The movie is EPIC!! Clint at his best. The pinnacle of the "Spaghetti Western" genre. The story is great. The acting superb. Three guys bent on the same goal. Strap yourselves in for a hell of a ride!
Unappreciated!!!??? Just because he didn't get that stupid statue for this (wasn't even nominated), really? You better get to know his accomplishments a little better.
The body is in reference to the movie “Th Good, The bad, and the Ugly”. In the film, two people run a scam where they turn in a bad guy to be hung, and the other guy rescues him before it happens - there is more, but that is basically it
The whole night was called a night of Clint Eastwood's movie theme, the person hanging is for hanging high, The Good the bad and the ugly represented by the tombstone. High plain drifter is a silhouette on the back of Clint Eastwood.
RE: Body hanging from the rafters, the Danish National Symphony is a well disciplined and tight out-fit, it's actually the former first violinist, whom was unfortunately 5 minutes late for rehearsal. You have to draw the line somewhere.
Good one, i shall not laugh as i am the most late human ever walked the (flat ofcourse) earth... and i bloody tell you that youtube did NOT make it better... lol but godammit
As a Dane I'm - very, very proud of how much attention, really much, my local Symphony Orchestra is getting here on TH-cam from this fine Concert. But the members are really high class musicians, so they do deserve it! 😁
Yes. Outstanding musicianship! Watch this several dozens of times and you'll see and hear many new things in the video. And do a search for Ennio Morricone and Susanna Rigacci to hear and see how the maestro handled his own composition with his favorite soprano.
yeah. I love them also. Gaming in Simphony, Galaxymphony 1 and 2, Agents are forever, Fantasymphony are all great performances. Still waiting for them to do a war film music concert.
As an italian I'm very proud of how they managed to recreate the scores, in their original sounding (sorry, I'm not a musician lol) with a new twist but a lot of respect for Morricone.
As a Swede I have to admit that it's a very well deserved attention your local symphony orchestra is getting. When I had heard this particular track on TH-cam I had to buy the entire DVD - many great renditions on it.
Ennio Morricone wrote the music , Sergio Leone directed the film . We italians are very proud of both , because challenging the americans on western films was not an easy task - Whether you hate or love western films , you MUST see it - The music , I have heard it a thousand times , and every time I enjoy listening to it again - I am glad you liked and appreciated it - ciao , grazie per il tuo video !
@@usertrash2304 filmed in the surrounding areas of Almeria, in extreme SE Spain - a truly desolate area.. the only true desert in Europe proper. As someone from Utah who has lived in that sort of environment, It always amazes me how they reprodced the territroy of Utah/Nevada are.. Not Arizona or there would have been the famous Saguaro cacti,
as an american who watched the westerns, I love how Leone totally de-constructs the prescriptivist and moralist genre that we had to watch growing up. The good vs. evil binary that permeates so many of the Ford and Huston and other westerns is totally flipped by the much more realistic representation of Leone's films. The Dollars Trilogy in particular highlights the idea that there are no allies, only common interests...ultimately, most people are out for themselves and they'll hook up with anyone who can help them advance and gain. We in the US need to know this, but it is lost on so many. The other current running through especially the Good the Bad and the Ugly is the futility and tragedy of war. I think once Leone said "war is stupid" (not sure tho) but certainly this is exemplified in the movie. Note especially the scene near the bridge, and the words of the captain.
The most intense 5 minutes in cinema history is the showdown between Blondie , Tuco , and Angel Eyes. The cinematography and score of the movie is absolute perfection. So miss movies shot in wide shot , especially western type movies.
I love Once Upon a Time too They're both a 10 from me. I'll take The Good The Bad And The Ugly as the better film for me personally. One reason is Eastwood just has wayyy more screen presence than Bronson. Just has way more natural charisma and cool factor. Fonda was a fantastic villain , but to me the most compelling character by far is Jeremy Robards. The only thing I really don't like about once upon a time is the first 10 minutes of the movie. For some reason I've always found that scene a bit on the cheesy side. As far as final showdown I still go TGTBATU. Again both epic but just a personal choice. Can't go wrong with either movie , they're both epic 1A and 1B.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has the better one liners… “Two kinds of people in the world, those with loaded guns, and those who dig… you dig…” And my personal favorite: “When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk…”
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... such a GREAT movie. The cemetery scene alone is probably some of the best cinema ever recorded to film. The score that plays during that scene is iconic, too. Enjoy your first time watching :)
@@stevenklein3195 "Magnificent", is taken/stolen from a very long film by Japanese: Akira Kurosawa. Do try to find this Film: "The Seven Samurais"! It is considered one of the finest Films ever made, in Black and White, and for a good reason! The final fight in heavy rain is exceptional!!
Ennio Morricone (RIP) wrote all the music for those Clint Eastwood "spaghetti" westerns. Fist Full of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, Good, Bad and Ugly. Incredible scores!
Ennio Morricone also wrote the soundtrack for "Two Mules For Sister Sara", another western film starring Clint Eastwood, which was not filmed in Italy but Mexico
Listening to a full orchestra live should be on everybody's bucket list. Even if you don't know a thing about music, it's an experience not to be missed!
I agree. My first experience was in elementary school. A trip to the Philadelphia Academy of Music to hear Peter and the Wolf performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. When the violins played I was crying tears of joy & pleasure. It was so beautiful, I had never been so moved by anything so good & beautiful before.
I heard one at the local college and they did Star Wars music - the way the sound fill up your ears therein is totally different than other forms of music-listening.
Let me tell you: As a music teacher and an orchestral violinist for over 50 years, your children are SO FORTUNATE to have you as parents. I love how open-minded you are to all kinds of music! Take them to an orchestra concert; encourage them to study an instrument! Learning an instrument can be frustrating and difficult at times, but the end result is a huge reward!!!
I was lucky enough growing up to be able to go and see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra on field trips in elementary school. It cost us a whole $1 to go by bus downtown to see them at least once a year. And everyone in the class would go, so we all got to see it. A few years later I was chosen to be a part of the city freshman choir and sing with the DSO. Such a thrill
As Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young famously wrote/sang, Teach Your Children (well). I think the Robinson kids are really lucky in their choice of parents.
Life’s so crazy. When you think about this barmy Italian guy who wants to make Westerns without setting foot in America, manages to convince Clint Eastwood to come over and star in them, and finds an unknown composer to make timeless music to soundtrack them. Then 50 years later an orchestra in Denmark blows up the web playing those songs. Just nuts.
Actually Ennio Morricone was a well-known Italian, Classical Composer, who became asked by Sergio Leone to make the score, and without actually seeing the films, to my knowledge? And his music for films became legendary!
The piece called "the ecstasy of gold" at the end, where the ugly runs between the graves in the cemetery of "SAD HILL" is magnificent. Thank you Maestro Morricone
The genie lamp with holes in it is actually called in ocarina. It's a woodwind that makes a very hollow sound because of the large cavity in it. Sometimes made of wood, more often porcelain. It very much fits the "spaghetti western" genre, because the origin of the instrument is Italian and the western movies of this specialty were made by Italian moviemakers.
😆 It's one of the few instrument names I know - my music teacher at secondary school took great pleasure in telling me. And always used to spell my name with a 'C'.
Ocarina is a very ancient musical instrument, is found in Prehispanic America, but also in old China or Mid West. It can be made of wood, but also bones, bark, and more usually pottery. I had a beautiful pottery one I bought in a shop with peruvian things; it brokes when I moved.
