Rephrygeration by Todd Stalter - Score & Sound

Rephrygeration
By Todd Stalter

Item: 00-45001
Series: Alfred Concert Band
Grade 4
Format: Conductor Score & Parts

A dynamic concert opener or closer cast almost entirely in the Phrygian mode. The half steps that make this scale mode so unique are celebrated both in a melodic and harmonic sense, with aggressive low brass figures, crisp and rhythmic percussion, and winding passages in the woodwind. (2:50)

Todd Stalter’s pieces are the music equivalent of crackhead energy

[kristianbailes]

i feel like this would be a good piece for a movement of a marching band show

[yomama]

U can hear the Alto Sax part so clearly it's amazing (Tenor as well)

[frenchhornfreak]

Alto saxes:
French horns: HOLD MY BEER

[kormagogthedestroyer]

This is the most realistic depiction of ADHD I have ever seen

[jacob]

It’s weird to think that this piece is about keeping food at a comfortable temperature

[theraginginfernape]

bum. bumbum. bumbumbumbumbumbum. buuu bum. BUMBUM. BUMBUMBUMBUMBUMBUM. BUUUM BUM. So lit

[derekaguila]

the tuba and bass clarinet at 1:21 sounds like a cello... which is really dope

[julianganseco]

I just had a stroke looking at the sheet music and finding out the tempo is 160 bpm

[maxbehymer]

It wasn't until after listening to the piece twice and analyzing it both those times that I realized that the title "Rephrygeration" Was a pun. Future band director here guys... lmao

My high school band took this to state, I remember loving this song. We didn’t have enough percussions to play this song, so I had to play bass and suspended symbol at the same time, and switch to slapstick. Overall it was a fun experience

[kaaalee]

This has to be one of the best written songs in musical history!

[what_a_swole_guy_]

A piece as good as this would sound cool in Star Wars.

[jupiter]

My band played this last year, and we're so obssesed with it

[JaviDavis-kn]

I know this has already been commented, but the french horns at 2:08 are FIRE

[calebjackson]

Almost all of Todd Stalter's songs are very fast and sporadic 😂

[Silky_J]

Composed for my group, and we are playing it this year. Absolutely amazing :)

[brennah]

This song was rearranged and it became the closer to my school’s marching show this year!

[minaminatwice]

i would cut my toe off just to play this piece in band i love it sm
edit: please stop giving this attention 😔😔
edit 2: it’s now my senior year, my band director has finally started taking suggestions again for our final concert so this will be my fourth year in a row submitting this piece along with a few others i’ve wanted to play. will update when we get our final pieces

final update: it’s the day of our final concert, this song is a part of our program, and i’m sick. So i can’t even play the song i said i would cut my toe off for. Love my life

[kaylastewart]

amazing piece, my band took it from australia to hawaii and played it for months
