I take it you haven't seen the movie. You should.
If Christine was singing in the woods the birds would stop and listen and bow their heads in respect.... HAKAD
Awesome! One of the most iconic pieces for almost any genre of film. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone react to this.
BRAVO! Thank you Dan for the request - what an awesome arrangement for a great movie. Saw "A Fist Full of Dollars" "For a Few Dollars More", "Hang'em High" and the best of all - The Good, The Band and The Ugly." I get chills every time I hear this. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra also did an arrangement for Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in 2006 and it is stunning! What a great ending to my day. Thank you Don for a fantastic reaction - especially not having seen the movie! Haunting melody, made more so with the Symphony Orchestra! A 10+ is my rating!
This is an amazing performance. And one of the most iconic songs in the western movie genre, if not all genres. Ecstacy of Gold by Ennio Morricone who, i believe, was the composer wrote it for the movie The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly starring Clint Eastwood back in the 60's spaghetti westerns.
I believe the second part is from the cemetery scene where Tuco is running and searching for the grave that the money is buried in. Magical piece of music!
Right - that where it's from.
"Ecstasy of Gold"
As a Dane , im so proud of our DNSO, they are so talented, they have alot of soundtracks under their belt... You should REALLY watch the movie...
They also have ALL the money, due to being under the DR umbrella.
@@eidodknot anymore
@@anne-mariesindruprix4792 What do you mean "not anymore" ? You're still paying for them, it's just moved from a bill to tax collection.
Wow, Don, I'm pleasantly surprised to see this great video reacted to on the channel. The movie is my favorite western along with "Once Upon a Time in the West" (by the same Italian director, Sergio Leone). Clint Eastwood was my favorite western movie actor growing up. Watched this movie probably 75 times or more throughout my life. It's just one of those I can watch over and over again. And I've watched this performance of the song by the Danish National Symphony orchestra many times. It never gets old! One of the more popular videos and for good reason. Their performance of this classic is awesome! Thanks for the great reaction Don! And thanks Dan for the request.
thanks Don been on my playlist for a few years. get goose bumps every time Christine sings . another 10 ... be safe ...HAKAD
Thank you Dan! It's been on mine for a year or so. Absolutely brilliant!
you are welcome ma'am .. HAKAD@@carolinasbeauty
The conductor, Sarah Hicks is the Principal Conductor with the Milwaukee Orchestra and she also is sought after as a "Guest Conductor" around the world, as she was here. It was Sarah that put this concert together, chose the music, went through ALL of the individual sheets of music making notes to the musicians, then rehearsing them to prepare for this concert. The entire concert is available on DVD and I bought it! She is quite an incredible individual leading quite an incredible group of "top Tier" musicians! The DVD is great!
Well that was really cool
From your comments I take it you've never seen the iconic movie of the same name with Clint Eastwood released in 1966. That's why you seen the hanging man earlier.
Always fun to watch a reaction to this amazing piece. The hanging dummy and the Clint Eastwood image are references to the movie. There are two kinds of people…those who have seen it and those who have not… (see the movie to understand this one.). There are two selections from the score: the main title and Ecstasy of Gold. Thanks for your effort and time to produce this fine react…keep’em coming!!
You dig.
And I saw as a Comment from DNSO about this absurdly successful Performance, that by that time, more than - 3 million people had watched this Concert on RUclips!
But even the Production is also excellent, following the actual used instruments or singers, when they play or sing. I am a proud Dane!
it is a sound track for the movie the good the bad and the ugly most people say its the best western ever made
not only a very good, but also a very well filmed performance. and as for Ennio Morricone, according to the most conservative estimates, the man was a genius. ❤
You asked about the guy hanging from the rafters. The Danes take their performances very seriously. The guy hanging was a patron who had forgotten to turn his cell phone off. Just kidding, it refers to a scene in the movie. 🙂
The voices represent what was going on in the movie not individual characters.
the instrument you asked about is called "english horn" it is in the oboe family of instruments
🇨🇦 Okay, the DNSO has over 100 musicians and over 70 Choir members !
The Conductor (Lady waving the baton) does most, if not all, of the arrangements, and that means the arrangements for all the instruments !
The 'clarinet' was in fact an Obo ! Another was the Tubular Bells, and the clapping of the two planks was to simulate the cracking of the whip from the Movie ! And the figure hanging from the rafters was an amusing reference to the theme of the Movie ! You really should see the Movie !
English Horn, Not Oboe - much larger instrument with lower pitch.
The Tubular Bells is known as Chimes in the USA and some other countries.
