Game of Thrones “The Rains of Castamere” (Cover for 40+ Low Brass) (21 Bass Trombones, 7 Contrabass Trombones, 8 Tubas, 3 Cimbassos, and 9 Tenor Trombones)
5 Years later, your favorite low brass ensemble is back. This time with more bass trombones.
Over 40 of New York City’s top commercial and orchestral low brass musicians have reunited for Epic Low Brass “The Rains of Castamere.” This one-of-a kind ensemble features the legendary Joe Alessi on tenor trombone, an absurd amount of contrabass trombones and cimbassos, musicians from across the city, including Broadway, the New York Philharmonic, and the Metropolitan Opera.
We have known for a while that we needed to make another video, but getting this many low brass together at one time is quite challenging. After five years of plotting and waiting, the low brass players of New York were all available late one Sunday evening, and it was time to do it again. In an effort to make the ensemble even bigger (and lower), we decided to double the size of the group to over 40, adding many more bass trombones and tubas. This may be the only city in the world with a deep enough pool of professional low brass players to form an ensemble such as this. “The Rains of Castamere” celebrates the Lannister’s decisive victories over their rivals, and was featured prominently during the “Red Wedding” episode of Game of Thrones. Our arrangement features a solo by New York Philharmonic principal trombonist Joe Alessi, includes more contrabass trombones and cimbassos than is wise, and has been said to be Ser Tywin Lannister’s preferred version.

The night is dark and full of so many trombones.
Hahahahahahajahshaha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is their natural habitat.
Vhalar Trombonis?
🤣🤣🤣
As a proud member of the trombone army, I can proudly say this is true
It appears that you've used every contrabass trombone in the world for this! I hope nobody else needed one that day!
we don't like to share.
Lol
BoveAudio lol
Don't forget the cimbassos. Theres even less of those
Never had the chance to play a cimbasso
Low brass players around the world are currently cackling with glee
You are perfectly correct
Sir, this song made me so giddy at 2:04 I had a gidgasm.
You got that right
This made me take out a trombone to learn over the summer. I already play trumpet and horn so why not just keep getting lower in the brass section. I wish to play tuba one day
@@amiraibrahim8856 Please do. I play tuba and it's awesome
Sure, tubas can *play* low notes.
Contrabass trombones *weaponize* low notes...
jeffgoblue amen
Tubas can too🔥
@@jasonmartinez7667 buuuut not as awesome as them trombones
That cut me real deep man
i hate bashing my own instrument but i play trombone and tuba sooo
I'm sure Hanz Zimmer would love to get his hands on some of that ultra-low brass *WAHHHH WAHHHHH*
Ramin Djawadi actually worked for Hans Zimmer for a while.
I know it's a joke but as it is a widespread misconception: Hans Zimmer did indeed come up with the low base sound for Inception and Sherlock but didn't really use it since. Other composers did pick up on it though and use it on everything.
i like writING IN D
He can easily get this kind of power if he wants it. Inception was scored for 6 tenor trombones, 6 bass trombones (2 doubling contra), and 4 tubas for example.
He doesn't want it. He records the brass players and then perverts the sound with digital effects and reverb, sometimes combined with brass samples. This is how things are done at Remote Control Productions. It's insulting to the musicians.
This instrumentation should be the standard orchestral low brass section.

Exactly
It doesn't match with strings most of the time
@@marsaeolus9248 We don't need strings, winds and percussion is all one could ever ask for.
It wold take quite a lot of strings to balance with this... I calculated around 400 to match up
Lead tromphone has eyebrow expression that rivals Emilia Clarke
Steven Desmond that‘s joe alessi, the lead trombonist of the NY Symphonic orchestra and one of the world‘s best. His eyebrows are as famous as himself.
@@dubbieditch6200 they have more fame than he does 😭😭😭
@@dubbieditch6200 the New York phil you mean? I hope you meant that
It’s Joe Alessi, of course his eyebrows are gonna be epic.
Let's not forget to mention dialing in that final note at 2:06 with his eye brows
As a tuba player, those pedal D's are the best things ever.
This is why I want them to do this with a bunch of Tubas and percussion for the piece "The Gun Pointed at the Head of Universe" from Halo 1. Pedal Gs (yes, the one too low for Piano to play), and low Ds and Cs (and some pdeal Bb's as well). Would be awesome.
As a trombonist, I agree
I'm more impressed with the 3 cimbasso players in the same country let alone the same city
Brian Connelly well I cimbasso isn’t that common it’s basically a trombone tuba
@@jokerstarxiii1247 plenty of people play tuba. The cimbasso is something special.
