Hi BP, an orchestra is a group of musicians, usually around 70 - 80 people. They are composed of strings (violins, violas, cellos and double basses), woodwinds (clarinets, oboes, saxophones etc) brass (trumpets, trombones, flutes) and percussion (timpani, xylophones, marimbas etc, but may also include drums). Symphonies are pieces of music which are usually at least 4 distinct parts or movements. A Symphony might include a choir or vocal soloist. You get different names for Orchestras, eg Symphony or Philharmonic (roughly the same thing). You also get a chamber orchestra which is much smaller. All orchestras are led by the Conductor who keeps the tempo and ensures all the musicians are playing in time and at the right place. The Composer is the person who wrote the symphony. Orchestras also play pieces which are not symphonies, in fact there is a symphony orchestra in NZ which plays a pretty great version of Darude’s Samdstorm!
Since BP was curious about what it's called when an orchestra is accompanied by vocalists (e.g. a choir), it's worth noting that a symphony that's composed for an orchestra and a choir, and possibly solo vocalists, is simply called a "choral symphony". The first choral symphony was Beethoven's 9th Symphony, completed in 1824. It incorporates a choir and soloists singing "Ode to Joy" in the final movement. It's set to a melody that's commonly called the "Hymn to Joy", which has been the Anthem of Europe since 1985.

Years ago, I bought this soundtrack because I thought it would be humorous, but appropriate, background music for a game night I was trying to plan for. That game night never happened, but I've never regretted buying this soundtrack, and I've listened to it far more times than I ever expected to.
Who, for example? It's a great score, and I love it and this performance. Such judgements are very much subjective. I'd rather vote for Hermann's score for Citizen Kane, Korngold's for Robin Hood, Rosza's for Ben-hur, or even Steiner's for the original King Kong, which really challenged what a score could do. Doesn't minimize my admiration for Morricone's work.
I would also vote for Conan score by Basil Poledouris. Especially cause like this score tells parts of the story filling gaps with leitmotifs it introduces and intertwines with scene music.
Poledouris' score reminds me of what the celebrated wit and pianist Oscar Levant said of Steiner's "King Kong" score when the film first came out. "It's a concert of Steiner's music with visual accompaniment". I feel the same about the score for "Conan".@@galadballcrusher8182
For example, the 106 people that upvoted this comment so far. I'm sure there are enough people that voted it number one to justify his use of the word "many." @@alanfoster6589
I think that's an English Horn (Cor Anglais). The oboe doesn't have the bend in the tube that holds the reeds. The English Horn does. A deeper, richer tone and lower range.
🇨🇦 The Danish National Symphony Orchestra is composed of over 70 Choir members and over 100 Musicians ! The man clapping the two pieces of wood together, is simulating the sound of the Whip used by the Wagon driver ! 🇨🇦
The wah, wah girl is Tuva Semmingsen (born 13 January 1975) is a Norwegian mezzo-soprano and coloratura singer. She has her own youtube channel. By the way, did you notice her earrings?
The 2nd half of the song is called "Ecstasy Of Gold" it was played when Tuko was running through the cemetary and Metallica uses the song before they hit the stage.
Yes, Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) was an Italian composer two times winner (2007 and 2016) of an Academy Awards. The director, Sergio Leone, was also Italian and called Morricone for the music of all his western films.
hello, Dane here... The Danish National Symphony Orchestra, does a LOT of famous scores, from movies, series, and games, they play live A LOT, just go through the vids on their channel and see... PS: the lady, a Sopran, having a solo, standing up top, @7:30, was her first solo performance, and she NAILED it!
The Lord of the Rings suite, also performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, is enough to make a grown man cry. Even if you haven't watched the films, the music is so epic everybody should experience it.
This music is what metallica come out to at every concert they do .. once this music starts you know they are ready to come out on stage .. crowd joins in every time .. its epic .
If you've never done it before...If you're lucky enough to live in a city that has its own symphony orchestra, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. Get yourself a ticket and get all dressed up and make an occasion of it. Hearing this, and other great music, performed by a full orchestra live in a concert hall is a life-changing experience. You won't regret it. EXTRA: check out the clip of the same orchestra performing the score from "The Godfather."
A must watch for sure, The Wah Wah lady is a Norwegian Mezzo Soprano vocalist named Tuva that performs regularly with the Danish Symphony Orchestra & Choir, She is a top rated singer,
Fully agree. I'm a metalhead who is very assertively blue collar and hates crowds. Want to see me dig out my suit, just wave tickets for a good orchestra under my nose.
