My significant partner died on 8th of November. She loved to listen to this. It got her out of any depression she had. ❤❤thanks for all of your beautiful music!!
Brings a tear to the eye when I hear this scene. My dad and grandad spent all their life working at Grimethorpe Colliery. They were proud of the band and rightly so.
My Dad and Grandad too 😉😉 miners Grandad plays several brass instruments and is the Conductor too. My Dad plays this every Sunday when I'm little. Sunday is classical music day from 7am! till after Sunday dinner, then it's telly. It makes me smile x
the band who won the UK Championship that year with an incredible performance in 1992... That wasn't William Tell Ouverture, but "The New Jerusalem" by Philip Wilby, and what powerful music they made...
the only thing i know is i never had a dad from the age of 17 because my dad was a miner and died of lung disease and this film brings a tear to my eye ever time i watch it RIP dad and all the miners that went before and after him
Love this film, seen it dozens of times. Just noticed 1.50 mins quick crowd shot. The look on Sandra's face (phils wife) is perfect, conveys pride, awe and a genuine realisation of what the band meant to Phil. Melanie Hill is a brilliant actress .
Let's stop and honor and appreciate this masterpiece and beautiful piece of music the musicians deserve a lot of credit of playing the William tell overture c look classic music at its very best one of the best and favorite ever god bless you guys thanks you guys rock still going strong way to go ! Joe
Indeed! Best George Merry ever, Brother Gilbert, Theseus' dad, with one of the most beloved adventure toons (remember those Saturday mornings, you know you do)...
I love how this sounds without a string section, so bold, crisp and clear. The cornet solo is exquisite too. Since I first saw the movie when it was released on video, it gave me a renewed interest in all brass bands. The movie itself is a great tribute to all the union workers getting screwed by ruthless companies.
its shows how maggie treated the miners , yes we accepted tat coal as a power enerator ad to o but it sould have been phased out as other employment was built up for the men to go to and not hhave the comunities split
Very spirited. I have always enjoyed Rossini's William Tell overture. This is a tribute to the incredible musicianship that is found in the British Brass Orchestras.
The musicians deserve a lot of credit just a real masterpiece of live music everyone knows from the lone ranger outstanding and excellent performance job well done you should be amazed and proud love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go ! Joe
Brought up on big bands, brass bands, jazz bands and classical. My brother won a competition in his band, the floral dance was one of the pieces and I will never forget the day they won he played the cornet. Reminds me of this. This film is just unbelievable.
It's hard to impress a jaded musician with this old warhorse, but damn! The performance is perfect, the arrangement is brilliant, it sounds like it was always a brass band piece, especially the cornet solo.
From the lone ranger a real masterpiece of music the musicians deserve a lot of let's stop and honor and appreciate this moment they can do my job and I can't do there job god bless you guys thanks you guys rock one of the best and favorite pieces of music ever ! Joe
Absolutely brilliant. One of the--if not THE--best version of this song I have ever heard. And I would pay big bucks to just watch a conductor like that. Outstanding movie and a wonderful performance.
I am absolutely taken with this music, and especially the film, as it portrays the hard times of our miners in those days, and of course the good brass band music.
Taken by itself, simply as a random performance it is magnificent. I agree with your post completely. It is absolutely my favorite performance of this piece and this is one of my favorite pieces. But then when you factor in the story line of this movie and what this performance in this particular scene represents for the characters and the people and story the movie is based on and all the emotions that go with it, it becomes transcendent almost on the level of a religious experience. It transports you right there and makes you feel like you are actually part of the story feeling what the characters are feeling. It sounds cliché and people say things like that about movies all the time but in this case it is true. This movie gets a rare 5 stars from me and much of that is due to the music and in particular this performance. I only regret I wasn't there when they recorded it.
Captured the attitude of every euphonium player with that quote! I am one myself and i can’t tell you how annoying it gets when everyone calls us a baby tuba or heaven forbid a baritone. Not sure which one is more insulting! 🤣
Que maravilla de película. Dura y a la vez tierna. Ese orgullo de clase, de ser minero y músico. Un duro alegato a los terribles años de Thatcher y a la vez un canto a la amistad, el compañerismo y el amor a la música.
I was born in Wakefield and grew up in Altofts. My dad worked at West Riding Colliery. All the scenes in the film are so familiar. I live in Dorset now but my heart is still back home.
I had to do a little research to understand what was happening here, but it was well worth the time spent. I must find this movie to fully appreciate what was happening here.
R I P Pete Postlethwaite 😭He Did well in this and Well up when I watch him in this Great movie, Especially the Cast who Performed Brilliantly in this 😍
Movie Trivia: Commonly understood to be based on Grimethorpe Colliery Band, the fictional pit village of Grimley is actually an amalgamation of two neighboring South Yorkshire pit villages: Grimethorpe and Frickley. Both have internationally known brass bands. Frickley pit closed in 1993, a year after Grimethorpe. Unlike the other actors in the movie, Ewan McGregor knows how to play an instrument. He played the French horn when he was younger, which is an instrument with similar pitch to the Eb tenor horn his character plays in the movie ~ IMDb
I watched the Grimethorpe Colliery Band in Grimsby the other weekend. Excellent stuff, the Willliam Tell Overture was played as the encore... I can honestly say that the lead cornet player's (who played the middle bit) head was a bit redder than the bloke above! Go see em, you'll love them! ;) Dabz
Sadly the demise of the miners and the mining communities (Grimethorpe, Desford), the demise of the car industry (Fairey,Foden) has nearly seen the demise of this wonderful UK Music!
@baddogmiles And this guy (Shaun Randall) use to be my Brass Tutor when i was at primary school! What an inspiration! If only i was old enough at the time to realise it!!!
After Brassed Off was filmed most of the stars and crew still get together for a reunion.Grimethorpe still remains one of the poorest towns/village in Europe my town of Wombwell is not far behind unfortunately.
@LINDA230651 Most older band music has both cornet and trumpet parts. The cylindrical bore of the cornet lends are warming sound to the instrument making it more suitable for melodic work whereas the trumpet is usually utilized in punchy passages and occasionally for more dramatic passages.
Sorry the cornet is conical, slow taper allows for smoother transition to the ambient air from the mouthpiece & valve train. Similar to a tuba and euphonium. The trumpet has the cylinder shape. Does not taper until it must, much closer to the bell causing the punchy tone you noted. Same as trombone. The conical cornet shape results is a lower acoustic standing waves similar to VSWR in radio antenna design. Just my opinion and just like bellybuttons everybody got. ‘Em.