@@tru3fr0stb1te4 Not in america
You'd be surprised how many cimbasso players are out there. For tuba players like myself it's a fun secondary instrument to learn.
funkapotamus86 is it the same fingerings as tuba then?
I’d fly half way around the world to watch this group perform if I had to
Same
User_ mk same
If only it were possible! I’d bring my 50B though! Invite us all next time. Go for 💯
Bring it on! any time, any where, any price.
These guys could be performing in the middle of an active war zone and I’d still be willing to go and watch it.
2:04 I have never felt full-body frisson until this moment
F3Ibane that’s what she said!
Then you need to watch more marching band shows
@@calebrice7665 Well there aren't usually 7 contrabass trombones, 3 Cimbassos and 1 Joe Alessi in marching band shows
Watch dci
@@fishy_vinnylike charley hibschwieler 4555 said: marching band shows usually don’t have 7 contra trombones, 3 combassis and a joe alessi.
This was already epic enough. Then you throw in a Joseph Alessi solo and it is just unbeatable.
2:05 god that low note is fire
The mic is like oh plz god no plz God no no no noooooooooooooooo
Sent shivers down my spine! 😁
The low note is sick, but let's not forget about the super high note by the soloist
As a string bass player and just started learning tuba, this is such a bliss to listen to. Nothing beats the 'oomph' of low brass. Damn I teared up 😭
it's haunting and beautiful
Nothing beats the oomph except for the oomph
I started on trombone in highschool, but later switched to cello in my first year and i regret not continuing with it. nothing beats the oomph
Ikr cause i play trumpet and all my low brass friends say it boring but i said..your lucky do you know what great power you bring
Live the dream! Learn ALL the BASS. So when someone asks you what you play, you can just say BASS.
2:29 dude in the back really felt it
💀
Is it just me, or does everyone in this orchestra look like a villain in their own movie?
I get it, traditional Musician wear of all black can be bad ass.
It’s probably because of that low end power face
Joe Alessi could almost be a Bond villain or something 😂
All of T-bone players are villians:D love this instrument anyway:D
Tbf every low brass player looks like that... But then I'm a percussionist and have a natural mistrust of all key-reading musicians.
My life is complete after hearing 14 bass trombones and 7 contras in one band.
2:56 Is that Joe Alessi just absolutely nailing an A5? What the hell man...
too low? :)
Must have been written especially for him...
What exactly is an a5?
iNs0 the second A above middle C
F5
I think it's well established that in 2019, thid is the best low brass video ever made (so far).
nope, thats the cso doing shosty 7 under bernstein
Charley Hibschweiler lol
@@charleyhibschweiler4555 links please -- or it didn't happen....
@@claytonniemann4361 ruclips.net/video/drhq4frGo60/видео.html
Well, certainly a great performance wrung out of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra by Bernstein, but not a low brass specific video. Sooo, thank you for the link.
I live for fat, loud, dark brass sounds. This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips, mostly because the hit just gives me goosebumps everytime
I love how it keeps building up and then erupts at 2:06. Beatiful
boom
made me tear up
at that point, you know death is coming.
The Rains of Castamere, more like The Rains of Blastamere.
New Album Title.
😂
more like BORE RAGNAROK amirite

Just imagining this as an opener for a Carolina Crown show :)
I'd be soo down. Jim Coates, where you at!
Put all 90 brass players on bari, euph, tromb, and contra and watch them go
Bohong if I can like this more than once I would
y e s
good lord i might cry just thinking about that
The part at 2:04 is just amazing I cant stop listening to it. I really want to play this
I found sheet music if that’s what you need.
@@christianb1707 oh my lord how do I get them
Look up musescore, hazel grace rains of castamere low brass, and it should be there.
This video has me almost as excited as Alessi's eyebrows
Zach ary LMFAOOO
Say what you will, but you can NEVER go wrong with Joseph Alessi.
He's a beast.
Can we call his sound “classic” trombone? Doesn’t sound like a French horn or like he’s in a closet or under water. Pure trombone
@@brucekuehn4031 well, classic American, sure. Other countries go for different tones than we do. Their loss.
That's the first time I ever heard him crack a note. I was still sell my soul to play like
Spam Mail he didn’t crack a note lol
2:06 you shouldn’t be allowed to do this to human beings. I involuntarily shouted “YES”, and would like to be warned of such things in the future
Daniel Hannen The great Joe Alessi, principal of the New York Philharmonic right there.
major eargasm
@@jeffgoblue Joe alessi?
chris wolfe Oops! Thanks, Chris. I’ll fix it.
An orgasm for the soul.
