UNC Wind Ensemble - Procession of the Nobles by Nicholai Rimsky-Korsakov, arr. Leidzen 

If this is the Procession of the Nobles, then I imagine then fast-walking down a great hall.

Impressed by how cleanly executed this is at this tempo, good technique in this group....

Horn section is almost perfection. Brilliant!

We’re doing this in PMEA district 7 band this year, I’m 1st trumpet 6th chair and the part is torture, wish me luck!!!

Oh my God, what a wonderful performance. Such a brisk tempo, and they kept up and pushed through without a observable bump. Its really nice to see a large group of soloist performing as such a tight ensemble. The conductor was is in full maestro mode with precision glances and focused cues of rewarding smiles. I played many of those lead parts back in my High School days, and as good as we imagined ourselves being, you folks take the cake, Well Done. Post Script: Great job on Sound and Lighting, accurate switching for angels, Could not have been so nice without you.

Best Band Ever!

Thank You for this Masterpiece, tempo is the right one, so beautiful

I liked this very much. As far as tempo, It's just perfect!! It's only too fast when the performers Make it sound frantic! It has a very good flow.

wow, thank you very much, a great piece of music and a really good orchester.

It's a little quick and thus loses some of the pesante on the final restatement, but very well rehearsed and executed.

Beautiful.

The Running of the Nobles

loved playing this in high school

Perhaps a bit too fast. The pesante was certainly too fast .

I'm gonna need a little more piccolo...

Tempo too fast. It's like a race.

Expedition of the Nobles

played this in school tonight was great

Nicely done!

Lindo demais, imponente, apoteótico, maravilhoso de se ouvir Saudações da Amazônia 🇧🇷 👍

Sprint of the Nobles

Excellent.

We gotta play this for concert. Funest part is section 10(3:30) # saxes

I'm playing this

It was fast but they were playing really well!!

1:00 for reference

a bit too fast

I’m playing the tambourine in this song at my school

Our band is having us doing this, and we’re is hs- they won’t let us practice it at home

Is there a piccolo part for this piece? I'm playing it in a community band and there was not piccolo part in my folder.

It wasnt that fast but awsome job

Procession of The Nobles... On horseback, at a gallop. It makes me think of Russian Imperial Cavalry. But I like it. It sounds strained, and somewhat restrained, at a slower tempo. JMHO.

lmpossible for woodwind runs to be played cleanly at this tempo.

I'm playing this in high school :) and it's not the easy version...

we playing this im fucking fucked

Too fast

It's a procession, not an invasion.

What's the rush??? It's a "procession" not a 'sprint'....SMH.

This doesn't make sense, someone explain what they are doing with those instruments?

very good.....but on the fast side

No resonance on the intro 8th notes that build to the main melody. It would be better if this band would play notes to their actual length instead of hiding behind a fast tempo.

tooo fast

too fast. Take your time and enjoy it.

Unfair no horns

Pace, a little too fast for my liking. And though I prefer the symphonic version, nicely done!

Meanwhile playing this in 7th grade

Unfortunately the piece loses so much at this over exuberant tempo. Flexibility in speed and character in new material at middle section also loses out through inability to exploit contrast. Too easy to mistake this reading as something other than a Procession. You process on your heels, not on your toes. Excellent ensemble though.

spoken like a true arrogant musician

this piece sucks lmao
