Played this in highschool literally 30 years ago and it's still stuck in my head. Just brilliant.

@AnthonyOTooleMusic 2 года назад

Its repetitive enough to the point that it will get stuck in your ear!

@Heather Constant Heather we must have attended the same school or something.

I can't believe other people are acknowledging the existence of this hidden gem. This is surreal. I played this in 2004 on Horn 1 in high school and it was my favorite piece for the longest time, but no one else had ever heard of it, despite Curnow being a well-known and respected composer. I analyzed the heck out of this score many times over and I still can't figure out how Curnow manages to make some of the most gorgeous sounding music in band history. Also, measure 87-88 is missing the dotted quarter notes: Bb and A followed by a dotted half note G in the bass clarinet and bari sax part. Can you tell I am obsessed with this piece? I already have it in my band library even though my high school band is still playing Grade 2-3 music. One day.. maybe in 30 years, my band will play this masterpiece and then I can retire.

Yeah sorry there are a handful of errors, I’m human too haha but otherwise it’s 99% correct. I played this my freshman year of high school which was also prob around the time you played it, and I was HOOKED. It’s so good, and even when I hear it now I’m still impressed by the work, all nostalgia and connection aside.

@richardhembree5784 3 года назад

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic no worries, my comment was about showing how obsessed I am with the piece rather than pointing out any missed parts haha. And yes I agree, it's amazing and I just can't believe this is not recognized as one of the staples of band literature. But the more people post videos like this, the more recognition it will get so I love this!

@CavalloDiSpade Год назад

I played it about then too. That horn part is frickin hard!

@rickmaycroft9412 3 года назад

Good god, that horn line at 126 is a killer!!

My favourite poem, set by a favourite composer. How many times I have heard the poem read, it is read as far as I can tell for the funeral of every Canadian airman lost. As a former Canadian forces musician ,I can see this piece becoming staple material... If it isn't already.

One of the most memorable pieces I've ever played! Very nice. If you did John Barnes Chance's Elegy, my life would be complete.

@AnthonyOTooleMusic 3 года назад

I actually plan on doing that one! If you’d consider donating on Patreon.com/anthonyotoolemusic I would maybe it pull it up to the top of the list

love me some curnow...

@zacharymckinnon6832 3 года назад

Man do I miss playing bandy music. It’s always so nostalgic and satisfying😌

@bpduguard Год назад

Horn player here, I sightread this with an Army Reserve band in 1993, right after graduating college, then moved, and have never performed it. I'm in a very good community band now that can handle things like Festive Overture and Mother Earth, so I hope this graces my music stand again. Anthony, I appreciate the analysis and that you've got a top-notch recording to go along with it!

Very enjoyable...great performance!

@zmhmusic 3 года назад

A great piece, and a great score study!

@lukejuras8024 2 года назад

Great stuff! I am playing 3rd trumpet on Saturday, and we only get to rehearse for one day so it was nice to have a condensed score to see how all the other parts fit together.
