Holst - Suite No. 1 in Eb (score) 

i thought i was the onluy one who noticed!!

Thank God it was more euphonium and trombone than tuba. Bari sax echoing the tuba is criminal.

@@jetsettech8804 how so?

@@tritl6571 you have the tenor sax sometimes echoing the alto sax and French horns (which completely negates the purpose of a tenor sax if it's just gonna play the same part as alto) but they also echo trombones as well at times. The bari sax is such a capable instrument yet during marching its relegated to playing a part that simply is a downbeat on the tempo. Bari can do runs with the lighter woodwinds and has the range of a euphonium. Why should it be stuck playing quarter notes?

@@jetsettech8804 yeah there’s a revised version of the piece where the 2nd movement melody is removed from the bari sax but the tenor sax doesn’t have a low a key which makes the line sound worse without the bari. I have always liked bari with the lower melodic line more and it has more range to play higher or lower if needed

And when euphoniums aren’t compensating, Gustav has high standards

@Elijah Valdivia That part is for the Contrabass Clarinet

Rickey Jennings it’s for both

@nyancs Yes, but when the notes go below bass sax range, contra plays it. The score also indicates when each one plays

Rickey Jennings yea nice

Yeah march is for sure the best, I personally think Intermezzo is the worst out of the three (but still good) just because of how repetitive it is.

I used it because it’s in the Creative Commons but I guess RU-vid doesn’t really care about that since I still got random companies claiming these recordings.
