I was just six years old in Hungary, before the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, my father would play this piece by Glenn Miller whenever we wanted to experience true American music. Glenn Miller, an epitome of a genuine American composer and orchestra leader, left an indelible mark on my childhood. As I closed my eyes to prevent tears, these talented young musicians brought back beautiful memories. I loved listening to their sounds, reminiscent of the fantastic Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Their parents must be so incredibly proud of them! I've heard the U.S. Air Force Glenn Miller Revue and these kids were even better than them!! I got cold chills listening to First Clarinet absolutely nail it!! Great job, young people!!! ❤❤❤❤
These high school kids are so amazing. Their performances are so professional. They have their golden time as young musicians. I love this song and keep listening.
I can’t believe what I’m hearing from these wonderful and extremely talented young people. That pretty little Clarinet player sounds just like Willy Schwartz, Glenn Miller’s lead Clarinet player in his great big band. I can’t stop listening to them playing “ Moonlight Serenade “. What a great sound. JoePep
Wow!! Simply amazing, these children are spot on!! The girl playing the clarinet was sensational!! Glenn Miller would be rivaled by her excellence! This was a rare treat to listen to. Thank you so much.
Fantastic and it finally came true. So far you are the only ones who have understood what the Glenn Miller sound on "Moonlight Serenade" really consists of. The sound technology could have recorded the concert better. I am an absolute Glenn Miller fan. But so far I've only cried with this Song with "Glenn Miller Original" and when I saw you. I heard it here on TH-cam. I congratulate. A brilliant performance!!!!!!
I have listened to these young people, playing Glen's music, and they play it JUST LIKE Glenn's ORIGINAL band did...even better than the NEW GLENN MILLER BIG BAND. (They louse it up when they do the special parts.) THESE YOUNG FOLK, DON'T !!! THEY PLAY IT NOTE FOR NOTE, perfect! I sit and listen whit a big lump in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes, each time I hear these kids playing! I made a comment 9 months ago, but I wanted to state THIS one. THANKS TO YA ALL !!!🌹❤
To the young Ladies and Gentlemen of BFJO, you have honored this great song with your superb skill and perfect artistic interpretation of its spirit and times. I am in tears, thank you and God bless you.
And I thought I was this song’s youngest fan!! It was introduced to me in 1980 by my grandfather when I was 12. I’m 54 now-that’s how long I enjoyed it. I still do.
What a beautiful ensemble sound this fine orchestra make. The musicianship is superb, and the cameraderie between the sections and individually is what keep this music alive, almost a hundred year after it was first recorded. Gret music and just like a lot of listeners, it makes my eyes water with emotion listening to it. This is fine Art. Thank you kindly members of the orchestra.
I was looking for the original cover, but this is the only group that stayed true and loyal to Glenn's piece. Respect to you guys and the conductor of this group!
This was my parent's music...as their kid, listening to their tunes...this was one of my favorites. This group needs to be on recordings...they're that good!
Admirable interpretación y el respeto por la sublime melodía de un gran músico de un país que protagonizó una rivalidad en la II G. M. con esta gran nación del Sol Naciente. Felicidades a BFJO por esta majestuosa expresión a la universalidad de la música, que trasciende fronteras y tiempos y al Fabuloso Capitan Alton Glenn Miller..
Outstanding. Very, very well done. This music was popular when our countries were at war. I am so grateful that we are at peace, and your excellent playing of this music is a demonstration and a celebration of our friendship. Thank you for sharing this music and your talent, skill, and fellowship with us. God bless you from the USA.
Perfection . Been looking for sharp , crisp recording of Glenn Miller tunes , the original recordings are great but what i could find sounded muffled like listening with a pillow over your ears and lacked presence . Others that were played by modern orchestras were great but tended to add their own musical flourishes to the music and that ruined the experience for me . This was unadulterated perfection and stayed true to Glenn's original arrangements . Thank you , i will enjoy many hours of listening to your rendition while driving and sitting in traffic . 😎
Besides "unadulterated perfection", it is truly a joy watching and hearing teenage talented musicians, mostly all girls deliver the sound of the high profile adult male only orchestra. Outstanding band, perfect nostalgic sound from a group of a very beautiful youthful ladies and a young man. Worth listening to and watching over and over.
You couldn't know what's in my mind, but you wrote it just like I feel. The NEW GLENN MILLER BIG BAND does pretty good, but, like you say, they change the special parts when they stand up. That kills it for me and I wrote a comment on their video, that they are honoring perfect music. It ain't broke, so don't fix it! I told them that they were slapping Glenn in the face when they purposely louse it up like that, and I wasn't going to listen to them again! These young people play Glenn's music better than Tex Benekie's direction of Glen's band, after he was lost by friendly fire over the English Channel. These kids have the real SPIRIT !!! Thank you for your comment. I fully agree with you.
