After copyright debates regarding this video, Nikitaventures Music who claims to own the content of this performance featuring @Dr Koncerthuset (Danish National Symphony Orchestra), has decided that this video is not an appropriate project using Fair Use. This is despite the 20+ hours of work and over 500% increase of added commentary and education when compared to the original video. They have given me a final notice to cancel my appeal on their claims (admitting that this video is not Fair Use) and then the video can remain on TH-cam. I will not submit to this. As a result, this video will be taken down on June 12, 2024 and my channel will receive another strike.
I am a one-woman "team" and have a faint voice in TH-cam's copyright dispute process as well as copyright owners. If you'd like to support, I've created a Google Form asking everyone to add their name as signatures as a way to support this Masterclass Video as Fair Use. It will also show that you appreciate the value of this video and the music education on the channel. Thank you in advance for your support.

Just a quick thought: Are they able to prove to you that they are indeed the publisher for that Danish Radio Production? Because there are a lot of bad actors out there that claim a lot of Videos despite not being the rightful owner of the copyright. Just a couple of weeks ago I was notified of claims against videos where a malicious actor claimed copyright to several music pieces while both the publisher for and the creator of the music had no idea this was going on and were actually quite furious that this was happening at all.
I signed the form, thank you!!!👌😘🎩
Signed and submitted. I have seen reaction videos where I thought the limits of Fair Use were being tested. This presentation is not among those, and I found it highly educational in relation to the music performed here. The fact that you haven't seen the movie made no difference. Sincere thanks, Jess!
Scusami,ma come italiano e come essere senziente non ammetto alcun diritto digitale che non venga richiesto dall'autore stesso,quindi essendo Ennio Morricone morto da circa 3 anni,non pagherei un solo cent alla SIAE (le sanguisughe italiane) ne a nessun'altro di coloro che si riempiono le tasche col sudore altrui,discorso diverso per gli eredi,ma sarei curioso di sapere a quanto corrisponde in soldoni la loro ricompensa ogni volta che viene eseguita un'opera di Ennio...
Done.
I normally hate it when reactors interrupt for too long or too much, but that you went and checked out the trailer and shared it with us was actually a pretty good move. Made me want to watch that movie again.
Someone once pointed out that the wah wah lady was wearing revolver earrings. I love that
Oh so she is!!!
I did not notice that. Thank you.
After watching 2000 reaction videos I think this "girl" is the first reactionist who actually knows what she's talking about. Excellent!
Can I ask why you have the word girl in inverted commas?
@@catherinemoran9037I guess because she rather seems to be a woman than a girl? 😉
@svenlima you should definitely watch Elisabeth Zharoff’s reaction too, then every possible analysis should be complete… nothing more to add. 👍
The confidence of declaring she does not know enough about the genre is a sign of a true proffesional.
Actually you don't have to be a professional musician to "know what you're talking about" - that's indeed a very weird comment. I bought the album with this film score in 1969 (my very first album) and although I am nowhere near being a musician I know how to appreciate this music. You don't have to dissect music in order to like it, you know - in the same way you don't have to be an author in order to appreciate a book. Got it?
I was lucky enough the be in the audience of the very last concerto of Maestro Ennio Morricone in Lucca, Italy in July 2019, since he passed an year later. To hear this music and many others directly from the baton of the Maestro himself and his orchestra was a mystic experience. Best concert I've ever attended to.
I was in Verona at the Arena in 2017 for the 60th anniversary tour. Seeing the legend himself on stage, with Susanna Rigacci, Dulce Pontes, an incredible choir and some amazing musicians and soloists, the venue itself, the mystical and out-of-this-world emotions you were feeling in those moments... best experience of my life
When Christine Nonbo Andersen, the soprano, sang this piece, she became instantly world famous. Her voice is amazing, and she now performs the world over.
I saw an interview where she said that this was actually her first performance with the Danish NSO.
Ms. Andersen has an amazing voice. The original was sung by Edda Dell'Orso, whose voice is also stunning.
@@ugaladh Yes, and she's very humble in the video and describes the emails she gets from fans around the world. I think how people reacted to her singing, took her by surprise. When I first saw and heard this video, I saw and heard an angel in the heavens. It hit me that hard.
Im so damn proud of our NSO, they are so insanely talented and in their catalogue are tons of movie and video game scores.. so so good
Should be!
