I was moved to tears after hearing this. Bravo! It's great to see all those years of classical training and practice come to fruition. They have reached the summit of musical perfection. To the stars my musical angels!
Wow. The original video of this is one of my favourite videos I've ever seen, but this cracked me up even harder. I cried. Oh man, you should see my dad EVERY TIME he listens to this! So red, so teary. Amazing.
This is awesome... I laughed super hard when I heard the whining of the instruments.. Hahahaha... Go John Williams and the 4th grade students... Great job, I loved this one...
Hahahahahaha, Very funny, we covered this version. We weren't really planning to do that, though. It happened accidentally. Nontheless, this version makes me laugh everytime, because we covered this song personally even more badly xD
Hi Russell, I thought that as one maestro to another you would be deeply moved and uplifted by this rare glimpse of John Williams brilliantly conducting someone else's work. John Williams Shreds best wishes from Darius & Cathy in France
many people dont understand the genious that it takes to come up with something like this...only john williams could create such dissonant melodies and turn them into masterpieces like this
"The Portsmouth Sinfonia was an orchestra founded by a group of students at the Portsmouth School of Art in England, in 1970. The Sinfonia had an unusual entrance requirement, in that players had to either be non-musicians, or if a musician, play an instrument that was entirely new to them... Brian Eno was interested enough to join the Symphonia, playing clarinet."
Hysterical! Thanks for a good laugh, remembering my 1st day of orchestra practice in elementary school! Poor John. I wonder what he thinks of this?!?! :)
Had me laughing so hard I was crying!!!Thanks for posting this music (Thus Spake Zarthustra as recorded by a bunch of musicians that had switched instruments - playing ones they weren't skilled at, obviously)...I've been trying to find it ever since Al Franken used to use it for his "hate email of the day" segment on Air America!
I'm thinking of the video actually, the one where they put it over the opening titles of 2001, rather than over John waving his arms. It really brings it into stark relief when you have the right visuals. :)
2001 a space disaster
2001 a space heresy
I haven't laughed this hard since 2003. Everyone in my office is lame, they didn't see the humor.
We are in the same boat brother!
I laughed so hard I almost threw up.
quit your job
What happened in 2003?

I, too, was moved to tears...probably because my ears were bleeding.

Sounds like every high school band.
The emotion, the musicality, the genius that is John Williams. Amazing. Incredible. Bravo, John! Bravo!
You are not real
If I had my own orchestra, I'd want it to sound exactly like THIS.
A brilliant, breathtaking performance by The D.C. Bureaucrat Orchestra, Maestro Joseph Biden, conducting.
That's jazz for ya.
there's no jazz here
+RhythmGrizz Just a joke from the '50s bro, don't mind me.
I'm dying
Wow. The original video of this is one of my favourite videos I've ever seen, but this cracked me up even harder. I cried. Oh man, you should see my dad EVERY TIME he listens to this! So red, so teary. Amazing.
Absolute genius. Crying with emotion at the epic quality of this piece. Just beautiful!
I used to play in an orchestra when I was a child and it almost sounded this good.
This brings back memories of playing in the school orchestra !
You need to do some more. This had me laughing so much. Beautiful.
No words....no words can express the incredible amount of beauty this rendition offers.
This is an absolute classic...I had tears running down from laughing...thanks for posting, brilliant!!
I haven't laughed so much for a long time. If ever I feel down, I'll think of this video. Many, many thanks!
This is unequivocally the best video I've ever seen in several years of watching RUclips; hats off to you sir :D
This is awesome... I laughed super hard when I heard the whining of the instruments.. Hahahaha... Go John Williams and the 4th grade students... Great job, I loved this one...
Man, this takes me back to elementary school... and college...
The initial trumpets are what have me coming back for more uproarious laughter. Never fails to make me cackle like a hyena!
I'm watching this on the bus whilst heading home and I'm on the verge of laughing out so loud, I need to crack up laughing so bad :D
There are just no words to describe this....priceless!
Thank you so much for sharing this, you made my day, my month, my year, my... !!!!!
sounds like the year 5 school band in term 2
The audio is from the GREAT Portsmouth Sinfonia album - never on CD that I know. Incredible record!!!
I'm gonna die...Can't stop bursting laughter at all.
Sooooooo funny and great work , dude!!!
Priceless… sides aching! xxx Love these guys xxx
Hahahahahaha,
Very funny, we covered this version.
We weren't really planning to do that, though. It happened accidentally.
Nontheless, this version makes me laugh everytime, because we covered this song personally even more badly xD
bravo. john williams is a master of musical writing ability.
~awesome! never had a single lesson . . .
Genius, how has this not got more likes?!
To those who don't know, they switched the audio with another recording. John Williams isn't even conducting in time with the song.
best comment 10/10
No one cares.... At ALL.... 😑 We're here because this is funny. Not because we are gay for this geriatric conductor.
I have not laughed so hard in years, real tears of laughter... thanks for posting.
OMG I cant stop laughing :), sounds like the alien intro.
One of John's greatest !
this is pure genius.. my favourite shreds video
I am dead😂😂😂
Hahahahah, I got in trouble at work for laughing too hard at this video.
this brought me to tears!!!

