    This was my favorite piece of music ever growing up. I mean all of it, start to finish, wonderful, powerful, thrilling. Benjamin Britten was an incredible composer. Left me out of breath with all the instruments(I tried conducting it in my room), and left me with a very thorough love of hearing music. Can't get enough. Try describing to your friends/parents/children etc. what each instrument was like for you personally. It'll leave you feeling so exhilarated...at least, it did me. I am so pleased this video was available to gift the world.

      ​@@joshuathompson4242 Right? I was shocked as well! There's absolutely nothing wrong with loving classical music, and listening to it does not mean you're nerdy or old (I'm in my 20s). In fact, I would actually argue that listening to it and appreciating it makes you a more sophisticated and respectable person, and I will believe that wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. Good for Britten for composing a piece like this, and good for all of the teachers out there who continue to share it with their students.
      Also, thank you for taking the time to comment on this. It actually made my morning knowing that someone out there cared enough to point that out. I hope you're enjoying the piece as much as I am! :D

    My most distinctive memory from my 6th grade music classes was hearing this piece for the first time (as well as Henry Purcell's Rondeau, on the same day).
    I was 11 or 12 years old, so you can really see how much of an impact that moment had on me, since I still remember it so vividly 17 years later.
    That full orchestra playing the main theme of the piece in full power is one of the most majestic things ever.
    It was actually only several years later that I reconnected with this song - because back in 2003/2004 I didn't have the access to the internet I have today - but listening to this piece still takes me back to that moment, when I was a little boy in class and got chills all over me when I heard this for the first time.
    From this episode, it was only obvious that I became the person I am today, deeply interested in classical music and older music from the 60s-80s.
    I can't speak for my colleagues from back then, but I'm almost sure I am the only one who got such a reaction from that moment in class.

    "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" is based on a theme from Purcell's Abdelazar.
    The soundtrack of the film Pride and Prejudice (2005) features another version of Purcell's Abdelazar theme titled "A Postcard to Henry Purcell" by the composer Dario Marianelli.

I guess its the same, in chorus everyone have their specific section and all the harmonies add up to make a complete piece of music sound beautiful and thats exacly what theyre doing with their instuments. I love that the camera man gave everyone close ups on their specific "solo".

    I look up to these men and women. These days, it really doesn't take as much dedication to be a famous artist. All you basically need is a decent voice, auto tune, and to get naked in a music video. But this is real, classy, beautiful, and pleasant music. These people are truly talented. I wish they got the same recognition that famous "artist" do today.

    • @MahlayStudios

      Indeed, this is beautiful music! Classical music is so under-appreciated nowadays, but because of wise people like you, this music can escalate to a higher status in the contemporary world.

    UNENDLICHEN DANK für diese tolle Aufnahme !

Und in Musik wurde eben dieses Werk einmal vorgestellt , mit dem damaligen Sinfonieorchester des Südwestfunkes . Eine der wenigen Aufnahmen , die ich damals - noch ohne TH-cam und Smartphone , mit meinem damaligen Musiklehrer , selbst Posaunist in ebendiesem Orchester . Gefunden hatte . Lediglich LA MER von Debussy und "Gruppen für drei Orchester" von Stockhausen , damals gespielt unter Michael Gielen in der Halle des SNCF in Stassburg .

    16:01 On the first listening, it was a mess for me but, during the second listening I understood. And now, every time I hear it, my mind completely freezes - it simply takes my breath out for that 45 seconds...
    When I was younger, people sometimes said, listen to Britten, he is very inspiring and imaginative... And I usually said like MEH. Now I understand, that it is really something... that is real music from an extraordinary composer of modern music, who proved that it is possible to invent something new, while it may be still listenable, even more- absolutely beautiful. Sorry 4 my bad english...
