| Well played, Im impressed, that you are in time with this conducting. but I want to see the orchestra and not the conductor |

| A true classic of modern American music! I have this track as part of Adams' Earbox set, but have never heard it live . . . thanks so much for the post! |
| An interesting bit ... ( 8 months ago by mrazm) |
| An interesting bit of trivia: an excerpt from this piece was used in a scene from the 1987 movie Barfly starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway. |

| I really love this piece, and it is well played here. But I'm pretty sure I've never seen such strange conducting. |
| If you take a look ... ( 7 months ago by jabber12345) |
| If you take a look at the original score you will see why there is this "strange conducting". The original version is composed in small modules and submodules repeated until the conductor gives the performers numbered cues to change to the next module. In fact, the first movement has not meter, only the single metronome marking quarter = 144. |

| Stupid question, but is there a clarinet part for this at all? And how difficult is it? |

| Here's another one :p John Adams' music (including this fascinating piece) features heavily in the computer game, Civilization IV. |
| I love this video. ... ( 4 months ago by redflags123) |
| I love this video. It takes enormous courage and skill for a professor to guide his pupils to learn and perform a piece like this. Kudos to all involved and a hearty thanks for bringing this video to YouTube! |
| you're right, and ... ( 3 months ago by Keytaster) |
| you're right, and because this piece was misinterpreted so often John Adams wrote it out :-) Watch "SummerFest 2002: John Adams: A Precise Process" That's some interesting stuff... |
| Wow, these are all ... ( 2 months ago by TomSwirly) |
| Wow, these are all teenagers, right?! Top of the line performance of this excellent piece, and what a great experience for a kid to have! |
| I'd just like to ... ( 2 weeks ago by Matthewcmiel) |
| I'd just like to point out that there were no professors or teachers involved in this project whatsoever. It is from a new music ensemble of teenagers. No one performing is over 18, and the "head" of the ensemble was barely 18 at the time of this video. Now I'm all mature at the grand old age of 19... |
| Ahhh this reminds ... ( 3 days ago by sugarhed) |
| Ahhh this reminds me of the one year where the music staff made us play more Late Romantic/Modern pieces like Debussy (Nuages), Stravinsky(The Firebird) and Shostakovich (String Quartet No. 8). Let me just say it was more liberating playing those pieces than playing some banal concerto by Tschaikovsky or a movement from a Brahms symphony. |