I kind of laugh when I first saw her doing this wah wah, imagine studying for decades to perform a wah wah. But this is the score you know? still an honor.
I'm the world's luckiest SOB - I'm going to this concert when they do it again August 17th! Four years after this recording all the talented people do the success live again, and who doesn't dream of being there experiencing it??, it is actually becoming possible 17-20th of Aug. Perhaps the only time ever in this form.
For me this was my introduction to Ennio Morricone, who became my favorite film composer ever. His work can't be compared to anyone. There are others I love, but he's in a different dimension. This whole soundtrack was extraordinary. He wrote 3 soundtracks for Sergio Leone films starring Clint Eastwood, the Man with no Name films. My favorite is actually Fistful of Dollars. Try the suite from that one. Gorgeous.
Another film composer was quite good - he wrote: From Russia with Love (Title song music and lyrics by Lionel Bart) (1963) Goldfinger (lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse) (1964) Thunderball (lyrics by Don Black) (1965) You Only Live Twice (lyrics by Leslie Bricusse) (1967) On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) Diamonds Are Forever (lyrics by Don Black) (1971) The Man with the Golden Gun (lyrics by Don Black) (1974) Moonraker (lyrics by Hal David) (1979) Octopussy (lyrics by Tim Rice) (1983) A View to a Kill (music and lyrics by Duran Duran) (1985) The Living Daylights
The piece they play at the end is called “The Ecstasy of Gold”, if you see it in the context of the movie, it might be one of the best pieces of music in filmmaking, and is a true masterpiece of the art of movies (as is most of the last 30 minutes of that movie when it goes from “great movie” to “cinematic excellence”). Also: that’s been Metallicas “pre show” theme at their concerts for like 30 years now, and you feel every ounce of that song right before they take the stage, and it’s like “run headfirst through a brick wall” level of hype. Might want to look up one or two of their show intros to see what I mean.
Amber, the Oklahoma City Philharmonic has amazing performances throughout the year, including shows geared toward children. You should treat yourself to tickets sometime!
'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' was a Clint Eastwood film from the 60's (I still have the soundtrack album on LP vinyl). There was a series of these western movies all shot in Italy, hence the term 'Spaghetti Western'. The music was amazing! (Note the Danish Orchestra honoring the composer.) :) As to the body hanging, the movie opens with 'The Ugly' (Eli Wallach) being hung and his partner, 'The Good' (Clint Eastwood) on a ridge above the town with a rifle to part the rope by shooting it and have Wallach escape. They had been pulling a scam to collect the bounty and then escape this way to go on to the next town... rinse & repeat... DO FIND A WAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Great old western flic. :)
Actually, they were mostly shot in Spain - but were produced and made by Italians. I used to listen to my parents TGTBATU vinyl record over & over & over...
@@rabbitandcrow You're right. They were shot in Spain (should have recognized the terrain and arid landscape). I'd always assumed Italy with the moniker 'Spaghetti Western' and the Italian movie execs. :)
The musical score mimics the scenes in the movie, you hear the horses hooves, you sense the mood of the scene. This was brilliantly done. The cowboys are represented through the music also. A true Masterpiece!
E guarda che strano l' hanno fatto l' italiani regista e musicista. Dove il far West è lontanissimo, ma con la fantasia si può far tutto . E questi due di fantasia ne avevano a volontà
The Danish National Symphony is great. I grew up watching all the spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood. I absolutely love all the theme songs from them. I have the "Hugo Montenegro" version doing all the theme songs (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Hang 'Em High) on record & on cd. It is one of my favorite albums.
The late, great Ennio Morricone was one of the greatest film composers in cinema history. In addition to "spaghetti westerns" and assorted Italian films, he also scored other big films like Kill Bill, the Untouchables, and Once Upon a Time in America.
The lady who sang "wah wah", her name is tuva semmingson, a classically trained singer in her own right, she sings everything from opera to standards to pop. A diva of the 1st class. If you look closely, for this concert she was wearing little six shooter earrings. PERFECT!!! I watched an interview with the two vocalists.Tuva Semmingsen AKA the Wa Wa Lady, as she has been called by the tube, actually likes being called the Wa Wa Lady. She couldn't believe how this performance took off on the tube. Christine Nonbo Andersen is the solo vocalist in the audience. This was her first performance with the Danish National Orchestra. Both ladies nailed their performances and added a stunning element to this Ennio Morricone masterpiece. Ennio Morricone was a composer of film soundtracks, where he used instruments and objects that are not normally used in an orchestral ensemble. Electric guitars, basses, ocarinas, bongos ... but also whips, gunshots, gusts of wind. Entering Morricone's work is a complete immersion. A moving tribute for fidelity down to the smallest details is what the Spaghetti Werstern Orchestra did to him.
i'm glad your generation is enjoying this fantastic culture of yesteryear.... there is sooo much excellence that comes from wood, string, and brass instruments + the human voice. Learning, enjoying and appreciating such art gives #life much more #meaning if you look for it.
J, your excitement in anticipation for Amber to hear this, knowing what's coming, is how we all feel watching the two of you react to songs we've known and loved for - well forever! My smile was pasted on my face the entire time this video played. You bring much happiness to a lot a people. Take care.
The "story" of composer Morricone's particular "sound" is an interesting one. When he was hired by director Leone to score his "spaghetti" westerns, Morricone was pretty much an unknown composer, and his musical budget was so tiny, he couldn't afford to hire a real orchestra. So he was forced to hire inexpensive studio and street musicians; guitarists, harmonica players, whistlers, etc. Basically anyone he could find. Then Morricone wrote the music around what they could play, taking full advantage of their unique sounds (human whistling, twangy guitar, harmonicas, bells, etc.). The result was so amazing and unique, it made Morricone one of the greatest movie composers of all time, and pretty much defined his style even when he was given huge musical budgets and full orchestras later on in his life.
Sorry man but you are wrong, whistling was done by great Italian composer , musician and Moricone friend Alessandro Alesandroni!!! He helped him with all sounds. Also whetn he was composing for this movie he already was involved in two previous movies from dollar triology!!!
You really need to watch the movie “The Good , the Bad and the Ugly “ to tell the full context of this brilliant piece of epic music . Also one of if not the best ever westerns ever made ! 🤠
Trans-Siberian Orchestra was in OKC on the 8th of Dec. They perform here every year and if you can manage it in your schedule next year I strongly recommend going to see the show. It's amazing.
Also were here in San Antonio on the 10th. They move quick across the country, usually two shows per city, a city every night. They also use "East" and "West" casts, so they can cover twice the area in the same length of time. ;)
One of the coolest things I remember from being a kid was when my Dad took us to the Philharmonic where they played the classical and opera music to the Bugs Bunny cartoons while the cartoons were being shown on the screen. I have loved the Philharmonic ever since. The Danish National Symphony has also done the Star Wars music. That's a great video to watch.
BTW, the OKC Philharmonic is doing the music of "Star Wars: A New Hope" while playing the movie on April 8th and 9th. They did that here in Nashville and we really enjoyed it.
Dear both, Thank you! I stumbled over this piece and was stunned. What is so amazing: watching you 2 with different reactions to various passages. I just watch your eyes and expressions. Marvellous. Both of you are, it seems to me, extremely empathetic. Thank you for this! Music is an universal language, I think. Kind greetz from Switzerland - Chris
You have got to check out the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” for one of your Christmas specials . Jordan you’ll absolutely love it!
