Ancient instruments played: • Late Late Show: Ancien...
Host and audience show very little respect
Yep. That's Pat Kenny. He's an annoying bollocks!
Serious subjects on pop TV rarely do well - lucky to have them at all.
@@domitype maybe it's even better to have them in the shadows and hard to get, rather than being mocked like this by the modern f***n arbiters of reality
Those who want more know where to look - as a short introduction, it is not horrible. The audience was not pre-chosen from a pool of ancient instrument wonks.
It's not disrespect. They're laughing because they all shat themselves.
Can you imagine 100 of those war trumpets, followed by an army of shouting men? That audience wouldn't be laughing.
Exactly what i said to myself. 👍
Bruh
and 5 huge, stronk war elephants following behind
Honestly its actually quite a terrifying sound alone.
@@ChristiRosie yeah. And celtic women were also fighting in the battle field so you'd be there with sword and shield darling.
"This is a lovely ancient instrument the likes of ..."
"Yes yes. Play. Stop. What's this? Play. Stop. What's that?"
Battle Cat that host is a bitch I want to rearrange his face with my fist
air time is short ... and this ain't the history channel - they had him on as a novelty
You nailed him to a T.
People giggling while he plays them is annoying as hell
The musician, Simon O'Dower didn't seem to mind, and got a big applause after the war horn. Giggling is something people do when they are nervous, not so much that the lady meant to disrespect the sound. She was imagining a battle charge, perhaps. I wish bronze and iron age instruments might be recorded playing in the chamber mounds like New Grange. I'm sure acoustics would be something the ancients were aware of, they made such interesting instruments. I'd buy the CD
Disrespectful audiences!!! No respect!!
It was very very load sound that is why they where laughing there ears where hurting
agreed
@@theheaterguyryan5052 ok
Vapid audience and host but the player seemed truly passionate about history, lovely to see.
Welcome to the Late Late Show...
The host should let the man talk and play, instead of pushing his instruments around and being stressed. Those instruments are fascinating! :)
The giggling is incredibly disrespectful, this is history, amazing discoveries that they care so little about.
I'm angered by the audiences reaction
That's how I feel watching people around me 99% of the time. Welcome to my hell.
Yeah I started to boil hearing their reaction to the war horn.
Same as haha was dying to record a sample of it. Trying to find other videos or recordings
@@TheLegendZordon so badass
@@seangeoghegan719 look up the Carnyx - John Kenny will show up, he knows what’s up
His circular breathing was on point. Fascinating sounds.
Chap is performing a truely glorious war trumpet and the audience is laughing. The old ways remember
True Olorin. But had he played a Carnyx.. they would have pissed thier pants :p
Here is a Carnyx replica being used ruclips.net/video/azo7mSt8o9M/видео.html
Both staggering beautiful, but also really absolutely terrifying to listen to. Truly one of the most incredible instruments ever, IMO.
its linked to guilt.
a sense of guilt associated with pride.
translates to mocking.
Chris That's an interesting remark Chris. You could be right. I don't think I quite understand you though. Would you mind saying more about that?
PollisDrake perhaps the audience doesn’t understand the cultural importance of these instruments. I notice that the first response of most Americans when presented with something purely terrifying and truly mesmerizing is to place it into the mode of perception that one would if they were witnessing satire. This would allow the stimulation to not take hold of their psyche and makes sure that the listener is in control of their own emotions. This callous behavior towards entertainment is hardly surprisingly American. Unless the audience isn’t American, in which case maybe they’re all drunk haha! Every sound I thought was marvelous and the war trumpet and the description of the shock wave leaves me studying Ancient British instruments of all kinds.
@Olorin Maybe they laughed because they recalled G.K. Chesterton's
“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”
Simons got some skills, it may not seem like hes doing much, but hes circular breathing!! That alone is incredibly hard. Look it up and give it a go .
The sound that war horn made gave me goosebumps.
I think its hardwired into the genetics of Europeans to be chilled to the bones by the sound these things make.
I'm not European and it gave goosebumps too
Imagine hundreds of them in a line echoing through the grasslands.
@@keshavrao212the thought alone made me shiver
@@ishzarkklyon9590 Glad that I could make someone exert emotions and movements through words.
If you don't have enough time on the programme schedule, you don't invite and force a rush through everything!!
And actually the war instrument WAS terrifying!
The content was really interesting. And the presenter was really polite which was rare in that studio!
> Man learns how to play several ancient instruments.
> Audience: *a few giggles*
>Funny TV man gets some shady notes.
>Audience: *Wow!* *Applause*
God....
4:24 gave me the most ferocious and sudden goosebumps followed by anger at the laughing. Well little do they realize...they wouldn't be laughing if they heard it in the days of old.
I am from Greece not from Ireland and I find these instruments very interesting like a small window back in time.There is nothing to laugh about.The audience must be a bunch of 10 year olds....the man is passionate and sharing all this Information and they show a total Lack of respect
That war trumpet was the last thing many men heard before their life ended and people are so naive to the horrors it must have struck in them.
