Dancing while playing a sax is no easy thing.
Have a look at Leo P.
He's insane
Cough cough marchibng band
Thing that always gets me about this video...
All the members are moving around, having a good time--the Bari dancing in the middle is great!
...
Then there's the Contra player who can't move because his instrument rests on the floor :D
The sopranino sounds like a violin! The whole ensemble itself sounds like a complete orchestra!
Beautiful!
Man, it sounds like they are hiding a section of wind and string instruments in there. Great range of sound.
These are all wind instruments
Trent Does stuff Yeah well, I goofed. I was thinking more of the other divisions of woodwinds. I'm still looking for the invisible violin elves hiding in there somewhere.
Well I see you ment, clarinets, and instruments that
If you look really close throughout the video the really really small saxophone are the highest ranged saxophone so those are the ones that sound like other instruments but if you have all the saxophones from the biggest to the smallest you can pretty much mimic the whole band like they're doing here really cool how you can do that with just one instrument
they're sopranos
Kudos to the contrabass.
I do not believe there is a contrabass here.
We need a B flat subcontrabass tubax in here.
We need a B-flat tubax here!
Shining Armor
No contrabass here? What would you call the huge saxophone in the middle?
I would have said that is a bass
3:46 Proud Baritone line right there! (& Bass lol)
There are no baritones, it's just the contrabass saxophone
I was listening to this with my earbuds in and my eyes closed, and I teared up some. Saxophone is such a beautiful instrument, and I'm so thankful that I was blessed with the opportunity to play it when I joined band in middle school. I aspire to be at least half as skilled as these brilliant musicians.
Ah, the sweet soprano sax. I need to dig mine out. right after I convince Scaramouche to do the fandango!
Have you convinced it yet?
@@abedinsubashi im guessing not
Typ0e yea I agree
I didn't know there was such a thing as a saxophone choir.
Same.
+Emma Cazes well as a saxophone player this pleases me.
? yeah
+MelodyEdits Me too.
There can be, and probably is an instrument choir for every instrument and instrument fanily
This amazing!!! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury!!!!!
Tenor is so much crisper and has more of a mix between low and high making it the best
I liked the part when they were all playing solos and turning around at each other 😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👊👊 and also loovvee the Bari's and contrabass sax #bari
what about the bass sax?
the StuffPerson I was just going to say that
Comrade Mc большой мальчик dont you just love how everyone just assumes its a bari? Im a tenor player and i still feel insulted on her behalf XD
The sax is SO underappreciated in classical music....sad and definite lose for classical, cuz the sax makes so beautiful a tone, no matter which sax it is. I played a little alto and tenor sax in my younger days but never did the instrument any justice.
This is rock just so you know.
Yeah, saxophones are rarely played in orchestral music. It's all about the strings
Thats because Adolphe Sax was such an asshole his instruments were banned by classical composers early on
@@marbles2223 Why he is a "Asshole"??
I play tenor sax! I've listened to this rendition sooo many times, and every single time, it has never failed to send chills all over my body!
X2
2:9 my favorite part
Just plan fun, how many times have you ever heard all the Saxes working together, me never?
like herding cats
Sadly they’re missing two members of the family.
O-O I am shocked and amazed at this. All of you have made Adolphe Sax proud. :D
I Fell in love with the Bari Sax as soon as i saw it in band in 6th grade!
Bari Sax Brethren Forever
Wow. They did pretty good. I was singing along in my head the whole time. I play Alto, Tenor, and Bari. Wish we had this kind of choir. Awesomeness
Strong enough to bring someone to tears at the end. This is beautiful.
A million years ago, I had a friend with a recording of a Swiss sax orchestra from the 20s that I've never forgotten. Now I know I wasn't hallucinating. It's real and it's beautiful.
This is just.... Beautiful absolutely beautiful.
I just got a soprano recently after playing tenor for 3 years and I think soprano, tenor, and bass for the win. WOOOOOO Bb
it's like a symphony of saxs...love it
and yet it is the best and cannot be topped as you can see here from this fine arrangement
Just shows how good they must be, they can make their instruments sound like a String section at 2:57 its AMAZING !
This is amazing! Al the harmonies are just like the original! I love the choreography!
THis is just amazement hidden inside an instrument, waiting to be played.
This reminds me of the time I once played the alto saxophone in a band that had a violin in it and what surprised me the most was how the alto saxophone and the violin sounded so similar. I would assume that a saxophone even higher than an alto saxophone would sound even more like a violin.
Man oh man ... did I ever enjoy listening to that ! Sax is the sexiest !
That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard I really wish I could afford to own my own baritone sax man do I miss playing that thing you guys and gals are amazing would kill to be in your group
When I feel myself spiraling into old habits I come and listen to this, it makes me cry but it gets me in a better mood.
I played a very similar arrangement in a sax quartet. Still causes me chills as I listen.
Who would have thought that the Saxophone is such an amazing musical instrument, what a range of notes. Also, it's only the release of Freddie Mercury's film have I begun to appreciated how talented a musician and writer he was.
Nice to see the co-ordinated dance movement to the song - reminds me of the Shadows 'Walk'.