I bet OKC has it's own symphony and I bet they have several concerts a year. I also bet they do the Nutcracker, which you absolutely MUST take the girls to.
i just find it amazing that music has come so far and not only the ability of musicians and singers, but also song writing and composition....there are some wonderful things in the world and music is definitely one of them
“The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack is also one of the all time best. Composed by the late great Ennio Morricone. The main title song is iconic and so is “The Ecstasy of Gold” which is the song they transition to at the 6:00 minute mark. Basically it’s pure greatness. Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. You have to see it.
@@randykerchmar5296 A lot of people feel the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the best Western of all time. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you’re not right or wrong.
Someone may have already mentioned this, but this is actually two songs: The Good, the Band, and the Ugly to start, the The Ecstasy of Gold followed. The whole soundtrack is amazing, though. Glad you got to do this!
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of my absolute, all-time favorite Westerns. Throw Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach, and Ennio Moricone into the mix, and there's no way you can go wrong!
My brother did the same, with a trombone as well. I've heard him play a lot different styles and genres...Ever since 9th grade. He started playing in the 6th grade. He actually played "Joe's Garage" for my birthday, a few years ago. I had never heard it on a trigger trombone before, or any trombone for that matter.
Not sure if people realize how much goes into a single production like this in order to get it so close to the original. The matching between voices. The coordination between all the musicians and vocalists. There are a ton of performers there. As a vocalist that has performed in operas I can assure you this size of production takes effort and time to create. And blending of the appropriate musicians and vocals. The try outs must have been a nightmare to decide who and what would go together best. The hanging dead cowboy is simply a prop to set the mood.
I agree that the hanging body was a prop to set the mood in the symphony hall, but they took that from the hanging scenes that ran through The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
In the film it isn't a dead cowboy, it's a live bandit. It's Tuco waiting for Blondie to shoot the rope so they can split the reward money for his arrest.
@@wizardsuth You are correct about the movie. I was being vague so it wouldn't be spoiled for anyone who hadn't seen the movie. Obviously, the Danish National Symphony wasn't going to hang a real person.
The instrument you say looks like a genies lamp with holes is an Ocarina (i play one myself) this music never ever EVER stops getting old for me. Brings me to happy tears cause of how beautiful and epic this score is.
You should also check out "Live and Let Die" Paul McCartney with the London symphony.. for the old James Bond Movie.. Lisa Rainbow had some great choices as well.. Another great combination is Metallica with the San Francisco symphony amazing sound.. the "Genie Lamp" I believe is an ... Ocarina
Thanks for the shout-out! I forget to mention that they also cover all of the music from Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. Complete with the choir wearing elf ears...😁
Ennio Morricone was an amazing composer, I've listened to hours of his music and read up on him, and everyone should know about him. He did some of the music in movies, just him all by himself playing every instrument. It's wild when you think about it, how that cinematic music can do so much, you hear a snippet and you're transported to a spaceship, or a dusty canyon, or a far off dystopian future, or the middle ages, it's just magical.
You need to listen to "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield. Get the original release and listen to part one. It is like nothing you have ever heard before. Love the channel, keep it up!!
Just FYI, This concert conducted by Sarah Hicks included music from all three of the Spaghetti Westerns starring Clint Eastwood: "A Fist Full Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Whether or not you choose to react to them, if you enjoyed this one you most certainly would enjoy the other two! True artistry here!
Interesting tidbit. In these three “spaghetti westerns” Clint’s character has no name. He returned to this character in 1992’s “Unforgiven” which he also produced and directed. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
@@theschnauzers Not really! In the movie, "Unforgiven" Clint plays the part of a 'trying to go straight outlaw' named Will Money. Not at all the character portrayed as the bounty hunter with no name in the three Sergio Leones westerns filmed in Spain.
I was there. It was such a wonderful concert. However, you need to credit Hans Sørensen to be the person who made the program. He created so many filmmusic programs with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, before moving on to Singapore. He is the genius that made it happen. Thank you Hans.
The second part is actually called "The Ecstasy of Gold" and Metallica have used it for more than 30 years as the last bit of music before they hit the stage for their live concerts.
Hey Chaotic Old Bore! Sorry, I just commented the the same thing, but did not realize Metallica has been using it for 30 years. Way to make me feel old! 😝🤘
@@juniorjohnson9509 Hah! Thanks "Junior" I feel better now...but not much. I was 9! Great movie, too bad about Tuco, but at least we still have Blondie making some purty good movies movies.
Me again still can't stop watching this video, I'ts Sunday morning I'm relaxing over a mug of coffee watching Amber's face, she is totally mezmerized watching and listening to this video, you can see in her facial expressions, sometimes confused, but also so full of joy, so taken aback at what she is seeing and hearing, then she hits the nail on the head by saying, not only can you hear this beutiful pieace but you can see each musical instrument being played, and also the quier plus the individual solo singers making those amazing sounds, I'm with you Amber totally lost in the moment, and my coffee has gone cold.
I really appreciate how eclectic you two are and how well-rounded your admiration for music of all kinds is! You like what you like, just like anyone, but you are never judgmental and give each song the time and respect it deserves.
When I heard this soundtrack in the 60's, I thought that all the sounds were made by instruments. I've seen others react to this and realize that this is probably how that soundtrack was made, unbelievable!
Though they were derided by some critics, the "spaghetti westerns" directed by Sergio Leone have stood the test of time as masterpieces. Ennio Morricone's musical scores have a lot to do with that,
Love this song. As why there is a body hanging from the ceiling, according to a comment I saw in a Google search says the body references the good, the bad and the ugly. Classic western imagery
The weird flute instrument is called an Ocarina or "sweet potato flute". You watch to "Once Upon A Time in the West" also preformed by The Danish National Symphony.
I've been listening to the score from this movie for years, and it gets me every time. The second piece in the performance (The Ecstasy of Gold) absolutely gives me the chills when the trumpets and french horns come in. If you've got three free hours, check out the movie. The score helps make a shoot-em-up western feel more like an opera.
This is an amazing production and fanatic rendition, but my favorite part of this video is watching Jay share his discovery and love of this piece with Amber.
The second tune ... Ecstasy of Gold... is especially amazing in the movie as it plays while greedy, ruthless Tuco runs through a graveyard searching for buried treasure. It's a vast, barren desert graveyard with one living man desperate to find a fortune among the crosses and dried bones... and the woman's voice is like an announcement of the tragic drama playing out under the sun. It's really something to watch.

You’re so correct about becoming an Opera singer. I started singing opera at age 14 and asked my teacher when I would be done with training. She said you won’t hit your prime until at least your mid 30s and some pieces of music weren’t perfected by singers until over 20-30 years!
I’m sure others have mentioned it, but anytime I wonder “what IS that instrument” nine times out of ten it is an oboe, an english horn, or a bassoon. Double-reed instruments are crazy, and the people that play them are superheroes. (However, I think this piece opens with an ocarina.)
And yes, I have seen this movie about 50 times. Every time someone plays this, I can picture the scene of the movie it is in and it plays right along in my mind with the music.
