- "Olé Concerto" for Piano & Brass Quintet. Hear the composer Peter Schickele at the piano with the Canadian Brass. Recorded live on stage in the 70's, this was an historical meeting of these two master performers.
RIP Peter Schickele
My wonderful Uncle Peter turned me on to Professor Schickele many years ago. I am great full to both for their playfulness and making me laugh. I’m disappointed they are died and that my father didn’t get me bagpipes when I was five.
Ol' Pete - a great musician, a great composer, and a great comedian.
Wonderful. A real life Schickele piece.I thought, that's damn good for a pdq piece, but of course it was Schickele himself. Yay!
2:19 sounds like the start of a Budweiser commercial. Fun music. Good to listen to during a pandemic to brighten spirits.
Amazing. Schickele, of course, was a major musical talent and studied at Julliard (with a friend, Philip Glass).
And spelled it right!
@@DonaldSosinJoannaSeaton Actually, it's Juilliard. Two i's....
@@gabrielheiser I meant Schickele. I left Juilliard alone, as they left me alone. Schickele is wonderful. Performed with him once and sang madrigals and rounds every year for many years.
Was? I thought he was still alive.
He passed away on 1/16/2024.
True music genius! Just above and beyond any composer in recent history
Multiple Grammy winner in the Comedy category, Peter Schickele “discovered” and then became PDQ Bach. Like Mnozel Brass today, you have to have the goods as a consummate musician and then you can try comedy. Schickele also wrote the soundtrack for Silent Running and can be seen performing with Itzhak Perlman elsewhere on RUclips. He is listed first as one of the composers of the show Oh! Calcutta!
"Working around PDQ Bach's music as long as I have, there's one trait that has rubbed off on me more than any other, and that is, uh... plagiarism." --Peter Schickele. 😀
The music for Silent Running is among my favorite compositions.
@@davidsandy5917 I just looked on YT and listened to some of it again - very nice music. Remember, Silent Running came out in 1972 and Star Wars was not to screen for another 5 years.
Ah, the genius of Peter Schickele. My favourite composer ever.
Rumor has it that sometime in the mid-60s, the Canadian Brass and the Tijuana Brass teamed up to play Mariachi music during the half-time shows at Montreal Canadiens hockey games.
Brass and piano meld very well in this composition!
totally freaking brilliant. :-)
pure delight.
Fantastic, having some fun with Canadian Brass
How delightful!!! Whimsical and enchanting! I love this!
Bravo! Thank you! 🙌🏽
Very amazing
Only an expert grammarian can use improper grammar successfully. Likewise, only an expert composer could combine brass and piano as successfully as done here. Bravo
Should this not have been called "BACH-WARD WARSAW CONCERTO IN BLUE"?
Starts out sounding like Rachmaninoff, then shortly thereafter like Scott Joplin, and then transitioning to more modern styles.
And the piano fits with the brass quite well here.
wonderful!!
Brilliant!
Good Stuff for us lovers of both Schickele and the Brass... but what happened to Part 7?
I don't think there ain't none... But then, this answer is not good English grammar either...
It is July 5th, 2018. A music store clerk once said that Peter Schickele was a serious composer. This is obviously NOT one these "serious compositions.";) Is that the "Warsaw, Indiana Concerto"? Do I detect traces of the Root Beer Rag"?
As a composer, Schickele was very serious about the music, but the music he wrote never took itself seriously.
To borrow a phrase from Colin Fletcher, he's serious but not somber.
💜💜
Just curious because having an ensemble concert coming up and was wondering how to get the music they played.
Great series, but what happened to Part 7 of 7?
It kind of works actually. Bombastic piano with the brass.
They never used the hat mutes.
Yes, they played into them while they were mounted on the stands in the slow movement. You’ll notice the sound is more mellow at that spot.
Fantastic! Where could I get the score?
if you're still (not) looking, canadianbrassstore dot com has it in stock for $15.
OK, what just happened...?
fantastic. was this ever released on an album?
doesn't look like this original performance was, but schickele dot com apparently sells a recording of it by P.S. and the Chestnut Brass Company.
This concerto is kinda like Pinocchio...it is almost real piece of music, to be taken seriously. At least, I know they enjoyed playing it....and now Peter is gone.
Is that Jack Black's father?
MrBiggums324 Peter Schickele tweeted your comment. Just in case you weren’t aware.
Headcanon accepted. :-)
Why is that trombonist using his finger to find third position? If his arm's "memory" can't find it automatically, he shouldn't even be in this group.
You realize that the trombonist is Gene Watts and he was in this group for 40 years and recorded over 60 albums with them? And before that he was the principal trombonist with the Toronto Symphony? I think he knows what he's doing and he should do it in whatever manner works for him.
@@will1410 - So, he has been using a grade school technique all these years. I know long-time musicians that still count beats and measures with their mouths and fingers, too, as well as pound the sole of their foot on the floor thinking it helps them keep time. It doesn't. Heck, I've seen "musicians" count measures in a twelve-bar-blues.
Pff. You must be a college student.
No one in the real world cares if you touch the bell for third. All that matters is how well you play, and this dude is a legend.
Just wait til Lyle discovers Glen Gould.
