I'm a musician ( Alto Saxophone) many people as you quite rightly stated have no idea how many instruments and voices are needed to create a masterpiece like this. It blows my mind when I see full orchestral arrangements. So glad you recognised what it takes to do this. Fondest regards from London to you both.
Ennio Morricone , great composer and orkestrator. His music is so wonderful. Always an important asset to the movies he wrote for. Once upon a time in the west is also a great movie, maybe even the best western ever made . Great cinematography and of course great Ennio music.
Let us remember Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer who wrote the wildly inventive theme of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' died at 91 on Jul 6, 2020
I was blessed to be able to travel to Copenhagen a couple of years ago to attend a reprise of this performance. What an awesome experience1 Tuva and Christine were on point. Christine is such a gifted Soprano. I left there with such a new found appreciation of Orchestra music.
One of the most epic movie scores ever written IMHO. You should try to get to a live orchestral performance at some point; NO speakers or HiFi system on the planet can truly replicate the sound and scale of a live orchestra. BTW, the 'waa waa' lady is a very accomplished and famous opera singer (Tuva Semmingsen), so this gig was a walk in the park for her.
This video is indeed extraordinary. Not just because of the great performances throughout, but because of the fantastic videography that gives you such an immediate sense of all the moving parts that have to work together to make the performance what it is. Thanks for your wonderful reaction!
My father was a musician who played violin, clarinet, saxophone and flute. He was in several "BIG BANDS" back in the mid to early '50s full time. Back then people that could play multiple instruments, were GOLD. However, when I started kindergarten in '52, he could no longer travel south for 3 months in the winter with the bands (he always took me and mom along) playing all the big ballrooms hotels had back then. So he got a steady day job, and also taught those instruments to kids, and played in various smaller bands, local symphonies and concert bands, for wedding receptions (before DJs were a thing), birthday, retirement, anniversary parties. He also played for wedding ceremonies on his own. He did all this mostly in the evenings, Saturday nights, and on Sundays when the stores were closed where his day job was. He played his music until he was 98 years old, which later in life was primarily the violin and clarinet. When arthritis affected his bowing arm and his eyesight was such that he could no longer read the sheet music in the symphonies and concert band (where he played clarinet) He had a HUGE LOG of songs and music he could play from memory, but had to stop altogether. He passed away in 2020 at 102 years old. He began playing the violin when he was 8 years old, the other instruments came a few years later. Thanks to him I love all sorts of music, I MISS hearing him practice at home. He LOVED it SO MUCH.
You need to watch the spaghetti western trio , the good ,the bad, and the ugly is my fav . Blondie , tuco. and angle eyes brilliant performance by three outstanding actors .
My two favourite reactors reacting to what I believe will be THE greatest performance of this Morricone classic to ever be performed. Absolutely classic - love it!!! 💖💖💖
Ennio Morricone was a brilliant composer. He wrote some of the most emotive music I have ever heard. To the extent that I have chosen one of his pieces for my own funeral. Not that I intend it to be played anytime soon. But when the time comes ...... He was, without doubt, the most underrated composer of his generation. In my opinion anyway. And some of the movies that he wrote the score for were largely made on the basis of his brilliant sounds. Or at the very least, massively enhanced. R.I.P. musical genius.
I love watching people react to to this. Even though many are aware of this theme song they are taken by surprise at the clever and unique approach that the Danish Nation Symphony Orchestra took to perform it. Loved your reaction. 🥰 Thanks
Thank you for another great reaction! I really appreciate the way you are able to talk about the way this music is performed. It takes a lot of talent to perform like this, and the complete orchestra is just amazing. If I only had the chance to be in the audience in such a concert..........
My dad used to work at DR's Concert Hall as an usher, when i was a kid. I have so many fond memories of my dad bringing me to work, getting to play in the hall ways, getting candy from the wardrobe ladies, going backstage, as well as being smuggled in to watch the final 10min. of several different symphonies. All the best from CPH Denmark ❤
You haven't seen probably the best movies ever! The rest of the world has... Believe me pick a quiet evening sit close together and be mesmerized... You will never forget the experience. Then a week later watch the second of the three then rest of spaghetti westerns.
I don't think it's until you get a bit older you realise how stunningly beautiful the sound of an orchestra is along with how incredible the composition is and the work that goes into the incredible final result.
You must watch the movie to truly appreciate this piece of music. You can hear the tension build, and you're watching the characters. Your heart is in your mouth, waiting, waiting, the mouth dries, then ...
One of the biggest differences between America and the rest of the world is that going to see an orchestra draws a crowd that is bigger than most popular modern music concerts in America. The Last Night of The Proms has over 3.2 million watching it as an example.
