The thing is what if this was in a horror movie?- Like, imagine your car breaks down so you have to walk through the woods but you witness those 5 basses playing Pink Panther so you and the crazy killer out in the woods, play the pink panther game just tip-toe away as quick as possible.
Scene: The Woods. You are unaware that you are being stalked by a bear. "The Pink Panther" arranged and performed for five Double Basses plays in the background. Enter clearing (stage left) where the five piece Double Bass ensemble are playing "the Pink Panther". Stop. Look confused. Break the fourth wall by looking at the camera and shrugging. Exit clearing. (state right) Sounds of bear attacking quintet behind you.
Imagine sneaking down a forest trail as quietly as possible so as not to disturb a sleeping bear... and then a double bass quintet starts playing this theme.
I played one of those beasts professionally for 38 years. It's not easy to do melody in the high register like that. Had to retire from it due to health issues. These young people are inspiring!
Health issues! That would be the Organ recital! I more than understand that. I appreciate your comment. A lovely and complicated piece. So much music that a lot goes by us. Be well!
Not sure why this came up in my feed today....but I am absolutely blown away. I could never have imagined that theme song realized so beautifully by five basses. Wow.
Ditto, not sure why it came in my feed today, seems youtube recommend it again. It's a beautiful rendition though, and i enjoyed it. But i have to ask, why in the woods? lol
Same thing happened to me! Plus I've never heard the full theme before! Just the first 45 seconds or so! (Edit): The 5 of them pulling the bows across the strings at the end got me good!
Great! I'm just an admirer of folks like YOU who CAN play an instrument. I use a big metal spoon to whapp onto the bottom of my big spaghetti pot [I have five kids & need giant pots]. The Kids think I'm the Mistress of BangBang! Thanks for playing one of my most favorite music pieces!
As a producer that usually works with synths and digital instruments, I'm overwhelmed by unrivaled power and nuance in acoustic instruments. The rich warm sounds are a testament to ur skills as musicians and the skills of your sound engineer
The alarm does not go off. It goes on. A Russian immigrant friend I had in Houston informed me of that many years ago. He also informed me that we Americans are crazy, too, for saying the bomb goes off; because it definitely goes ON!
@@notmyworld44 The phrase "alarm goes/going off" means that something has tripped its alert mechanism, which can be a sound, flashing lights, or something else. When I was a child, this phrase confused me whenever I saw it in a textbook. It made more sense to say "the alarm is turning on" instead of "going off", but that's one the quirks of the English language.
I assumed this would just be some uninspired cover of a tired old tune, but I was surprised how well this turned out. Dynamics, feel, taste. It came out great.
@@joesephjoestar4449 - "Taste" in music means the ability to discern between what sounds good and what doesn't, specifically in reference to dynamics, arrangement and harmonic choices. For instance, a musician with poor taste would probably try to add loud distorted guitar to a Sunday afternoon cafe trio. This group, TASTEFULLY incorporated 5 double basses and created beautiful music instead of a potential hot mess.
Thank you so much for your nice words. That inspires me. Your comment reminded me to add the link of the original recording to the video description: th-cam.com/video/jBupII3LH_Q/w-d-xo.html
@@bozoparadzikcom Yes. Mr. Mancini came back to his alma mater and offered a weeklong workshop at the music school each year. This would have warmed his heart tremendously as he loved to see the students innovate with his music. I saw this four years 1975 to 1979.
Sorry, I have no deep, musically well-educated comment to offer, just... wow, that was awesome! This plain "I just love music" person appreciated that so much! Thank you for sharing your talents!
As someone who know Mancini’s Pink Panther music about as well as his own social security number, I can confidently say that Hank (Henry) would’ve proudly smiled at this fine arrangement and performance of his forever famous theme song.
I picked up bass last year and I felt as if there was nothing else I can do that would just be a bassist ,then I saw this and it gave me a different perspective that my instrument isn’t that bad
not only is it not that bad......it's essential. i'm also a fellow bass player(electric). you might wanna look up victor wooten, jaco pastorius, john myung, and scott's bass lessons. all of them are awesome.
Sometimes we just need to branch out. Try some other instruments, see how music is all connected in some way. Then you can find whats right for you or youll find a new love for your original instrument. :)
For anyone wanting to play the upright bass. Go for it! most basses don't get much recognition so the more people play the more people can see how wonderful the bass really is.
Is it just me, this music Carries my mind back years and years. I am child again, back before the Cartoons died, mesmerized by the Pinkpanthers enjoyable antics.
I had no idea it was possible to even do that. I heard the sax, bone, trumpet and sousa (which I had seven years experience in the last two), and percussion. I believe I could listen to this forever. Thank you.
About an inept Inspector Clouseau! Played by Peter Sellers ... it was a bit of a spoof of the highly popular and successful James Bond movies from the early 60s
If you only watch one, it has to be the Return of the Pink Panther! I never laughed so hard in my life! I thought I would die laughing during the nitrous oxide routine! Pure genius!
As a German bower (bow-er?), I'm thrilled to see the 4:1 ratio of German to French bowers. But honestly, regardless of bowing preference, y'all are awesome and have inspired me to get back at it with my big boi!
@@thedolphin5428 At 2:03, all five of them are bowing, and you can see that the woman in the white shirt on the right is holding her bow differently from the others. She's holding hers the same way you'd hold a violin or cello bow, over the top, parallel to the bow. That's the French grip. The others are holding their bows from underneath, perpendicular to the bow. That's the German grip. Each grip has its pros and cons.
A magnificent tune interpreted with double basses and out in nature, it gives the melody the realistic meaning of the Pink Panther theme. The double bass quintet gives a radiant sparkle of an unexpected surprise in the woods. The acoustic pluck gives resonance to the melody. The string players have a great synchronised exchange of communication. KUDOS to the musicians and the composer!
Incredible!! Thank you for uploading this master piece. The way you managed to " translate" this great and well known theme using 5 Double Basses, is testament to your talent, and brilliant creative music visionary 🎉 Bravo 👏👏👏
I am a jazz pianist and it is so hard to find a bass player, let alone a good one. I would love to kidnap the whole group for some hell-bending jam sessions. Thanks for posting. Enjoyed it completely!
This is a real treat for the ears , the bass is so versatile in the hands of great players, you can hear many other instruments that are not really there.
What teachers. Tremendous and fantastic interpretation. I congratulate each and every one of you who performed this musical theme composed by Henry Macini. This song marked my childhood because I'm a big fan of the series "The Pink Panther", the one from the 70s. And how good it sounds executed with double basses. Wonderful.
This is amazing. As a string player, i understand how difficult this is, especially that high shifting. Also, im happy to see all basses doing this, as bass is almost as underated/underestimated as the viola. Almost.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! In my mind, I saw the Pink Panther pacing behind them. R.I.P Henry Mancini. You were one of the best composers of all times and am proud to say that I have a good collection of your albums.
What impressed me the most was they weren’t tapping the beat with their feet. I was in band for many years and in most pieces, I still have tap my foot to the beat to not go offbeat. Would have probably been caught on the mics if they had, but still very impressed. Plus all sound coming only from the cello was awesome to “see”. Bravo. Encore for a pretty pink kitty. 🎻🎻🩷🩷
@@abisha6166 Would be nice, but it's the size and material that makes it so deep and warm. Electric cello can be basically just a stick with strings attached so that's slightly more portable?
great job. i always loved this song. mancini doesn't get enough credit these days for his movie and tv scores. this might sound odd but i particularly liked the player using her bass to provide percussion. thanks for the video.
I've only been playing classical for 11 years though so you are far better than me from what I have seen on your channel. I hope to be like you one day.

