0:19 -- 0:53 ♬ Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long before we knew we could ♬
very beautiful indeed! a chinese tune is being played by a western orchestra, now this is something new! :D and they did it beautifully! more beautiful than many of the renditions i've heard!
It was originally arranged by Mao Yuan for symphony orchestras in the early 1950's. The adaptation for Chinese traditional instruments was done later around 1953 by Peng XiuWen.
I really like both versions of the song (Eastern and western). However, I especially like the use of ergo in the eastern version and the use of trumpets at 4:06 in the western version
It's funny that a lot of people here are remarking that this piece sounds amazing despite being performed with 'Western instruments.' The reality of it being the piece was originally a collaboration composition with the intention of a Western orchestra playing it.
I know it was originally composed for Western Instruments, but I own a recording on Guzheng performed by Bing Xia and it is magical to hear it on a traditional instrument.
The best western orchestra version I ever been listened before! Even the chinese orchestra that I'm conducting now can't do as well as the western version. But both of them are different kind of style of music characteristics, I really love both beautiful version of 'Dance of the Yao'.
Well, I hope the uploader will add on the information. Anyway the information (song title, composers, conductor and orchestra) are already in the video (0:21). Is Peng Jiapeng related to Peng Xiuwen? Maybe their surname made you think so? No. They have different family background and education background, but both are/were great musician with great achievements in Chinese music development. You can google for more infor:)
+Janelle Wong No. We have to dampen the note there. There is a cut. And usually at a long note, we dampen the drum just a bit earlier then the orchestra so that we don't stick out.
I'm sorry correct me if I'm wrong, he did dampen it at 7:21 slightly earlier than the orchestra, but at 7:18 he paused the tremolo for like 0.1 second then carried on, to me it seems like he thought it was supposed to be as short as the three previous long notes.
了不起的作品！！！向作者致敬！
0:19 -- 0:53 ♬ Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could ♬
When you believe Stephen Schwartz was not influenced by this song, it is indeed a miracle.
Yep. I noticed the same. Now we know where it came from.
@@FlorianIrsiglera couple bars might be a miracle but this many? Maybe his past life was one of the composers
In fact, this piece is good for both Chinese and Western orchestra.
听了这么多版本，还是感觉交响乐版的最好听。
虽然我是吹竹笛的，听民乐听起来非常亲切，但是不知道为啥，民乐交响化时，老是觉得有几丝杂乱的声音。听这首瑶族舞曲的民乐版时感觉更甚。
但听交响乐就感觉很纯净，小提琴清脆，长笛空灵，声音很完美。
也有可能我第一次听瑶族舞曲就是小提琴版的，先入为主吧。
我最喜欢的音乐仍然是中国民乐。
本身瑶族舞曲创作就是西方管弦乐而作的。后来这指挥的父亲彭修文改编成了民乐版。
+周学彬 我也觉得民族乐队的和声效果不佳，听着很嘈杂，我觉得最完美的是管弦乐队加几件solo的民族乐器。
但本身民族乐器把瑶族人民节日欢歌笑语的情景表现的非常好，在这点上比西洋乐有张力
是的，瑶族舞曲民族交响乐怎么听都觉得不对…（有时候只能听出拍子根本听不出调），不知道是不是音准问题，我在我们民乐团是古筝，也觉得有时候音准不对劲…
+Sue Wei 有些地方同意你的说法，但是民乐版里竹笛的效果还是远胜交响乐版，交响乐版中间那段单簧管也很突兀。
I love it when Eastern Music is played on Western Instruments. The combo just goes great together.
IKR
I play the Guzheng and I know how to play this song. This is awesome. I've never seen a Western Orchestra play a Chinese song O.O
Same! Im learning this peice with my school's guzheng ensemble and we're preparing it for competitions
it was composed originally for western instruments in Mao time, to quit the traditional Chinese music
Beautiful music like this is really touching to the bottoms of hearts and universal.
这几年看过这个视频好多次，每次都流泪❤
永遠的经典、
C64 The Way of the exploding fist bought me here after 30 years (slap on head)so cool and so much inspiration
great western orchestra with such beautiful chinese music...great conductor
I absolutely love this...if emotions had a sound, this would be it....Beautiful. I'd love to see this live
Phenomenal playing by the orchestra! This actually caused me to get tears of happiness.
Me too!
I played this piece in a youth orchestra, and it was my favourite part of the repertoire that year. :)
认识女朋友的时候在她朋友圈听到这个，一晃五年了 我们也分开了
Playing this in my youth symphony right now. Full version too.
Very enjoyable song.
Sheet music here: musescore.com/user/6144966/scores/6151493
this is one of the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard
Stephen Shwartz’s When You Believe from The Prince of Egypt brought me here.
This is the hold music for our tech support and I'm so glad I finally found it :)
This sounds kind of like the movie,The Prince of Egypt.The last song
Elisheba Eric Wikipedia states that Stephen Schwartz wrote "When you believe" based on this song
THATS THE SONG. I've been trying to figure this out for days
I have only one thing to say.. Way of the exploding fist!
?
I know exactly what you're talking about!!!!
werwer119: Way of the Exploding Fist is very old 8bit martial arts game with title music being cover of this theme :)
Yes! That's what brings me here :D
brought me here !
好聽, 優美
Well done conductor !!!!
I love this song