It's only when you sit down and REALLY listen to this that you realise just what a superb orchestral piece this is. A big "well done" to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra for an excellent rendition of Ennio Morricone's classic western theme music. Oh, the hanging body could be a reference to the part in the movie where Clint Eastwood (the "Good") shoots and severs the rope that is hanging Eli Wallach (the "Bad")
Who else think they should listen to the Once Upon A Time In the West sountrack? I remember listening to the album in a loop (on vinyl, one side at à time, of course). I remember falling asleep to the sound of the "finale". Perfection. RIP maestro Ennio Morricone. He might have passed, but the music lives on.
I heard a piece from that this morning, and think that soundtrack is probably some of the best, most powerful music ever put to paper. I can't agree more!!'
Just watched this movie the other night. "The Good"-Clint Eastwood, "The Bad"-Lee Van Cleef, "The Ugly"-Eli Wallach. I have great memories of watching the Spaghetti Westerns genre with my Dad, he loved 'em!! They were very uniquely filmed by Sergio Leone. Y'all need to watch this movie, "A Fistful of Dollars", and "A Few Dollars More". Classics!!!
The movie is EPIC!! Clint at his best. The pinnacle of the "Spaghetti Western" genre. The story is great. The acting superb. Three guys bent on the same goal. Strap yourselves in for a hell of a ride!
I was 6 when this came out and you couldn’t beat Clint and Lee Van Cleef
One of my favorite Eastwood films
J if want to know why there is a man hanging from a noose. You will have to watch the movie . Maybe in your reaction channel?
Great movie. Also love high planes drifter, Josie Wales, and unforgiven...
@@loklie3226 As well as Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, never mind his Dirty Harry movies!
Ennio morricone deserved a Oscar for his score for the good the bad and the ugly, A truly unappreciated composer
Oh yeah, no doubt. The best music for a western movie ever made.
Unappreciated!!!??? Just because he didn't get that stupid statue for this (wasn't even nominated), really? You better get to know his accomplishments a little better.
@@mrspank35I would argue best music made for any movie period 😂
You like this? Listen to the theme from "Once Upon A Time In The West." Both are incredible.
Also for ONCE APOND A TIME IN AMERICA, AND WHICH THE EDITORS DESTROYED THE MOVIE .
Ennio Moricone is a composer who reaches a person in the soul.
I once owned a 2 disc cd set of Ennio Moricone' s epic film scores. Many fabulous Sunday afternoons live in my memory set to those cds.

The body is in reference to the movie “Th Good, The bad, and the Ugly”. In the film, two people run a scam where they turn in a bad guy to be hung, and the other guy rescues him before it happens - there is more, but that is basically it
Spoiler. Just tell them to watch the movie.
@@bashirijones7008 question asked/question answered
Have a nice day
Alert⚠️Spoiler😒 Are you going to spoil alert all the movies they react to?
The whole night was called a night of Clint Eastwood's movie theme, the person hanging is for hanging high, The Good the bad and the ugly represented by the tombstone. High plain drifter is a silhouette on the back of Clint Eastwood.
To bad we don't hang anymore😂
RE: Body hanging from the rafters, the Danish National Symphony is a well disciplined and tight out-fit, it's actually the former first violinist, whom was unfortunately 5 minutes late for rehearsal. You have to draw the line somewhere.
Lmao! P.S. You get my first award for 2022. Best comment so far! Made me laugh so much.
Good one, i shall not laugh as i am the most late human ever walked the (flat ofcourse) earth...
and i bloody tell you that youtube did NOT make it better... lol but godammit
Hilarious!
I was actually going to comment something very similar. You beat me to it!
😂🤣
As a Dane I'm - very, very proud of how much attention, really much, my local Symphony Orchestra is getting here on TH-cam from this fine Concert. But the members are really high class musicians, so they do deserve it! 😁
Yes. Outstanding musicianship! Watch this several dozens of times and you'll see and hear many new things in the video. And do a search for Ennio Morricone and Susanna Rigacci to hear and see how the maestro handled his own composition with his favorite soprano.
And the Production of this Concert is also World Class!
yeah. I love them also. Gaming in Simphony, Galaxymphony 1 and 2, Agents are forever, Fantasymphony are all great performances. Still waiting for them to do a war film music concert.
As an italian I'm very proud of how they managed to recreate the scores, in their original sounding (sorry, I'm not a musician lol) with a new twist but a lot of respect for Morricone.
As a Swede I have to admit that it's a very well deserved attention your local symphony orchestra is getting. When I had heard this particular track on TH-cam I had to buy the entire DVD - many great renditions on it.
Eli Wallach's portrayal of Tuco is one of the greatest performances ever.
He steals every scene he is in
Yes!
A man who double crosses Tuco and leaves him alive, knows nothing about Tuco my friend. Nothing.
Tuco:
If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk about it.
Watching another podcast and someone said conductor had full score bur orchestra had only their parts. Phenomenal
Ennio Morricone wrote the music , Sergio Leone directed the film . We italians are very proud of both , because challenging the americans on western films was not an easy task - Whether you hate or love western films , you MUST see it - The music , I have heard it a thousand times , and every time I enjoy listening to it again - I am glad you liked and appreciated it - ciao , grazie per il tuo video !
... it was filmed in Spain and produced by Germans. I Love Spaghetti Western too.
totally agree with you, mi piacciono molto i western Italiani, sono fantastici
@@usertrash2304 And distributed by the French!
@@usertrash2304 filmed in the surrounding areas of Almeria, in extreme SE Spain - a truly desolate area.. the only true desert in Europe proper. As someone from Utah who has lived in that sort of environment, It always amazes me how they reprodced the territroy of Utah/Nevada are.. Not Arizona or there would have been the famous Saguaro cacti,
as an american who watched the westerns, I love how Leone totally de-constructs the prescriptivist and moralist genre that we had to watch growing up. The good vs. evil binary that permeates so many of the Ford and Huston and other westerns is totally flipped by the much more realistic representation of Leone's films. The Dollars Trilogy in particular highlights the idea that there are no allies, only common interests...ultimately, most people are out for themselves and they'll hook up with anyone who can help them advance and gain. We in the US need to know this, but it is lost on so many. The other current running through especially the Good the Bad and the Ugly is the futility and tragedy of war. I think once Leone said "war is stupid" (not sure tho) but certainly this is exemplified in the movie. Note especially the scene near the bridge, and the words of the captain.
The person who deserves a thank you is the conductor -- she is fabulous!!!
The most intense 5 minutes in cinema history is the showdown between Blondie , Tuco , and Angel Eyes. The cinematography and score of the movie is absolute perfection. So miss movies shot in wide shot , especially western type movies.
“Two can dig faster than one…”
I love Once Upon a Time too They're both a 10 from me. I'll take The Good The Bad And The Ugly as the better film for me personally. One reason is Eastwood just has wayyy more screen presence than Bronson. Just has way more natural charisma and cool factor. Fonda was a fantastic villain , but to me the most compelling character by far is Jeremy Robards. The only thing I really don't like about once upon a time is the first 10 minutes of the movie. For some reason I've always found that scene a bit on the cheesy side. As far as final showdown I still go TGTBATU. Again both epic but just a personal choice. Can't go wrong with either movie , they're both epic 1A and 1B.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has the better one liners… “Two kinds of people in the world, those with loaded guns, and those who dig… you dig…”
And my personal favorite: “When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk…”
Yep I've quoted the Tuco line so many times when watching movies where the bad guy starts going into a monologue lol.
