Such an underrated score. Spielberg himself has said he actually prefers the 1941 march over the one for Raiders.
I created a Williams playlist. This one is included. A mos def listening.
An underrated score for an underrated film.
@@weikko79 It's still one of my favorite Spielberg films. He himself said next to Schindler's List it was one of his favorite movies to make.
It's actually his favorite march he's written!
So cool to see John Williams enjoy his own work. The smile on his face says it all. :). Great job to the Presidents Own Band playing this tune. :)
Indeed, it was a pleasure watching him direct at La Scala in Milano, last year.
Best 141 Euros I have ever spent!
One young lady in the flute section, with some measures rest was completely mesmerized, with a look on her face and eyes, like "I can't believe I'm being conducted by the real John Williams, OMG."
The Marine band is really good!
I have seen hundreds of concerts in my life, ranging from the Stones, McCartney, RUSH, Nugent ,AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Petty, to Anita Baker The Tubes ,Gino Vannelli and even the Monkees just to name a few. I have NEVER EVER been so moved at a concert as I was with THEE Mr. John Williams. Hands down , without a doubt the single greatest live performance I ever experienced
One of my all-time favorite pieces. Had to put on my headphones so I didn't wake up everyone in the house.
Right?
I have hit Grt Hits and crank this like it's a Van Halen song.
Add: "The Cowboys" to this list.
I love seeing at the end how pleased John Williams is to have conducted the band, and how pleased they are to have had him as conductor.
I play trumpet and I'm in high school in a small town in Idaho and I think this is one of the coolest pieces ever!! I want to play this some day really bad!🎺
What instrument?
@@nullifixed1021 i want you to reread the comment and use 100% of your brainpower on this one
I hope you get the chance. The conteapuntal run with woodwinds vs brass leading into final statement of them is awesome and a wonder to play.
Mr. John Williams always makes me cry, EVEN with his marches. My god, WHY ARE THESE SCORES SO GOOD?!?!? There are no "lesser" scores, even the ones that are not so well known ARE masterpieces. God bless this genius human being. Nothing else to say, just THANK YOU!!!!
Count how many times these normally poker--faced musicians are seen smiling up at JW. They can't help but love this national treasure any more than we can.
Underrated score from an underrated movie.
I could see Belushi's P40 screaming down the highway.... Excellent rendition from the Master Composer!
Yes over Fresno CA
This is quite awesome!! John Williams is a legend and national treasure❤️🇺🇸
Watch the bandmembers as they play this under his baton. Every chance they get their eyes are on the conductor for this probably once in a lifetime experience. So awesome.
No one could write Hero music like John Williams. Period.
I am of the belief that God has him very busy writing the soundtrack and scoring for the 2nd coming of Christ.
Dang, Mr Williams is GOOD -- and he's a decent conductor, as well. Not all composers are.
Such admiration by the players towards him. You can just feel it in the music.
I remember playing this in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. It's always been one of my favorites. The piece gives you a little spark of joy like few others can.
Gig 'Em !!!!
If this movie wasn’t the box office joke that it was, I believe that this march would have been one of the most well known and most performed works by John Williams, as opposed to somewhat of an afterthought.
Like Bernstein’s Candide Overture (which also was the music to a flop), it practically saves the movie from complete oblivion. I can’t think of a better concert opener. One tempo from start to finish (as opposed to Raiders March or Star Wars Main Theme) and light, fresh and fun. Reminds me of Morton Gould’s American Salute.
I wish this were performed more.
My middle school band played this. BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE! Thanks John Williams.
Wow! It’s hard to conceive that as a young man, all of that was in his head, ready for implementation for anyone lucky enough to get him to score their movie.
This brings a smile to my lips and a tear to my eye! Wonderful!
This March is just hilarious and full of joy and humour. It’s just so exciting. You can’t not stop your feet to it….
And you can just SEE them, marching by, can't you? With their flat, dishpan helmets, their khaki canvas leggings and webgear, 1903 Springfield rifles on their shoulders; long bayonets glinting. The 48 Star flags..