It's the title. And, most people are not aware of it. I wasn't aware of it. I thought it was a folk music.
Metta. K. There is another rending of this on TH-cam played with traditional Chinese instruments. It's an interesting comparison.
I know it was originally composed for Western Instruments, but I own a recording on Guzheng performed by Bing Xia and it is magical to hear it on a traditional instrument.
The best western orchestra version I ever been listened before!
Even the chinese orchestra that I'm conducting now can't do as well as the western version.
But both of them are different kind of style of music characteristics, I really love both beautiful version of 'Dance of the Yao'.
4:06-4:46 my favourite part
Same here
Best Music ever!
The Way of the Exploding Fist C64 8bit computer music 👍🎶. 6.20 mins.
精采。
Jason Becker sent me here :D
"Way of the exploding fist" brought me here.
Me too!
Love it ❤️
very nice! but its just isn't the same without a suona
I discovered this thanks to an Italian documentary called la lunga marcia ("the long march"), this song was the opening
Breathtaking!
Could some PLEASE help me find the score and sheet music for this arrangement?? Thank you :)

Did Hans Zimmer “borrow” this song for his Prince of Egypt movie? Sounds an awful lot like “When You Believe”.
3:00
2:37
I love the pizzacoto soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Thank you--it would be great if you could add that important information to the video description above.
Is he related to Peng Xiuwen?
Audio has delay
There is a time difference in the actions and the audio
Does anyone have the complete score of Dance of the Yao for Chinese zither and orchestra combined? Thanks
GREAT
It's hard not to hear Mariah and Whitney
It’s written in 1950’s, much earlier than the two ladies’ song.
Perfect
Very nice! Can you please add the name of the conductor to your video description?
This would be great on otomatone
His name is 彭佳鹏 (Peng Jiapeng).
jean-jacques Fauquet he’s taking about the conductor while you’re talking about the composer, LFMAO
wow, like wow. you don't see western orchestras playing this that often.
Melbourne house :)
the c64 orchestra is coming along nicely !
Schade, dass sie am Schluss langsamer wurden. Aber ansonsten sehr gut. :)
There can be miracles when you believe
请问有没有完整版古筝加交响乐的谱子？谢谢
The Commodore 64 lives!
看了下面的评论，才发现，瑶族舞曲最初就是由刘铁山、茅沅创作的西洋管弦乐曲。哈哈哈。怪不得
wow
show!
👏👏👍👍
前面都还好，最后几个音和不在一起听着好难受，有没有哪个版本演绎的比较完美的
does anyone know anyway in which i can get the score?
7:19 the timpanist thought it was shorter lmao
+Janelle Wong No. We have to dampen the note there. There is a cut. And usually at a long note, we dampen the drum just a bit earlier then the orchestra so that we don't stick out.

Well, I played this piece, and the part was poorly written: the roll are separated with a comma.
但係我岩岩check總譜，我果份真係就咁一個長音tremolo無pause架喎，可能唔同edition...? (and i just assumed you know cantonese lol cause i did a bit of some stalking sorry not sorry)
Janelle Wong 咁我唔知喇lol 我分part譜惟獨是最後個音唔tie。
power ending
KC.
I'm in fifth grade but my school's symphony orchestra is nothing compared to this orchestra.
Im the youngest there most kids are either seventh, eighth, or ninth
Which youth symphony is that?
THE TIME WHERE BASSOON SHOWS OFF
Having defeated Shao Kahn, Liu Kang found his peace at philharmony :D
lol
i see the resemblance
I prefer the Breakdance of Yao
LMAO !!!! Hey guys, go to 2:28 ~ 2:40 in the video and turn on slow motion, u will LAUGH ur A** off !!!
Um...why? Is slowed-down orchestration particularly hilarious?
I love everything in this video but the mole on the conductor's face
why the audiences can keep calm during the performance hahahahahahah
It doesn't even compare with how it sounds on traditional eastern intstruments, the dynamics and subtlety are completely lacking.
Ikr its nice but it lacks the "colour" of Chinese music, so to speak. It doesnt have the same flavour
LOL!
和民族乐器相比，西洋乐器更显得高大上，摆脱了乡土气息，突出了音乐自身的魅力。
不过说实话，西洋乐器也值得我们学习！
多读书。
Honestly just not as good as on Chinese insturuments
beautiful... although half the audience looked rather bored lol
The audience looks disappointed