I think Jason Robards has the most compelling character in Once Upon a Time. His scenes with Cardinalle are really fantastic.
If you haven't seen the movie,it is a MUST!
The Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastman changed how Westerns were made forever.
Yeah, and Clint Eastwood too!. :) Brilliant trilogy.
@@Veyron1967 My retired Hollywood writer/director friend hates the spaghetti westerns! Something is wrong with that man! :)
@@juniorjohnson9509 He's probably just jealous. ;)
The finest westerns EVER made!!
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... such a GREAT movie. The cemetery scene alone is probably some of the best cinema ever recorded to film. The score that plays during that scene is iconic, too. Enjoy your first time watching :)
th-cam.com/video/A7F6eXuj1BE/w-d-xo.html
All three films in the trilogy are masterpieces of western cinema and the music is magnificent!! Only the "Magnificent Seven" is equal to them.
@@stevenklein3195 "Magnificent", is taken/stolen from a very long film by Japanese: Akira Kurosawa. Do try to find this Film: "The Seven Samurais"! It is considered one of the finest Films ever made, in Black and White, and for a good reason! The final fight in heavy rain is exceptional!!
The track is called Ecstasy of Gold as Tuco runs around Sad Hill Cemetery.
Eli Wallach's portrayal of Tuco is one of the best performance on film I've seen, this movie is the G.O.A.T of the Wild West genre.
And Lee van Cleef as angel eyes, so villainous
He never spoke to Sergio again. Until the premiere he didn't know he was titled 'the ugly' 😅
One of the great performances of the 20th century.
Eli Wallach was 100% under rated actor of his time!!
"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
Ennio Morricone (RIP) wrote all the music for those Clint Eastwood "spaghetti" westerns. Fist Full of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, Good, Bad and Ugly. Incredible scores!
Hang 'em High. Another great. movie
Those Sergio Leone films
Ennio Morricone also wrote the soundtrack for "Two Mules For Sister Sara", another western film starring Clint Eastwood, which was not filmed in Italy but Mexico
and The Mission. Look up Chloe Agnew's version of "Gabriel's Oboe."
ENNIO THE GENIUS
The final scene in the cemetery is so iconic. The best part of the film. The score is absolutely superb.
Listening to a full orchestra live should be on everybody's bucket list. Even if you don't know a thing about music, it's an experience not to be missed!
The only orchestra I've listened to in a concert style is my oldest son's school orchestra.....but they were good 😁
I agree. My first experience was in elementary school. A trip to the Philadelphia Academy of Music to hear Peter and the Wolf performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. When the violins played I was crying tears of joy & pleasure. It was so beautiful, I had never been so moved by anything so good & beautiful before.
I heard one at the local college and they did Star Wars music - the way the sound fill up your ears therein is totally different than other forms of music-listening.
I have been to Ennio Morriocone's concerts twice. The experience was mindblowing!
@Zen....star wars would've been so cool to hear. I do have to say my son's group did Lord of the Rings and it was very good.
Stunning best western theme ever👍
Best Western Ever
Ecstasy of gold is the greatest film music ever written. Haunting and epic. Masterpiece.
Let me tell you: As a music teacher and an orchestral violinist for over 50 years, your children are SO FORTUNATE to have you as parents. I love how open-minded you are to all kinds of music! Take them to an orchestra concert; encourage them to study an instrument! Learning an instrument can be frustrating and difficult at times, but the end result is a huge reward!!!
Having studied music and instruments since I was 10, this statement is so true 💓
Download the movie, classic western. There are alot of Clint Eastwood movies that good guy / bad guy themes.
I was lucky enough growing up to be able to go and see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra on field trips in elementary school. It cost us a whole $1 to go by bus downtown to see them at least once a year. And everyone in the class would go, so we all got to see it. A few years later I was chosen to be a part of the city freshman choir and sing with the DSO. Such a thrill
Check out The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and their version of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Wonderful and witty too.
As Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young famously wrote/sang, Teach Your Children (well). I think the Robinson kids are really lucky in their choice of parents.
Life’s so crazy. When you think about this barmy Italian guy who wants to make Westerns without setting foot in America, manages to convince Clint Eastwood to come over and star in them, and finds an unknown composer to make timeless music to soundtrack them. Then 50 years later an orchestra in Denmark blows up the web playing those songs. Just nuts.
Truly fantastic….yes
Not only that, he changes the entire genre of the western. The John Ford type western was replaced.
Actually Ennio Morricone was a well-known Italian, Classical Composer, who became asked by Sergio Leone to make the score, and without actually seeing the films, to my knowledge? And his music for films became legendary!
Segio LEONE = the talent
Ennio MORICONNE = the genius
Clint = the flair, the intelligence to say yes
The piece called "the ecstasy of gold" at the end, where the ugly runs between the graves in the cemetery of "SAD HILL" is magnificent. Thank you Maestro Morricone
Sand hill
@@pauledrington Absolutely Sad Hill
The genie lamp with holes in it is actually called in ocarina. It's a woodwind that makes a very hollow sound because of the large cavity in it. Sometimes made of wood, more often porcelain. It very much fits the "spaghetti western" genre, because the origin of the instrument is Italian and the western movies of this specialty were made by Italian moviemakers.
Great info, thanks.
The solo on Wild Thing by the Troggs is on an ocarina.
😆 It's one of the few instrument names I know - my music teacher at secondary school took great pleasure in telling me. And always used to spell my name with a 'C'.
An ocarina is also used by Link in the “Legend of Zelda” game
Ocarina is a very ancient musical instrument, is found in Prehispanic America, but also in old China or Mid West. It can be made of wood, but also bones, bark, and more usually pottery. I had a beautiful pottery one I bought in a shop with peruvian things; it brokes when I moved.
The "Wah-Wah" girl is Tuva Semingsen, one of the world's best opera singers. Multi-talented!
Mezzo Soprano World Top 3
Helga natt, Jussi Björling, talk of voice control.
I kind of laugh when I first saw her doing this wah wah, imagine studying for decades to perform a wah wah. But this is the score you know? still an honor.
When I heard the waa-waa in the movie I thought it was a musical instrument.
And a great whistler!
I'm the world's luckiest SOB - I'm going to this concert when they do it again August 17th!
Four years after this recording all the talented people do the success live again, and who doesn't dream of being there experiencing it??, it is actually becoming possible 17-20th of Aug. Perhaps the only time ever in this form.
For me this was my introduction to Ennio Morricone, who became my favorite film composer ever. His work can't be compared to anyone. There are others I love, but he's in a different dimension. This whole soundtrack was extraordinary. He wrote 3 soundtracks for Sergio Leone films starring Clint Eastwood, the Man with no Name films. My favorite is actually Fistful of Dollars. Try the suite from that one. Gorgeous.
Morricone, Williams, and Poledouris are the Holy Trinity of 20th Century composing in my opinion.
RIP Il Maestro
Another film composer was quite good - he wrote:
From Russia with Love (Title song music and lyrics by Lionel Bart) (1963)
Goldfinger (lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse) (1964)
Thunderball (lyrics by Don Black) (1965)
You Only Live Twice (lyrics by Leslie Bricusse) (1967)

The Living Daylights
Once upon a time in america.
@@bbb462cid Maybe you mean Morricone, Herrmann and Goldsmith
The piece they play at the end is called “The Ecstasy of Gold”, if you see it in the context of the movie, it might be one of the best pieces of music in filmmaking, and is a true masterpiece of the art of movies (as is most of the last 30 minutes of that movie when it goes from “great movie” to “cinematic excellence”).
