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.
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
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.
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.”
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
> Man learns how to play several ancient instruments. > Audience: *a few giggles* >Funny TV man gets some shady notes. >Audience: *Wow!* *Applause* God....
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think the host is showing great interest and respect and asking decent questions. He has to hustle the man along because he knows they have to stick to a schedule. The audience laughing isn't them being mean, they're experiencing a new sound that they find amusing by modern standards. The people who may be offended by laughing at the novelty of these instruments are all long dead. If these instruments weren't showed on a casual show such as this we probably wouldn't know about them. It's informative and entertaining and has piqued interest in the general public. Carry on sirs!
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.
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.
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
Many comments here hating on the host and audience... Look, he tells a modern audience how lovely of a sound each instrument makes then, he proceeds to make unusual noises to modern ears. They wince, leading to giggles and, undoubtedly the host knows how they will react so, he doesn't allow the player to keep going too long out of respect for all parties involved.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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)
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
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#.
Wouldn't it be cool if we had these instead of church bells? Get a couple of priests up in the steeple blowing their lungs out to let people know it's Sunday.
"This is a lovely ancient instrument the likes of ..."
"Yes yes. Play. Stop. What's this? Play. Stop. What's that?"

It's not disrespect. They're laughing because they all shat themselves.
The host should let the man talk and play, instead of pushing his instruments around and being stressed. Those instruments are fascinating! :)

This is far more ancient than medieval sounds
What a gift of nature to have a harmonic series in a solid tube just through vibrating our lips at different speeds. Crazy.

People are annoyed at the audience, but living in America I'd say this audience was respectful, which says a lot about America.
Humans are so comfortable that they don't know whats the crushing fear of a hundred trumpets as you march to battle
Interesting how many are from Ulster. There must have been a lot of cultural activity up here quite early.
The first sounds like a lower volume of the atmospheric noises heard around the world these days
Fascinating , remarkable !