The last 8 mins of this movie are some of the greatest that have ever been filmed
Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) and Sergio Leone (1929-1989) went to School together, they've known each other and were Friends their whole Life.
Morricone also composed classical Pieces besides approx. 500 Film- and Theaterscores...
He was THE Pioneer of using unconventional Instruments/Noises in Filmscores, like E-Guitar, whistling, Harmonica, Ocarina, Recorder etc.
The Untouchables' score was amazing.
The effect on the long note from the flute in the beginning is not a vibrato. It‘s called flutter tongue. It‘s basically a rolling R while holding the note. Often used on brass instruments.
Hard not to get a bit teary hearing this music now, grew up with these movies and Ennio's amazing music (The Mission).. One of the best.
Nobody answered your question, so as a pianist, I'll try to explain.
There's actually two simili : ./. and .//.
The first one is used to repeat one bar and is place in the middle of the bar after the one you are supposed to repeat.
The second one is used to repeat two bars at once and is placed on the seperation between the next two bars.
Gosh, that's where images are helpful ^^ great reaction of a great composer
Incredibly helpful, thank you!
@@jessicasopranonotesYour character description didn't match the trailer. The trailer said Tuco is the BAD and Angel Eyes is the UGLY!! ☮️
👏👏 Yes! I was almost afraid to come to the comments. I wanted to explain that but wasn't sure how I was going to say it without it being a long, unwieldy paragraph. @fabricepellet9105 said what I wanted to say, probably better than I could have said it.
- Trombone player and bass guitar player with lots of experience with repetitive parts, lol, but haven't played either in years.
@@allengray5748 Yes, but the trailer is wrong. Angel Eyes is the BAD, and Tuco is the UGLY.
@@robertstallings7820 Yep that's why half ass mentioned that! 😎
You get the impression these performers are enjoying themselves immensely. The make it seem like it's playtime for them. That applies especially for Tuva.
A sister who got it
And the pistol earrings just adds to it.
@@hhound4283as does the hanging man and Blondie at the end of the performance
Props for giving so much info on an epic movie and an epic performance ❤ Ennio Moricone... A genius ❤
I have seen this piece reviewed by different reactors. It is becoming one of my favorites. I am someone who plays viola for different ensembles and film music is becoming my favorite genre to play. First of all I applaud your analysis of the orchestra. You speak with knowledge that some other reactors have not displayed. It is wonderful.
I am like you, have only seen images and a scattering of scenes from this movie so I have never fully understand the plot. I enjoy the fact that you talked the plot. As I was listening to the plot I realize the soprano theme is for the final character----the GOLD. It is a beautiful siren song that calls to them. The fact it disappears into the ensemble is a symbol that the quest gets lost in the detours they take to get to it. It gets lost in the fights and the noise that happens on the quest.
Than you for the great reaction and analysis.
Thank you for your compliments and your insights. I will have to remember the Gold theme whenever I get a chance to watch the trilogy.
I recall myself around the age of 11 in some afternoons, in the early 70s, listening to this and some other pieces of Ennio Morricone from western movies, but the sound was not coming from our apartment because we had not a record player at the time. It was from the record player of three university students in the apartment just below us. Our apartments were facing to the west with a free view above the roofs of the other buildings. As a young boy I didn't know anything about Morricone yet or that these were soundtracks from western movies, but this music was so obviously related to cowboys and horse riders in the "far west", obvious even to a kid like I was, that while I was listening I stood still, looking to the sun setting, with my imagination flying. I was hearing the whip striking, I was seeing the back of the riders who wore leather vests, hopping on their saddles in a hurry, running towards the red horizon. I was frozen in an ecstasy. I was so thrilled that I was thinking when I grow up "and be rich" the first thing I'll do will be to buy that player thing and the records, and I will play them all day long. That was a boy at a time where no mobile phones existed, no internet, no google or youtube, just vinyl record players, radio, and cinemas. Thank you Ennio Morricone for these invaluable trips and memories.
