I will forever love this piece. Every time I hear it it brings me to tears. Especially the meaning a nd Copeland's desire to have a Fanfare for the common man--the rest of us. Simply astounding!
Michael - this was the first piece I ever heard on CD - on a very good hi-fi system. It was also the first time I heard Fanfare for Common Man. It was a live-changing moment, to say the least and I do share some of your emotional expierence thereof.
As a French Horn player I absolutely agree! 1st time I performed this piece we split between the stage and the balcony of the auditorium. Still gives me chills, remembering that performance.
@@bethwest4760 If you haven't come across them already, go search Viennese Horns. It's a variant design which I didn't know existed until just a few years ago. Sound just as beautiful. Check it out. You'll be VERY glad you did.
We all know many common men in our lives. They hold our communities together, teach our children, care for the sick, drive trucks. They kept things going during Covid. Everyday hero’s. How wonderful someone dedicated this music to them. They often pass quietly, without fanfare or recognition.
Had the privilege to have Copeland himself conduct my University's Wind Ensemble performing this piece back in the early 80's. Even had him sign my conductor's score he wanted to borrow. Humble man and still sharp as a tack at his age. Funny how his interpretation, tempos and such often varied from the printed markings.
This, is for you. All of you. You've come this far so keep going. Tomorrow will be a new day and with it, new hope and a new light will shine. Never stop trying.
I've always loved the compositions of Aaron Copland, especially the Fanfare for the Common Man. It always gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Stellar performance!
This piece gave me the strength to keep going through the darkest days of the pandemic and through the incredible reckoning our nation and our world has experienced over the last three years. It is within the human condition to endure, overcome, and thrive and I can think of no better anthem.
Interesting as this piece was written at the request of the Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony, Eugene Goossens, as a patriotic fanfare to begin his concerts for the '42 Concert Season to lift public morale at the onset of WWII. The darkest days for the US just entering the war.
I am impressed with the audio quality. I don't see individual microphones. They probably used wide angle microphones but the instruments sound very balanced, as if it was recorded on a studio. It made me think that maybe was recorded on a studio and they are just pretending to record the video. Hard to tell.
Yes, I will always admire this musical piece. Emerson, Lake and Palmer performed this at the Montreal Olympic Stadium during the winter. Sometime in the late 1970’s.
Not only is my dad a Princeton grad, 1960, but we selected this song as our theme for all special evolutions aboard USS ANZIO (CG 68). This was played the day we brought her to life, and the day we put her to bed.
You can actually drive through Princeton. One summer I drove from MIT to Princeton (which has actually pretty good Indian food). I crashed a big shot professor or someone else's party with music on the lawn just like this. In the evening, I eat vegetarian sandwiches, took chips for the road, drank fruit punch and no one cared, I was the common man passing through Princeton that summer.
They did it's by Emerson, Lake and Palmer it's my favorite version. You will never listen to this the same way after hearing them play. They even played it for Copeland he loved it.
Is this the successor orchestra to the Princeton Collegium Musicum? I played principal trumpet with them in the 70s as successor to Gerard Schwartz. Jim Litton was the conductor. we did great Christmas programs and in particular I remember a performance of Purcell’s come ye sons of art followed directly, too directly indeed , by Handel’s let the bright Seraphim with the Saint Matthews boy choir and me struggling along on long baroque trumpet. How times change
One of the most moving piece of music I know of, way shorter than Beethoven's 9th but delivers great emotional power. Well done Princeton Symphony Orchestra and company bravo.
I've always loved this piece from childhood. It's hard to imagine that the audio from this performance is the audio from the park as filmed--how on earth is there no traffic noise, and, above all, how can you have a noisy little drone taking pictures from above and not have a trace of it in the audio? I guess multiple takes onsite could explain it.
Clicked on this because I love this song, but I'm weirded out by one of the French horn players. Because he looks like my dad. (Who plays lute & classical guitar, not brass!)
Very nicely done, although from my point of view it sounded about a half-beat too fast. But that's from the POV of having listened to the CD version many times and gotten used to the pacing on there.
Are you trying to take the teacher to school? I'm retired with a PhD in music performance. Spent my life playing in an American philharmonic. No body would play this simpleton, manipulative, piece of schmaltz until after ELO made it their own. When these other people play it, it is in tribute to ELO NOT Copeland. GFY
Pretty sure they used a part of this using straight trumpets in the Los Angeles Olympics in ‘84, and regretfully a TV network here in Australia has flogged the Emerson, Lake & Palmer version as their sports them in the 38 years since, taking away a lot of the meaning. They got “Common” and “Elite” confused.
Yep, I suspect the video was edited with these players playing it indoors (hence the acoustics)...at 2:14, the timpani notes aren't perfectly synced...

The trumpets may get all the glory, but in the end, its the horns that make your heart sing. 🙂👏

Played both. "You're g-damn RIGHT!"
Trumpets are horns...
@@b.vonschnauser207 He's referring to FRENCH horns.

Sounds good. Whenever I hear this I see Keith, Greg & Carl playing In Montreal Stadium.

Our MD is fond of saying that the score is just words, but the interpretation tells the story.
Copland came to Oakland U in Rochester, MI in the 70's and conducted the orchestra in a program. Of course, we played this Fanfare, too.
I get chills every time this song is played. It reminds me of a common man conquering a mountain and rising to the top
This, is for you. All of you.
You've come this far so keep going.

The harmony of all the instruments at 2:27 sounds so sweet!
Agreed!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful!
Wow, every time I hear this piece, I quit breathing, my throat closes up, & my eyes water. Fantastic.
As is should be played outside in the open air where the common man can hear it.
This is awesome and should be done frequently!❤️🎵🎶
As a fellow trombone player, I loved every chance I ever had to perform this piece.
Hats of to Mr.Copeland ! And I should mention the outstanding Emerson Lake and Palmer’s interpretation .
Bravo! Beautifully done.

