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 remember watching this and crying when it went on live (sigh) :) beautiful
Everyone look back at this moment
It felt like the beginning of a new era of hope and progress
A sight to behold! So joyful, so much excitement, and so much optimism!
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:
I was there! For them to play with such ease is amazing __especially because it was ridiculously cold that day!!!
Simply amazing
i like yo yo ma's Cello! 😍
Is so amazing! Maestro Itzhak Perlman my favorite violinist 🎻❤️ and Yo Yo Ma!🌹, Very beautiful!
Lordy, I'm old enough that I remember watching it live. Only later did I find out that John Williams composed the piece. Jimmy.
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!
Joseph Brackett, Shaker elder at Sabbathday Lake, Maine, wrote the song 'Tis the Gift to be Simple in 1848. Over the years, it has been shortened to Simple Gifts.
The song was recorded by Sister Mildred Barker in 1977 on Rounder Records 0078, as noted in my fiddle tune book, "New England Fiddlers Repertoire" (Fiddlecase Books, 3rd Ed. 2008).
John Williams simply adapted and arranged the original melody.
Best day ever!

2 people who disliked must have had their strings soaped
what many people don't know is that most professional artists use tracks instead of actually singing live but do a good job of faking it. i can tell because i'm a musician myself but any other person who is not a singer or musician can tell the difference between lip singing or fake playing
