Great song, but this day marked the beginning of the end of the USA. Thanks Obama, you could have brought the country together, but instead we have what we have today. It will never be the same.
It's Veterans Day In 2023 * Nashville Tennessee
John Williams? Seriously? If I didn't know better I might have mistaken this for Aaron Copeland. Commissioning a BRITISH composer to "write" the music for Obama's inauguration was a portent of the "Diminish America" policy he would implement. Still, "Simple Gifts" is a traditional Shaker melody, not God Save the Queen; the basis for My Country Tis of Thee.
BTW after the musical performance I understand Yo-Yo Ma pulled his signature instrument from his pocket and performed "Around the World" and "Walk the Dog."
A sight to behold! So joyful, so much excitement, and so much optimism!
Simply amazing
ワシントンD.C.ですね♪🤗ワシントンD.C.のポトマック河畔には日本🇯🇵の桜🌸が110年経った今も季節に咲き誇っている‼️😊💕🌸💗貴方の素晴らしいチェロも60年も人々を楽しませています❣️😘💕🎻🌸💗🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Love it for the Jaws feel
This day still brings me to tears. It was one of the most beautiful moments in our country. Been a while since we've had one so lovely.
I was I had been there in person. I was in school, and they played it in the library.
Ámulva hallgatom. Maga a csoda.
Que linda!!!me conmueve mi ser interno, gracias, gracias 😊.👋👋🎶🎶🎻🙏🌹🌈🌹🌈🌹🌈
They played live, playing along with a previously recorded a track for the amplification system.
Spectacular
A moment in time
Wonderful. Thank you. ❤️🌹We miss you Mr. President.
I was there! For them to play with such ease is amazing __especially because it was ridiculously cold that day!!!
They didn’t actually play, and it was kind of a controversy. It was pre-recorded, and they put soap on their bows to prevent noise
Is so amazing! Maestro Itzhak Perlman my favorite violinist 🎻❤️ and Yo Yo Ma!🌹, Very beautiful!
What a joy!
It felt like the beginning of a new era of hope and progress
Lordy, I'm old enough that I remember watching it live. Only later did I find out that John Williams composed the piece. Jimmy.
Its not by John Williams -- It was composed by Aaron Copland
Much better than J-Lo's 2021 performance.
When will happy days be back again ? mxncb
It is a cycle. When it is late summer we forget the lessons of last winter. Happy days will be back when we remember how cold it is to disregard any loss life for the sake of cold hard cash, when we give a cold shoulder to the people among us who are always left out in the cold. Time will only be happy when all people have the opportunity and access to happiness. Not just our preferred group. Trump and supporters of authoritarianism have to go away in shame before we see any happiness again.
Today my guy. Today
Everyone look back at this moment
It sounds very much like Copland
I came here from watching yo-yo's JFK recital in 1962 (just to see if the 7 year old was still in him)... A John Williams composition here... magic moments: 0:10 0:50 1:23 (which amazed yo-yo)... 4:00 nice ending.
i like yo yo ma's Cello! 😍
Diego Angarita Jr. well no shit he is the best cellist in the world
@@CoecaCola He sure is
I love Cellos
It's a Stradivarius!
Gabriela Montero is a musical genius and pianist par excellence, as the rest of this great quartet would be the first to acknowledge. She has been performing classical concertos since she was 8 years old. Her improvisational skills are unbelievable. Listen to a few of her youtube videos and prepare to be astounded. I am glad she got to perform at Obama's first inauguration. Maybe she'll play for Hillary's in 2017!
Thesaurus Rex well that changed
Well fuck
I'm going to check out her improvisational skills (you can have the composed recitals)...
Best day ever!
Just wait for this upcoming January.
@@Awgez24 fingers crossed, man
@@IsaacW. We have come full circle.
1:22 clarinet solo
The pianist and the clarinetist are out of their league. Political correctness at its best.
