Post by: Eupher on March 04, 2012, 05:05:47 PM: It wasn't composed for a movie, as a standalone piece and later used in his 3rd Symphony, but Aaron Copland composed this piece and named it aptly.

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsOn8TW7tHM[/youtube]

Kevin Costner is cheesy in this film, but the music's inspiring. John Barry did good with this one. There is something visceral about horns in F pitched low.

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground Iâ€™ll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

Where before many more have gone

After a lifetime of playing marches, they're kinda fun to play but I don't like listening to 'em all that much, unless they're executed PERFECTLY. Not many instances of that.

That said, Kenneth Alford's marches are stately, veddy British (of course) and make me want to march to London. A couple of his that are well known include the theme music to the film Bridge Over the River Kwai, aka "Colonel Bogey," and "Army of the Nile." Excellent countermelodies for euphonium, rivalled only by Karl L. King's stuff which is real barnburner and designed to get your toes tapping.

But, hopefully, my cavalry roots were showing with William Tell and The Ride of the Valkyries. (Just a bit.)

Excellent choice, CC.

I gotta comment on this a little bit.

Gustav Holst was a Brit and as a Brit, he happened to be partial to the euphonium, my preferred instrument.

The standard orchestral instrumentation does not include the euphonium, but he incorporated one in this composition in both soloist and supporting roles. Listen to the piece again, especially around 2:18 and then the exchange with the trumpets at about 2:54. Stellar stuff, no pun intended. Extra added bonus for this being the Chicago Symphony. CSO arguably has the best orchestral brass section on the freakin' PLANET.

Other composers rarely have used the euphonium, but this is perhaps the most well-known composition that uses the instrument. Often, the Brits will bring in a euphonium player to play the part; in other circumstances they'll forego the 2nd trombone part and he'll play the euphonium part. (Anything to save a buck. :whatever: )

Anyway, I'm delighted you selected this piece. Epic stuff! h5!

Excerpts from Ben Hur, recorded and taped 1979 (film released in 1959). Make sure to wait for the Parade of the Charioteers, around 7:30 or so.
