This piece is incredible. It's so much fun to play, has a high energy that keeps you at the edge of your seat, and is filled with learning experiences.
Most fun piece I’ve ever played. All the key changes kept me on the edge of my seat and in 10th grade when I played this I was just absolutely blown away to see all the crazy stuff the tuba part had.
in my freshman year of hs i was introduced to this beautiful piece. the symphonic band played it at our schools winter concert and because of this piece i was really inspired to join the symphonic band. 3 years later, as a senior who’s going to college for music education and composition (also partially because of this piece) i’m happy to say the symphonic band is playing vesuvius again and i’m the percussion section leader. it’s like a dream come true!
The hospital nursery band is playing this tonight. I'm the super-concertmaster (born yesterday btw) and we're so excited to be playing this at double the tempo!
My band director loved this piece I think we played it minimum 2 times. But it was by far one of my favorite pieces. Low brass had the best parts in this I think (I was a baritone player)
This piece is really fun to play but also a pain in the arse cuz it goes from 3/4 to 2/4 to 6/8 to 1/4. One of the hardest pieces i’ve played as a 13 year old
My field show is in 9/8, the easiest way to think about it is by grouping, not by counting every beat. I think the pattern is 12 123 12 12, just think 1 2 3 4 with a longer 2, bob your head, and just get in a groove, after you feel it its pretty easy.
Watch how the conductor is conducting. 9/8 is done with the same pattern as 3/4. Down, over, up. (split up in groups of 3. I.e. 123/223/323) 12/8 is the same pattern as 4/4. Down, left, right, up. (123/223/323/423). It's very similar to triplets on a standard 4/4 or 3/4 pattern
@@andrewperez6147 you're right. Sadly i counted it correctly in my head, then wrote the wrong information. Granted it's been over 10 years since i played this piece or looked at the music.
Typ0e well you know how it is when you all get a little too excited/nervous and accidentally start a chain reaction of everyone playing to fast...I thought it sounded great though, I actually teared up a little it was so beautiful 🤷♀️
@@SinkularJame indeed he is. It was just interesting to hear a different take from pretty much all other recordings and I’m also surprised the person who composed it went away from the tempo he selected. Maybe this is later after it was released and he decided he wanted to change it up a little bit. Either way it sounds good, and my comment wasn’t in a negative light.