Two national treasures.
Music spectacular
One of the John Williams marches I like the most. I listened to that track on Sony's 90s CD, The Spielberg / Williams Collaboration by Sony Music.
Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only person with that CD! It's got so many classics: Adventures on Earth, Out to Sea, 1941, Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra...
@@cannonjones6713 Oh no, I have it too. Great CD.
Cadillac of the Skies!
The smile on every member’s face says it all.
I am Born on November 10th!!!! My father was born in 1941!!! Marines all the way!!
This score is the best thing about the movie and this was a great performance of it.
Absolutely brilliant composition and brilliantly played by the superb President’s Own …. a joy to hear!
I love it when music gives me goosebumps, and this piece certainly has. Wonderful march.
Very nice ❤ Williams is a legend.
what are perfect piece
Excellent! 👏👏
The Maestro does it again another good score by The Great John Williams.
Not the great it's the Greatest !😀👍
Truly an American treasure.
This piece is so Awesome and to watch John Williams and the Presidents own makes me smile!! Bravo 👏 👏 👏
This is one the best movie themes and of course it's John Williams at the helm.
They all look so serious and professional but inside they must've been going a mile a minute and having the best day of their music careers
What a cracking march superbly performed; I loved the syncopation, quite surprising in a march!!!
At 3:29, he goes from a massive grin to “Who the hell was 0.5 cents too sharp?”
Watch him conducting the Star Wars theme live with the Vienna Philharmonic. The orchestra was trying to go faster than he was conducting, so "if looks could kill", the orchestra would be dead! A few measures in, the orchestra slowed to where he wanted it to be.
It's almost impossible to not smile while hearing this!
John williams the second john Phillip Souza with the best marches ever
Absolutely magnificent!
This is my personal favorite piece of John Williams music, wich as you very well know, is saying something.
Even though this is an overblown movie, I always liked it. And the score is great. Spielberg's "Mad Mad World"!
To me, it invokes images from the novel 'Team Yankee', a platoon of Abrams casually traversing the German country side.
Quite infectious. Memorable, too.
This is one of my favorite themes from john Williams
This is SO-O-O addictive!!!
In my minds eye I can see Wild Bill Kelso landing at that gas station.
Trumpets in they Air ,! Congratulzations Mr, Williams
I was there!
Great, great, great
i finally see a video where John Williams Conducts this 1941 Theme again.... the movie and theme were made i think 1980 it RARELY Gets played along with the Superman theme which he also wrote 2 very good themes that are under performed even though i love a lot of his other stuff
Happy Birthday John!
What an epic piece for an epic movie!
This is actually a tribute song to captain Robert Kelso who attacked the first Japanese aircraft over the continental US and captured a Japanese submarine off the California coast.
_"And don't you forget it!"_
@@mattrismatt who said war nervs?
10/10
I love listening to orchestra
John Williams's score was the only redeeming factor for that movie. It sent chills through my body. AWESOME!!
Thanks for posting.
何度聴いても良い曲です。ジョンウイリアムズ氏の曲は素晴らしいものばかりですがわたしはこの曲が一番好きかもしれません。映画じたいは見たことないんですが😅
Absolutely love this ensemble. There is no better. Will someone please steal and hide those toy crash cymbals!!
Merci 💚
Happy Birthday!
You can just SEE them....marching by in their flat, dishpan helmets and leggings, '03 Springfield rifles with their long bayonets shouldered, 48 star flags flying...
Wild Bill Kelso is proud of youq
The President's Own - tighter than a blouse on Dolly Parton.
I just realized that I'm listening to this at exactly 19:41 what a coincidence.
Alrighty now, where are my fellow Salt Mining Gnomes?
These syncopated rhythms are terrific!
John Philip Sousa would have loved this if he was still with us today 🇺🇸
È splendida!!🎵🙏🎼🎶
Epic
Complete knockout ! Out of this world!
Great
Would be perfect for military ceremonies 🇺🇸
If you haven't seen it, the introduction to this song shows the absolute surprise of the band members when John walks on stage.

