I saw another channel that some commenter pulled the leg of the reactor saying the hanging body was the last orchestral performer who screwed in a performance. Lol.
"People with ropes around their necks don't always hang. Even a filthy beggar like that has a protecting angel. A golden-haired angel watches over him." And to that I say... there's two kinds of people in this world, those with good aim and those who hang. :D
This music is 55 years old and still captures the hearts and imaginations of young people around the globe. RIP maestro Morricone, you are missed more than you know.
The good, the bad and the ugly is a old western movie with Clint Eastwood. It's was a tribute to the film. That's why they had a hangd man from the roof. 😂 It's a classic movie from 1966. Keep up the good work! Love Morgan from Sweden 🇸🇪 🥰
Sometimes I just forget that these movies/songs are not as well known as they were by younger generations... And I'm not even that old^^' But it's always great to see people discover them !
Cool, in that case I'm traveling back to the year 2019 and STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT, with the correct version of history... See yall in 🇺🇸TRUMP🇺🇸2020🇺🇸 Muhahaha, MUHAHAHAHA !
I remember seeing the movie for the first time and the gunfight at the end… I was on the edge of my seat. 3 hours of story building up to that one scene… amazing
I don't know what kind of movies you like, but "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" is a great western and one of my favorite films from my youth. I might go watch it again after this! As far as the orchestra, modern orchestras are trying hard to attract younger audiences by incorporating music out of the expected classical repertoire and including more visual, active elements in their performances. They're being quite successful with it, and that's great for music in general.
The whole trilogy is so epic. Some of my favourite movies ever. And that it all kind of culminates in Eastwood's "Unforgiven" in '92, that amazing deconstruction of the Western genre he helped to build, is like a chef's kiss.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, is also my all time favorite Western movie. This Orchestra gets the music as close to a perfect match with the original score. The second half of this is an fantastic piece Ecstasy of Gold and the Orchestra is dead on. When I am brought to tears by an orchestra trying to copy 2 iconic pieces of music they have done something worth watching again and again.
@@yankee_tango My favorite, likely because it was the first spaghetti western I saw in my youth, is "For a Few Dollars More." The coolness of both Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, and overall grittiness and dilapidation was something I'd not seen in a western before. Hail Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone for their combined brilliance.
If I may humbly insist that the spaghetti western - Once Upon A Time In The West be included with the trilogy. An allstar cast including Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra actually played the theme song from that movie at that same venue.
The "hanging man" was simply a prop which makes sense if you're familiar with the movie. The woodwind instrument playing with the piano is an Oboe, which is a double-reed instrument and very hard to master, and the gentlemen playing it in this orchestra was masterful. The late Mr. Ennio Morricone (the composer of this song) was a musical genius, God rest his soul.
That is not an oboe. It is called an English horn. It is 8 or 9 inches longer than an oboe and the neck to the mouthpiece is bent to make the instrument be held closer to the body. The bell is bulb shaped.
@@randalldean8832Thank you! I was trying to identify that instrument. I do know this though, the guy playing it under a blue filtered light could be seen turning red from lack of oxygen.
This is the theme to the movie of the same name. Your astonishment of the hanging man is understandable, because you'd have to see the movie to get it. Also, if you'd seen it, you wouldn't be laughing at the strangeness, you'd be in awe of their technical prowess as musicians ... to have done such a perfect job on this timeless classic is nothing short of amazing.
Fun fact. As you can hear the last part of the song, is called "ecstasy of gold", that is always the opening for any Metallica Concert The reason for this is James Hetfeld, is a huge Western Fan.
@@bonsai67 But it is: Song definition: the act or art of singing Singing definition: a: to produce musical tones by means of the voice b: to utter words in musical tones and with musical inflections and modulations
One thing to note: Back when Ennio Morricone originally composed the piece for the movie, they did not have the budget for a big orchestra. But a few singers, an electric guitar, a flutist and a trumpeter was easy to come by. That is why it is instrumented sparsely, with putting the "wahwah" singer front and center. However, most live performances (even done by Morricone himself) were like you see here, with a big orchestra, which gives it that special richness you only get from many humans performing together.