I'm a Trombonist, I don't have much taste for the sound of a Sax (due to its dominance in popular music over the decades) but this is euphonious and soothing to listen to.
to be fair there is a good reason for them to be dominant in popular music.
It's everything I ever dreamed of...
*crying*
This was so amazing it brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely magical. So much talent and hard work went into this. God I miss playing my sax in an ensemble
The most in tune group of saxaphones ever.
You were once a baby too. Don't complain when you were the same.
It's so enjoyable, just watching them enjoy themselves on stage... THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY BE ON MY LIST OF FAVES
This is freaking awesome, especially the "guitar solo" part.
Loved it.
never know that there is a saxophone choir.. so nice to hear ..
The song gives me a happy-giggly feeling at the beginning but at 00:56 that feeling gets stronger and DAT baritone gives me so many chills
Clarinet is awesome.
That. Was. Completely. Mind-Bogglingly. AWESOME!!!!!!
Never would have thought this would work. Astounding how well it does.
Thank you. You've made my day.
this one deserves at least a million view :(
Just listening to this makes me very very happy.
absolutely stunning as a visual performance. I can't even begin to talk about the audio:)
Go baris and bass and contrabass low brass sax is smooth
This is really beautiful. The arrangement and the playing is fantastic.
Wow! Thank you all. That was super.
this is the best video i have ever seen in my life. Number one favorite on my list!!!!!! Oh my gosh yes!!!!!
wow, No skipping on stage! I must say, this was rather delightful to hear.
This was showed to me by my band teacher today.. I almost cried it's so good ._.
Beautiful! Loved everything about it! Wouldn't have changed a thing.
Thumbs up for ALL the saxes!!!!!!
Great job all!! You'd make Adolphe Sax PROUD!!
that part when the bari saxes start rocking out is fantastic! thats when it would be a good day to play bari xD
I didn’t know a saxophone choir was a thing but I appreciate this nonetheless
Wow. This is really amazing! Especially so many saxophonist together! AWESOME! :D
The saxophone is the most unique brass/ woodwinds instrument in my opinion.
The Queens never left my sense of music
Awesome just plain AWESOME!
Amazing. I’m a Tuba player and I just... wow
Brava! Such fantastic musicians! Thank you for posting!
That poor Contrabass who didn't even move once.
Tenors are the KINGS!
LOVED IT! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At one point they reminded me on the scene in Wayne's World where Wayne and his friends start headbanging in the car :D Brilliant cover :D
I got goosebumps after I finished reading this, then listened to the music closely
Contrabass is pretty awesome... this must've been difficult to throw together. It sounds great!
This is the greatest thing ever
I would give this 15 baritone saxes out of 1 base sax
I played alto for one year and have been playing tenor for three years
do I see the legendary tubax
Nah. The tubax looks like a bari with another whole bend in it so it's fairly compact, the big one here is a contrabass
Jackson Ledford the tubax is the contrabass just compact
***** the tubax is in Eb, you may look it up If you want
The contra in this video is an Eppelsheim Contrabass Saxophone in Eb if yiu wanted to research it :)
@@skylerhester6220 - Negatory, good buddy. The tubax has a narrower bore than a contrabass sax, and thus a different sound. I don't care for it.
That was absolutely fantastic!!!! GREAT JOB!
that just broke me up ! thank you x
Jolly well done! A great tribute~ Freddy would be proud!
Freddie, not Freddy.
temujin teh weird
He was talking about Krueger.
this is simply amazing. and i agree that contra is a BA saxophone
MM gives me chills i love it!
Sometimes word's are just not necessary?? As a professional saxophonist, I can say, "Well done...All of you!"
dude most of the time it sounds like violins...its amazing i love playing sax =3
How have I only just found this
Absolutely beautiful.....
Absolutely amazing
I wish i could find a group of saxes this in love with music at my school to do something like this on a smaller scale (I play Bari)
that's a great arrangement!!!
amazing tone , even when jumping and skipping
Fantastic
Tenors for melody!!!!! :D This makes me happy
music expresses what cannot be expressed by words
not me
2002+
AWESOME!
I thinks there is 18 people in this saxophone choir 4 soprano, 4 alto, 4 tenor, 4 Bari plus 1bass and 1 contrabass
Looks like there's also a sopranino and a soprillo.
i like how its 4 tenors 4 altos 4 bari's, 4 soprano's and 1 contrabass
Beautiful!! and I love the choreography!
IKR? Our instrument is so under appreciated. I know this guy, and when I told him I play the Tenor he says "Wait, IT'S A FAMILY!?" And I hate those stereotyping trumpet players.
I play bari sax, alto, and tenor and I love it so much! :D
You play the only saxophones that people care about, while I'm stuck with a small bore subcontrabass
Dude that must suck D: sorry dude Shining Armor
Shining Armor I mean if you're not happy with it I could take it off of your hands
Nah, I just hired a roadie to carry it around for me, and now I just play baritone and bass parts
That was awesome.
I play alto tenor and baritone and i thint that was the most amazing peice i have ever heard
while the whole dancing thing is stupid, I appreciate good sax music when I hear it and I have to say that this is the best sax sound I have ever heard!
OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS THIS IS GOOD.