This was exceptional, tears filled my eyes within the first few notes. It's mesmerizing how they were able to channel the spirit of Mr. Miller. High marks also go to the unseen person that conducted and guided this group. Bravo!!!
This is one of the songs we played at my Mother’s funeral service. It was one of her all time favorites. So nice to see these young people playing such a classic old tune from the 40s.
My father knew Major Glenn Miller personally from his time as an MP while stationed in England in 1944. On several occasions he went with Glenn while they performed at military bases in England. One time they almost had a mid-air collision with a B-17 that ignored landing instructions. Of all the songs that Major Miller played, this one always made my father think of home the most. That being said Olga, I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. Likewise, I am sure that Ray McKinley would agree with you 100 percent. He was a wonderful friend of mine.
I can not believe what I am listening to, almost a perfect copy of Glenn, Great talent, I LOVE to see the youth doing GREAT things like this, REAL MUSIC.
Mark, I understand your comment on the fau par by Jim, but he is right! If you are to look at all these kids bands and yes its kids. The main members are female! It’s without question that the girls are the leading light in High School Bands and such like and I for one think it is brilliant and well done Japan to let this happen. I have three daughters and I would be hestatic if it were they playing , but in the UK we are not interested at school to pursue as a school activity, only football football football and we spend millions on it.
Non si può dire altro che eccellenti Bravissimi questi ragazzi,meravigliosa musica ogni volta che l'ascolto provo una grande emozione ,adoro Glenn Miller ❤
Such a beautiful sound Such talented musicians I listen to this everyday because it reminds me of my father and how he enjoyed the big band sound. Suka led so eloquently and brought a tear to my eye. Can't thank this band enough for uniting the memory of my dad and myself. Thank you ❤️
Hi I have been a staunch Glenn Miller fan all my life I f Glenn could see these young musicians playing his music he would be so pleased and proud I am sure iam in the twilight of my days and I remember the real thing.
I am 77yo and have always loved the music of long ago yesteryear. Beguine the begin has also always been a special favourite of mine. My hat off to these wonderful young Asians, playing what would be essentially music not in line with their culture. A GREAT JOB. My thanks for sharing.
I remember in the '60s watching the movie behind this song. He kept rehearsing and rehearsing till he finally got that distinct sound. The clarinet really sticks out and and practically makes the song to me.
I'm plumb tickled...listening to these young folks playing REAL MUSIC !!! I figured out what I was missing. The PIANO parts weren't in there. Thanks for a great rendition of Glen's music. I had tears in my eyes when the clarinetist ran that quick scale into the tune and everybody stood up together for the final! Glenn Miller is smiling, where ever he is! Bill, from TN. 🇺🇸
Tränen in meinen Augen! Ganz tolles Kino! Selten so was Tolles gehört! Ein ganz großes Lob an die Leiterin! (Klarinette)! Einfach nur "herzerwärmend" in dieser Scheiß-Zeit! Toller "Glenn-Miller-Sound"! (Selbst wenn man bedenkt, daß dieser "Sound" durch ein Mißgeschick entstanden ist!) Wissen aber die wenigsten!
Haven't heard a better rendition of this classic, that by the way, changed music in America at that time, in a long long time. In my seventies and thought it was excellent.
coming back for yuka-chan's clarinet. ^_^ everyone plays so heartful. strong personalities, else it could not sound so rich and beautiful. wish them so much happiness. they made listeners happy.
Absolutely. My goodness was that a brilliant cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. The arrangement was done by Glenn impromptu due to the failure of some of his band members showing up for a show. The sound was unique and people loved it. Glenn had finally found his "sound". His pre-1939 recordings had sounded like any other band of the day.
I'm 81 and I actually cried listening to these wonderful young people keeping the classics alive.
Ken, I’m 70 and this is my parents music. But I dig it and like you, I cry when I hear it.
Musica sublime orchestra
T formidabile ciao dall italia 😀😀😀😀😀
Me too…
I hope i make it that far 😕
I hear this and think of My Dad talking about listening to Glenn Miller during WW II.
今から30年前の結婚式の時にかけたムーンライトセレナーデ♪
その妻が30代の時、癌でこの世を去り😢
私の両親の協力のもと、2人の娘の子育てにがむしゃらでした。
2人の娘を大学卒業させた時、この動画を見て思わず号泣😂
学生の皆さんが頑張ってる姿
とても感動しました😂
The only band to even get close to Glenn Miller's sound, Glenn would be proud of these kids.
Close your eyes and let be swayed by the music. You could never guess this was played by those so young.
I’m 82 and these young kids will never know what this music means to my generation. God Bless them!
What a great sound, I've been a Glenn Miller fan for more than 60 years, and these youngsters make an old man so happy!
Would like to see them do "In the mood ". ( Glenn Miller tune) .
I was just six years old in Hungary, before the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, my father would play this piece by Glenn Miller whenever we wanted to experience true American music.

