IMPORTANT!

THERE ARE SOME CHANGES MADE TO SYF 09 SET PIECE (OVERTURE NO.1 FOR WIND BAND)

CLICK HERE!!!
-------------------------------
FOR OUR CHOICE PIECE, TO CHALLENGE THE SKY AND HEAVENS ABOVE:

Points:
1. Figure 9, it's said to be described as a Woodwinds Choir with the French Horns. This part must be equally balanced.

2. Figure 20, the sections who stars at the first crotchet of the ar, should come in together, and trumpets should not rush, and should hold the 'crescendo' note longer. To get the effect, you might want to soften just a little on the quaver before the specified note above.

3. Figure 32, balanced.

4. Figure 48, no rushing.

5. Figure 76, play within 1 single breath. Do not breath in between the notes. It breaks the whole thing.

6. From 112 onwards, Tuba and Lower Woodwinds should not rush, follow conductor, and take note of Oboe solo.

7. Figure 140, the beginning of the finale of the piece, same as of point 2.

8. Figure 152, main melody sort of play softer, Trombones and Trumpets should play in tune, and not to rush at the 4 crotchets at bar 159 and 167. Never rush at bar 167. Stagger breathe into bar 168.

9. Bar 174, never blast as it will sound unpleasant.

10. Bar 177, those with pick-a-note should crescendo at the 3rd beat.

11. Bar 186 onwards, do not rush! It spoils the whole finale. Hold the notes in the last bar longer. (follow conductor)