It was an awful job and remember they had pit ponies down there and they didn't ask to join.
Seeing Pete Postlethwaite always tugs at the heart strings.
A great movie. About time it was shown again on terrestrial tv
Most definately
This film is a masterpiece and a wonderful tribute to the strong spirit of those men and women who were the backbone of the British working class! ❤

Sorely missed.

This gives me goose bumps. I had to buy the movie! It is great!
This has got to be one of the best drama/comedy films ever made. The music is just fantastic. I could listen to it over & over again.
I love how this sounds without a string section, so bold, crisp and clear. The cornet solo is exquisite too.

I posted a comment somewhere around here where I said I could swear I hear violins. If I'm wrong, that's a tribute to these talented musicians.

A great tribute to the miners and their community spirit, A brilliant film and astounding music.
It's sad to see my brothers from across the pond have such animosity for each other. Best wishes to all of you from an American friend.

私は日本人です。
20年以上前にこの映画を観て以来、イギリスの歴史の中にある人々の悲しみと苦しみ、そして音楽が苦しむ人々の希望となることを表現するこの映画を愛しています。
日本の多くの人にとっても、学び感じることが多く、自分たちの未来を信じる力をもらえる映画だと思います。
日本の58歳男性です。この動画大好きです。
公開からすでに30年弱経っているのですが、とても感情が揺さぶられます。
この演奏の高揚感は、誰もが憧れるものではないでしょうか？
I am absolutely taken with this music, and especially the film, as it portrays the hard times of our miners in those days, and of course the good brass band music.
1:08 absolutely fantastic and as a cornet player myself i know how hard this is!
long live the memories of those miners, steel men & THEIR MUSIC
well done the grimethorpe colliery band, absolutely fantastic, great movie but amazing music.
I hadn't realized the beauty and power in this piece. Incredible.
Absolutely lovely film and with some stunning brass band music ...... As a ex miner the film and the tunes always put a tear in my eye
this is the best finale of the William Tell Overture that I've ever heard! (and I'm not exaggerating)
BLOODY WELL AGREE WITH YOU THERE M8