Beautiful ! So much appreciation for this piece, in its accoustic version, as I discovered with ELP. Beautiful and moving !!!
I love the smile at the beginning. When they smile, you know they know you have this.
This is wonderful! Bring it to the people with a perfect fit in Fanfare for the Common Man!
Aaron Copeland was (is) an absolutely amazing composer! And this is an absolutely indescribably amazing performance.... I am in awe!
Nicely done! This is certainly one of the better performances on TH-cam...Bravo Maestro Milanov and the musicians of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra!
Excellent job audio editing/lip syncing. Definitely recorded indoors but it sounded amazing. Well done.
I was brought to this tune by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
I wish I knew who was cutting the onions in here.
Yes, I will always admire this musical piece. Emerson, Lake and Palmer performed this at the Montreal Olympic Stadium during the winter. Sometime in the late 1970’s.
So Fresh. So Clean
Love that brass 👍🏾
Not only is my dad a Princeton grad, 1960, but we selected this song as our theme for all special evolutions aboard USS ANZIO (CG 68). This was played the day we brought her to life, and the day we put her to bed.
Sounds great on my computer, it must have sounded wonderful in the park.
Would have been fun to hear live! Obviously it wouldn't have sounded quite like this recording, but still would have been awesome!

now, imagine you're just 3 blokes in Olympic Stadium...
Bravo, wonderful sound, well done all of you!
Applauding the screen all by myself here in my home. Bravo!
Me too!!
I love this composition. Wonderful. 🧡🧡👏👏👏👏
That was magnificent, Thank you.
Beautifully done. Thank you.
yes .... but I love the idea of including ELPs interpretation in the end...
Nothing says "common man" like a symphony orchestra in tuxes on an Ivy League campus. (Well played though)
Hehe fair point 😂 although in this case they're across the street from the campus
@@DavidZaslavsky Close enough.
Hey, it is New Jersey after all.
Would you prefer them in boxers?
All that stuff was the ‘Fanfare’ part! The ‘common man’ part was the simple chords and simple melody, yet still sound amazing. Your joke was funny!
Outstanding
Absolutely top brass and performance. 🎵🙏🎩👍✨🦄
Wonderful wonderful and wonderfully done. I loved orchestral music, and has a piece that string my heart.
Thank you
How cool would it be to make a rock version of this...
They did it's by Emerson, Lake and Palmer it's my favorite version. You will never listen to this the same way after hearing them play. They even played it for Copeland he loved it.
On YT
@@rossmeldrum3346 No joke sherlock...
I see what you did, Fefe. 😄😉
I love this piece. In fact, it is the ring tone on phone for my dad. I have had a lot of people comment on it as well.
How and where did you fine the ringtone. If I can come up with it I will hope for a call every few minutes!
@@robertjwilliams3532 I found it on Zedge (app store). I just checked and it is still there, ready to be downloaded.
Great performance and excellent recording. 🤩
Spectacular! 🎶
Wow, how cool is that !!
Perfection
Very impressive! Well done!
1977.....Emerson Lake and Palmer......fanfare for the common man.....
Happy new year, this is awesome indeed
awesome. Loved it.
Thanks for watching!

lovely performance, especially outdoors
I'm clapping.
Gave me the Chills. thankyou
Well played. Thank you.
From Havard, for all of you common men, not us of course.
One of the most moving piece of music I know of, way shorter than Beethoven's 9th
but delivers great emotional power. Well done Princeton Symphony Orchestra and
company bravo.
Wonderful!
I dont know why i always have the movie 2001 in mind listn to this music.

Not sure how this outdoor recording with the players all spread out sounded so good. jw
With no mics anywhere. lol
Would've loved to hear the outdoor sound. It's different.
I'm not a Copeland fan but I love this.
Excellent!
贅沢な演奏ですね😊
LOVE!!!!
The tuba player is a professor at my university, wow
Sweet.
Nice drone shots…
Wonderful piece to play. One of the great fanfares. But unless you tripled the size of this symphony, best heard indoors with better acoustics.
Clicked on this because I love this song, but I'm weirded out by one of the French horn players. Because he looks like my dad. (Who plays lute & classical guitar, not brass!)
Lol the low brass entrance
Fantastic!
Where are the microphones? Can't see any!
Very nicely done, although from my point of view it sounded about a half-beat too fast. But that's from the POV of having listened to the CD version many times and gotten used to the pacing on there.
🎵❤️🎶
What’s happening?!
I’m tears.
The title of the piece and then being played in an ordinary residential area. A celebration of the common human.
You really mean extraordinary neighbourhood, don't you?
Crown, 2009. Those who know, know
Giving covid the middle finger. Love it
Dude in my highs school orchestra no percussion was allowed to sit down aside from a standard drum kit. To this day I have no idea why.
Must’ve been the sound guy’s special place in hell this day.
0:52 Trumpets play
Where are the Microphones??????
lip synced
dude are the only women in this video spectators and the gong player?
Women play violin and flute, sometime oboe. Everyone knows this.
Fanfare is great, but damn, the common man could use some Healthcare...
Needs more synthesizer.
Just like Copeland had when he composed this back in 1942!

they have some of the most amazing accoustics on this campus quad that I've ever heard!!
Yep, I suspect the video was edited with these players playing it indoors (hence the acoustics)...at 2:14, the timpani notes aren't perfectly synced...
It's just not the same without the Guitar and later the organ cutting in, Where is ELP when you need them?
how do you not have 1mil subscribers? Are your other video crap?
