Had to play this song for my high school festival. From 1:08-1:30, I can still hear the cries from 2nd violins and violas playing the hooked notes and constant rhythm clappings on Beats 1-3-6 and 1-3-4-6...
LMFAOOO I'm here cause of twoset and I fell in love with the piece. My teacher is looking for a new piece to conduct for us I wanna suggest this. Anyone have Suggestions?
You know what? The second movement conducted by Eddie sounded better with that youth orchestra then this recording. I think it wasn't intentional but I like that better.
Nothing disturbs the graceful amiability of this early work, begun a year before Elgar's marriage in 1889. These "little tunes," as the composer called them, are about as far as one can get from the patriotic fervor of the Pomp and Circumstance marches and the emotional intensity of the larger orchestral works. All three movements, Allegro piacevole, Larghetto and Allegretto, are enchanting: the first liltingly rhythmic, the second a meditation of serene beauty on a melody similar to that of the Lento movement in the Symphony No. 1, the third a genial reworking of first-movement themes. The opening movement, in 6/8 time, is based around an opening theme which is suffused with the feel of English ballad; perhaps some snatch of West-Country melody caught the young composer's ear and worked its way into his creative process. It weaves in and out of minor and major before yielding to the no less serene second theme, bearing Elgar's trademark interval of a seventh leap. This same thumbprint figure can be found in the sensitive following movement, in which there is a constant unfolding of melody rather than contrasting themes. A Tristan-like turn, as well as a phrase which seems to be a quotation from that opera (Elgar was an unashamed admirer of Wagner's music), are worked up to a crest which subsides; overall, though, the music is purged of excessive chromaticism, and any Wagnerisms used in a very different and sensitive context. The closing movement uses a sunny and winsome theme also in 6/8 and returns to the seventh leap of the opening movement, the theme in its final resolution bearing a curious resemblance to the trio of the last Pomp and Circumstance nearly 40 years later. Coincidental? Perhaps, but also indicative that nothing is incongruous within one's own frame of reference. Elgar, himself a violinist, was sensitive to the coloration of the string orchestra, and his touch does not falter throughout a work which he described as being "real stringy." There is no straining after effect and no obvious personal or pictorial associations -- all is pure music as well as pure poetry. Yet anyone who knows the English countryside around Hereford where Elgar lived can hardly fail, especially in the second movement, to be reminded of that peaceful, solitary landscape. The composer made an arrangement of the Serenade for piano duet, though it is now difficult to think of it other than in its original form. (AllMusic)
I'd have just recognized elgar as a composer of 'Salut d'amour'. That was one of my fault in life. It's so beautiful. from now, He is my best composer.
honestly, I don't even know how to describe the feelings of joy that this piece gives me, whenever I listen I can feel myself drifting away to a different world of mine ;) This would probably be my pick if I had to choose my favourite composition by Elgar (there are many other ones though, of course)
I'm here cause of twoset and I fell in love with the piece. My teacher is looking for a new piece to conduct for us I wanna suggest this. Anyone have Suggestions?
Sometimes in a group of highly talented individuals there will be one guy who really shouldn't be there but somehow fell in through the cracks in the selection process. This happened with the Western classical canon and Elgar
Ah, yes, the beautiful rests in the bass section. Brings tears to my eyes.
Same
The most difficult part to play out of all of the sections
What do you mean
The viola is
DRUNK_ANDROID in this case some of the viola part is harder than the violins
it's not fun when you have to learn this piece in 3 weeks and you are not even year 8
i am struggling

those are hell to play. it takes so much out of me mentally (i’m a viola)
literally doing this piece rn and my whole section is playing random stuff its so hard to concentrate 😭😭(im first chair 2nd vln)
That part is hell
Violas always have to play the syncopated rhythms. You get used to it, you even get good at it
It’s not a song
this is surely a bop
I spy a viola player
@@dabbinrascal7975 true though (says a viola player)
@@dabbinrascal7975 As a second violinist who played this, I agree with Lilia that it is indeed a bop.
dum da dum dum dum dum
I know das right
I've always loved the second movement of this piece. It was fun to play and beautiful at the same time.
Here after TwoSet’s video!
lol same
noice

Elgar is always so evocative.
Wow, this Serenade is such a gentleman. It teaches me a lesson how beautiful the simple things can be in life.
this piece evokes an indescribable emotion
I'd have just recognized elgar as a composer of 'Salut d'amour'. That was one of my fault in life. It's so beautiful. from now, He is my best composer.
people listening to this piece bcs they have to perform it
👇🏾
Elgar, one of my favorite composer. Thanks for sharing the score.