Also: that’s been Metallicas “pre show” theme at their concerts for like 30 years now, and you feel every ounce of that song right before they take the stage, and it’s like “run headfirst through a brick wall” level of hype. Might want to look up one or two of their show intros to see what I mean.
True and the reason Metallica have "The ecstasy of Gold" as part of the pre show is James Hetfeld is a big fan of the Western genre.
Hear Hear !
Agree. It is so distinctive. Unforgettable.
The Ramones used this as their walkout song as well.
The version done for the S&M show is easily the pinnacle of Metallica's performances.
The entire song is a masterpiece! All these never seen before instruments and sound makers, WOW!
When I was a teen, I was asleep on the living room couch. My brother put a speaker up next to my head and played this full blast. I let him live.
🤣🤣🤣
Amber, the Oklahoma City Philharmonic has amazing performances throughout the year, including shows geared toward children. You should treat yourself to tickets sometime!
Undoubtly one of the best Western movies and this song/music raises it to another astronomical level.
Look at how focused Amber is in amazement.
'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' was a Clint Eastwood film from the 60's (I still have the soundtrack album on LP vinyl). There was a series of these western movies all shot in Italy, hence the term 'Spaghetti Western'. The music was amazing! (Note the Danish Orchestra honoring the composer.) :) As to the body hanging, the movie opens with 'The Ugly' (Eli Wallach) being hung and his partner, 'The Good' (Clint Eastwood) on a ridge above the town with a rifle to part the rope by shooting it and have Wallach escape. They had been pulling a scam to collect the bounty and then escape this way to go on to the next town... rinse & repeat... DO FIND A WAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Great old western flic. :)
Actually, they were mostly shot in Spain - but were produced and made by Italians. I used to listen to my parents TGTBATU vinyl record over & over & over...
@@rabbitandcrow You're right. They were shot in Spain (should have recognized the terrain and arid landscape). I'd always assumed Italy with the moniker 'Spaghetti Western' and the Italian movie execs. :)
Actually, the body is the previous conductor; his contract was up and he didn't run fast enough. Vikings are harsh.
Not a Clint Eastwood film and not shot in Italy. The movie was mostly shot in Spain and directed and written by Sergio Leone.
It was a great movie. Thank you for sharing.
The musical score mimics the scenes in the movie, you hear the horses hooves, you sense the mood of the scene. This was brilliantly done. The cowboys are represented through the music also. A true Masterpiece!
Look at Ambers reaction @2:58 never seen her focused/concentrated like this. One of the best western movies of all times
E guarda che strano l' hanno fatto l' italiani regista e musicista. Dove il far West è lontanissimo, ma con la fantasia si può far tutto . E questi due di fantasia ne avevano a volontà
The Danish National Symphony is great. I grew up watching all the spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood. I absolutely love all the theme songs from them. I have the "Hugo Montenegro" version doing all the theme songs (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Hang 'Em High) on record & on cd. It is one of my favorite albums.
Also "Il Mercenario" and "Death Rides a Horse" used more recently in Kill Bill, as many Ennio Morricone compositions were.
The late, great Ennio Morricone was one of the greatest film composers in cinema history. In addition to "spaghetti westerns" and assorted Italian films, he also scored other big films like Kill Bill, the Untouchables, and Once Upon a Time in America.
Don’t forget he finally was recognized with an Oscar for “The Hateful Eight” in 2016.
and The Mission and Cinema Paradiso
@@alisonstevens2712 The Mission... I heard the disk once, and got my own copy. It's so worth listening to every once in a while.
I lurrrrrve the soundtrack to The Mission and The Untouchables. Amazing work. Gorgeous music that perfectly went with the films.
@@sloebone7399 he should have gotten many more but you americans unless its american you dont win.
The lady who sang "wah wah", her name is tuva semmingson, a classically trained singer in her own right, she sings everything from opera to standards to pop. A diva of the 1st class. If you look closely, for this concert she was wearing little six shooter earrings. PERFECT!!!
I watched an interview with the two vocalists.Tuva Semmingsen AKA the Wa Wa Lady, as she has been called by the tube, actually likes being called the Wa Wa Lady. She couldn't believe how this performance took off on the tube. Christine Nonbo Andersen is the solo vocalist in the audience. This was her first performance with the Danish National Orchestra. Both ladies nailed their performances and added a stunning element to this Ennio Morricone masterpiece.
Ennio Morricone was a composer of film soundtracks, where he used instruments and objects that are not normally used in an orchestral ensemble. Electric guitars, basses, ocarinas, bongos ... but also whips, gunshots, gusts of wind. Entering Morricone's work is a complete immersion.
A moving tribute for fidelity down to the smallest details is what the Spaghetti Werstern Orchestra did to him.
I love how the vocals aren't really singing lyrics but are just purely used as instruments for this musical masterpiece.
The chills I get as soon as the piano comes in for “The Ecstasy of Gold”. It’s such a beautiful piece of music.
Gives me chills every time
The soprano from 'Once upon a time in the west' by Ennio Morricone is very similar and so beautiful, check it out on TH-cam.
I love that part!🥰
Makes me think of every Metallica concert i've went to, cause the always start them with that tune.
best movie theme ever made.
i'm glad your generation is enjoying this fantastic culture of yesteryear.... there is sooo much excellence that comes from wood, string, and brass instruments + the human voice. Learning, enjoying and appreciating such art gives #life much more #meaning if you look for it.
J, your excitement in anticipation for Amber to hear this, knowing what's coming, is how we all feel watching the two of you react to songs we've known and loved for - well forever!
My smile was pasted on my face the entire time this video played. You bring much happiness to a lot a people. Take care.
You’re right. It shows a first reaction and a second reaction after it became a part of the soul. It’s fantastic.
"Blondie!" Such a great movie to see and great reaction guys!
"angle eyes"
Music and emotions! RIP Ennio Morricone.
Check out their renditions of the Star Wars, and Star Trek themes.
Also, they do an amazing cover of the original Pink Panther theme...
Have you seen/heard the Star Trek theme sung by a Spanish opera singer? Total spot on.
I love seeing Rob... a rapper expand his love of music in the way he has over the past year! It trills my heart! Keep it up Brother!
The simplicity and restraint in each individual sound togather creates such a lushous landscape! Mind blowing!
The "story" of composer Morricone's particular "sound" is an interesting one. When he was hired by director Leone to score his "spaghetti" westerns, Morricone was pretty much an unknown composer, and his musical budget was so tiny, he couldn't afford to hire a real orchestra. So he was forced to hire inexpensive studio and street musicians; guitarists, harmonica players, whistlers, etc. Basically anyone he could find. Then Morricone wrote the music around what they could play, taking full advantage of their unique sounds (human whistling, twangy guitar, harmonicas, bells, etc.). The result was so amazing and unique, it made Morricone one of the greatest movie composers of all time, and pretty much defined his style even when he was given huge musical budgets and full orchestras later on in his life.
Gotta second that one, wow I never knew that.
What a friggin genius.
Sorry man but you are wrong, whistling was done by great Italian composer , musician and Moricone friend Alessandro Alesandroni!!! He helped him with all sounds. Also whetn he was composing for this movie he already was involved in two previous movies from dollar triology!!!