Watch the movie and it makes sense. People ask what's a conductor's job? Their job is to coordinate everything in the orchestra, it may look like they're just waving their hands and the baton, but all those movements have a meaning and are directed to specific parts of the orchestra. How I felt? The movie ranks high on my personal favorites list and the soundtrack is iconic. It was awesome to see it done so well. Much like if you like chocolate cake almost any chocolate cake is good, but if you get one from a master chef it's special. Seeing this is like getting that really special chocolate cake.
Morricone introduces in the film music that the characters have their own melody and he often uses natural sounds in his music. He also often writes the music after the end of the shoot in order to compose it precisely for the scenes. This makes the music part of the story. This is the theme song to the third part of the Dollar Trilogy: "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Sergio Leone (director), Ennio Morricone (music) and Clint Eastwood (actor) turned the western on its head with the films. Before the movies, Westerns were about the settlement of the American West. Leone turns it into "mafia films" and catapults the western into a scenario that could also play in the present. The struggle of different people and groups is the focus here. Leone not only creates the subspecies of the spaghetti western, he changes the staging of westerns in general. The trilogy made the three Hollywood stars, Oscar winners and they are considered the best westerns ever. Ironically, Eastwood didn't get his 4 Oscars as an actor, but as a director and producer. Leone was never nominated and never received an honorary Oscar, but he was repeatedly cited as a role model by younger directors.
@@onetruthmediacompany I guess you're joking. As is well known, it's "Metallica" that uses "Ecstasy of Gold" by the great Ennio Morricone as the opening song. However, it isn't plagiarism, being a clear and transparent homage to one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century and the first decade of the current millennium.
The key to playing in an orchestra is listening for the other instruments and watching the conductor. You're doing this while you read the music and play the instrument mind you. I was in orchestra from seventh through 12th grade. It's been 46 years and I still miss it.
6-12 plus a few semesters in college. Been 30 years for me and I still wish I went professional rather than going into software, now apparently a huge mistake as AI has gutted the field!
The first instrument to come in after the piano was an [Edit: English horn (first thought oboe as they sound very similar)]. The piano is great for rain, snow, and deep emotion (insert "plin plin plon" meme). The oboe and English horn have a more dry quality, fitting the western movie theme and providing the perfect contrast to the piano's rain, but also has a piercing emotional quality. Pure genius.
English Horn. You can tell by the bent bocal (the little metal tube between the musician's mouth and the instrument proper). And it takes LOTS of practice to achieve that quality of tone; I really love that hornist.
@ServantOfMelian oh! I was going by sound as I couldn't see much of it. Oboes and English horns do sound very similar, and I see what you're talking about. I will edit my comment accordingly. Thanks!
Written by the legendary film composer Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) who has written many many film scores but none has had the impact of this, this score is from a trio of movies out of Italy in the 60's commonly known as "Spaghetti Westerns"...A Fistful Of Dollars (1964) For A few Dollars More (1965) and This one, The Good The Bad The Ugly (1966) all directed by legendary Italian film director Sergio Leone (1929-1989) Both of these men have influenced many directors and composers...These movies also launched Clint Eastwood into the stratosphere. Everything by this orchestra is amazing and there's a lot on here to see. The hanging man is just a theme from the movies as hanging wasn't so much justice dispensed as it was pretty much a sport back then. Tuva Semmingsen (Wah Wah) is a Norwegian soprano and she too is also amazing, please listen to "Bang Bang" and look close she's wearing guns for earrings...Christine Nonbo Andersen also amazing, the skill required for all this is beyond belief, one single note out of place and the entire piece is shattered, it's mind boggling to see what a group of dedicated people can do together, one no more or less important than another, astonishing.