Лёгкий,радостный,очаровательный марш
Qué maravilla
Every time I hear the opening bars of this I hear the engines of 9th Bomber Command's B24s warming up for Operation TIDAL WAVE on August 1st, 1943.
*lands P-40 at a gas station in the middle of nowhere* "Fill her up! ethyl!" :D
"...WHERE?!!!"
Great scene!!
Who else got send here for school
Do you have March mania 2
This march by the master John Williams rocks, big time!
I'm trying to envision the 16 people who gave this a thumbs down. They're either:
1) Jealous that they can't compose like John Williams,
2) Jealous that they can't play as well as the President's Own,
3) Auditioned for the President's Own and were turned down,
4) Totally deaf,
5) Without a soul, or
6) Just evil!
I've played this before with several decent concert bands, and am preparing to play it again with a group that's about 80% professional musicians. The President's Own are our model for performance!!
John Williams actually made a military song that sounds like it was made BY the military . 🪖🎖️🧑✈️🇺🇲
He is no Bill Conti. But, like this song. And, the Marines.
Maravilha!!!!
Compare this to the U.S. Army recording
The Army recording is so stiff and stilted while this one just flows
There is no other performance or recording better than this!!
Roheryn 37 ummm..., have you heard the Spielberg on Williams cd version? Nothing against thus one it’s great but it’s not that one, its not fair though it was written for full orchestra, this one is lacking some in comparison to that one. This is the best band version I’ve heard though
RobertSaxy actually, that’s what I meant! The best WIND recording! There area lot of differences between wind and orchestral performances. I prefer wind music so I will always say the wind performance is better than any orchestral performance. It’s just my preference.
Roheryn 37 cant go wrong either way, it Williams and a brilliant performance. I know the feeling, I’m a orchestra person (even though I’m a brass player) and prefer the orchestra stuff. This is however is the best wind version hands down any else is taste and preference. How lucky are we to have so much John Williams music available, enjoy
3:11
1:05
Ah, that's better... proper tempo. Just come from the Army's video, they were all over the shop 😁
Just wondering WHO is stuffing the vote for this piece ... there just cannot be any other explanation for this piece beating out Holst's Moorside March, and Fucik's Entry of the Gladiators (aka "Thunder & Blazes"), at least not based upon the instances in this playlist ... could it be the SAME person(s) stuffing the vote for Hands Across the Sea, which beat out Williams' Raiders March and Sousa's Washington Post March ... if this piece gets to the final, someone has been playing a numbers game, because of the four Williams' marches in the 2021 March Mania, I find it difficult to believe that this piece doesn't bring up the rear behind Raiders, Imperial March and Superman ...
~~ 👏~~
The best part of the movie - The March.
Some funny parts, but too much over-the-top.
Steven Spielberg would never attempt a comedy again.
Yes some of the comedy was forced but I still enjoyed it - the March, though, really sticks with you.
I can watch him conduct it again and again especially following along on the score
Why o why??? You stole Mingles with Jingles theme???
Listen to the Unió Musical de Vilafranca

John Williams is the weirdest conductor i've seen, I can't understand his gestures at all! But the music is fantastic anyways!
Hes been conducting and composing longer than you've been alive most likely, what your referring to are probably cues, dynamic changes, rhythm cues also, the wind band is supposed to respond to the conductors energy too!
@@Siick_GradySHORTS I know, I've had conducting lessons in University! That's why I'm baffled by his strange and uncommon gestures, I guess I was taught in a more classical way. I can't find the first beat, I do understand his dynamics indications though.
P.S. Also, just starting in music conducting this last year, it's not what I expect to be later, but It's always good to know how to conduct your own piece when you compose like me.
@@vetlerradio Ever seen Bernstein conduct? At this level its not about downbeat and pattern.
@@MarkAAguero Noticed that a while ago, what we are taught in school and what's being done outside is pretty different.
Boooooooooo! Imagine being a band director lol