Alesandro Alesandroni: th-cam.com/video/Q5VtS8KBDN8/w-d-xo.html
@@goranvukovic1991 Yeah Pointy is way off with his supposed facts.
You really need to watch the movie “The Good , the Bad and the Ugly “ to tell the full context of this brilliant piece of epic music . Also one of if not the best ever westerns ever made ! 🤠
The Best!
And get an answer to why there's a body hanging from the rafters.
The Best Western ever filmed, folloewd closely by a fistful and a few dollars more
It's a looooong movie. Sergio Leone likes to take it slow.
i watched it at least 5 times and your right it is epic music addicting.
That's music 🎶 🎵 NOTHING FAKE of today.. LIVE
Trans-Siberian Orchestra was in OKC on the 8th of Dec. They perform here every year and if you can manage it in your schedule next year I strongly recommend going to see the show. It's amazing.
Also were here in San Antonio on the 10th. They move quick across the country, usually two shows per city, a city every night. They also use "East" and "West" casts, so they can cover twice the area in the same length of time. ;)
My mom’s favorite Xmas album.
This is classic Western music! Truly The Best of the Best. I am glad that both you guys got a chance to hear it.
one of the absolute best spaghettis western there ever was!. oh this is the music review, hell I thought it was the movie!.
Ennio Morricone, the composer of this beautiful piece, was a genius.
One of the coolest things I remember from being a kid was when my Dad took us to the Philharmonic where they played the classical and opera music to the Bugs Bunny cartoons while the cartoons were being shown on the screen. I have loved the Philharmonic ever since.
The Danish National Symphony has also done the Star Wars music. That's a great video to watch.
BTW, the OKC Philharmonic is doing the music of "Star Wars: A New Hope" while playing the movie on April 8th and 9th. They did that here in Nashville and we really enjoyed it.
Dear both, Thank you! I stumbled over this piece and was stunned.
What is so amazing: watching you 2 with different reactions to various passages. I just watch your eyes and expressions. Marvellous.
Both of you are, it seems to me, extremely empathetic.
Thank you for this! Music is an universal language, I think.
Kind greetz from Switzerland - Chris
You have got to check out the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” for one of your Christmas specials . Jordan you’ll absolutely love it!
Christmas Dreams and Wizards in Winter are two great non-traditional christmas songs
Also Wizards in Winter. They played, here on Long Island, last night.
Yesss they are so good ✌❣
Another of my favorites. Any of their music is great, the light show is awesome.
absolutely! Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 is one of the best songs ever.
I bet OKC has it's own symphony and I bet they have several concerts a year. I also bet they do the Nutcracker, which you absolutely MUST take the girls to.
Oklahoma City Philharmonic . Most operas and Philharmonic orchestra s have introduction programs.
Likewise the universities have orchestras, and regular performances.
Never heard them personally, but the Oklahoma City Philharmonic has an excellent reputation.
i just find it amazing that music has come so far and not only the ability of musicians and singers, but also song writing and composition....there are some wonderful things in the world and music is definitely one of them
I haven’t ever heard the full song before thank you and Amber looks like she is in a trance listening to this.
This is 2 songs, the main theme and the second that starts with the piano is Ecstasy of Gold.
It's not a song.
@@bonsai67 if they're not songs then what are they? Songs don't need words to be songs.
@@mikec3853 Maybe not in your part of the world. The clue is the word "song" as in "singing". This, my friend, is a musical composition.
@@bonsai67 so since both of these have singing or vocalizations they are technically songs then
“The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack is also one of the all time best. Composed by the late great Ennio Morricone. The main title song is iconic and so is “The Ecstasy of Gold” which is the song they transition to at the 6:00 minute mark.
Basically it’s pure greatness. Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. You have to see it.
Yes in 1966 i saw it as a kid when it 1st came out over the years dozens of times ..GREATEST MOVIE EVER..Lee Van Cleef should have won a Oscar
The great Ennio. I love the theme from "Once Upon a Time in the West" as well. Genius.
@@mycolortv1 It is a really good movie. But "GREATEST MOVIE EVER"? - it's not even Clint's best western.
@@randykerchmar5296 A lot of people feel the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the best Western of all time. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you’re not right or wrong.
Someone may have already mentioned this, but this is actually two songs: The Good, the Band, and the Ugly to start, the The Ecstasy of Gold followed. The whole soundtrack is amazing, though. Glad you got to do this!
Composer Ennio Morricone + Danish Symphony Orchestra = Goosebumps
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one of my absolute, all-time favorite Westerns. Throw Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach, and Ennio Moricone into the mix, and there's no way you can go wrong!
To see them actually perform this song REALLY puts it in perspective!! 😮 AMAZING!
My son went to college on a music scholarship playing the trombone, I was amazed how euphoric symphony music is.
My brother did the same, with a trombone as well. I've heard him play a lot different styles and genres...Ever since 9th grade. He started playing in the 6th grade.
He actually played "Joe's Garage" for my birthday, a few years ago. I had never heard it on a trigger trombone before, or any trombone for that matter.
Not sure if people realize how much goes into a single production like this in order to get it so close to the original. The matching between voices. The coordination between all the musicians and vocalists. There are a ton of performers there. As a vocalist that has performed in operas I can assure you this size of production takes effort and time to create. And blending of the appropriate musicians and vocals. The try outs must have been a nightmare to decide who and what would go together best.
The hanging dead cowboy is simply a prop to set the mood.
I agree that the hanging body was a prop to set the mood in the symphony hall, but they took that from the hanging scenes that ran through The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
In the film it isn't a dead cowboy, it's a live bandit. It's Tuco waiting for Blondie to shoot the rope so they can split the reward money for his arrest.
@@wizardsuth You are correct about the movie. I was being vague so it wouldn't be spoiled for anyone who hadn't seen the movie. Obviously, the Danish National Symphony wasn't going to hang a real person.
The instrument you say looks like a genies lamp with holes is an Ocarina (i play one myself) this music never ever EVER stops getting old for me. Brings me to happy tears cause of how beautiful and epic this score is.
You should also check out "Live and Let Die" Paul McCartney with the London symphony.. for the old James Bond Movie.. Lisa Rainbow had some great choices as well.. Another great combination is Metallica with the San Francisco symphony amazing sound.. the "Genie Lamp" I believe is an ... Ocarina
You'll appreciate this even more once you see the movie.
Thanks for the shout-out!
I forget to mention that they also cover all of the music from Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit.
Complete with the choir wearing elf ears...😁
Ennio Morricone was an amazing composer, I've listened to hours of his music and read up on him, and everyone should know about him. He did some of the music in movies, just him all by himself playing every instrument. It's wild when you think about it, how that cinematic music can do so much, you hear a snippet and you're transported to a spaceship, or a dusty canyon, or a far off dystopian future, or the middle ages, it's just magical.
You need to listen to "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield. Get the original release and listen to part one. It is like nothing you have ever heard before.
Love the channel, keep it up!!
Mike Oldfield is AWESOME!
Yes Mike oldfield played all the instruments himself on tubular bells.
Grand piano...
Maybe Tubular bells 2? More 80s feel, might know from The Exorcist, and the announcer (Alan Rickman) is the bad guy from Die Hard!
@@davelister2961 For sure Tubular Bells 2 is a great piece of work but I feel TB 1 is so iconic and it was was used in "The Exorcist" from the 70's.