You reaction to the hanged man made me laugh out loud. The first time I heard this score was when I sat down in a theater in 1966 and watched the movie. It was the 3rd in the 'Dollars' series starring Clint Eastwood and is credited for catapulting him to stardom. I've watched it several times over the years and it's about time to do it again. 😊🤘
I hope by now you've had an opportunity to see the movie.This score is an important element in creating the drama that makes it such a memorable movie. As others have said, it's the ultimate western movie and launched Clint Eastwood's career. It's as startling and unexpected as the music. The music is so well integrated into the drama of the movie that it's difficult to separate them.
The first part, was the theme music of the western of the same name. The latter part is called "Extacy of Gold", and is from the ending part of the movie. It is from a scene in the movie, that is one of the most epic scenes, in movie history. The guy hanging, symbolizes something, that happens early in the movie. The silhouette in the background, is of Clint Eastwood, who was the main character, in the movie, and also the lead actor in two other spaghetti westerns, that was celebrated this evening. The waa waa woman had revolver earrings, in case you didn't notice. And several male musicians in the orchestra, was also dressed as cowboys. It's not easy to see in this video, but in other videos from the same night.
I just watched this film again not long ago; Morricone’s music is a huge part of the experience and powerful on its own. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. You’re the only non-musician reactor worth watching. Very insightful observations along with obvious honesty. What a delight to have you on TH-cam!
The movie was one of the “spaghetti westerns “ that came out in the 1960’s. This is where I first heard it and we ( my Mom and sister and I ) argued over what kind of bird it was. Still don’t know what it is. And I believe the instrument that was playing when the piano was, was an oboe. Great scoring for the movie and great reaction
I am sad because I grew up with these films 5, 10 years old and I just assumed all movies had this standard level of soundtrack. I'm older now but cannot disassociate the score from the movie despite it's brilliance. So I love watching your reaction purely to the music in it's own context. That is something I am unable to do 😢 Ennio was a God, totally underappreciated. Truly amazing.
Sono italiano e conosco molto bene questo capolavoro e vorrei dire a tutti di non imbarazzarvi se avrete la pelle d'oca , io c'è l'ho tutte le volte che l'ascolto
watch the movie, you will understand the hanging man story. And enjoying even more the music after that, I promise. The music is masterpiece but the movie is just legendary.
Ecstasy of Gold is from the score for the film the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The film shows the greed and violence of men. Ecstasy of Gold reminds that even though men sin, there is still the possibility of divine redemption.
Un capolavoro,AMAZING pensando che Sergio Leone alla regia e Ennio Morricone alle musiche inventarono il genere Spaghetti Western,le atmosfere sono UNICHE SEMBRA di cavalcare nel West 🤠♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Its film music from a Western. The movie is called. The good the bad and the ugly. the hangman is from the movie. i was a western movie music evening. there are at least 2 more videos from that evening. they also have videos where they play music from other movies and even music from computer games. ( dont watch a German dubbed version )
The guy who wrote this, Ennio Morricone wrote the musical scores for more than 400 movies and TV shows. He was an absolute musical genius. I thoroughly recommend watching the movie too, it's one of the very best "cowboy" movies (it actually spans quite a few genres)
9:22 It's called an oboe. Yeah, it's an incredibly beautiful instrument and maybe the most difficult wind instrument to play; it takes big lungs and great control. That old man could blow.
I do love me a great film score, this being a classic. I was in a orchestra from 4th grade all they way through high school. I played trumpet. I miss it. I do play piano, but not as much as I should and want to. Something about playing at 3am makes my neighbors mad. Anyway, one of my other favorite film scores is Dances With Wolves. Ok, have a great day, Bisscute
This tune was the theme song for a movie by the same name. It is one of the best western movies of all time. So yes you see a man hanging from a noose and the silhouette of a western guy (Clint Eastwood).