Your comment brought tears to my 71 year old eyes. I've listened to big band music my whole life and Glenn Miller was my favorite. Then Benny Goodman.
I’m only 53, but my grandpa was a ww2 vet and always played Glenn miller….. great video. The clarinet soloist is awesome👍
I'm sobbing. I can only imagine how many grandparents in the audience were crying, too.
I’m one of them! agree!
Over 85 here and it took years to understand why my mother was listening to this on the radio and crying when my father was away in WWII.
They really had the Glenn Miller sound down to perfection. Nearing 80 yrs and it’s still the best music of all.
This music is absolutely timeless! These students are unbelievable. Well done!
Incredibly beautiful sound and talent. Glenn Miller in the heaven smiling.❤
信じられないほど美しいサウンド、才能！作曲者のグレン・ミラーも天国で微笑んでいると思います。😊
These high school kids are so amazing. Their performances are so professional. They have their golden time as young musicians. I love this song and keep listening.
The chromatic smear on the clarinet by the young lady was very good..She and the entire band are excellent. Bravo...
Very good little musician!
I'm a former trombone player and a die hard Miller fan and this sounds just like the Miller orchestra did; well done.
I can’t believe what I’m hearing from these wonderful and extremely talented young people. That pretty little Clarinet player sounds just like Willy Schwartz, Glenn Miller’s lead Clarinet player in his great big band. I can’t stop listening to them playing “ Moonlight Serenade “. What a great sound. JoePep
The style...so painfully beautiful and done so beautiful that Glenn Miller would be proud!
When they stood, I felt the tears coming. The Clarinet player is fabulous.
I like to think Peanuts Hucko would approve.
@@RobertWPaine I'm certain that Glenn Miller would approve. And shed a tear.
Yes, she is simply amazing!! Glenn Miller would be honored to hear her play.
Wow!! Simply amazing, these children are spot on!! The girl playing the clarinet was sensational!! Glenn Miller would be rivaled by her excellence! This was a rare treat to listen to. Thank you so much.
こんなに綺麗で優しいムーンライトセレナーデは聴いた事がありません。
時々無性にこの演奏を聴きたくなり、もう100回くらい聴いていますが、目が潤む時もあります。
同じように聴かれてる方が世界中におられる事でしょう。
素晴らしいです！
I agree!
I am one of them. ❤

