Why are we not playing the original? This version cuts out 2 themes by the first minute... Doesn't do the absolute masterpiece that is the original justice. I feel so depressed just playing this version. C'mon; all of the parts of Holst's original piece are available online......:(
Yeah, we're playing this. Forgive my over hungry, over tired, angsty rant from before. Nonetheless this arrangement demolishes the sentiment of the piece, and cuts out my favorite theme from it so I'm pretty bummed. Not much I can do about it now.....
And what I mean by that is, sometimes you can't play the original because you aren't good enough, and you to play a simplified arrangement, and your stamina isn't good enough so you have to shorten the piece. I'm not saying that the original isn't good, I'm just saying that younger ensembles can't play as many original pieces.
we are the younger ensembles and we want to and can play the masterpiece but out director won't let us so it just sucks we are hating, we're just moody teenagers that love music, i'm playing this for my wind ensemble full orchestral and i want the original so bad...