The pianist is Gabriela Montero, a fantastic Venezuelan American artist. Her engagements include acclaimed performances with the New York Philharmonic, LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Cleveland Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, and WDR Sinfonieorchestre Koln. Recent collaborators include conductors Claudio Abbado, Gustavo Dudamel, James Gaffigan, Lorin Maazel, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, and Leonard Slatkin. In recital she has appeared at the festivals of Salzburg, Istanbul, Kuhr, Ravinia, and Tanglewood, as well as the Koln Philharmonie, Tonhalle Dusseldorf, Kennedy Center and Library of Congress in Washington DC, Wigmore Hall in London, Gewandhaus Leipzig, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Orchard Hall Tokyo and at the ‘Progetto Martha Argerich’ Festival in Lugano where she is invited annually.Gabriela's innovative perspectives are also in wide demand outside of the classical music world. For the second time, Gabriela Montero is invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland as a featured speaker. She also participates in the Women of the World Festival held at London's Southbank Centre. She is an honored recipient of the 2012 Rockefeller Award for her contributions to the arts.WHAT LEAGUE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Pardon, I forgot...yes, awards: Gabriela Montero earned two ECHO Awards from the Deutsche Phono-Akademie: the Keyboard Instrumentalist of the Year Award in 2006, and the Klassik-ohne-Grenzen Award for Bach and Beyond in 2007. In February 2008 her follow up EMI recording of improvisations Baroque was nominated for a Grammy Award and released with great critical acclaim, receiving 5 star reviews from BBC Music Magazine and Classic FM. LEAGUE? WHAT LEAGUE?
The big leagues.
Herman Ingram Big leagues? Maybe, Walmart Music Award? Oh I see..I got it now, Hollywood? The People music awards sponsored by...Dollar deal? Perhaps you think GUSTAVO DUDAMEL is a Mexican singer too?
Herman Ingram The clarinetist, Anthony McGill, is a wonderful clarinetist. He is currently the Principle Clarinetist with the New York Philharmonic, and was the former Principle Clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and was also Associate Principle Clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He has appeared as soloist with many orchestras including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the American Symphony Orchestra and the New York String Orchestra, all at Carnegie Hall. In January of 2015 he performed and recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto with the New York Philharmonic. Other recent performances have been with the Baltimore Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Memphis Symphony, Orchestra 2001 and the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, in addition to collaborating with many top notch performers. He is also a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, and is in demand as a teacher, and serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School, the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, Bard College Conservatory of Music and Manhattan School of Music, and has given master classes throughout the United States, Europe and South Africa. He is very well-respected in his field.
Sounds like a funeral.
You should have said REQUIEM, not funeral. Political correctness? Educate, research, learn...then post
It's also bad for the instrument, a sudden change in temperature can untune an instrument
Its not an excuse, if its cold its hard to play
The pianist is clearly white.
It sounds like Yo-yo Ma...sounds like an Asian voice anyway..
まさに平和の音楽ですね
Sooo... they faked it. The YoYoMa excuse is odd. When you see him performing, or rather faking playing his cello, he appears to be really playing. But he said it was too cold to play...? Wha'??? *scratching head... He said he would of broken a string but then he's playing the cello... clearly the thing is rubbing ON the strings... and he's pressing on the strings too... what if the string would of broken anyways and the pre recorded music would of been still playing... gg
A Jew, a Chinese, an African, and a Hispanic collectively improvising on John William's copy cat composition based on Dvorack's "New World" Symphony theme.
i remember watching this and crying when it went on live (sigh) :) beautiful
none of them are using their expensive instruments, yo yo ma is using a cello that looks like its made from plastic, definitely not his davydov or domenico montagnana
You have such a profound impact on my carrier that even the biggest thank you text would fall short to express my gratitude. Thanks for your support ❤️❤️❤️
2 people who disliked must have had their strings soaped
huh? that shit was most definately live... at least the piano was... my friend was was good friends with gabriela at the time... and was with her right before she went out ...
huh? that shit was most definately live...
Que hermoso mirar el placer que les da tocar y las bellas armonías fluyendo
@untouchable1412 dude ur so right!
@PetrossDelta: I'm totally sure. Look: nytimes.com/2009/01/23/arts/music/23band.html
@cuijin Or they could be using lesser instruments. (unless you're totally sure about the prerecording, which seems very likely)
I read about it in news accounts online. It was never a secret (unlike the lip syncing in the Beijing Olympics), and there's no shame in it...they couldn't have played in tune in the weather, so it was necessary.
how did you know that?
