Love this. Got it in my recommended after watching a 2013 performance with the original choreography (which I also love). P.S. My 9th grade social studies teacher told us that if we learned the bassoon it would guarantee us admission to the college of our choice. This was back in 1984; don't know if that advice is still valid. :-D
What an incredible fever dream of a performance. And considering it’s Stravinsky that’s they highest praise. You all did a splendid job of really capturing the essence of the piece. Amazing arrangements
I saw this 9 months ago and forgot about it. Seeing it now explains a lot from the past year: a recurring dream, where a compelling woman in a print dress leads me down a long road through the woods. I don't know why, but I have to stop her before something awful happens. She keeps drawing me onwards, and I keep stumbling, racing to keep up and slipping before THE INEVITABLE happens. She always keeps just ahead of me. I cannot stop her! She always breaks the reed! I always cry out and wake up in a cold sweat. This bothers me most, because I don't even play a reed instrument.
The Breaking Winds bassoon ensemble (with cameo soprano recorder appearance) plays and dances excerpts from The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky. This is seriously funny!
So many archetypes. The _gothic_ knob would need turned up only slightly for a very effective Halloween horror milieu. I think the _dramatis personae_ would need exert no extra effort for such a production, given their obvious native talents. In the meantime, my hope is only that fairy in the snakeplant with the recorder stays out of my -dreams- nightmares.
Was this written after the First World War? Traditional music theory and compositions were thrown away due to the horrors of the war. Add to the fact that the Spanish flu started killing off more people, humanity started losing its playful creative edge. German art after the war typically used only three colors: black, white, and red. And their subjects were garish and resembling nightmares caused by the war.

"Presentation of the Reed" at 2:45. Perfect!
The rite of spring is entirely occupied by the bassoons. Well, not entirely... One small recorder...
Great work!
1:38 one very small bassoon, must be the legendary bassoonino
“If that’s a bassoon, I’m a baboon!”
Stravinsky.... the way it was meant to be heard.
I'll never stop seeing hulking dinosaurs with this piece on.
The dancing really completes this.
Someone posted on my le sacre Nijinsky ballet video "thiiiiis isn't a french horn". This is it. Absolutely you killed.
I see you guys decided to pull out all the stops and go total Stravinsky with the dancing!
Visually, very comical & musically, very good. This is the 3rd video of yours I'm watching. Keep going.

Sacrifice the reed! All those dancing bassoons... It all makes sense in the end.

🤣🤣🤣😜
This is art
You know how in orchestration composers distribute the dissonances to different instruments to make them less harsh... well not anymore!
Moi, I wanted to hit the Je aime button, so I lit up a Gauloise, and by the time I went to le button, there was a riot.
hell yea. nice.
Genial!
It sounds better this way, imho
Ooooo. . .I want the sheet music for this one!
Hahaha!
Love it!
🤣
2:59 I did not know bassoons could djent.

a bassoon group probably has some very bocal supporters, amirite ?
😀😀😀👍✌👍
shouldve done glorification of the chosen reed
Very odd. This works as camp and serious. I can see it either way.
do y'all use THC? c'mon, you can tell me
