Wie wärs, wenn Jazz Big Band Komponisten und Arrangeure sich beschäftigen würden mit Kontrapunkt, Polyphonie und Formenlehre der europäischen Konzertmusik, angefangen mit Palästrina bis zu Hindemith u.a.. Dann würde der Jazz die Grenzen seiner fast ausschließlich aus Songform, Monophonie, Melodie und Akkordbegleitung bestehenden Struktur transzendieren.
There's a posting of U of Michigan Symphony Band under Revelli (1967) here on youtube. The sonorities, precision, balance, voiceing, etc are over the top. See what you think.
@bene951 Try University of Michigan Symphony Band under Revelli - you won't be disappointed!
@musoderelict The recording of the United States Marine Band under Colonel Timothy W. Foley is much better than the Northwestern Symphonic Wind Ensemble. The album is called emblems.
@bene951 Thank you for that!
@musoderelict Maybe, but quite "noisy" to my taste....It sounds like big noise to me...
@bene951 Would you mind telling which performance(s) you think are better than this one? I'd be interested to know. So far this is the best one I've found! - Thanks
this is a great recording
I played this in college many years ago. All of Hindemith's pieces are very difficult.
@mediaman6 I definitely understand where you are coming from. We sight read this in our ensemble. Unfortunately the group was weak that year so we gave up.
This is one of the hardest pieces to play. Our band did it and got a I in contest after a LOT of practice. I still refer to this as "If I could do that, then I can do this." Thanks for posting as this this is probably the best performance I've ever heard.
Who is the conductor?
Wow...as usual for Hindemith.
