My bass is fucked up, the dude who had it before me tried to customize it and shaved of half of one side of the bridge and the school won't allow me to put a new one on
When I was in the 7th grade, I wanted to play this song so badly. However, I was put into the intermediate orchestra because the orchestra needed people from advanced to lead them and help them out. I was pissed when I found out advanced played this song
1:04 is where this music really hits me. it touches my soul in ways i can't even begin to describe, but I can definitely say that it always makes me cry :') I so can't wait to perform this piece and bring forth the same emotions that I'm feeling right now, to my audience.
Wow... In my school it's called the "symphonic" band.... Which orchestra students aren't allowed to join. So it's not a true symphony as started in the name.
I played this in my 8th grade orchestra as a cellist. It was the best song I have ever played so fun, sad, and emotional. There was emotion behind it because it was the last song I played with my best friends, they where my everything but we where all going to different high schools, we had so much fun I remember looking over at my friend that sat next to me we where both first stand always competing for first chair 😂. We loved playing the whole song through, we would warm up in class by playing without our teacher to do it without a conductor and we where great at least in my mind we where. And so dedicated, it is a beautiful song. We all one day shared what we envisioned when listening to it, I used to see a warrior on the battlefield, ridding on his horse, now all I can see during the song is that last concert we had as a friend group and I can only remember at the end the pure joy and loss I felt. This song and every song from middle school have a special place in my heart, I still talk to my friends from time to time but we have drifted apart sadly and I went through a tough time the last few years without them but this song brings back that hope and pure joy in my heart. I loved my friends with all my heart like family we where all very close being in a very small school we all had classes and lunch together.(Sorry for the life story it’s late and I just want to share). I loved my old orchestra teacher as well she showed use a passion for music and the beauty in it, I have sadly lost the talent I once had and the passion but listening to this gives me that passion back and the drive I have to play the cello. I just wanted to say this, maybe one of my old friends will see this. No matter what I will always love my friends as family even if we have drifted. I love you guys ♥️
3:14-3:22 always makes me tear up. For some reason I imagine some ex-warriors at their old age, with their surviving buddies, thinking about everything they've been through and how their golden years went by so fast and now the new generation of warriors will go on without them. Maybe I'm reading too deep into this lol.
This is probably my favorite piece I have EVER played. I am a bass player in a, more or less, charity group and this is one of our pieces. The greatest part, we play stuff like this and harder pieces without a conductor! ah, so beautiful.
2:34 is always so pretty to me, i’m currently playing this in my orchestra and everytime we get to this part it fills me with emotion. it truly is such a beautiful and emotional curated piece, one of my favorites i’ve ever played for sure.
I'm in seventh grade, but my school strings orchestra is terrible. My teacher is great and I''m not bad I actually think I'm pretty good along with a few other kids in my class, but us good players get blocked out by the students who aren't very good. I don't want to be mean but I wish there was a way to just have the players who are good play together. It would change our reputation because everyone in the school thinks we suck, and its just terrible for people to think we suck even though most of us have potential.
Same! I'm in seventh-grade as well and there are some amazing kids in my class. Although we are the best orchestra in our county, we still get made fun of by our fellow band students because they are way better than us.. That is why this year I am going to go to the talent show with my friends and we are going to play a song that will leave people speechless. I recommend doing the same if you are tired of having a bad a reputation.
I would, but their aren't many good solo songs for violas. I do play a little piano I'll probably do that if I get better over the year. I wrote about how terrible people are to us for an English class. I hope it gets around the school and people stop.
We just started playing last week and we are onto the beginning of the third page, and I'm a first violin...i love and hate being a first violin at the same time
Gotta love all music composed by Soon Hee Newbold. Sure, the pieces are so hard to play but so beautiful at the same time. I’ll never forget when my Orchestra class did Lion City at CMEA. Brings back so much memories from high school
My sister played when she was in middle school, Now, I’m a freshman (9th grader) playing this song before the day of the orchestra festival or concert.
i really love soon hee newbold. i played perseus the other day in a concert and i loved it. i checked out some other songs and like...i dunno. i just love their songs.
I'm a cellist and I'm playing this now with my orchestra group and it looks so hard to learn but it's fun and sounds so good! especially the cello part
I'm sooooo jealous of you, I'm in the seventh and eighth honors orchestra but we don't even try it, the high schoolers play it my teacher is so unfair!!!
My orchestra is playing this song!!! I am a cellist.... And this song makes me feel so freaking awesome!!! My favorite part is...... The whole thing.. Duh
playing this for our end-of-year 7th grade concert. Even though we, (the violas) had practically no melody, still felt like a bad ass with those 12/8 rhythms.
EVerytime I go to practice this song at home I have to pull this up and play with it. I love this song it's so beautiful an d reminds a me private of the carribean -3
Jesus, I had to sight read this song at school for a collaboration with an orchestra group from Australia. Here I thought this song was going to be really hard, but it's simple and badass.
I'm playing this in orchestra and we r totally epic at it, it reminds me of Narnia (a medly) we played a few years ago (Yes the movie Narnia) and this sound like it belongs outta those movies
Woa. My new best friend can play the chello parts of this in our school's orchestra. She told me about how awesome this song was, and now I realize it. I have to watch her play it now. Anyway, this is awesome!
It was All Southern Orchestra Middle School. Did you know she has three black belts in all three martial arts, she's an actor, and she's also a producer? :3
