ROSSINI William Tell overture | Nicolas BALDEYROU and friends !

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Dear friends, I hope you’re well and all spent a very nice summer despite of the strange conditions ! It has been a long I didn’t post anything but I wanted to record a longer piece as usual, and I have to say that took quite a lot of time 😅😊 Then I decided to arrange the whole Rossini Guillaume Tell overture in my personal wind band version ❤️✨
This real symphonic poem ahead of its time starts with an incredible cello quintet describing a sunrise over the Swiss Alps, supported by basses and some timpani rolls announcing the storm coming. And I felt that this introduction would particularly fit for a bass clarinet ensemble and a contrabass.
The second movement of William Tell’s overture, the storm, is a highly dramatic moment depicting the episode in the 4th act when William is weathering a storm on a ship on his way to jail, taking the rudder and running aground on the beach.
The third movement is the famous « Ranz des vaches » that Rossini chose to be played by the English horn and the flute.
A Ranz des Vaches or Kuhreihen is a simple melody traditionally played on the horn by the Swiss Alpine herdsmen as they drove their cattle to or from the pasture. The Kuhreihen was linked to the Swiss nostalgia and Homesickness (also known as mal du Suisse "Swiss illness" or Schweizerheimweh "Swiss homesickness").
In my personal version, we’ll have lovely sheeps instead of cows, hope you won’t mind 🙏😊
Suddenly, the peaceful pastoral scene is interrupted by a fast-paced, high-intensity galop, which was a popular style of ballroom dance at the time. Titled “The March of the Swiss Soldiers”, it points toward the majestic final scenes of the opera, where the Swiss Armed Forces free their homeland from Austrian rule.
I would like to thank again and again all my friends who joined me for this video :
Anne-Sophie Neves piccolo
Magali Mosnier flute
Hélène Devilleneuve Oboe
Julien Hardy French bassoon
David Guerrier Trumpet
Antoine Ganaye Trombone
Stay safe, have a very nice Sunday and see you in two weeks for a brand new video ! ❤️
I love that extensive use of bass clarinet chorale!!!
Happy you line it ! Thank you Dmytro !
It was lovely!
I too felt that the Bass Clarinet choice was especially inspired. And I'm not just saying that because I started playing it when I was in my early teens... and now I'm a trillion years ago... just beautiful and very much aligned with the spirit of the music and the mountains.
In Rossini's arrangement of the tune it is split into 5 cello parts.
Son: Dad, Why is my sister called Rose?
Dad: Because Mom likes Roses.
Son: Ah! Thanks Dada.
Dad: Of Nothing Video of Nicolas Baldeyrou.
😂😂😂 thank you Pietro !
Could’ve been because your mom likes rose etudes
SeltzerWater 101 😂😂😂👍🏻
of nothing = de nada? lol
of nothing could also be de rien
Not only is he a clarinetist, he's also a french horn player, a triangle player, a timpani player, a cymbal player and an editing expert.
That's what I call a legend.
Thank you so much Alvis !
Also, was he the one operating the sheep puppets? Or they're a costume and he had to wear that. Either way, one of the underappreciated classical legends of the internet. If he and twoset could collaborate he wouldn't have to play the string parts anymore!
He can also shoot a crossbow.
He's also an excellent dancer - check this out - ruclips.net/video/QxnvhGKsc_E/видео.html
… and witty with it!
I feel like I should have bought a ticket for this! Thank you for creating such great content
Thank you so much ! Happy that you like it :-)))
He has the power of LingLing by wearing those shirts.
I wish I had 😂
00:00 I. Andante: Prelude
02:31 II. Allegro: La tempesta
04:55 III. Andante: Ranz des Vaches
07:08 IV. Allegro vivace: Finale.
All celli should be jealous of how magnificent the introduction sounds on bass clarinet. :-) I continue to enjoy visiting your recordings with and without friends. Thanks for making them. They help me keep going at work and inspire me to keep practicing.
Dude is wearing Twoset merch!
Yep, love it !