The Proms is special. Greatest concert of my life: July, 2011. 4th concert of that Proms season. Havergal Brian's Gothic symphony (nice recording of it on Hyperion). Just overwhelming. I'm American, by the way.
Maybe some Americans go to see an orchestra because they feel it is something that they should do, or something that will make them look good. I get the very strong impression that people who go to the Proms do so for the same reason that people go to the FA Cup Final. Because they really. really want to.
@@True_Heretic I get where you are coming from as most Americans have heard, Clair De Lune, without knowing it or the composer. And yet here they have to hold a lottery style selection for The Proms to select who gets tickets because millions apply for them every year.
Summertime: open air concert time. Verona, Munich, Berlin.... countless big and small classic concerts and festivals all over Europe... always fantastic, whether it's in a big city or in the countryside! The sound is often better in concert halls, but the atmosphere outdoors, on a warm summer evening: pure magic!
. Goosebumps everytime. never liked western movies but my father did. I still remeber him sitting on the sofa and watching so passionately these movies. But I like so far this music and Ennio Moricone is a great composer.
I lived with my aunties and I endured so many films but what I didn’t realise was every film and musical I had to endure was a great film score etched in my brain. Thank you and Respect.
Mike and Jess , you are nailing these reactions lately , 2 massive songs back to back ❤ i love your reactions. Ive seen this video plenty of times and always cry when it slows down , the piano and picalo (?) come in and then the beautiful soprano 😢
Spot on that it takes so many individual parts to make the finished article but imagine as the composer being able to hear all those parts in your head and then put them all together. It never ceases to amaze me. New subscriber btw. Love what you do on your channel.
This is so good, your smiles made it even better, I have seen it all over the net but yours was the best reaction, and I didn't see the earrings till you said, but its not a boot, her left one is a violin and right a gun, "but I must just say I now have a little boy crush on her" and thats hard as I am in my 60s" its the attitude and sassiness the kills me... keep the films comming, just love them x
Came across your channel because of my love for this rendition. In the realm of cinematic soundtracks, this is a masterpiece. Have watched it dozens of times and it never gets old You're also a very likeable and charming couple which adds to the enjoyment of the reaction. Thank you.
Danish person who also plays in an orchestra here, you really owe yourselves to watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Its pace is not what we're used to nowadays, especially the opening. There's no dialogue and really nothing happening for the longest time, but I think that works to let you get accustomed to the rhythm of the movie, and the cinematography is absolutely nuts. Not to mention the phenomenal score by Ennio Morricone, which you just heard some of. In their time, Westerns weren't exactly praised as high culture, but given the time it has been, I think movies like this one have proven that they are timeless classics and some of the finest art to come out of the American takeover of cinema (even though they were made in Italy).
This is the finest orchestra on the entire planet, and I have listened to many over the years. You are only one of very few to react to the hanging man out the many that have reacted to this masterpiece. As others have said, watch the movie and you will understand the music better. This was a truly great performance.
Why is it that every time I hear the second tune played (The Ecstasy of Gold) someone is chopping onions nearby, arguably one of the most beautiful pieces of music ❤
It's an awesome theme, I've seen it so many times and still blows me away every time! Went to Copenhagen back in August and went to see the DNSO live on their "Oscar" night - an amazing venue and an unbelievable sound. Unfortunately they didn't play "The Good the Bad..." but was still a night to remember. Looking to get back next year for another movie night!
🇨🇦 The DNSO consists of over 70 Choir members and over 100 Musicians ! Checkout their 2006 outdoor concert, with guest band Procol Harum , performing "Whiter Shade of Pale" ! 🇨🇦
I can not wait to see your reaction to the movie! If you are *this* into it from just the silhouette and the music I’m sure you will enjoy the film immensely.
Now that's a proper reaction worthy of this piece. Heads shaking and mouths open in amazement, Jess almost brought to tears by the beauty. Go back and listen to that Oboe solo again, it is so beautiful it almost defies description.
This video is from one of this orchestra's live performances. The music played here is actually two pieces from the movie, the first being is the Opening score, the second piece is called the ecstasy of gold sequence where Tuco finds the cemetery where the gold is hidden. What also makes this an iconic video is that the Orchestra is Danish, playing music composed by an Italian, and conducted by an Japanese-American. Truly an international flavor here as well. Oh and as usual I am tearing up listening to this, this performance seems to truly touch me deep in my soul and triggers an emotional response.
So glad you did a reaction to this wonderful piece of music, please please please watch the movie, it is iconic. It is so poignant to me as filming started on the day I was born.