Thanks Dan for this brilliant request! I never would have thought of it for the channel, but it really works - it's so magnificent. About Don's comments on the orchestration: I heard Ian Tyson in concert when he was singing his songs with the Calgary Symphony Orchestra. During the concert he said that writing the orchestration, by true professionals at this, was the most time consuming and expensive part of the whole performance. And Ian's songs are not complex by most standards, so it gives us an idea of what it takes. I have the utmost respect for musicians and truly appreciate their contribution to our lives. Thanks Don for the excellent reaction and the super rating!!!
can't get more western than the good the bad and the ugly .... HAKAD
When they need new Musicians it is a contest between the Appliers and the best is chosen! And many have come from the East when their Countries broke down, so the quality is extreme!
@@dansigurdson Recorded in Spain for Italian and German money and with an Italian Instructor and Composer. It may hardly become more original American than this Film!! Only the three main Actors were American!
The solo woodwind instrument is an English Horn, part of the double reed family that includes the smaller oboe and larger bassoon.
That was a oboe.
@@georgelynch6139 Nope - the bent focal at the mouthpiece ONLY exists on English Horns
Professional Musicians and Professional Singers, perhaps #1 in the world. It doesn't get any better. This is the theme song to movie of the same name. American western starring Clint Eastwood. Watch the movie and u see the references to the ""Hanging man"". They do a lot of movie themes, especially James Bond movies themes.
And you could easily buy a major luxury car for the price of one of those Violins. Several are made by old Italian Masters!
The music is true to the original score.
Their cover of the theme from the movie Gravity is heavenly.
I love that movie. If you like westerns you should watch it.
The sound track and one additional song from one of the greatest movies ever made - #10 on IMDB's 250 greatest movies of all time.
That's a oboe.
Nope it's not - well - it's the same family, but it's an English Horn. Much larger, lower pitch, bent focal at the mouthpiece.. None of what is present on the Oboe.
@@eidodkit’s an Oboe
@@aussiedeplorable8670 It's an english horn. The English Horn is in the oboe family, but the mouthpiece has a bent neck, which an oboe doesn't. The English Horn is so large it HAS to bend the motuhpiece, or else you couldn't reach all notes.
It's an English Horn. Same family of instrument as the Oboe - but larger and lower pitch.
They call her Tuva... and she wears Guns for ear-rings.
Here’s another great version of this from the London Ukulele Orchestra … it’s a lot of fun! The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
After listening to this makes want to go watch the movie again.
You may be the first person over 50 in western civilization that has neither heard this theme song nor seen the epic movie The Good, The Bad &The Ugly. Wow.
Well, please watch all three movies: A Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. You’ll understand the hangman props used in this performance then. And besides they’re all a good watch! Cheers
I believe that is an English horn used in the beginning of Ecstasy of Gold ....
From the greatest western ever.
Sorry but that would have to be 'The Searchers"
Last time I checked the DNSO had over 120 million views on this video.
The instrument you mentioned was an Oboe, one of the most difficult instruments to play. “Gabriel’s Oboe” by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is a brilliant version of this great tune.
It's actually an english horn.. It's kindof an oboe, but a much larger instrument and pitched a fifth lower - Playing an A will make it sound a concert-D. The bent focal is a giveaway of the horntype. You wouldn't be able to work an english horn with a straight focal.
Check out the first singer's pistol earrings.
The hanging man is 'the ugly'.
There is a culture of classic musicians doing different genres just to show, what music is. Mostly Europian Orchesters. Like VSOP, VIENNA Symphonic Orchestra Project, 30 years ago they did Rock in Orchestra style. Worth listening!!!
4:35 An oboe.
Believe it's actually an english horn.. It's kindof an oboe, but a much larger instrument and pitched a fifth lower - Playing an A will make it sound a concert-D. The bent focal is a giveaway of the horntype. You wouldn't be able to work an english horn with a straight focal.
English horn, a double reed instrument between the oboe and the bassoon.
I believe it is an Oboe.

Spaghetti Westerns aren't really my cup of tea. Maybe because the local TV stations edited them so much. And try complex to figure out complicated noir plots when they are cut up to fit in commercials! And since the films were available uncut more and more over the last couple of decades I really love film noir now that can see that they do make sense. I've tried to give the spaghettis a fair chance but nope.
However, there was a Top 40 pop recording of this song that was actually very good.
A person on another site pointed me to the fact that the Wah Wah lady is wearing six shooter earrings.
It’s an oboe and not an alto clarinet.
It’s an English Horn
na, none of them are ugly
Alto Clarinet? No, oboe..
Which is a deeper version of the clarinet, so it is a good guess.
@@klausolekristiansen2960 Sorry, please do not mislead the readers. Since I play both the clarinet and oboe, I know the only similarity between these two instruments is they both belong to the woodwind family of instruments. The oboe is a double reed musical instrument of the woodwind family. The woodwind family of instruments includes, from the highest sounding instruments to the lowest, the piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon and contrabassoon.
@@ThaiChinaMalay This one is - however - an English horn. The bent focal at the mouthpiece gives it away.