So glad to see young people keeping this music alive. I play Moonlight Serenade a lot. It always makes me smile.

It was the #1 clarinetist herself. Watch her all the times the camera is on her, especially at the end. Her director wand IS her instrument.
The clarinet was beautiful. I could never get this sound when I played eons ago. Great job!
Wow, what a talented group of young musicians! Serious, dedicated and keeping this classic music alive! Thanks a million.
Wow! Glad to see these young ones taking on this classic tune...
cicyouth
I feel absolutely the same
This is one of the songs we played at my Mother’s funeral service. It was one of her all time favorites. So nice to see these young people playing such a classic old tune from the 40s.
OMG, this is so awesome! A 1940s classic, I love it. Glenn Miller would have been so pleased.

Damn they sound good. I played clarinet 50 years ago, but never sounded as good as this.
I am crying. I cannot believe. I love Japan and its people.the Japanese are and wiil be the best in everything
Wonderful musicians - thank you.
Beautiful! Clarinet lead over the saxes. Glenn Miller would be proud!
A dreamier version of Glenn Miller's great. Good going, ladies.
Jim Porter - I bet the young guy playing the saxophone on the front row to our left of the clarinet appreciates the comment! 😄👍🙏🎶🇬🇧

Can't thank this band enough for uniting the memory of my dad and myself. Thank you ❤️
Nice comment and agree！
So beautiful and so young! Brings back so many memories. Love, love, love!
The sax section's tone is so fitting for this piece, well done to all the performers as well.
Even in their young age this group of performers are professionals, WOW ,the late GLENN MILLER WILL be Delighted wherever he may.
Hi I have been a staunch Glenn Miller fan all my life I f Glenn could see these young musicians playing his music he would be so pleased and proud I am sure iam in the twilight of my days and I remember the real thing.

I always admire people especially young ones who can read musical notes and play music "big band style". More power to you, guys!

SO very lush and gorgeous.

I remember in the '60s watching the movie behind this song. He kept rehearsing and rehearsing till he finally got that distinct sound. The clarinet really sticks out and and practically makes the song to me.
I'm like you! the movie has been so attractive! still now!
Wilber Schwartz, was Glenn's Clarinetist. Glenn met him when he played with the Ben Pollock Big Band.
Glenn Miller would be very proud. This gave me goose bumps!
Amazingly beautiful just like the Glenn Miller Band!
Very talented kids! Very well done! Keep up the good work- team Imaike!
Awesome rendition by these kids. Truly very professional.
Fantastic music...sound "Glen Miller". Talent orchestra
I am 64 and love Big Band! This is my favorite Glen Miller song!
I am crying. I cannot believe. I love Japan and its people.
Beautiful rendition. The young lady clarinettist is very talented. Great to see the musicianship is still around. Bravo!
I had chills during the whole performance
Brilliant cover
Lovely. Yes GM would have been proud of this group of talented musicians. Thank you.
I can never get enough of listening to Yuma playing the Clarinet or Saxophone.
Es ist so krass die jungen Musiker zuzuhören.Man denkt sofort an Glenn Miller , aber man hört keinen Unterschied.....Einfach WUNDERBAR...... Danke....

Haven't heard a better rendition of this classic, that by the way, changed music in America at that time, in a long long time.
In my seventies and thought it was excellent.
coming back for yuka-chan's clarinet. ^_^
everyone plays so heartful. strong personalities, else it could not sound so rich and beautiful.
wish them so much happiness. they made listeners happy.
Wow,if you close your eyes you would think your at a Glenn Miller performance at Glenn Island casino or something in 1940
Yes, the Casino at Catalina Island.
Absolutely. My goodness was that a brilliant cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. The arrangement was done by Glenn impromptu due to the failure of some of his band members showing up for a show. The sound was unique and people loved it. Glenn had finally found his "sound". His pre-1939 recordings had sounded like any other band of the day.
I know, right? Just perfectly reproduced, by ASIAN kids no less!
@@josephconsoli4128 are you sure that is why he did the arrangement?
@@jordanbusby6231 absolutely. It's a well known fact. Glen had no idea that night before he went on that he found his sound.
So very much like the original. Clarinet is great. Miller would be delighted.
Indeed!
Great performance of the bandleader to teach this to his young players in such a quality. Excellent !
interest in mid 20th century American Jazz, from cultures all across the globe is a tribute to the men and women who created this
Glen Miller...a clarinet lead...simply brilliant
Es increíble, fascinante escuchar a estos jóvenes. Saludos de Ecatepec Edo México
overwhelming greetings from Germany
Impressive. That music will live forever.
It is amazing to me that these kids keep more of America’s music heritage alive then do our own children with their rap.
These kids are amazing! VERY WELL DONE!
That was absolutely wonderful!