Just FYI, This concert conducted by Sarah Hicks included music from all three of the Spaghetti Westerns starring Clint Eastwood: "A Fist Full Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Whether or not you choose to react to them, if you enjoyed this one you most certainly would enjoy the other two!
True artistry here!
Interesting tidbit. In these three “spaghetti westerns” Clint’s character has no name. He returned to this character in 1992’s “Unforgiven” which he also produced and directed. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
@@theschnauzers Not really! In the movie, "Unforgiven" Clint plays the part of a 'trying to go straight outlaw' named Will Money. Not at all the character portrayed as the bounty hunter with no name in the three Sergio Leones westerns filmed in Spain.
I was there. It was such a wonderful concert. However, you need to credit Hans Sørensen to be the person who made the program. He created so many filmmusic programs with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, before moving on to Singapore.
He is the genius that made it happen. Thank you Hans.
The second part is actually called "The Ecstasy of Gold" and Metallica have used it for more than 30 years as the last bit of music before they hit the stage for their live concerts.
Hey Chaotic Old Bore! Sorry, I just commented the the same thing, but did not realize Metallica has been using it for 30 years. Way to make me feel old! 😝🤘
@@dirtylatte Hell, I was 10 when this movie came out!
@@juniorjohnson9509 Hah! Thanks "Junior" I feel better now...but not much. I was 9! Great movie, too bad about Tuco, but at least we still have Blondie making some purty good movies movies.
Ennio Morricone is a legend. His compositions shaped the soundtracks to westerns for generations.
Me again still can't stop watching this video, I'ts Sunday morning I'm relaxing over a mug of coffee watching Amber's face, she is totally mezmerized watching and listening to this video, you can see in her facial expressions, sometimes confused, but also so full of joy, so taken aback at what she is seeing and hearing, then she hits the nail on the head by saying, not only can you hear this beutiful pieace but you can see each musical instrument being played, and also the quier plus the individual solo singers making those amazing sounds, I'm with you Amber totally lost in the moment, and my coffee has gone cold.
I really appreciate how eclectic you two are and how well-rounded your admiration for music of all kinds is! You like what you like, just like anyone, but you are never judgmental and give each song the time and respect it deserves.
When I heard this soundtrack in the 60's, I thought that all the sounds were made by instruments. I've seen others react to this and realize that this is probably how that soundtrack was made, unbelievable!
The movie and the music were phenomenal! Crazy talent. One of the greatest scenes ever and there was no talking. Just body language and this music.
Though they were derided by some critics, the "spaghetti westerns" directed by Sergio Leone have stood the test of time as masterpieces. Ennio Morricone's musical scores have a lot to do with that,
I guess the 'experts' really missed the boat on the Man With No Name trilogy.
Love this song. As why there is a body hanging from the ceiling, according to a comment I saw in a Google search says the body references the good, the bad and the ugly. Classic western imagery
As I understand, the "body" is that of the previous conductor who left the symphony.
... and here I thought it might be referring to "Hang 'Em High".
It’s amazing that another human being can make that amazing sound with her voice.
The weird flute instrument is called an Ocarina or "sweet potato flute". You watch to "Once Upon A Time in the West" also preformed by The Danish National Symphony.
In Finnish it’s also known as kukkopilli (=rooster whistle)🤔👌
One of the greatest films ever made. Seen it at least 100 times. Never gets old. Would love to see y’all react to it.
Morricone was my Dad's favourite composer. When I hear 'Ecstasy of Gold' it always makes me cry. And I'm a 50 year old bloke.
Watching the combination of talents - instruments, voices - that brings this classic piece to life is just _so fabulous._
I've been listening to the score from this movie for years, and it gets me every time. The second piece in the performance (The Ecstasy of Gold) absolutely gives me the chills when the trumpets and french horns come in.
If you've got three free hours, check out the movie. The score helps make a shoot-em-up western feel more like an opera.
This is an amazing production and fanatic rendition, but my favorite part of this video is watching Jay share his discovery and love of this piece with Amber.
The second tune ... Ecstasy of Gold... is especially amazing in the movie as it plays while greedy, ruthless Tuco runs through a graveyard searching for buried treasure. It's a vast, barren desert graveyard with one living man desperate to find a fortune among the crosses and dried bones... and the woman's voice is like an announcement of the tragic drama playing out under the sun. It's really something to watch.
Ecstasy of Gold is also intro @ all Metallica shows.

Other nice Metallica intro (better quality)

It is probably my favorite single track from any score ever.
That scene and music is just a cinematic tour de force...
I love this and remember that movie but I always think of "The Sand Lot" when Bennie goes in to get the ball from the dog. Always makes me smile
She needs to see the movie.
The scene where this music is played is just as stunning visually. Some truly great cinematography. Sergio Leonne was a genius.
Also, The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain does an amazing version of The Good The Bad, and The Ugly, well worth reacting to....
YES! Any of Ukelele UK's covers are fantastic and very worth watching!
The body hanging from the rafters is probably a reference to one of Eastwood's other movies by the same director--"Hang 'em High".

I second Kool and The Gang....Celebration or Fresh. Both are great! I bet they must have heard at least Celebration but you never know.
@@bkm2797 That was my first thought!
@@Governor1993 I believe Amber mentioned K&TG during a reaction once, so, I think she's heard them.
@@billwieland8497 ah okay thanks
my Dad introduced me to these "Spaghetti Westerns" when I was a kid in the late 70's, what a trilogy of movies. Well worth the watch!!
You’re so correct about becoming an Opera singer. I started singing opera at age 14 and asked my teacher when I would be done with training. She said you won’t hit your prime until at least your mid 30s and some pieces of music weren’t perfected by singers until over 20-30 years!
I’m sure others have mentioned it, but anytime I wonder “what IS that instrument” nine times out of ten it is an oboe, an english horn, or a bassoon. Double-reed instruments are crazy, and the people that play them are superheroes.
(However, I think this piece opens with an ocarina.)
you are correct sir
It opens with a recorder. The ocarina comes in a little later.
And yes, I have seen this movie about 50 times. Every time someone plays this, I can picture the scene of the movie it is in and it plays right along in my mind with the music.
It's only when you sit down and REALLY listen to this that you realise just what a superb orchestral piece this is. A big "well done" to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra for an excellent rendition of Ennio Morricone's classic western theme music. Oh, the hanging body could be a reference to the part in the movie where Clint Eastwood (the "Good") shoots and severs the rope that is hanging Eli Wallach (the "Bad")
Who else think they should listen to the Once Upon A Time In the West sountrack? I remember listening to the album in a loop (on vinyl, one side at à time, of course). I remember falling asleep to the sound of the "finale". Perfection. RIP maestro Ennio Morricone. He might have passed, but the music lives on.
I heard a piece from that this morning, and think that soundtrack is probably some of the best, most powerful music ever put to paper. I can't agree more!!'
I was also going to recommend that they listen to Once Upon A Time In the West! Quite possibly my favorite western
The soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite. TGTBTU probably second.
Just watched this movie the other night. "The Good"-Clint Eastwood, "The Bad"-Lee Van Cleef, "The Ugly"-Eli Wallach. I have great memories of watching the Spaghetti Westerns genre with my Dad, he loved 'em!! They were very uniquely filmed by Sergio Leone. Y'all need to watch this movie, "A Fistful of Dollars", and "A Few Dollars More". Classics!!!