The real genius is someone who can hear each instrument part and be able to put it all together seamlessly in their head before putting down on paper. That is crazy, to me. I played in an orchestra for several years. A dozen or more playing complexly different scores but as a whole it all comes together.
Ennio Morricone is a master composer. I used to listen to this soundtrack on repeat when I was a child. John Williams is another master composer who has composed many soundtracks (eg Star Wars). This kind of music is what made me a band kid. I had some amazing life experiences playing the French horn in a concert/marching band. I marched in some big parades (Calgary Stampede, Disneyworld) and played some memorable concerts and won a solo award at a music festival. This soundtrack never fails to give me goosebumps. You’ve got to check out some local symphony because hearing to live is a whole other experience.
My hats off to you, I tried to play the French horn in a marching band, I could play a little, or march a little, but not march and play at the same time!
You should go to the opera sometime. It will blow your socks off. It is one thing to listen to it in headphones, another to have the rumbling of an orchestra start syncopating with your bowels.
it's similar to seeing an oil masterpiece in a textbook versus seeing it in a gallery. but as rothko admitted music has the advantage of surrounding the person.
Ennio Morricone was no fool. He wrote some of the best music for films. Finally earned his Oscar for his final film, The Hateful Eight. He was also a childhood friend of director Sergio Leone.
Morricone was a true composer. A master trumpet player. He studied with great modern composers. Then, he decided to "make something for a film". He took inspiration from a lot of different things, put them together in a single score... many times, for a lot of movies. He was a genius of course but he allways remained himself. And that's a rare trait. It's the third movie in the "dollar trilogy". These films made Clint Eastwood Clint Eastwood, I think. P.S: a mezzo soprano has a deep, sweet voice for sure! I love it.
A few years ago, I went to a big orchestral concert where several hits from various films were played for almost four hours, including this one. It was a fantastic four hours that went by far too quickly and the orchestra got a standing ovation and people clapped their hands sore. About two years later, there was a concert with great music from various games. It was absolutely terrific. Music is simply the best!
Ennio Morricone died in 2020. Amazing composer. His score to The Mission is one of my faves. A composer writes a symphony. The orchestra is the performers. The person leading the orchestra is the conductor (not the composer). Sometimes composers will conduct, e.g. John Williams is a composer but he sometimes he conducts orchestras performing the Star Wars soundtrack. The instrument at the opening was a recorder, not a flute.
I laughed so hard with your questions. You are truly on a quest young man. Each instrument, are horse hooves, birds, the emotions of riding alone, I was raised on these albums and I still cry. Merricone was a genius. If I meet him in heaven I will bow to honor him.
This is why we should introduce orchestral pieces to a younger audience. I've listened to classical and instrumental pieces from very young. The experience of listening to all the instruments as the y combine to give such a unbelievable feeling it touches the soul
Symphony: an elaborate musical composition for full orchestra, typically in four movements, at least one of which is traditionally in sonata form. Orchestra: a group of instrumentalists, especially one combining string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections and playing classical music.
Il capo dei capi! Bravissimo Don Morricone!!!!! This epic melodia allows me to keep my Grandfather's face alive in my memory as he was a symbiotic copy of Lee Van Cleef.
it's an historic dedication to an amazing, historic composer... Ennio Morricone. The movie is historic, in it's own way.. as a film. The musical composition is historic on it's own...
The guitar riff that comes in on this score is so simple but amazing. It’s all amazing. This movie😮 is basically one big amazing music video….especially the last 20 minutes.
When I discovered this I kept playing it every day for quite a while. You start noticing certain decorations as an homage to the movie, the hanging guy, the Clint Eastwood silhouette, the gun earrings of the "wawa" girl, etc...and what music! So loyal to the original score!
It's a treat to watch a musician/singer perform a masterpiece (i.e. Billy Joel Piano Man), but when a large group of people come together to perform a perfect piece of art, it's special on another level. This is one of those rare occasions. Chills!
Listened to this shurely 200 times, or more... Everytime there are some more little nuances, you did'nt recognize before. Absolute masterpiece in copiing a gem of music made for eternity!!! Will watch it a few hundred times more. And, of course, thank's for your reaction to it. Appreciate....