When Pixar finally makes that short animated feature for the kids, here is their soundtrack!
A heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

This made my cry in pain.
And shriek with laughter...
My favourite shred!
I'm crying laughing at work here! Great work!
This is hillarious. A new dimension of shreds.

Just like our yr 7 music class!
I loved this on Star Trek.
This is easily one of the funniest shred videos is have seen.
This is so damn funny. My eyes are tearing from unstoppable laughter!
I kind of like it..., it still sparked the light out of me!
Yay! Portsmouth Symphonia. Pity no other orchestras had the guts to swap instruments.
or have everyone count 1-2-3. All the 1s play flat, 2s - in key, 3s play sharp!
I'm laughing my ass off !!! LOL !!!
This is the best shred video ever !!!
God, I love shreds!! Great way to cheer yourself up.
ouch. Great stuff, the beginning really makes you cry out in pain
The famous "experimental period" of John's career.
im in tears XDXD that was hilarious!!
charles Ives arranged the horns for sure !
I’m in my car laughing and ppl are looking at me strangely
He never said that it was not. By the way, this is called also sprach zarathustra, symphonic poem composed by R. Strauss after Nietzsch.
AH!!! Laughing so hard I can't breathe! Such great memories of band class!!
Thanks a lot bernhardtsen74, that's what I was looking for!
Extremely funny and well made. Thanks
Hilarious! We need more new shreds!
GENIUS RENDERING!!!!!
I heard this years ago on the DR. DIMENTO SHOW!! YEAHH!!!!!!
im still laughing > D haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa the brass section sounds incredible ,great vid.
Yes the original name of that piece is Sprach zarathustra, but it is not the theme song from Jurassic park as dayofthedave stated.
Best Rhapsody download ever!
Hysterical! Thanks for a good laugh, remembering my 1st day of orchestra practice in elementary school! Poor John. I wonder what he thinks of this?!?! :)
omg, this is awesome on so many levels.

this is brutal :D
Best shred video ever.
Okay, now I understand. I had never heard of the Portsmouth Sinfonia until today !
i personally died when i watched this i was laughing sooo hard
I first heard this recording in the early 80's.
Reminds me of lab 1 at North Texas, man those were the days.
hahahaha this is one of the funniest shreds videos on youtube. absolute classic LOL
I'm thinking of the video actually, the one where they put it over the opening titles of 2001, rather than over John waving his arms. It really brings it into stark relief when you have the right visuals. :)
This sounds like the marching band I was in during middle school.
I cry laughing so hard every time I watch this. I Never learned those John Williams conducting techniques in my college music courses. Hahaha!!!
John Williams is not dead. He retired from writing movie scores and now spents time playing golf.
When I heard the trumpets, I plugged my ears! Still very funny. Although, I would not want to get stuck in a elevator with this playing.
"John Williams is not dead. He retired from writing movie scores and now spents time playing golf. "
He just fucking wrote one dude.
mr. williams is a global asset.
colonel sanders been eating his own chicken
this is fuckin hilarious, especially the high notes towards the end
I dig it! Clearly a more experiment phase of John's conducting
You sir are a genius !
Hahaha, this was awesome!! Fantastic editing... it actually looked like he was conducting this piece!
Omg, this is my 2nd fav shred. the first one is still "Creeds Shreds 3"
Please let me know about other awesome shreds
Arggggg. It's my old school band!
Funny as shit ! Just the title alone brought me here. Good job !
love the timps sound!
I just shat in my pants. I couldn't hold it.
The peak of western culture
Hats off to Steve Beresford. The original shredder.
Epic! Simply beautuful. "I just can't get enough..." XD