You hit the nail on the head when you said you don’t realise how many different instruments and voices come together so perfectly to make that sound. Based on that I reckon you would be similarly amazed watching Tool - Pneuma, make sure you watch the Danny Carey drum cam version and enjoy 😄
This movie was the third in the "Spaghetti Western" trilogy, and one of the best westerns ever made. The significance of the hanging man in this performance will become clear to you when you see the movie. Ennio Morricone didn't have much of a budget for composing the score for the movie so he composed the score around the instruments that he could readily use that didn't cost much, and ended up creating a masterpiece. Love your reviews. Keep up the good work.
You owe it to yourself to watch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It is one of the most iconic westerns of all time. I consider it one of the best movies that Clint Eastwood performed in his long career. This piece certainly gives all of us familiar with the movie real "chills." thank you for this.
(During the same concert) they also performed the theme from "A Fistful Of Dollars" & the sequel "For A Few Dollars More" (oten credited as having the greatest movie end sequence of all-time). You might enjoy that one too. Great reaction btw, it sometimes brings a tear to my eye, it's that good. Thanks.
What an incredible...phenomenal job the conductor did...I think I'll go back and watch it...(her) again!😊 The DNSO gets my vote for greatest symphonic orchestra😉
It is always cool seeing humanity come together to make something bigger than it is possible with just our little hands. Just the same as it is cool to see just one master doing its work who seem to create beauty out of nothing.
What a great choice as well as sensitive and thoughtful reaction. I enjoyed it very much. Well, just like I've been enjoying every one of your reactions I've seen -- especially those on Angelina Jordan's renditions and originals. 'Looking forward to what'll come up from the two of you in the future. All the very best from Germany
I use to sing in a city choir that would perform many of the classical works with orchestra (similar to this), and it was just exhilarating to be one "cog" in the machine that made this amazing sound all around you -- you are just so focused on your part blending in and "connected" to the conductor!!! 😃
I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed the Danish national orchestra. I'm a dating so proud of them but to egg you on to something that I think you both really enjoy. Check out, great britait's ukulele orchestra playing the good. The bad and ugly you will really enjoy their show.
The DNSO has a video out there in which Tuva Semmingsen (the wah wah lady) and Christine Nonbo Andersen talk about themselves and this recording. Well worth the watch!
Great reaction peeps, now you must watch the movie. The second movement is used in the graveyard scene and is in my opinion one of the finest works ever to be used in a movie!
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra, do this from time to time where they make a Theme Night, they have made Agent Nights, Sci-fi, Fantasy etc. and this is of course from their Western Theme.
The silhouette of Clint Eastwood at the end is the icon of the movie as the hanging dummy is two icons of the film . You are not the only one to be surprise of the hanging dummy God bless you two .
It was a great reaction it was fun to watch your expressions, I grew up watching Weston's but never appreciated how many people were involved in creating the iconic music that made the movies so memorable thank you.
First: You have to check out the 'Man with no name' trilogy, 'A fist full of dollars', 'A few dollars more' and 'The good the bad & the ugly', (that this score is from). Even if you're not into westerns they are movies that everyone should see at some point in their life. Second: Take a dive down the rabbit hole of The Danish National Symphony Orchestra! They do amazing performances of scores from Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones and more. All amazing!!
The Soprano in the balcony, Christine Nonbo Andersen, did this small part of the song, and from this video, she became world famous in opera and classical music world. She has now sung in many other songs, singing the "angel from Heaven" parts. I got very emotional the first time I heard her singing this part. It was like an angel singing from Heaven. The other singer, known as the wa-wa lady now, Tuva Semmingsen, was already a singing star in the opera and classic world. Glad you posted this video. Now, you need to watch the movie.
I'm a musician ( Alto Saxophone) many people as you quite rightly stated have no idea how many instruments and voices are needed to create a masterpiece like this. It blows my mind when I see full orchestral arrangements. So glad you recognised what it takes to do this. Fondest regards from London to you both.
Totally agree. Oboe player here 😊
@@soozb15 I've always wanted to try the oboe. Does your embouchure matter ?
Symphonies rule.
@@bentley684 absolutely. it's the difference between beautiful tone and sounding like a duck ... But your reeds also make a huge difference.
@@soozb15 I did wonder about the reeds, I use a 2.5 or a 3 depending on what I'm playing do you change your reeds if you play different genres?
If you ever see the Good the Bad and the Ugly you will understand the music so much more . . . especially the ending !
Ennio Morricone, who wrote this, is a genius.
Ennio Morricone , great composer and orkestrator. His music is so wonderful. Always an important asset to the movies he wrote for. Once upon a time in the west is also a great movie, maybe even the best western ever made . Great cinematography and of course great Ennio music.
Elvis Elvis Elvis... 😊
You have to watch The Good the Bad and the Ugly... MUST