The lady who sang "wah wah", her name is tuva semmingson, a classically trained singer in her own right, she sings everything from opera to standards to pop. A diva of the 1st class. If you look closely, for this concert she was wearing little six shooter earrings. PERFECT!!! I watched an interview with the two vocalists.Tuva Semmingsen AKA the Wa Wa Lady, as she has been called by the tube, actually likes being called the Wa Wa Lady. She couldn't believe how this performance took off on the tube. Christine Nonbo Andersen is the solo vocalist in the audience. This was her first performance with the Danish National Orchestra. Both ladies nailed their performances and added a stunning element to this Ennio Morricone masterpiece. Ennio Morricone was a composer of film soundtracks, where he used instruments and objects that are not normally used in an orchestral ensemble. Electric guitars, basses, ocarinas, bongos ... but also whips, gunshots, gusts of wind. Entering Morricone's work is a complete immersion. A moving tribute for fidelity down to the smallest details is what the Spaghetti Werstern Orchestra did to him.
Composer writes the music Conductor arranges the music - translates original score to meet their vision of the music - anything from tempo to what instruments are included (generating the music score) to harmonisation. They’re also the drill sargeant to get everyone to deliver the vision of the piece of music. They are also a visual metronome for all members of the orchestra to keep the correct beat along with guiding them in when they start / stop both the whole performance and also the individual components.
I saw Ennio Morricone, the composer, directing this and many other of his works in Berlin many years ago. Full Orchestra and 70-80 person choir. Amazing concert! Also cause my dad invited me and he is a massive spagetti western fan. 😁
Quite some innovative music occurred in the `60's. This 'unique' song, created in '66, was a year of some provocative & unique sounds, ie; Beach boys -Good Vibrations, Righteous Brother's tunes, The Troggs and others.
Did you notice the guy hanging above the orchestra? You haven't said so yet, but maybe you'll notice before it's over. I saw the movie a long time ago, but I enjoyed it very much! I'm sure you'd love it! Mr. Eastwood was still young and energetic and quite entertaining to watch!
THANK YOU! I can't explain how much the youth of today are missing out on real music with real instruments and sung/sound effects with real human voices. I played violin in grade school (my claim to fame) in orchestra along with Rod Steinhart. I'd sit next to him so I could hear cues and I guess feel the energy of what we were playing. I dropped violin going into junior high and went into singing (soprano) 7th grade through high school. We were surrounded by music on our lives. The best bands, musicians, rock music composers were out of music majors/schools. Sting (started with the band Mister Mister) was a music teacher. They all knew music and how to bend..okay...break the rules of music to create masterpieces.
Now imagine it live. The instruments resonating through you, the voices piercing your soul. Orchestras sound incredible on film, but they are truly beyond belief in person. The immenseness of it is overwhelming.
Film scores are the modern follow-up of classical music (you know like Verdi, Beethoven, Mozart, etc). There are even some film score writer who do concerts with symphony orchestras like Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore and others. One of the most underrated film scores in my opinion is from Conan the Barbarian - the first huge movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But there is just a ton of great film scores. Maybe you try some more 🙂 Most people dont notice how important the music score is for a movie. Which makes movies like "no country for old men" so special (cause no score - thank you Coen Brothers for your brilliancy)
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra have produced a video in which Tuva Semmingsen and Christine Nonbo Andersen talk about this recording and about themselves. Well worth the watch!
Finally you got to react to some music from My home country! You should check out danish rockband DAD - No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims. They have been touring for decades. in the mind of danes they are rock royalty on par with the greatest!
Bro! I agree 100%! I said the same thing when I first watched this! We all heard this theme song a bunch of times in our lifetime. But I was BLOWN AWAY when I watched this! I have seen this many times and I feel the same every time I watch it. BLOWN AWAY!
Is it go time for Clint Eastwood? This is what I relate this music with. Showdown time. Look up his westerns Like Good bad and Ugly ,Hangem'high, Fistful of dollars. High plains drifter to name a few. (1970'S) Also have a Modela while you look 😂😂
Absolutely amazing musical score!!! All the unique sounds layered and blended throughout the music is fantastic!!! Really enjoyed hearing this after so many years, thanks!!
why has it took you song, your diverse channel to get to this, best music score ever written for a movie, you should also, have a night and watch a masterpiece. on low budget
This Orchestra has performed so many incredibly good themes - be it from Movies, Games or just "general" classical music. You can't gro wrong with anything this Orchestra does. And Ennio Morricone was indeed Italian and composed the music of many movie scores - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly being just one of the most famous ones.
You nailed this. The human voice is absolutely the most diverse instrument of all. I had the same reaction you did when I enjoyed this the first time I saw it.
As part of this concert they performed "For a few dollars More" and "Once upon a time in the West". You really need to watch both of those as well. This orchestra has done so many great performances that you could choose from.

I couldn't have explained better myself!! Nice
@@LordCartanya thank you ☺️ I’m a big Orchestra nerd! Do you think my man is ready for Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture?