"(...) when Lord Farman of Faircastle grew truculent, Lord Tywin sent an envoy bearing a lute instead of a letter. But once he’d heard “The Rains of Castamere” echoing through his hall, Lord Farman gave no further trouble."

Every time joe Alessi raises his eyebrows a new contrabass is born
when they empty out their spit valves, all of africa’s drought is going to end
Screw that, the whole worlds!
And Danny Thomas does a spit take from The Other Side.....
ThatGuy underrated comment
I just gotta like this because it’s so true
ThatGuy thanks for making me laugh that killed me
Even as a saxophone player, I can't believe the immense power of this song.
You might want to learn the proper spelling of your instrument 😉
@@Pseudifyit’s correct
@@marco-ro6cl Notice that he edited his post.
Months later I am still blown away into low brass heaven. Bass Trombone/Tuba player here.
Dang! I wish I could have been in that room! Brass just cannot be duplicated via recording.
Well, everyone in that room got slaughtered. Probably best you weren't there.
Soylent Green has to come from somewhere! And if you are what you eat.... ;-p
If you look closely you can see the stands and the lights in the back very lightly vibrating
Mate, trust me, they're wearing headphones for a good reason.
You would be gunshot deaf for a good while if you were in there without headphones
I can't stop smiling at this!
This is ear candy for low brass players...as a trombone player I absolutely love this!!
Eargasmic
There is no instrument in this whole wide world which is able to produce sounds that even come close to the mightyness of a contrabass trombone
I don't know why, but I feel like I just ate the biggest hamburger,
You made me laugh so hard I woke my sleeping girlfriend up at 2am.
You made me laugh so hard I woke up no one cuz I don't have a girlfriend.
@@Adamman217 2 AM is the only appropriate time to watch this video to its full effect lol.
this is why I love contrabass trombones, they sound so... cthnonic, like if the depths of earth itself are playing the sound.
I’m speechless this is just amazing, the trombone that plays so high it sounds like a trumpet. That’s insane
Joseph Aless and GoT crossover... who knew we needed this?!
If you’re not blubbering tears of pure bass trombonish joy by the end can you really call yourself a low brass player
Seeing as I’m a French Horn… I honestly have no idea where I am.
As a baritone, I can certainly say this is a true statement.
I'm a brass player (cornet & french horn) but I've never seen or heard of a cimbasso before. Thank you! I love GoT and this is a fantastic version of The Rains of Castamere!
The Cimbasso is the Sasquatch of the Brass word, people have heard of its existence but only a few claim to have seen one!!!
@@NeilABliss I bopped around on one at a convention hall full of brass manufacturer displays. I gathered a (very) small crowd of people who were wondering what that thing was.
@@klaptongroovemaster What are the pros & cons of a cimbasso over a contrabass trombone?
@@ruanpingshan I have played both, given a choice I would probably prefer a contrabass, but I am a trombonist by training. For the tubist the clear choice would be the cimbasso . If I had to play in a confined space... cimbasso. But honestly, beyond that they don't sound significantly different. No more so than say trombone Vs valve trombone.
The cimbasso is for all intents and purposes a valve contrabass.
pros and cons: one is louder, and the other is louder.
Damn was not expected to get that kind of chill ... those low brass just hit the chord...
Like a barn full of elephants after eating a truckload of cabbage. I love it!
I made a brown wedding in my pants.
Which one of you cowards shit my pants?

I literally laughed out loud at this comment.
The bathroom sends its regards
Hysterical !!! You must still be so....moist.
2:07 - Whew! Those blasts put Hans Zimmer's BWOWM's to shame!
The wailing sound is so haunting.Young Ravens or dragons are being evoked in my mind. Just wonderful ! Perfection brought me chills ....Thank you.
I've been playing the trombone for a few years but this is the first time I've ever seen a cimbasso (or three of them!).
Is that the instrument in the front row glimpsed at 2:46?
@@reidenouerfamily375 Yes.
@@marcusnosslin thanks! I've been in many an orchestra but never one with most of the instruments in this ensemble.
Joseph Alessi is an absolute beast. Such power and intensity can be felt with each note being played. Well done, extremely well done!!
Never been more proud to be a trombone until this video 🙌
We can hear them, those goddamn elephants finally :D
Joseph’s tone is so insane…it sounds like a F Horn section soaring over the top of that
There is nothing like the sound of a room full of brass players. Amazing!
They really do deserve the title for epic low brass
At the end of december 2020, this song will start playing all over the world and everyone will know this is the end.
I'm currently watching Game of Thrones for the first time. Today, I saw the "red wedding", and while I really liked this video before, it has a whole new level of depth and impact. Holy shit I love this show.