The Orchestration is absolutely Brilliant here. Incredible. Also My hat is off to the Audio Engineers'. Mic Placement , Mixing, Dynamic Range and Timbre on all the instruments' is nothing short of phenomenal, There's a recorder type wood flute and an ocarina playing lead lines in there too. Slap Stick which can grab your fingers sounding like a whip.(Nice Touch) Electric Harmonica and vocal's are mixed on the wah-wah. When I played MT as a Percussionist if I had a repetitive part that repeated over and over I would just notate the score with a repeat number and count it out. Saved alot of ink. Bolero was the same except you needed the entire score there because of the dynamic markings parts notation you needed to follow. I retired before IPADS became a thing and usually had two books with clothes pins and a wire in front of me with hanging score sheets. Watching the conductor on a small TV monitor was loads of fun too while in an isolation booth or under the stage lol
Anyway I digress...This orchestra is one of the best I've heard and can play everything from serious Classical, Movie Themes to games and cartoon music. Good reaction to a really super talented group of musicians. Oh One more thing that helped me a lot was something I called the " Go Machine" which produced a click track that we played too. It had many counter functions besides producing a click track . You always could set it to keep track of every time a repetitive beat came around to the first beat of a measure. You always knew where you were as too how any times you played it . It also kept track of the line numbers in the score. Less panic that way 🙂
Jess, I hope you watch "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". You probably won't like the violence in it, but the acting and the script in the Clint Eastwood movies are wonderful, imho.
The best westerns every made are those by Sergio Leone. And the best of them is probably Once Upon a Time in the West.
@@Nikioko Completely agree with you!
The wind instrument at the beginning is a recorder., like in baroque music.. The second section is titled 'The Ecstacy' of Gold'
The other wind instrument is an ocarina, it is a type of vessel flute.
I used to think the recorder was just for torturing children in music class, but surprisingly it can actually sound good.
@@Valjean666dk I played the recorder in grade school. It can sound quite lilting and ethereal. I learned to play it quite well. I wanted to learn the violin, but my mother knew a violin would require many years of lessons and practice and upgrades, and we were poor. The recorder was my consolation instrument....and the school provided it at no charge :)
I play a recorder at a small amateur orchestra (mostly baroque music for recorders and strings) and when I saw the questions in this analysis I tried to replicate the vibrato sound. We normally play with no vibrato at all so this might be why I could not do much. But the only way I could do something resembling that huge vibrato like that guy did on the last high note was by fluttering my tongue. Not sure if that was how he did it or if he can control just his breath to that degree.
In dutch a "recorder" is called blokfluit don't ask me why.
When Segio Leone (The Director) was making his movies, the Music was already written and finaly recorded by Enio. Then Sergio plays the music on set when they where filming the scenes. This makes some scenes much more intense also for the actors when they where acting so they get in a special mood which helps to create a huge immersion for the audience when they see the the movie in cinemas. This is one technic which make Sergio Leones Films so special. He only made 10 films. Everyone is a masterpiece. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is the third film of the so called Dollar Trilogy. (A Fistful of Dollars, A few Dollars more, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly)
Add "Once Upon A Time In The West."
Jess' reaction channel deserves a lot more subscribers! She reminds me of the art historian Ernest Gombrich who said to a student of painting: "Actually, I see a little more."
I agree! She is to music what Sister Wendy was to art......
Gombrich. A name from a 51 year old past when I was studying art at school. Being given The Story of Art to read was a substitute for the teacher teaching art history.
I'm 69 and I still have Gombrich's Story of Art from high school
Morricone was king of matching the music with the film in a way that was exciting, appropriate and just genuinely good music in and of itself. Genius.
🇨🇦 The DNSO has over 70 Choir members and over 100 Musicians !
They often hold outdoor concerts in summer with well known invited guests !
One of these, you should react to, is the 2006 concert with Procol Harum ! Best song suggestion is "A whiter shade of pale" !
P.S. notice that the Soprano (Christine) was without a 'close' mic ! 🇨🇦
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006: th-cam.com/video/St6jyEFe5WM/w-d-xo.html
Regarding the 'close' mic - I am not certain what specifically a 'close' mic is, but following 26:41 we can see that she has a mic by her ear. Especially the shadow is clearly seen. That mic seems quite close to me, but I am not familiar enough with the subject to determine if that is considered a 'close' mic.
When Sergio and Ennio started working together, they realized that they were schoolmates.
2 geniuses who changed their genres forever.
Jess, I've watched dozens of reactions to this piece, and I have NEVER seen anyone put as much analysis into this as you did. I learned SO MUCH MORE because of that, and I now appreciate this piece more than before. Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge of the craft.