Also French Horns and the English horn (closely "related" to the oboe, but has a longer mouthpiece that is slightly curved)
@@patticrichton1135 and tubas! I didn’t want to go too far down the rabbit hole, but yeah. Brass section is fabulous
Ennio Morricone: the musical genius who gave Clint Eastwood and 'spaghetti Westerns' their soul.

@@PavlozKapeliz And let's not forget Tonino Delli Colli the cinematographer. This was their first movie together and it's a big step up from Sergio's previous :)
Sooooo True! This film was watched overseas, and overthere took on what the identity of the Southwest during that time was, and existed for some time.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, composed by Ennio Morricone in 1966, is still considered by many to be the greatest movie score ever written.

There's something special when a large group of people works together like this. Creating art together flawlessly.
All number one chairs their entire life of playing their instruments
Somethimes you just known, you are pasinger….
Love the oboe section towards the end of the piece. What an amazing sound!
The Oboe cuts through the strings and brass, the Danish National Orchestra seems to always have a Oboe section in the compositions they perform
I think that's an English Horn (Cor Anglais). The oboe doesn't have the bend in the tube that holds the reeds. The English Horn does. A deeper, richer tone and lower range.
The female soloist, Christine Nonbo-Anderson, this was her first performance with the orchestra. She nailed it.
We are so proud of this Orchestra. Hi from Denmark
Fantastic
This is the best version of the all time best movie theme music. It will not be topped.
As someone who performed in orchestras and in choirs, I very much enjoy seeing your reaction and kind words. So many don't appreciate it.

Forgive me for sounding dumb but if she was born in '75 how she be on the 1966 song or was that something else ❤
The movie came out in 1967, this performance was done in 2018. So she was 43 when this was done.
@@pamelaesparza1586 Yes, someone else did the 1966 performance
Guess she can travel in time😜
Thanks for the back story. Peace
If you this moved you, you should really see a symphonic orchestra live. It's LOUD and powerful. Will bring a man to tears.
You said you were watching history. Hate to say NOPE. You are watching PERFECTION.
The 2nd half of the performance is THE ECSTACY OF GOLD.
The 2nd half of the song is called "Ecstasy Of Gold" it was played when Tuko was running through the cemetary and Metallica uses the song before they hit the stage.
The title piece is easily the most iconic but “The Ecstasy of Gold” is my favourite piece from the film.
Every scene in the film is iconic, but Tuco running around Sad Hill cemetery is one of my faves.
Yes, Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) was an Italian composer two times winner (2007 and 2016) of an Academy Awards. The director, Sergio Leone, was also Italian and called Morricone for the music of all his western films.

Ooh I bet! I am going to look it up, and watch it next!
That voice! Deeper than Moria itself lol
This is an amazing performance! This is massively fun to play on the guitar!
Now, this IS music at its best. Every performer and musician at their absolute best.
Thank you Ennio Morricone for creating this wonderful music.
This music is what metallica come out to at every concert they do .. once this music starts you know they are ready to come out on stage .. crowd joins in every time .. its epic .
The Ecstasy of Gold by6 the great ENNIO MORRICONE !!!!!
I recognized it!!!!!👍👍
they own the rights to the song
I don't know how many times I've seen this performance, but if someone's reacting to it, I'm watching it again.
If you've never done it before...If you're lucky enough to live in a city that has its own symphony orchestra, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. Get yourself a ticket and get all dressed up and make an occasion of it. Hearing this, and other great music, performed by a full orchestra live in a concert hall is a life-changing experience. You won't regret it.

They are also a visual metronome for all members of the orchestra to keep the correct beat along with guiding them in when they start / stop both the whole performance and also the individual components.
I saw Ennio Morricone, the composer, directing this and many other of his works in Berlin many years ago. Full Orchestra and 70-80 person choir. Amazing concert! Also cause my dad invited me and he is a massive spagetti western fan. 😁
My guy i was looking for a person real enough to speak hes feelings . Dont hold it in. You said exactly what needed to be said
*This performance is a perfect example of why I could never stick to just one genre of music!*
Yes 👍🏽 ❤🙆🏻♀️
Every single time I watch and listen to this I have tears in my eyes. The power of music and voice to stir emotions is always amazing.
The Danish orchestra has so many great videos on their channel.
Love you are open to all music genre. This score is off the charts!!! Thanks.
I love that.
That was wonderful to hear you say, "How Beautiful Was This Sound" That was a reaction,
If governments could work together like symphony orchestras, the world would be a better place.