So yeah, I've binged almost every video you've released. Your talent is beyond remarkable, your musicianship is enviable, and your entire presentation with costuming, backgrounds, and narrative are masterfully entertaining. What gets me though, is how you've made remote playing with your colleagues sound absolutely spectacular. The audio mixing is second to none. I often listen to your arrangements without any visual aid and am left wanting nothing in sound quality. Brilliant, dynamite job, keep it up! It's TwoSets loss they don't feature you more; you're pretty much the Paganini wind player, and video presenter to boot, that they were once looking for.
Thank you so much for your kind words ! I really appreciate ! I try to get better in sound recording and video editing each time but I still have a long way to go 😅 don’t worry, I don’t expect anything from twoset, I just like very much their channel and love this merch !
I don't think TwoSet have ever featured Nicolas, I've tried to reach out via numerous methods but have never got a response, it's such a shame.
Hi Nicolas - fantastic, fun and fabulous ! this video could be entitled - "how to get 3 young boys from the ages of 7 - 14 to listen to a piece of classical music from begining to end". I know because my 3 boys loved it. Such an inspiration !
This is inspired, inspiring, insanely awesome, and hilarious!!! I love the sheep and that your buddies dressed the part. Thank you! You, with your musicianship, your theatrics, your instrumentalist friends hopping on full throttle ahead, and your video editor buddy’s exact crispness have made my rainy day bright.❤
Congratulations on this gigantic project! You and your colleagues are so amazing! You playing is stunning, amazing articulation. Bravo 👏👏🎶🎼🐑🐑🐑🐑
Cathy A Ogram thank you so much dear Cathy for your kindness !
A few days ago I wondered: „When does Nicolas Baldeyrou release a new video? It has been a while since his last one.“
And ‚Bam!‘
The sound of the wind ensemble is balanced. The scenes tell a story. What more? 😊
Thank you lot! We appreciate your work and effort!
Rhythm & Harmony thank you so much ! That took quite a lot of time 😅
Really cool as usual, but jeez i can't believe you bought that many costumes just for the backscenes ^^
malfante gautier thank you ! Didn’t buy them, just rented for a cheap price ;-))
Making your colleagues wear them must have been expensive though... ;-) Incredible display of talent and humor.
Nelson ThePrimate 😂😂😂 they loved it !
6:39 I've never seen such expressiveness from the triangle player
😂😂😂 triangle is all my life 😁
PLEASE play and record as much as humanly possible while you are in this world!!!
Your gift to posterity!!
This is brilliant!!! It goes without question that the playing is top notch, but the costumes and theatrics make the video. And the sheep!!!! Yes! Lol
The music is fantastic but the William Tell cameos in the background really complete the video. 💛
Vous êtes tous fantastiques ! Bravo Nicolas pour le montage et l'humour ! Hélène et Magali, vous êtes trop mignonnes en tyroliennes :-)
The altissimo range on your bass clarinet sounds impossibly good. I’ve never been so jealous in my life. Well done!
Hahaha, thank you Connor ! Just need a good mouthpiece 😄
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Can you tell us what mouthpiece you use?
0:00-10:38 is the bit we all came for
P.S With your clever editing, great arranging, and all that talented playing, that storm has never before felt so real!!
Nicolas, youre just a fantastic musician and a funny guy. Heard youve been in Bremen at the clarinet days. Maybe I can make it next year. 😇🤗
Nicolas，you are my hero !😭😭😭
Piccolo and flute players are amazing! Very precise, to be able to play super-fast passages in perfect timing together... wow!!
Here we are, me and my children, enjoying this fantastic concert!!! They've been waiting (and asking almost everyday) for this, especially my little clarinetist. Merci beaucoup!
That’s such a pleasure to hear that, thank you so much !
you were fortunate to find lovely Swiss milkmaids who could also play lovely oboe, cor anglais and flute and piccolo. Bravo/brava to all, this is truly virtuosic and very inspiring.
😂 it was a long quest to find them ! Thank you so much for your kind words !