George Blue I’d honestly start panicking and have an existential crisis wondering if my whole life has been a TV show this whole time.
Sad that Peter Sellers is not here to peer around some tree trunk... before enquiring about the cellos...
The wildest thing out of all of this is that at some parts it almost sounded like a saxophone the same way it is in the original
Thank you 😍🙏 I gave my best to do so
The Original was made with trumpet. Not saxophone.
Doby Well of course that changes EVERYTHING.
Doby Well it’s actually saxophone and trumpet, they both have parts
I thought so too, amazing 🎶
Once in a while, the world throws up a total gem. This is one of those times. Outstanding.
I agree! This is awesome!
i love the texture in the sound of having several basses bow while others pluck. incredibly dynamic and really proves the versatility of the bass!
Exactly
without sax, it loses 99% of it's beauty
@@kinuux Na.
@@kinuux That's not the point.
You can make music with everything. Not with just one ore two instruments.

Underrated coment.

Why does the location matter!?!?

From a retired double bass player....THAT WAS FANTASTIC......Great job
Thanks 🤗
Its amazing how much tapping the base adds to the music
Yes, very good idea!
And anywhere else you like.

The way they hold their bows scares me tho because I learned the French way lol

It’s not even funny how beautiful this rendering is.
I hope the girl doing acoustics with her hands realizes that her contribution to the piece was not unimportant
She also played the strings ,just saying.
I liked her the best. She was multitasking her socks off.
The most vital part; even a bass band needs a bass line to follow.
Only you thought about it.

The most entertaining performance by double basses I've ever witnessed. Also the first performance I've seen by double basses only.

The Pink Panther theme has _always_ been a favorite of mine. You all played it beautifully. Henry would be proud. Cheers! 🍻
Mr. Mancini is smiling. Talking tonewoods. Magnificent. Bravo. Thank you.
this sounds so much less muddy than I expected, even without playing crazy high on (or off ;) the fingerboard.
Really cool
This video is what put the idea of playing the bass in orchestra in my head. And now I’m still going and have no regrets!
I've loved the Pink Panther theme since I was a kid. You all did a great job with it.
Not only was this fun, but recorded in natural ♮ settings.
For anyone wanting to play the upright bass. Go for it! most basses don't get much recognition so the more people play the more people can see how wonderful the bass really is.