Masterclass ! Glad you saw it , and congratulations to the Danish national symphony orchestra
They do a few other Spaghetti Westerns as well like "For a Few Dollars More" by the same composer.
Quite some innovative music occurred in the `60's. This 'unique' song, created in '66, was a year of some provocative & unique sounds, ie; Beach boys -Good Vibrations, Righteous Brother's tunes, The Troggs and others.
Non esisteranno più colonne sonore così.
Grande maestro,morricone ❤
Era un genio della musica😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're killing me on this one, you're right though, it never ceases to amaze me how gifted some people are
Did you notice the guy hanging above the orchestra? You haven't said so yet, but maybe you'll notice before it's over.
I saw the movie a long time ago, but I enjoyed it very much! I'm sure you'd love it! Mr. Eastwood was still young and energetic and quite entertaining to watch!
THANK YOU! I can't explain how much the youth of today are missing out on real music with real instruments and sung/sound effects with real human voices. I played violin in grade school (my claim to fame) in orchestra along with Rod Steinhart. I'd sit next to him so I could hear cues and I guess feel the energy of what we were playing. I dropped violin going into junior high and went into singing (soprano) 7th grade through high school. We were surrounded by music on our lives. The best bands, musicians, rock music composers were out of music majors/schools. Sting (started with the band Mister Mister) was a music teacher. They all knew music and how to bend..okay...break the rules of music to create masterpieces.
The Danish symphony orchestra is world renowned
Now imagine it live. The instruments resonating through you, the voices piercing your soul. Orchestras sound incredible on film, but they are truly beyond belief in person. The immenseness of it is overwhelming.
Film scores are the modern follow-up of classical music (you know like Verdi, Beethoven, Mozart, etc).
There are even some film score writer who do concerts with symphony orchestras like Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore and others.
One of the most underrated film scores in my opinion is from Conan the Barbarian - the first huge movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But there is just a ton of great film scores.
Maybe you try some more 🙂
Most people dont notice how important the music score is for a movie. Which makes movies like "no country for old men" so special (cause no score - thank you Coen Brothers for your brilliancy)
I'm with you, man. I've watched this performance many times, and it remains one of my favorite videos on RUclips. They absolutely crushed it.
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra have produced a video in which Tuva Semmingsen and Christine Nonbo Andersen talk about this recording and about themselves. Well worth the watch!
BP THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PREFORANCE.I absolutely love a orchestra.
Finally you got to react to some music from My home country!
You should check out danish rockband DAD - No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims. They have been touring for decades. in the mind of danes they are rock royalty on par with the greatest!
Bro! I agree 100%! I said the same thing when I first watched this! We all heard this theme song a bunch of times in our lifetime. But I was BLOWN AWAY when I watched this! I have seen this many times and I feel the same every time I watch it. BLOWN AWAY!
Did you notice that the lady who sang the Wah Wah Wahs had pistol earrings?😀
You have and continue to broaden your horizons listening to all the different genres. And you're taking me along for the ride. Thank you!!❤
Once upon aTime in the west ❤Holy Moly Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda !!!Jo Jo Jo
Same director (Sergio Leone) and same soundtrack composer (Ennio Morricone) 🙂
I was at that concert .. everyone beyound their musical interest should hear a full orchestra play .. itssss amazing
Is it go time for Clint Eastwood? This is what I relate this music with. Showdown time. Look up his westerns Like Good bad and Ugly ,Hangem'high, Fistful of dollars. High plains drifter to name a few. (1970'S) Also have a Modela while you look 😂😂
Absolutely amazing musical score!!! All the unique sounds layered and blended throughout the music is fantastic!!! Really enjoyed hearing this after so many years, thanks!!
why has it took you song, your diverse channel to get to this, best music score ever written for a movie, you should also, have a night and watch a masterpiece. on low budget
The beautiful things that human beings can create when they work together. Magnificent. ❤
You young RAP people need to learn SOO much about music.
This Orchestra has performed so many incredibly good themes - be it from Movies, Games or just "general" classical music. You can't gro wrong with anything this Orchestra does.
And Ennio Morricone was indeed Italian and composed the music of many movie scores - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly being just one of the most famous ones.
Just think. We've gone from this to rap and hip hop.
One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life. A true testament to what man is capable of.
You nailed this. The human voice is absolutely the most diverse instrument of all. I had the same reaction you did when I enjoyed this the first time I saw it.
As part of this concert they performed "For a few dollars More" and "Once upon a time in the West". You really need to watch both of those as well. This orchestra has done so many great performances that you could choose from.