I like how they all collectively take breaths at the same time and you can hear it
Oh my god I have listened to this song countless times and it never ceases to give me goosebumps. I wish so bad that this would be performed live somewhere so that I could experience the true power of these legendary brass players.
My dream is to have a Tywin Lannister + Rains of Castamere prequel TV show with 2-3 seasons and have this theme play and other variations of it!
The absolute pure raw power that eminates from this is unnaturally empowering.
I guess you could say you got hit at Brass Velocity
This inspired me to pick up my trombone again. The melodic tone with that edgy and beautifully gnarly sound of the trombone just gives all low brass players this feeling of glee and just laugh enjoyably how well this instrument is played. Truly no other instrument in the brass family can ever sound this direct, this wholesome, this loud of a TROMBONE 💯🙌
can we also appreciate the fantastic tuning?! its sooo in tune!
This really does show the superiority and power the low brass has over the other sections

I WANT MORE
10 HOUR VERSION OR SOMETHING
IT'S NOT DAMN ENOUGH
The national anthem of Mordor
Why aren't there more clips on this channel, low brass is so epic!
What astounds me besides the *MEATY* vibrations coming from the cimbassos and contrabasses hitting them pedal tones, is that you can hear French Horns and Trumpets, but from a trombone and I love that so much.
Low brass is just, yessssss, like its soo beautiful with low meaning.
Holy crap that's Joe alessi playing Game of Thrones
EDIT. I just listend again. Is that him going up to an A5!
that was me :)
@@WilliamLang nice, dude!
It's a D isn't it?
William Lang mad respect, the attack on that note was clean too👍
2:24 does anyone else get chills when you hear this?
The power of 40 professional low brass players is godlike.
I learned music playing trumpet in middle school, but it wasn't until I started playing Baritone and Tuba in high school that it really light my fire.
Music is Life.
"Epic low brass" aka 99% trombones. That's where it's at
I used to blast bass trombone in high school. This brought back wonderful pedal tone memories!!! LOL
A year later and I still admire Joe for getting this awsome group together. What an amazing group of low brass in one place. I LOVE IT !!!
I just love the sound of a bass/contrabass trombone with it's bell reverberating, such a beefy sound.
This is what we trombones and tubas have to be proud of ourselves
I can say that I have watched this everyday for the past 3 months and I still get chills every time.
I swear I listen to this at least twice a day
Can't stop watching this video Andy & crew. It's so epic!!
Thanks Joel!
Joe Alessi, tremendous. Two former Atlanta symphony players Colin Williams and George Curran, miss those guys!
Joe is awesomb!
Colin Williams and George Curran are beasts! I saw them play Firebird with NYP. Of course having the legendary David Finlayson on second helps to make anybody even more amazing.
@@dnarbredlih They are. I miss having them in Atlanta. There are some great videos with them playing with the Southeast Trombone symposium. Joe Alessi came down a few years as well.
Me, a trombonist erupted with joy at this video! Low brass is just insanely awesome... Let alone the trombone! It's uniquely perfect!
Such an experience listening to the low, dark booming brass for the first time. I can imagine that, when doing the same with upper brass (trumpets/cornets, tenor horns), the atmosphere will be very different
Oh lordy, that low-brass growl gets me every time.
From a trumpet player.....I have CHILLS listening to this!!! Well done! WOW!!!
This is by far the best lower brass group I have heard, I am in heaven.
I am not exaggerating when I say this brought tears, Joseph Alessi especially, his tone is everything I aspire to be and I will practice my entire life until I reach that point
Joe Alessi - The idol of many and the reason I became a Trombonist in the first place. Absolutely adore this arrangement.
I actually learned some cool techniques by watching this over and over
As a fellow trombone player I have only one thing to say. WOW!
Greg Booker well u and I both have some practicing to from one trombonist to another
This is easily amazing work. I get goosebumbs on the whole body when I hear that. Thanks to Ramin Djawadi and especially to this orchestra who did an awesome job playing and arranging this masterpiece.
No sound can compete with the sound of the low brass it’s a sound that can make you feel every emotion at once
I have always loved the previous recording of the Game of Thrones theme. This is bliss.
No questions...this cannot be denied. Epic.
And glad to see my teacher play in this!!!
Whom ?
@@brianhenson8083 Steve Norrell, Met Opera, bass trombone (retired)
He was right behind Curran and Alessi. 1:43
I’m blasting this on a big speaker, and the ground is SHAKING.
nice
I love how you can hear them breathing in between rests, shows definite quality and air tone.
Absolutely wonderful, I had the pleasure of playing alongside Joe Alessi a few years back, what an impressive guy. I for one would like to see more!
