I’m almost 68 years old and this arrangement brings back so many great memories.
I am 68, and it brings back memories of my big sister's (76) tumbling routine in her senior talent show.
U'm 78 and remember the song and still love it
It does, doesn’t it!!
Yo también tengo 67 y trae muchos recuerdos
Mancini was a brilliant composer! You can see the baby elephants in your mind while listening to this!
MOST excellent!
Mancini was brilliant, pairing a piccolo and tuba for the most whimsical number ever!
Mad piccolo skills. 👍
The Michigan University marching band did a similar, not identical, version of this with their sousaphones during halftime shows. They called it "The Baby Tuba Walk."
Tubby the Tuba would be so proud. :D
This is not Mancini's version, but an arrangement by Marina Manafova for pic and tuba. Mancini's original did not pair those 2 instruments. In the original version, the Eb clarinet is the solo instrument that plays the theme the first time, and then the second time through the theme, three piccolos play it. Then there's an alto sax jazz solo section, then a jazz flute solo section, and then the Eb clarinet comes back and plays the melody again, with the flutes joining in for a bit. He also used a very unusual instrument to play the background ostinato pattern.....a calliope!
❤
In "Wizard of Oz" there is a Tuba/Piccolo duet in "If I only had a brain'.
When I played baseball, opposing clubs played this as my walk up music. Great performance.
I am 47 and this makes me chuckle. I love love love it. Nice one 😁
This is SO FUN- You can see the enjoyment on the faces of the Conductor, Soloists and Orchestra! What a fine way to drift off the sleep tonight- Thank You!🥰🙏🏾☝🏾🙌🏾
My friend used to show her Saddlebred gelding in a beautiful royal blue velvet dress at Pacific International Horse Show, she was unbeaten and they played this music, her horse would literally match the rythm and sway to it.
I had the pleasure of riding him sidesaddle as a demo at a Jr High loooong ago, because the owner couldn't make it.
Just brought memories back.🎉
Hatari is one of my favorite John Wayne movies! ♥️
The movie was Hatari? Thanks, I couldn't remember
@@rosesacks7430 Yes, with John Wayne in 1962 ... Yesterday ! 🤠i was 14 😉🤨
@@honnoret it was a fun movie 🎬
I love this music, for sure. But this rendition was amazing. It was so much fun. 😊 Henri Mancini is a favorite composer of mine.
I have loved this since I was a kid!!!! I am 63 now and just love listening to it again!!!! You can just picture it!!!!
I have loved this tune for decades. All I have to do is hear the title and it's playing in my head. Such a great tune!
Loved this! Evidently, the audience did too.
Loved Mancini😊😊😊😊😊
How Funny seeing A Baby Elephant holding his mother's tail while walking with her !!
Having Fun 😊 ! Great Music !!
What wonderful Piccolo playing ! Glorious ! I have only ever heard one recorded performance - on 'Vision On', this was simply lovely :-)
The name is Mancini. The woman on Piccolo moves like a Disney character, very cute.
I remember this movie so well and fondly.
What a lovely piece and gifted artists. Thank you for sharing
I remember this from Hatari years ago when the baby elephant went running through the compound
And surprisingly a John Way e movie
@@RealTheBhatia why is it such a surprise that it came from a John Wayne movie? He did more then just cowboys.
A piccolo and tuba with orchestra! It doesn't get any more fun and interesting. My kitty walked across the keyboard and this is what started playing. No kidding. She likes to do it to push my buttons.
@user-so1zr5nx9i - Not a tuba, a euphonium.
Thank you. I appreciate the correction. @@wickedcabinboy
How fun! I loved the piccolo part!
This was a big hit everybody loved it
I am 64 this was one of my favorite songs as a kid.