Please do watch the movie. It's the third in a trilogy known as the dollars trilogy. 1. A fistful of Dollars. 2. For a Few Dollars More. 3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
A couple of years after the final movie was released, the director, Sergio Leone, released what is widely hailed as his masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West. The music in that movie, as well as the cinematography, storytelling, and acting performances, make it a longtime favorite for people of all generations. You will most likely find a genre you never knew you needed.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I do look forward to someday watching the entire trilogy 🤗
Love this performance, never tire of it.
Great reaction! I have seen so many other reactions to this piece but yours is the best by far.
The best review of this that I’ve seen…. and I’ve seen hundreds….. thanks.
when an extraordinary piece of music meets an extraordinary orchestra magic happens
Excellent review and analysis! I found it very interesting! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great analysis as always! To answer your question around the 19:45 mark regarding similes (or just repeats as they are also commonly called), what you showed on screen means repeat the previous one measure. It’s a shorthand to save space on the page, and should be treated as if the preceding measure was written again. (i.e. same notes, rhythms, articulations, markings, etc)
There is a separate symbol to repeat the previous two measures like you referred to. However, in the example you showed on screen you would only repeat the one measure. (you can google “music notation 2 bar repeat” if you’re curious)
(Source: I’m a percussionist/drummer/composer/engraver)
Thank you!!
God I love this rendition.
It’s my favorite, even including the arrangements/versions I played in high school and college.
I was happy to see the 33 minute length for this. Kinda bummed, though, that all 33 went by so fast. Thanks, Jess.
That was one of the best reactions I’ve witnessed. Too many might’ve written this off as their grandfathers western. But you marveled at the symphonic elements to make such a production. I loved it!
No one's explanations and analyses has come close to yours. BRAVA!!!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Yes the soprano there at the mezzanine ,give a voice cames from unknow and far away like in the movie . What a beautiful interpretation i will never forget .
Best reaction to this performance. Kudos.
At this concert, the themes for "A Fist Full Of Dollars" and "For A Few Dollars More." Both of them are great pieces.
That trailer got the "bad" and the "ugly" messed up. It showed Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) is introduced him as the "The Ugly", even though he was "The Bad", and Tuco as "The Bad", even though he was "The Ugly" in the movie.
Weel, I did it again. This song is going to play in my head for at least a day. My opinion is that this is Morricone done right, not just the a bit budget restricted soundtrack in the movie. My hat's off to the Danish National Symphony orchestra.
Only a day, I can’t stop watching it, it’s perfect in every possible way.
You got to see this film. So good. One of the best films ever made.
Sergio Leone
The “wah wah “ lady is Tuva Semmingsen, a mezzo with an incredible voice, which is definitely not on display in this piece, but she does feature prominately in many other Danish National Orchestra productions.
Tuva is an amazing singer.
the singers are Swedish & Norwegian.......THE CONDUCTOR IS AMERICA & has conducted all over the world.
She is great singing Who Wants to Live Forever
She was great - where can we see more?
@@rickpat-x9u The soprano is danish.
Thank you. Your comments were amazing. We need to remember that this was a spaghetti western - that equals no money. I have been amazed at the intricacy of musical intimacy that was created on a very (no really no money) low budget film. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra just blows it away. Wah, Wah - where does that whistle come from. And the soprano is amazing. The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly was and is the epitome of production for a western.
Thank you so much. I have watched this video at least 200 times. You have pointed out things I never noticed.
The movie and the music is a perfect fit.
One of the GREATEST westerns of ALL TIME!
Excellent review, love Tuva and Christine.
You should watch the movie. It is epic. This music is some of the cleverest, best written music of all time.
I love your facial expressions! Expressive faces always bring me joy.
The "flute" is actually a Recorder. Don't know how it works in the US, but here in the UK, LOTS of kids get taught (or used to) to play recorder at primary school, because it's relatively easy and cheap for parents to buy. You should definitely watch The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It's a superb exercise in stylish movie making, and so iconic in it's day that people my age find it really jarring when people your age say they've never seen it. Another thing you might like (it'd make a good reaction video too) is the cover of this theme by The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain. Yes, that's what I said, and yes, it's a real and very wonderful thing...😉
Seconded, for the Ukulele Orchestra .
Concur on the Uke Orchestra and add the Spaghetti Western Orchestra to the list.
Also, a Recorder (learned it in Music in grade school here in the US back in the '70s) is just a variation of Baroque Flute, as the Ocarina is known as a Sweet Potato commonly.
