but is actually about American/Middle Eastern culture. It seems like you're the person who doesn't understand the piece.
Danielle Mitchell this song has nothing to do with black culture. If you read the description of the song, 1 part of the orchestra plays American songs, and the other with Middle Eastern Folk songs.
