Thank You very much for sharing this beautifull piece with us❤

Hello, Mr. Scatterday! Please tell me, is it possible to find a recording of Rachmaninov's Vocalise arranged by Donald Hunsberger? I know that there is a recording of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra given to Mr. Fennell.

So much fun playing with Alexa again and...my first time ever with the EWE and Mark Scatterday!

Anyone know who did the arrangement for wind orchestra? Was it Corigliano himself?

Bravo!

So poetic that he attended Eastman for his studies and is back for this solo opportunity!

Yes, it is. If you can't use a shotgun, then there is no point in playing this symphony.

This is the only truly perfect piece ever written.

After knowing of this piece for 25 yrs, I am only now really coming of age to appreciate it. It’s powerful.

How do you play this without crying???

Wow. I had no idea there was a band arrangement of this. Well, you'd be hard pressed to find a better soloist than Steve Williamson. And I fear that after a prosperous first decade, this concerto - which I rank in the same circle as Nielsen, Copland, and Francaix - has not really caught on as it should.

FABULOUS performance!! This piece is my all-time favorite. Ron Nelson's masterpiece.

Exquisite performance of one of the pillars of band literature!

Bravo! I had the honor of playing this masterpiece back in the Spring of 1980 at Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas. Clifton Williams' music is in an elite class by itself and should be played more often! Every section is given a chance to shine in his works.

That was great! Thanks for sharing!

Who is performing this??

5 flats is not a good key for sax, and then you don’t even use half of them

I am laughing at the ridiculous need for masks for wind players - they had holes so large in the masks...what is the point. I suspect that is what the musicians were trying to get across. Nice performance - the french horns had a very clear tone - much better than other performances I have heard with baritones

my teacher taught danyew

you neglected the shotgun

Love, love, love the French horns.

excelente !!

All-world-all-time composer. Unappreciated and underappreciated by too many. I hear Copland licks. You were a genius, Clifton.

I don’t understand why everyone loves this piece. Yes, it’s on a sensitive subject matter, the poem is nice and their heart is in the right place, but the piece itself is so uninteresting. The first half is a generic funeral march with no memorable melody. The second also has no compelling melody and sounds like a million other band pieces. On top of that, this piece invites a comparison to another work: Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) by Mahler which I feel was given infinitely more thought, full of symbolism and irony. As a connoisseur of sad music, I wanted way more out of Into The Silent Land. Maybe people are afraid to criticize it because of what it is about?

Awesome rendition! Any information about the transcription/arrangement?

Such a fantastic performance. Lovely recording too!

Who is the arranger of this setting?

Earlier today, our symphonic band played this, is was the end of band camp. And I didn't really know what to expect, they played phenomenally and picked out cool pieces. But nobody heard about his one, only the people who playing it knew about it. Our lead band director, and the ( and director of the camp) gave out a speech after their second piece. They threw up the photos of victims, i remembered him saying, "we remember tragedies, we remember what we were doing, where we were. But I don't remember where I was when Columbine happened, Santa Fe, or robb Elementary. Elementary, middle schools, high schools, are effected, this shouldn't happen. We need to remember, we to take action." And like that they started playing. The whole theater was quiet. I was crying during the song, so many other people. Even the musicians were having trouble having dry eyes. After the show I heard one of them talking about how alot people were teary up while playing the concert. It was a shock, hearing them play, after it was over, a girl came up to the microphone qnd read a poem. It tore me apart, it was quiet, probably only 15 seconds, but felt like longer, lingering. It was a concert I won't forget.

Filled me with goosebumps! Amazing piece!

Played this on the bass drum/crotales. Such a powerful piece with very good and fitting percussion writing.

Magnificent performance of this wonderful piece!

Clifton Williams, "Jimmy" was one of my music professors at the University of Miami. Played this under his baton, along with other Williams pieces. And he was a very nice man to boot! I enjoyed many lunches with him in the mid 60's. When I became a band director he guest conducted his Variation Overture with my Junior High band. Unforgettable! RIP my friend.

An excellent performance

Not a bad performance. The tempos, phrasing and timbre qualities lack the depth given by Fennell and the TKWO ua-cam.com/video/khFP8UepTn0/v-deo.html

Played Clifton’s music in undergrad at Vanderbilt- thank you for performing this so well! This is music that should see more regular performances across the country.

Admirable project.

Bravo performance!

this. this was the song that broke me. i remember hearing it in my freshman year, played by our senior band. one of the band directors got his elementary school daughter to say the ending and that made me cry so hard.

There is an awkward, weird time in this piece... It's the ending. It's so captivating that you want to applaud the ensemble but it doesn't feel right. When I listened to this piece live, the audience didn't know when to clap because it was so well done.

What a joy to hear such fine musicianship performing this fine transcription for wind ensemble! There are few sounds I enjoy more than tuté pianissimo and fortissimo. (Triggers very faint memories of the San Diego High School Honor Band circa 1965~66 with UCSB's Professor Faulkner (?) conducting. I was playing oboe.)

Why are all the performers not listed here? Amazing to them play with masks.

Great interpretation of this piece that is rarely played

As if this piece wasn't chilling enough, we decided to play this for a member of our university band who had passed away earlier in the semester

Great performance!!! Thanks for posting!!