I remember hearing this when I was a kid & just loved it. ❤🐘❤
My high school band played a simplified arrangement of this piece. This full orchestral arrangement evokes a very different memory. It was being played on a _massive_ boom box (it was the early 80s, after all) carried by a couple of cheerleaders followed by the rookie players on the football team. They, of course, were being hazed by doing the linked hands version of the elephant walk along the school corridors outside the boys' locker room. There was some mild disapproval from the school principal, but it was mostly treated as a good-natured, team building bit of fun (it was the early 80s, after all). Some things you just can't unsee even after many years. 😁
I love this arrangement. So awesome.
I LOVE this arrangement....such talented musicians!
What fun!!
That's a bad ass tuba player. Bravo!
That is a bass horn. A tuba goes over one shoulder.
@@SMcCaskill - that horn is actually a euphonium.
WRONG!! That is an orchestral tuba. Twice the size of a Euphonium.
@@JohnStenstrom - The euphonium comes in a number of sizes and configurations.
@@SMcCaskill No, A sousaphone goes over one shoulder. This a Bb tuba not a BBb Tuba
Well done!!! Love it!!
Hi Ya'll! I remember this music from the film "Hatari" starring John Wayne. Thanks Henry for all of your great music. And ya'll be safe and be well!😊
I remember it from the Simpson's 😅
Hi Treefrog! Great music sure does get around. Thanks for your reply and you be safe and be well!😊
I remember this from the old, OLD Soupy Sales comedy show...one of my earliest memories of TV!
Hi cavecookie! You got me on that one. I watched Soupy all the time. It's been a while so I will try to do some research and look it up. Thanks for the info and for your reply and may you be safe and be well!😊🐘
@@laurapriest8257 I seem to remember that it was an animated short; sort of an early music video. I might be mistaken about that though, after all, it's been a couple of years now! I definitely remember hearing the tune on Soupy's show.
This is one of the few cases of someone making an improvement on the original.
Bu eseri seslendiren sanatcilarin ellerine ve nefeslerine saglik
. Yaşasın teklnolji.Yasasin dunyanin ortak dili sanat..No art no life.
😊 Fun! 😊 💜 Love it! 💜
A different Version of Elephant walk, I never thought it was possible to listen to Tuba to this "interesting" Music but I liked it. Thumbs up
Bass Horn, not a Tuba
awww sorry your royal highness, please dont hate me@@SMcCaskill
@@SMcCaskill - Not a tuba, a euphonium.
@@SMcCaskill Actually an Eb bass and definitely a tuba
@@wickedcabinboy Not even close, a Euphonium is half the size of this instrument which is an Eb Bass.
The conductor tapping his foot says it all
I know!! He was really grooving:-)
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Toda orquesta es maravillosa, pero ésta es extraordinaria; oírla ejecutar este tema me causó felicidad! Gracias a todos sus integrantes!
sounds just fabulous in my ATMOS HT. plenty of quality talent expert technical recording chops
A true blast!! Thanks
Love the xylophone solo
The tubist's shenanigans with the "baby elephant" stuffed toy was a clever and funny addition to the performance. :D
Every time I listen to this I want to give another thumbs up!
Brilliant!
Great! Excellent piccolo. Boss tuba!
Great reminds me of playing music for the cows in the field....❤❤❤
Bravo, très belle interprétation 👍🤓
This is a wonderful arrangement.
I agree, they should bring back those old movis
Love it!
I have heard and played this piece thousands of times, by far this is the alltime best arrangement of this piece! Cudos!!!
LOVE IT!
Just magic.
Bravo! Bravo!!
Also liked the James Galway arrangement of this piece
Genius !!! No other word !!!!
Luv this ❤❤❤
Valeu mesmo, bonito arranjo!!!
So delightful. Makes one feel youthful and happy!
now that you got this down perfect start on the tune popcorn
Супер!!!👍
👍👍👍
Спасибо, я в восторге!
My favorite tune from my days in HS playing the Tuba... though I will say.. the most impressive part is the xylaphonist... that part is quite difficult.
What an enjoyment, I had to learn to play it on the piano in the 1960s!
incredible
Loved hatari
Great
I remember this well, I believe it was used in a movie called Dactari.
