This was run over on Th a while back, and I thought it might be interesting here, too.

What are some of your favorite wind ensemble/symphonic band pieces? Either performed or heard qualifies. If you played it, what part did you play?


I'll start things off, in no particular order:
La Fiesta Mexicana, H. Owen Reed (played first trumpet)
Othello, Alfred Reed (played first cornet)
March from Symphonic Metamorphosis, Hindemith
Symphony in Bb, Hindemith
Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Paganini, (played first trumpet)
Niagra Falls (can't remember the composer's name)
Sensemaya, mexican composer I can't remember right now, trumpet 3
Lord of the Rings, Johann De Meij (Specific movement is Gollum..hardest thing I've seen!) (played trumpet 4, I think...3rd gray hair from the left has taken some memory cells away!)