This would probably be my pick if I had to choose my favourite composition by Elgar (there are many other ones though, of course)
It almost sounds like an anime background track
im playing this in orch this year so good!
I played cello on this piece in orchestra, and I must say: it’s super difficult, but so fulfilling!
Music for my soul
I'm here cause of twoset and I fell in love with the piece. My teacher is looking for a new piece to conduct for us I wanna suggest this. Anyone have Suggestions?
Tchaikovsky string serenade because why not
@@randotryhard6072 dvorak string serenade is also great but tchaikovsky's is probably my favorite.
@@SunnyKhuranaViolin Dvorak string serenade is good. I agree.
love this piece. Thanks for the sheetmusic
Why is the 2nd violin piece so hard in the 2nd movement ;-; Learning this is a pain
It is a beautiful part though!
L. Lawliet Hi L; we all tough you were dead.
What a surprise to see you here and with the fact that you play the violin :D
The second violin part is genuinely harder than the first part in every movement.
I dont know TT
Shut up weeb xd
6:48 is so lovely
Movement 2 sounds straight out of a Disney movie omg
Quite wonderful ! Allegro Piacevole is so intense in beauty, it´s beyond words..
Thanks for sharing this with us. Watching the score connects me more to the music.
Thank you for this, I enjoyed it a lot. Love this piece of Elgar,
Ah yes, the letter C at 1:07 that the conductor always wanted you to start at
Yea can confirm . My school’s string orchestra struggled here
My new favorite music😍😍😍😍🥺
Very beautiful.
I am in middle school playing the Allegro Piacevole... except I am a viola so everything is easier.
Same
This is my go to anti depressant
5:55 no more words needed
Yes.
Fabulosa!!!
Playing these songs with viola are so fun
This old favorite was recorded in EMI's studio, also known as Abbey Road. Not a bad place to record.
I like this is very good🎶🎵
Ahhhh second movement!!!
Sometimes in a group of highly talented individuals there will be one guy who really shouldn't be there but somehow fell in through the cracks in the selection process. This happened with the Western classical canon and Elgar
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏽🌹🌹🌹
1:08 my favorite
Hell to play on second violin, but the rest of the piece is fun
I love that.
à 5'26 on(je) croirait entendre Ennio Moricone qui a dù bien écouter ce passage où flotte aussi Mahler
Definitely choice bath music
It's very gud.
I think i come here because two set video haha
I love this
Let's dance!
This is for our chamber concert.
*_in middle school_*
Sublime.
Very nice work! ❤❤❤👏👏👏
maybe i'm playing this in orchestra this year?
I heard the first part in a movie or a movie trailer. Does anyone know ehich one it is?
Прекрасно!..
7:25
Anybody else see or hear a resemblance of the Larghetto of this piece to Mahler’s Adagietto “Karajan?” Maybe some influences?
True. Both are fantastic.
Why Karajan ?
I do. Lots of resemblance with Mahler's music there. :) Love it. Fantastic pieces of music.
直的鼻樑下有一個薄薄的嘴唇他常常在黑板上寫出一句名言一寫便是兩個星期寫的時候非常用
It's MECHA good.
We're playing this in my high school orchestra. It's a pain in the ass :(
It's Ultra gud.
It's gud.

勁一筆一劃橫豎撇捺分明粉筆發出刺耳的聲音可是他從來不去解釋當中的意思而這次寫的是老
Interesting interpretation. Kinda ignores many of the dynamic markings .
11:56
Tchaikovsky and Dvorak's Serenade for Strings blow this out the water.
Then why would you come listen to it? Haha
Zacharias Moerk-jensen because I hadn’t heard it before. Go figure haha
Where are you from?
I don’t agree. All 3 are beautiful
I haven’t heard those pieces but this was an early work by Elgar, and I doubt they blow it out of the water. Elgar is the greater composer.