Please tell me how you get such tight music without using earpieces?
Excellents costumes ! 😃
Et bien sûr, fabuleuses performances !
Bravi tutti ! 👌
Very nice work on this! I'm very impressed with the intonation, even in some tricky keys... and the timing, especially when collaborating with other people. And you even managed to somewhat emulate the acoustic stage presence, very good mixing and editing, that's a lot of work, mate. =D
I hope you get the opportunity to demonstrate that unique Buffet contrabass on its own for us. It's always nice to see those older models in action, what they are and are not capable of, like an archive of sorts.
Thank you so much for your kind words ! Unfortunately I had to give this contra back, the high register was not functioning, maybe because it stayed for years unused in the museum...
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 um... Weird idea... Bottesini Double bass concerto no.2 3rd movement on the Buffet Contrabass?
Absolutely stunning!
Love the opening with all those bass clarinets🤩🤩🤩
Just One question:
Which kind of contrabass clarinet is that? It sound so good, and it seems so antique for an instrument like that, it is beautiful🤩
Greetings from Italy! 🇨🇵🇮🇹🙏🙏
C - Slow thank you so much ! It’s an old buffet contrabass prototype I could borrow for a while. Very spectacular instrument indeed !
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Yep, just love it! Thank you for the reply and congratulations again for the amazing video!
never knew movement 3 was from this overture. consider me learned. phenomenal job to all featured
Thank you so much !
Aside from the astonishing level of sheer musical marvellousness, that leaves this amateur horn player agog its M Baldeyrou’s lovely po faced focussed triangle player that takes the plaudits for me.
🙏🏼😊🔥🔥🔥
Unbelivable pleasure to hear your videos. Everything is just so perfect... 😮
Prochaine étape : Shaun au triangle !
J'adooooorrrre ce décalage et ce kitch.
Des artistes formidables qui jouent à tous les sens du mot.
Bravo.... Again and again !!!
On s’est bien amusé c’est vrai ! Merci beaucoup Anne !
I love how you ‘balance out’ the Bass Clarinets with the Contrabass, very nice indeed!
At least I think it’s a contrabass..
It is ! bravo ! A unique model, an old buffet prototype. Thank you 🙏😊✨
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 I would LOVE to see more of your amazing Contrabass, it's sad that it is hard to hear in this pieces though. Well, I guess that's the point of a Contrabass anyway 😁
A few things to comment on. First, not only are the musical transcriptions and transpositions of this well known overture spot on, the whole ensemble playing is so captivating and mesmerizing that in many respects it outdoes the original Rossini composition. This is probably because the reduced instrumentation allows for increased clarity of much of the faster passages.
I too am a musician (piano and bassoon) as well as an audio and video engineer...I know how difficult it would be to put together a project such as this, especially coordinating participation from your "cloned" musicians. Bravo! to one and all!
I also must say that what I found particularly entertaining was the inserted, pleasantly humorous but not over the top animation...especially the Mo Town Sheep swaying to the music in the 3rd movement with flute and Cor Anglais. The costumes and background scenery are also nicely done.
Once again, congratulations! to one and all. I will look forward to more productions from you folks.
Incredible on absolutely every level - stunning orchestration, beautiful performance, perfect mixing and excellent video editing. I really enjoyed this!!
Thank you so much Heinrich !!!
Brilliant! Bravo! Standing ovation! Show stopper! When I was in music school, I would have loved to attend recital where Mo-Town-Sheep dance in the background. Bass clarinet is delegated to background in wind music so much it is amazing to hear a bass clarinet choir!
Thank you so much ! I love this dark low ensemble too, not enough bass ensembles in our repertoire 😭
The overture is perfect with winds and percussion. Then we have plenty of Easter eggs: the lederhosen, the muppets, the need practice shirt with the contra, the Roland Garros shirt to remember us of France, William Tell at the triangle, Tirol scenery, the arrow and the apple - no teddy bears were injured... It's an awesome video!
I think the sheep in the background are my spirit animals......