You can actually see a baby elephant stumbling around playing
Echoing the comments of many others here, I am of the age that I recall this getting a lot of airplay on "easy-listening" radio stations in the early 70's. Now, as an organist, my flights of fancy make me want to work out an arrangement to do it for a postlude voluntary. I know, it's all too secular, but they don't care or listen really. They just try to talk over the music after the service is done. It could be a hoot.
Hatari one of the greatest movies ever made and absolutely a profound score.
Absolutely laughable and cute. I admire the Tuba player ... that takes a LOT of wind to carry on with.
❤🐘
How fun!
So the tuba is mama? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Bless those Russian hearts!
You gotta walk > 🐘
the walk, Baby!
It's so long since I heard this.
Memories from childhood - when was it first performed?
Mancini wrote it for the film "Hatari" with John Wayne. A fun film.
@@Torby4096 the movie came out 1962
meaning it is 62 years old
@@RS3isRealscape Now that's pretty cool. I should watch it again.
I had flashbacks to the scene in John Wayne's Hatari where they're dealing with escaped ostriches.
😎😎😎
I remember hearing this music in a John Wayne movie.

It’s supposed to be on Eb clarinet not piccolo.
Is it just the nature of a live recording, or does the tuba sound sharp most of the way through?
Le picolo ou toute autre flûte aiguë me hérisse… mais j’avoue qu’ici c’est amusant et jouissif! Et les instruments de l’orchestre ont du fun si les musicien(ne)s eux(elles) d’orchestre semblent plus sérieux (ses) que ceux ou celles d’un band!
J'aime quand la musique un peu populo prend des airs de cours des grands.
Please correct the composer's last name. It was written by Henry Mancini.
Sound engineer messed up. Piccolo comes from the center and tuba from left channel. Should have had piccolo on one side like the tuba. Other than that, not bad.
Now what you need to do is find some way for the diminutive piccolo player and the bulky tuba player to exchange instruments at the end of the piece and each play the other's final note(s).
Send more music.
How often do we see a tuba solo?!!!
Not often enough! I can just about manage The Elephant from Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals. On tuba, of course.
What's with the synchronized clapping/applause at the end?
it's a european thing. i like it
That’s very Russian. (It’s considered sarcastic in the US.)
Very European ! How the rest of the world claps.
It's a very tiny elephant baby😂
The camera man doesn't understand that there are TWO main players 😅
Played this in high school marching band, shorter version, but as written. This is okay, but I prefer what Henry wrote.
Pour guy had to HOLD his tuba during all this time....
The Muensters? 😂
Sad that this place is now a warzone ,thanks to vladi
To all those who praised this performance: Did none of you notice that the tuba was nearly a quarter-tone sharp? That ruibed the entire thing for me, as after a few seconds, that was all i could hear.
Nope. Sounded good to me.
But I did notice how the conductor and the two women flautists were very much enjoying the music and how both musicians at the front matched their instruments.
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
@@mirrage42funny you should say that - I thought they matched their instruments as well!
I don’t think you are going to find that a lot of people hear it the way you are hearing it. Two possible explanations come to mind: with low instruments, especially timpani, but also possibly tuba, we define the pitch we’re hearing based on higher partials, and the equipment you’re listening to it through can influence that. The second explanation might have to do with “widening,“ the general practice, where very high woodwinds will play a bit sharp, and sometimes, conversely, low brass will play a bit under. So, possibly this tuba player as a soloist is not playing under, and you perceive that as Sharp. The piccolo is on the top edge, but not as pronounced as it might be in ensemble chords.
But a quarter tone? Then virtually everyone would hear it the way you are hearing it. These are just theories.
Although, now that I’ve heard the whole thing, starting at 4:13 there are a few notes of questionable intonation.
No.
The whole thing sounded fine to me, so I truly don't care if it is off a little. I suggest you find a performance that fits your perfect ear?
HATARI!!!
The band at a Lizzo concert could play this.
😅🤣😂🐘🐘🦣