On a side note, if you liked this, another instrument that not only sounds awesome but looks the part is the Carnyx.
That war sound trumpet....thing,
sound fucking awesome!!
sounds like something from the battle scenes of LotR. lol
haha exactly what I was thinking!
ruclips.net/video/-DIIaCUJ1yQ/видео.html
Check this one out. A carnyx. I'd imagine they'd use different
calls/sounds to direct the warriors marching as well as an intimidation tactic.
thinking of hundreds of those trumpets blaring at once while thousands of men march slowly forward through the fog.
You hear this sound, followed by hundreds of shrill war-cries and the thundering of chariots.
And thinking of your idiotic username and profile picture... get your head out of idolatry. There is no wisdom in it - just falsehood. YHWH is the only God. Everything else is man-made. The wisdom of the ancient Egyptians is child’s play compared to the wisdom of the Sages in Judaism. Don’t believe me? Look for yourself.
@@sunavila Everybody knows that Salamander is the one and only true god. Praise Salamander and his son Tadpole who gave us life and promiscuity!
@@sunavila really? Religion? Here?
Hi snadhghus, I have just found the videos you uploaded of our appearances on the Late Late Show. Thank you for doing that and for including the reference to our work. The quality of both videos is great! Your Chanel is very interesting.
Thanks very much.
I'm glad to help spread awareness of your fascinating work.
Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who actually opened this video in 40 tabs and played that one war trumpet bit all at once.
kashu Holy crap that’s an awesome idea I have to do that now
Honestly, hundreds of those war horns with thousands of men charging. Just the vibrations it emanates could unnerve a man.
This sort of stuff really fascinates me!
Beautiful! I'm thrilled that this got to be seen in a TV show!
When at 0:53 the host interrupts the player before he ends the note he's playing, you know that what's coming next is a show of disrespect for such an interesting matter. Great chance to hear those forgotten sounds, anyway. Thanks to the uploader and greetings from Chile.
Yo those overtones on that war horn
Somewhere a medieval minstrel is rolling in his grave.
This is far more ancient than medieval sounds
Thanks for the upload..these videos are valuable historical gems
The resonance of that war horn was haunting
At 4:34 the war trumpet starts to sound like the beginning of a song from the early 90s and I'm going insane trying to place it...
EDIT: I finally remembered it! The melody played on the war trumpet sounds just like the beginning of "Cannonball" by The Breeders.
These are incredibly difficult instruments to play except for the early pan flute as they are all natural wind instruments, the notes they make are just dependent on the length of the tube and the harmonics which can form in it, which harmonic sounds is dependent on the lip tension of the player, he has to find the right tension to be within the frequency of one of the harmonics.
Not sure however how this works with a reed instrument, because the reed itself has a set frequency where it does vibrate with.
On more modern instruments a variable resonator (tube) length determines the pitch, the variation in length is done with holes or valves operated with the fingers like modern trumpets, flutes, oboe, bagpipes or saxophone, or with ranks of resonators like an organ or accordeon where each resonator plays one pitch.
Hi! You are misinformed about how modern brass instruments work. They actually share exactly the same challenges playing the harmonic series as the old ones. Modern instruments, however, can play many more notes. Lengthening the tube can logically only lower the pitch, and lowering it to the maximum is only done in the low register to bridge between harmonics which are far apart.
man the roaring of that warhorn sounds like the roar of great bulls or something
What a gift of nature to have a harmonic series in a solid tube just through vibrating our lips at different speeds. Crazy.
4:30 These fools wouldn’t be laughing on the battlefield with 100 of those playing as death marched towards them
I enjoy watching how we came about musical instruments, thank you!
The amount of breath strength to use the those larger instruments must have been incredible.
Host interrupts too much for my liking 🤬
Yep, he's a wanker, just for his own show drumming up laughs for ratings!!
Thanks for sharing the video.
note to self... I need that war horn and the skills to play it. Damn!
You get fifty horns like that trying different combinations of notes and get a frequency that can levitate stuff and shatter cancer cells. The old old world's approach to living in this realm was beyond anything our world now can even dream up. We are witnessing and being pulled&pushed by the wrong stuff.
"Life is deep and simple, what our society gives us is complex and shallow." Mr. Rogers.
proud to be Irish!
That was amazing!!!!!
Jesus, can you imagine if anything a fraction this educational was on late TV these days?
to be fair... if the ancient players of these instruments heard this they would laugh too because im sure they knew how to play them 100x times better from many years/generations of practice
Fascinating , remarkable !
Those are amazing!
Create 13 new tabs then start the first video from 3:52 to 2-second interval (3:54) and keep going like that until 13 tabs. and then start clicking from the first tab until the 13th tab. you will have 13 sounds together.
i got up to 4 and it already gives the sound more body, like a giant being instead of individual horns. Factor in the natural acoustics of the forests/fields and the sound would take on even more size. Fascinating.