Good choice 😊😁👍🏻
Not just an arrangement! You have revealed new things we were not aware of in this masterpiece! Bravo!!
Thank you so much Walter 😊🙏✨
Damn!!!! This must have been such hard work to put this together. Bravo guys!!! Bravo!!!
Oh yes that was hard work , you’re right 😅 thank you so much !!
Mir gefällt das Video richtig gut 😊
Bro I cannot understand how you are such an phenomenal clarinetist and an amazing horn player. I don’t know any horn players who are also incredible at another instrument. I spend all my time practicing horn and can’t imagine putting the same amount of time into another instrument
Edit: and an amazing percussionist and video / sound editor goddamn
Thank you so much David but honestly I’m just a very average horn player, it’s really for fun and by passion because I always loved the sound, and started practicing when I was 20 !
I saw you on instagram and I had to check this out on youtube
Thank you very much ! 🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Wow! Posting to FB for all music lovers, including U.S. Army Band members everywhere. Love it!
Thank you for sharing John ! 🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Totally mesmerizing ! Fabulous playing and arranging, and totally over the top with the costumes and the adorable sheep
Thank you so much Judy, I truly appreciate !
Dear Nicolas...I'm not sure if you are still following the comments to your brilliant William Tell creation this late into 2023 but it seems to me that the possibilities of doing these classical music videos that carry some type of plot would be endless. One composition that comes to mind is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"...WOW! Could you imagine how much fun you and your creative mind would have with the added video imagery of buckets and buckets of overflowing water being strewn everywhere! Hope you give it some thought!
I love, no , I absolutely adore, how you not only played many of the different voices in your choir, but also put it all in front of a really neat background that goes with the music. I’ve only been to Switzerland once but it was up in the snowy Alps. Wait, the snow and mountains was Austria. In Switzerland, our tour group just saw the lion bas relief in the mountain. Anyway, how cool!! I appreciate your efforts!
Usually when one has an arrangement involving a lot of clarinets the piece is transposed to a key more amenable to a Bb clarinet. But this is not being transposed here. So kind of clarinets are being used?
The piece starts out in E minor. On Bb clarinets this would make the case be F# minor. Or are these A clarinets and the key is G minor?
I do not know (bass) clarinet fingering. At the beginning when the bass clarinet goes the high B above middle C (which is resonant on a cello) I see only the thumb used. And on C flute this what you'd use as well for the note B. And then when the C# in the C# - B after that, you see a side key which again would match a C flute kind of thing. (Saxes and clarinets use these keys more than flute does). This would suggest this is more of a Bb clarinet than an A clarinet where these notes would be E-D rather than D# - C#.
Clarinet players out there, which is it?
The performance is flawless and historically accurate in all respects (including the Tottorro) with one small problem in the arrangement.... Starting in line 17 the octave E pizz. are split between two sets of cellos while the contrabassoon plays these both and you hear the key clicks of the octave key. Rossini split this between the two sets of cellos so it would not sound as rustic with the key clicks. But I suppose you could argue this was a Rossini's mistake.
Bravi!
Wowoww, so good, I'm really impressed !!! Everyone played so well!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Duyyyhuyyy y thank you ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! Absolutely magnificent!! How did you make this video with so many clones of yourself and others without using split screen. I love it!! What program did you use for the cloning effect??
Thank you very much ! You need a green screen and then to use any video editing software like davinci resolve !
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 thank you for sharing that information with me. God bless you. I look forward to seeing more of your videos!!! Your talent is absolutely amazing.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I'm now a subscriber. Clarinet and oboe player.
Thanks so much ! And respect for playing oboe, I never managed properly 😭
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 I got braces when I was 12 and my orthodontist insisted I give up the clarinet. I got ok with oboe, but never as good in tone as I did with the clarinet.
6:22 I can't, I just can't...
i love the dancing sheep so much
My greatest respects to Lady Devilleneuve. After 7 months I can only make the oboe sound like an oboe in the low register.