Classic line from Jim Carter: "It's NOT a trumpet! Its a EUPHONIUM!" magic!
You don't get trumpets in a brass band. You get cornets, flugel horns and even trombones, but no trumpets.
My parents quote this too much.
Captured the attitude of every euphonium player with that quote! I am one myself and i can’t tell you how annoying it gets when everyone calls us a baby tuba or heaven forbid a baritone. Not sure which one is more insulting! 🤣
Brilliant playing (by the professionals) and equally excellent editing of the clip by the film-makers.
オーケストラとは違うブラスバンドならではのビビット感が素晴らしいです。
この映画もとても好きで、ダニーの演説シーンは何度観ても感動します。
The playing is nothing short of FANTASTIC !
So beautiful, brings a sudden smile and joy whenever I heard it!
My all time favourite rendition of my all time favourite classical piece. Fantastic!
i love how at 1:08 he makes it seem completely effortless.. damn good player!! :D
Que maravilla de película. Dura y a la vez tierna. Ese orgullo de clase, de ser minero y músico. Un duro alegato a los terribles años de Thatcher y a la vez un canto a la amistad, el compañerismo y el amor a la música.
Fabulous piece brilliant playing I think it was also played when I was a child the itv.william tell 1959 or 1960 ? Children's series 🙂🙂🏴

Braised Off it's called. Great story, actors, but best of all are the musical numbers.
I've seen it numerous times…
@@fredherfst8148 Braised? Its called 'Brassed Off'
@@sethc6663 …Google knew better
@@fredherfst8148 Perhaps check again, my granddad has the dvd and it says 'Brassed Off' on the cover.
Tremendous, first class, played with vigour and full of passion. I am glad I discovered it and want the DVD and CD..

I've been watching this movie for over 10 years. Why isn't it on Netflix??
@@sdsures Where have you been watching it? I have been hunting for where I can get to see it. So far no luck anywhere.
My Favourite Film Brassed off , Love it x
Brilliant Film!The great music was a bonus.
brilliant movie brilliant music.
This is really the best version i've ever heard!!!
Jim Carter's greatest performance - and a fine band and movie.
Classic Rossini, Brilliant flick. Used to play to cornet - HOWAY THE LONE RANGER!

Almost started clapping at the end, damn good players, trombone player myself this is a hard piece to play that well, props to them guys.
I watched the Grimethorpe Colliery Band in Grimsby the other weekend. Excellent stuff, the Willliam Tell Overture was played as the encore... I can honestly say that the lead cornet player's (who played the middle bit) head was a bit redder than the bloke above!
Go see em, you'll love them! ;)

このサイトはストーリー性があって大変面白いですね。

One of the best British films ever what an actor Pete postlethwaite was
Aye, still brings a lump tpo my throat when Pete Postlethwaite appears in the background to this scene ...
The best of William Tell...
Thank God for music. The one language in the world that doesn't require an interpreter.
William Tell gives prestige to any band daring to play it!
Sadly the demise of the miners and the mining communities (Grimethorpe, Desford), the demise of the car industry (Fairey,Foden) has nearly seen the demise of this wonderful UK Music!
luckily the town i come from still has our bands, even though the collieries have long since closed.
Outstanding performance
Excellent I love the music
simply fantastic, god this film was brilliant,
@baddogmiles And this guy (Shaun Randall) use to be my Brass Tutor when i was at primary school! What an inspiration! If only i was old enough at the time to realise it!!!
This was one of the great songs in this movie!
Marvellous film.
Out bloody standing.
true British culture still going strong despite being ignored by the media who instead focus on rap and MOBO
The coronet solo in the middle amazes me every time I hear it!
さっそくTH-cam拝見させてもらいました。
ナイスですね
Pure bloody magic.
Easily the best performance. Absolutely the right tempo and enthusiastically played.
Brilliant cornet solo!

This is the actual recording from the competition that they were at
It was not set up for filming it, that is them actually playing
Trompet is my fav instrument because of this film
Bravissimi complimenti
映画ブラスのこのラストシーン最高にカッコいい 大好き
brassed off music like this every chance,great film great music,and that lovely blonde lady,
1:07 great scene and sound. I love it 👍👍👍👍
my mum was born in Grimethorpe - my grandpa worked for the National Coal Board as a mine engineer.
I wish we had company bands like this here in the US. We have precious few brass bands in the US and most of them are military bands.
nunya biznez To be fair, the military bands in both our countries are phenomenal!
Check out the Atlantic Brass Band in NJ. A superior ensemble.
Raleigh has one called the Triangle Brass Band.
I've never been anywhere but London but I'm sure I'd enjoy seeing your region....You guys sound like people I'd hoist a pint with.
Ahhh! The good old Lone Ranger Overture!
Just superb !

One of the best film sound tracks ever! Susan (not William) Marshall
高校生のとき吹奏楽部でtubaを吹いていました。そのころ観たこの映画は、より一層私を吹奏楽の魅惑の世界に導いてくれました。本当に感動したのでビデオも買いました。Ｉ ｌｏｖｅ ｔｈｉｓ ｍｏｖｉｅ！またtubaを吹きたくなりました＾＾