In dutch a "recorder" is called blokfluit don't ask me why.
Also,the Trinity Films,are worth
a view,same Director, I think 🤔
A recorder is a flute. A fipple flute, to be precise.
Not sure if anyone has already posted this, but unfortunately you got quite a bit wrong. You kept mentioning toms at the beginning but it’s not toms, it’s a snare drum with the snares disengaged. The “flute” you mentioned and listed isn’t a flute, it’s a “Recorder” and the vibrato you spoke about isn’t vibrato, it’s a quite rarely used technique employed by wind and brass players called “flutter tonguing”. It’s created similar to how one rolls their “R’s” when speaking certain languages. The “simile” symbol is repeat the previous bar, if more than one bar is required then the repeat bar line symbols are used. You also missed the most important role of the conductor, which is to interpret the score and rehearse the orchestra to perform that stylistic interpretation.
I absolutely love your search for understanding of the music and arrangement by going back to the trailer of the original movie. So much better than the reactors I have gone to to keep my appreciation of Enrico Marconi's masterpiece alive in me. It refreshed your own refreshed sample. Please continue the presenting of the original from the cover
Thank you for your breakdown and analysis of this piece, I've seen it multiple times before, and you opened my eyes and ears to aspects that I hadn't noticed before.
My pleasure!
Well, I just fell in love with a new channel. I paused this one to find one of you singing. Lady, that voice is a weapon! As a, lets say, neurospicy individual, the math of music is always very soothing to me, but your tone and projection was like a physical blanket of peace big and strong enough to wrap my near two meters entirely. Opera gets me down in the soul bits sometimes and you have got the magic.
edit: also, I'm a big enough man to say this piece makes me shed actual tears. Ennio is a story teller; no doubt.
Ennio Morricone è un genio
I love this movie and its music, both Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone are true masters of their professions.
You did a great job analyzing this masterpiece, i love it!❤
First time viewer and i have to say.
I love how you break down every part and explain what everything does and how it impacts the musical piece
You have to watch the movie! It's a masterpiece. And you gonna enjoy the music even more if you know the story it enhances.
I felt like I was back in my favourite music class, thank you! You forgot to mention the command performance of the rest notes by the hanging man however😌
Fantastically thorough analysis. Thank you.
Glad that I'm not the only one who didn't know what an ocarina is. The lovely wind instrument solo in the Ectasy of Gold section is an English horn, a double reed instrument with a lower range than an oboe and a higher range than a bassoon, easily identified by the curve between the reed and the instrument. The other unidentified instrument is part of the percussion section, and is known as the chimes, more popularly known as tubular bells (as in Michael Oldfield). Also, check out Tuva's singing in the other spaghetti western pieces by the DNSO.
A perfect blend of music and film. Nicely done
Great reaction. This movie is and always has been my favorite movie. I wish you did movie reactions. I still get emotional when I hear the music from this film. Ennio was the Master. Thank you.
I wish you were my bestie for live concerts of all genre. But since you are not, i dig hell outa your reactions as next best thing. Thank you for being you!
Best analysis of the DNSO video I've come across. But Eli Wallach is "The Bad", Van Cleef is "The Ugly".
Now THIS is a reaction I can get behind! - Good job!
I enjoyed your commentary along with the performance.
This is the best review I have seen of this music, this lady knows her stuff and held my interest all th way through. Now review the same orchestra doing the Wonder Woman theme.
Beginning with the Piano and Oboe, the Score is written for the Climatic Showdown of the 3 Principal Characters that truly has a non-verbal build-up with them facing eachother that runs about 4 minutes long... And it works beautifully...
The guy you saw hanging from a rope had been a member of the chorus who arrived late for practice more than three times. He shall be missed ...
Thank you Jess!! I haven't been to your channel for a while but I'm very happy to be back!! You are still grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!!!
Welcome back and thank you very much!
Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite composers and I have a lot of his movie scores.
I'm very happy this video is still up.
It was a pleasure listening to your breakdown.
check out patricia janeckova singing 'ecstasy of gold' from the same film & also her version of, 'once upon a time in the west', another spaghetti western, when she was 12!! you are probably aware that patricia died last october from breast cancer aged 25!
you should also listen to her brilliant rendition of, 'quel guardo il cavaliere', which she recorded just before she was diagnosed with cancer!!
Thank you Soprano Notes, I agree, incredible performance by the conductor (I think I'll have to go back and study her some more!).