Je suis scandalisée !! Les moutons ne sont même pas crédités, alors que leur rôle est prépondérant comme tout le monde peut en juger. C'est une honte. Bêêêêêê ! 🤪
2:31 what models of B-flats are those, and have they been modified? I don't recognize the non-standard keywork on the lower joint near the bell.
OH my goodness!!!!!! This is so satisfying to watch. The playing is on another level.....on the backend there's the practise then recording plus filming plus costumes plus editing....WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much ! That was definitely a lot of work but I’m really happy if you enjoyed it 😊🙏✨
Bravo, Maestro!!!! Amazing video and incredible musicians! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you ! I’m very lucky to have these friends ✨
Wonderful arrangement!
And I love the fact you still have tried keeping the video "theatrical" by dressing up, there even is Wilhelm Tell in person playing the triangle.
Happy that you like it, thanks so much !
Can I use a few seconds of the Andante (audio only) in a video on one of my channel? I will point to your channel in the description of my video, and also mention it at the end of the video, in the special thanks, in the trailer. tnx :)
Of course the timpani is Bavarian. Another beautiful arrangement combining your great sense of
humour and your magnificent tone and intonation. What would happen if Gad Elameh became a musician.
Merci bien xxx
Thank you so much, I’m happy you enjoyed it ! 🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Recently been recording a lot of my sax quartet stuff for clarinets. Unfortunately when I tried to record bass clar I found half the keys were stuck and a few pads fell out!!! Must admit I played them on Bb clar and octavated them down with software. May even upload them (if I ever figure out how!)
hahahaha what in the shaun the sheep is going on, immediately became your sub upon seeing that ✨extra✨ background actor
Génial ! J'adore. Tout ça me donne envie de me remettre à la clarinette basse. Et la contrebasse est très impressionnante ! Merci pour cette vidéo.
Oh ça me fait plaisir ! Oui il faut de remettre à la basse, c’est tellement plaisant 🤩
If there is one good thing to come of this pandemic, it would be this video...spectacular in every way!! Thank you!
Thank you so much Tim !
This work is, one of the most beautiful amazing think I ever seen, on this hard times we facing write now. thank you.
I’m happy you like it ! It was really a lot of work 😅
where i can get your arrangement in pdf so i can have fun with my bass clarinet and my clarinet?!
That ending BRAVISSIMO!!
@nicolasbaldeyrou What bass clarinet mouthpiece do you play on?
Nicolas Baldeyrou deserves to be called Mr. Perfection! I'm delighted!
Thanks so much and happy new year ! 🥂✨😊
Exceptionnel ! Bravo Nicolas et bravo à toute ton équipe en or! C’est GÉNIAL!!🎉😃 Bon, je regrette un peu qu’il n’y ait pas de harpe dans l’ouverture de Guillaume Tell mais je m’en remettrai😂
Merci Isabelle tu es adorable ! Il y en aura d’autres avec de la harpe ne t’inquiète pas ! Des grosses bises !
Imma get my band teacher to let us play this :D
It’s so much fun, go for it :-))
I like all the sheep in the background.
What is it with you and unusual contrabasses? I have never seen both contras you use before.
He has created a new 'Art Form' - BRAVO!
Thank you so much Ken!
I have nothing else to say but Bravo, and Thank you, dear Nicolas & Everyone who contributed to this colossal project!
You’re so kind ! I’m really lucky to have such good colleagues who just made that by pure friendship ✨
Quite extraordinary! A benchmark for anyone trying this kind of presentation. No wonder there was a gap of a few weeks!
Walter Brewster thank you so much Walter !
Brilliant! and the triangle was - inspired! (I disregard that one extra strike...) Keep practicing. I am all ears...
😂😂😂 the triangle is such a tricky instrument !
I subscribed a little too hard. My thumb is numb now.
I was thrilled ,love the cast! Your just the cutest thing since.
Thank you so much !
VAYA que bueno ...es fantastico la verdad es lo mejor que he visto una maravilla de música y montaje.
Thank you Manuel 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🔥
A+ talents in all Clarinets, Horns, musicianship, arranging, and production! Not to mention your social talents in bringing together your friends! Bravo!
