Real reactions from the players, directors & students who love Behemoth.
this is why I ❤ music and band in general it sounds so good if you put it in the right hands and feel so accomplished after playing the song
It's pain every other measure switches to 2/4 to 3/4
Seriously a beautiful, but absolutely powerful piece of music! I am just blown away by this! I love that it has that 5/4 clave rhythm, divided into alternating 2/4 and 3/4 meters. So cool!! :)
I played this piece in band for 8th grade and it was so fun!!! I loved the challenge of switching from 2/4 to 3/4!! Playing it on oboe was so fun I loved how the song pushed me to learn to move my fingers faster and to play better and have better timing.
Playing this in band as a percussionist and having to rest so much as P1 IS SUCH A PAIN BUT I LOVE THE SONG
Playing this as 1st Trumpet genuinely a fun piece once you got the time signature down
I love the Alto 2 part! It perfectly accompanies every part of the song without requiring a melody.
I watched my friend play the play part and just played the D and A on marimba quietly almost the whole song just to pass the time cause I didn't have a part. I used 4 mallets and did 2 octaves of it. Lowkey fire