...And then "Once upom a time in the West". Also with the music of Ennio Morricone........
Absolutely!!!

It’s arguably the greatest movie of all time with the greatest theme tune of all time

The sound in this is wonderful! You can hear every instrument. The last time I checked, there are over 115,000,000 views of this, which is incredible.

The first time I heard this it brought tears to my eyes. I was moved with so much emotion.
You have to watch "The good the bad and the ugly", "A fist Full of dollars", "For a few dollars more", and "Hang em high". Great movies, all of them.
Try 'em!!!😊😊
Most of all you should watch "Once Upon A Time In The west" !!!.

This is a great way to show that the voice is itself, an instrument just as any in an orchestra. I think this is brilliant!
The 'Spaghetti' westerns are a must, they practically re-defined the western and made Clint Eastwood a global star.
And they became a reference for directors such as Quentin Tarantino.
How many people noticed the vocalist is wearing six gun ear rings?
Good catch!!
The definition of magnificence! As close to a feat of human perfection as one can get!

@@richardwest6358 ooop. That's the problem with generalisations.
The Leone westerns popularized the “anti-hero” and things in the movies weren’t “Black & White” but more shades of gray.

It is always cool seeing humanity come together to make something bigger than it is possible with just our little hands. Just the same as it is cool to see just one master doing its work who seem to create beauty out of nothing.

Well, just like I've been enjoying every one of your reactions I've seen -- especially those on Angelina Jordan's renditions and originals. 'Looking forward to what'll come up from the two of you in the future.
All the very best from Germany
Iconic piece of music 😊
I use to sing in a city choir that would perform many of the classical works with orchestra (similar to this), and it was just exhilarating to be one "cog" in the machine that made this amazing sound all around you -- you are just so focused on your part blending in and "connected" to the conductor!!! 😃
such an icon theme from an amazing movie. First time I saw this video my head blew up. MAN WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
Wonderfullllllll😍😍😍😍thank's Ennio!!!!!
Music made to move you, epic piece made by Morricone and mastered at an insane level by the musicians 😳🙂👏
Gives me shivers every time I watch and hear this and such a novel orchestration
You have to watch the movie to understand the hanging man....
This is so good, well done to the Danish orchestra
I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed the Danish national orchestra. I'm a dating so proud of them but to egg you on to something that I think you both really enjoy. Check out, great britait's ukulele orchestra playing the good. The bad and ugly you will really enjoy their show.
Powerful beautiful work of an art period. Never seen before in human life, a well organized orchestra..
The DNSO has a video out there in which Tuva Semmingsen (the wah wah lady) and Christine Nonbo Andersen talk about themselves and this recording. Well worth the watch!
Great reaction peeps, now you must watch the movie. The second movement is used in the graveyard scene and is in my opinion one of the finest works ever to be used in a movie!
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra, do this from time to time where they make a Theme Night, they have made Agent Nights, Sci-fi, Fantasy etc. and this is of course from their Western Theme.
When Ennio Morricone meets Sergio Leone, there is no equal! Top! ❤ Spaghetti Western.....🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
The silhouette of Clint Eastwood at the end is the icon of the movie as the hanging dummy is two icons of the film . You are not the only one to be surprise of the hanging dummy God bless you two .
It was a great reaction it was fun to watch your expressions, I grew up watching Weston's but never appreciated how many people were involved in creating the iconic music that made the movies so memorable thank you.
First: You have to check out the 'Man with no name' trilogy, 'A fist full of dollars', 'A few dollars more' and 'The good the bad & the ugly', (that this score is from). Even if you're not into westerns they are movies that everyone should see at some point in their life.
Second: Take a dive down the rabbit hole of The Danish National Symphony Orchestra! They do amazing performances of scores from Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones and more. All amazing!!
Watched this a good few times it’s just amazing
The Soprano in the balcony, Christine Nonbo Andersen, did this small part of the song, and from this video, she became world famous in opera and classical music world. She has now sung in many other songs, singing the "angel from Heaven" parts. I got very emotional the first time I heard her singing this part. It was like an angel singing from Heaven. The other singer, known as the wa-wa lady now, Tuva Semmingsen, was already a singing star in the opera and classic world. Glad you posted this video. Now, you need to watch the movie.