Now try with 100 tabs
Confirmed:
jazz has been culturally appropriated from the ancient Irish.
If the ancient people went into a walmart bathroom they would be intimidated by the "war sounds"
Interesting how many are from Ulster. There must have been a lot of cultural activity up here quite early.
The presenter: Why did they invite this nerd I used to bully in school?
Fantastic
This is insaaaane!! ❤❤❤
Magnificent
People are annoyed at the audience, but living in America I'd say this audience was respectful, which says a lot about America.
The first sounds like a lower volume of the atmospheric noises heard around the world these days
Amazing
Beautiful*Beautiful*Beautiful
the audience laughing while these art pieces of the ancient world were being played is a little disrespectful to our ancestors, don't you think? How would you like it if
someone 2000 years in the future plays a recreation of a saxophone and everyone laughs? The story behind these instruments and the passion they carry is far richer than what
we have today.
He need to play Binary Sunset from Star Wars on that huge horn.
Coolness!
I see you are a person of wisdom.
The Loughnashade trumpet is cool! It took me a while to find out the actual spelling!
Wow.
Shitty TV can kill any interesting idea...
If you want more info on the guest Simon O'Dwyer and the instruments, here is his website: www.ancientmusicireland.com
The war instrument sounds like a growling beast
I thought it was just me that thought that the audience was disrespectful until i read the other comments that thought the same. No respect for our history
These people laugh but with that war trumpet and hundreds sounding off with berserkers high and thirsting for blood would be a different and somewhat awesome reaction
Shut up and let him play thousand year old instruments please. I feel this guy would have a bigger, more open and more respectful audience on RUclips than on old media's TV programs.
See ancient Irish horns played here: ruclips.net/video/pzl7INHCuEI/видео.html
Very nice! Could you please add the year this segment aired to the video description above?
It was about 2003/4. I'm not certain.
We used snail shelf as musical instruments during ancient
That 'war horn' is still used today in Indian temple festivals.
It is called sringa, also known as tutari, ranasringa, blowhorn, sig, singa, kurudutu or kombu, is an ancient Indian musical instrument. (ref: Wikipedia)
Well, horns all over the world do look very similar
That big unicorn horn looking thing seems like a decent wooden saxophone
This guy deserves a show of his own, nothing like this joke
they kind of sound like saxophones. at least the first one. some band kids i was in school with partially dismantled a sax to make some of these noises. its interesting.
There are keyless saxophones that sound similar to this
Musicology is life!🤟
Humans are so comfortable that they don't know whats the crushing fear of a hundred trumpets as you march to battle
Pat: “Ok Simon, let’s...”
Simon: “Sit down and shut up, Pat.”
Pat: 😐
Simon: 😐
this video is awesome, but i'm distracted by this guy's voice (not the host). he sounds exactly like Richard harris! is it just the accent, idk.
Anymore videos on the 1st video?
Those war trumpets are terrifying for real
Pretty interesting subject, I don't know why host and audience are taking it as comedy...
Ignorance
I would love to know which specific scale the Wicklow pipes are, we were only able to hear a few. If any body knows, please share. I could guess based on Northern and Western European folk music it may be, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7b 8, perhaps 4#.
It just shows those panpipes are universal in peru, in acient greece,in lreland some ideas are universal
1.9k people who liked this video have not seen Ancient Music Ireland's work for the EB mod. Namely, "Along The Shore" ....
Terrific circular breathing
Dude , that guy is AWESOME! Its to bad the host rushes it.
Why the hell they started laughing
that circular breathing tho
5:06 Mayonnaise is an instrument confirmed!
the ancient spirits are laughing at the last instrument. lol.
Are talk-show hosts and studio audiences in Europe just generally way more respectful than American audiences? Or is it just that this is just from an older time before the douchebagification of society?
well the audience was laughing the whole time while these beautiful instruments were being demonstrated, didn't feel all that respectful to me.
Just thought the host has no respect, as he interrupted his guest and his passion again and again… If he is respectful, I wonder how it is in the US. When the guest is playing, the audience is laughing. When the host is playing awfully, they are clapping
Great term you coined
If any modern American saw this today, we would be angry at the host. What I believed happened is they had pre planned cards that they held up that said “laugh” every time he played the instrument.
American audiences think that 50 years ago is old, ancient, no relevance to their modern times. Their total lack of culture is appalling. Americans only think of what is "relevant" to these poor modern times.
Será que eles já ouviram o berrante brasileiro? Isso tudo aí é uma variação dele...
The war trumpet sounds very much like a carnyx.
“New Orleens”
just so you know, I'm reading all your comments with the same accent as the video.
I think 100 of those war trumpets would still be intimidating.
Did they find any carnyx in Ireland?