Watching the trailer and hearing the theme there was a stroke of genius. I think I need to follow.
Absolutely fantastic review. You are so attentive and articulate and your musical appreciation shines through. I look forward to watching your channel. ❤️👍
This is the 2nd time really watching this video. I like this video, it was informative, I grew up on this movie and the other two in the series. Your comments and explanations were great
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
You go girl, best reaction ever to this production. Personally, i always feel my passion rising every time i here this. Thank you for helping teach us a little more.
As a big fan of the movies and the music, I've watched these movies hundred of times, and
I can tell that this version performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra,
is one of the most accurate and close to the original from the movie.
They've managed to add all the small sounds and unusual instruments to make it true to the original.
This one is a classic but my favorite is 'For a few dollars more'.
Imo, the GBU is not only the best western of all time, but is my favorite movie of all time.
In regard to the question about the simile, I offer the following:
When you see a simile on a drum sheet music, it means to play the bars before it in a similar way. If the simile appears at the end of a section, it typically means to repeat that section in a similar way.
A simile is typically used to indicate a repeating pattern, such as a fill or rhythm. It can also be used to indicate a specific technique, such as drags or rolls.
I hope that is of some help (from an very old rock drummer of the 60s).
This was filmed in Spain. The cemetery was starting to crumble and they decided to redo it as it was in the movie. One of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made.
This is the best reaction I've seen on this. Love the interaction with the trailer and your explanations to the music, you really spent time doing research and that is really appreciated.🙂 When you actually watch the movies (They are a trilogy) you notice that the actors with dialogue do not match the words except for the three main characters that is because all the other actors were Italian so their script was written in Italian and the English was dubbed in.
I have watched reaction videos many times on this song and you have done it the BEST using the trailer. I watched this in the theaters when I was a young man in the 60s and I am watching it now as a man in my 70s as an old man Thank you
WOW -- what a fabulous, informed reaction. Spectacular, Jess. By far the best response I've seen to this performance. You certainly provide a masterclass analysis!
Wow, thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Sorry to say dear but your general cultural knowledge can’t be complete unless you watch these Leone/Clint few movies . It s a must do in a left time and the better the sooner. Please start now.
Morricone‘s music are always exquisite in these spaghetti western movies and is much part of the whole films.
The trailer mixes up the bad and the ugly.... Ee-lie (long e-l-long i) Eli Wallach was also in The Magnificent 7. I love that you actually got technical in the analysis. I'm not a muscian, but I know what I like and sometimes it's nice to know the why you like something.
Well Done. I have watched this performance some 50 times. Many are reactions. By far your reaction taught me many things. Many blessings and good luck to you.
Absolute Amazing!!!
Excellent musical analysis!
Just saw them last weekend at the fabulous DR Konserthus preforming X Games with Eivor as guest vocalist. Sarah Hicks the conductoris is American. The Danish National Symphony orchestra and Choir rated as the nr #1 Symphony Orchestra last year. Top level, Going again in August for The Hollywood film Soundtrack performance.
Love you Jess brains and beauty. Hoping you'll do another Rush reaction. Loved the 2 you've done.
I am working with another musician to put together my next RUSH reaction. It will take a bit of time since sound engineering is a big part of the final video process. But I look forward to when i can begin the project 😊
The music in the movie is so big, it's actually a character in the movie. It never would've been as big as it was without the soundtrack.
EXCELLENT review, enjoyed this.
DNSO is part of DR - the first Danish radio- and television station, going back to the 1920s. It's their orchestra and at the same time it's our national symphony orchestra. DR is funded via TV licence and is a public station entity. They have several choirs, like boys, girls and the ones you see here. They also have a big band and others.
*Was* funded by TV license.
Pr. 2022 the TV license was phased out and DR has since then been funded via taxes.
So if you are still paying for the old TV license (medielicens) then you are being scammed.
You should do a "First Time Watching Reaction" for all four Spaghetti Westerns, "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time In the West". All were scored and directed by Ennio Morricone. I would love to see your "reaction" to the MUSIC and how it works with the scenes in each of the movies.
I actually have the theme music as ring tone on my phone absolutely love it
Ennio Morricone was probably the best film music composer ever, who unfortunately received only late accolade with the Oscar for his score for The Hateful Eight.
Your reaction to the end of the trailer Priceless.