Thank you so much Bob, it was lot of work but it’s really rewarding when you get everything work together 😊
Such amazing playing! Also I love the sheep.
Thank you so much Julia !
Bravo, on voit que vous avez fourni beaucoup d'effort pour faire cette vidéo et ça rend très bien.
J'aime beaucoup la mise en scène (je dirais que ça fait penser aux paysages suisses mais je n'en suis vraiment pas sûr) et puis votre jeu est très virtuose et propre. Je suis moi-même à ma 6ème année de clarinette et j'espère pouvoir jouer un jour aussi bien.
Personnellement, je trouve que l'absence des cordes est étrange à l'écoute mais au moins on entend mieux les bois !
Bonne continuation.
Merci beaucoup !
Love the sheep!
Dizer que você é um músico e profissional fantástico é redundante, pois já te disse isso antes. Mas é sim!! E toda a equipe de músicos e musicistas maravilhosos? Também amei. Parabéns por mais um trabalho incrível, Nicolás. Grata por compartilhar conosco!! Sua fã, Carolina.
Muito obrigado Carolina !!!
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 🥰🥰
Beautiful and amazing playing from you and your colleagues! I love it so much
Thank you so much 😊😊😊🙏✨
Uff NIcolas, Ces clarinettes sont-elles en la? Parce qu'ils sonnent un demi-ton plus bas que si je le joue en Sib. Ou l'avez-vous transporté sur l'ordinateur? et je n'ai pas réalisé jusqu'à aujourd'hui
Bien sûr, toutes les clarinettes qui font les violons sont en la ! Il ne faut jamais transposer à l’ordinateur, le résultat est affreux, et j’aime garder quand je peux les tonalités originales 😊
You are such a talented person! And an inspiration of mine. Watching you so joyfully playing clarinet, I started playing again after almost 12 years pause, during which I could not force myself to play the instrument. Kodos from mother Russia!
You comment really makes me happy ! And so glad you gained motivation to play again 🤩 all the best for the future !!!
What is your bass clarinet set up? I play an open mouthpiece (Vandoren B50). What are some recommendations?
I play B40 with Vandoren 3,5 blue box ! B50 is very good but a little too demanding for me for long phrases
always the highest quality of playing. love the sheeps. thank you for making my day:)
You’re very welcome ! Thank you !
Imagine watching this with earbuds , in work , because its good music, but sheeps dancing at 6:28 on screen and your boss is like wtf are you doing . Just saying...
Sorry for that 😂
Nul doute que si Rossini avait eu des clarinettes basses sous la main, il eut écrit son intro pour ces instruments ! L'introduction est absolument magnifique ! Quel plaisir ! Merci !
Mille mercis cher Georges, ça me touche beaucoup !
Souhaiter un bon dimanche avec une telle vidéo ! Je suis resté scotché devant. C'est un enchantement. Bravo pour l'audace et merci à toi ainsi qu'à tes collègues qui se sont prêtés au jeu.
A quand une version live avec les tenues ;-) ?
Eric Plontz mille mercis ! Pas sûr que tout le monde soit d’accord pour le live en costume 😂
The best thing I have heard and seen today, and likely, the best video you have ever made as well. Much respect.
Thank you very much ! I’m trying to get better, step by step 😊😅
Como é incrível a sua interpretação no clarineta baixo! Estou acabando a graduação mas estou longe ser como você rsrs. Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Muito obrigado ! 🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Hold up. Are those TwoSet Practice shirts I see?
Absolutely, love this merch 😄
Why do they look alike so much?
Thank you so much Wendy!
Hello Cuz, I hope all's well. This is one of the most astonishingly brilliant music videos I've seen. The playing is astonishing, the video editing is so brilliant, I can't imagine how long it took to 1) Arrange the music, 2) learn the individual parts, 3) practise all the individual parts 4) record and edit the whole thing!!
5) Try to spot the deliberate mistake!
Enjoy....!
Much love always, L & K 😊❤️ xx