To fully appreciate this music, one must first know something about "the American Wild West!!"..... to appreciate the culture and history of "the Wild West." To understand "hanging a person for "a perceived crime"....to understand the importance of firearms in the culture! ". Even the "Wa -Wa lady" was wearing pistols for earrings! Watching the movie, itself..."The Good, Bad and Ugly" would be a big help, as well! "The Danish National Symphony did a superb job in capturing "the Wild West!" I listen to this often.
If you are hooked with this kind of music, but you want to hear something more..."catchy" and modern, you can try Ya ni and his orchestra playing The Storm or Playtime... you'll see this orchestra met the most and incredible performers of every instrument around the world. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy to try my recommendation. Have a good day
If you have never seen the movie, you owe it to yourself. Heck, make a reaction video to it. The video you just watched is just two of the musical masterpieces from the movie. But the movie is more than the music, it is magical from start to finish, from the camerawork to the script, it is the perfect western, if you ignore the fact that it bears no resemblance to the REAL wild west. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
This was from a spaghetti western from the early 70’s great movie. Just special how they can turn that film score into such a spectacular performance 🎭
thedealer777 0 seconds ago This was from a 1960s "Spaghetti western," made cheaply in Europe, typically by an Italian producer and director. Ennio Morricone also composed these pieces,. All this might explain why the soundtrack has a flavor of an Italian opera. Spaghetti westerns were popular, and saved Clint Eastwood's career back then. As far as the "Hanging Body" prop, the orchestra was playing music from Clint Eastwood's films. One of which was "Hang 'Em High!" By the way, the fat little wooden instrument that the musician was blowing into, is called an "ocarina."
Watch the movie and it will make sense. Remember this is the soundtrack of a spaghetti western. It played in the background of the action. And the hanging man is a character in the movie.
Ennio Morricone...the GODFATHER of all Movie Scores!...."Ecstasy of Gold",the Challenge for every Female Singer !......it's the INTRO MUSIC for EVERY METALLICA SHOW !!!!
Ennio Morricone. My life wouldn´t be the same without his music. In my opinion one of the top 3 film-music composers of all time. My favorit piece is Nella fantasia. Means so much to me that I actually would like it played at my funeral.
You damn right to get goosebumps, that is the correct reaction to this music. These pieces are near perfectly composed and the DNSO performes them near perfectly.
Hello Bisscute, this is a very good version of this soundtrack. It's by Ennio Morricone. He was one of the most famous soundtrack composers in the world. There are more than 500 films with his music. Another very well-known piece of him is "Once Upon A Time In The West". I can recommend Steffi Vertriest's version. Just her angelic voice and a piano. She sang it in a church. Her voice will kill you after 30 seconds. Believe me. It will blow you away. --> Steffi Vertriest - Once Upon A Time In The West (Ennio Morricone) cover - th-cam.com/video/USK1VjV-nO8/w-d-xo.html Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

I hope by now you've had an opportunity to see the movie.This score is an important element in creating the drama that makes it such a memorable movie. As others have said, it's the ultimate western movie and launched Clint Eastwood's career. It's as startling and unexpected as the music. The music is so well integrated into the drama of the movie that it's difficult to separate them.
Tuco!.. He was hanging around a lot in the movie... To know Tuco is to love him!
The first part, was the theme music of the western of the same name. The latter part is called "Extacy of Gold", and is from the ending part of the movie. It is from a scene in the movie, that is one of the most epic scenes, in movie history.
The guy hanging, symbolizes something, that happens early in the movie.
The silhouette in the background, is of Clint Eastwood, who was the main character, in the movie, and also the lead actor in two other spaghetti westerns, that was celebrated this evening.
The waa waa woman had revolver earrings, in case you didn't notice.
And several male musicians in the orchestra, was also dressed as cowboys. It's not easy to see in this video, but in other videos from the same night.
Excellente interprétation d'un des meilleurs western
I just watched this film again not long ago; Morricone’s music is a huge part of the experience and powerful on its own. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. You’re the only non-musician reactor worth watching. Very insightful observations along with obvious honesty. What a delight to have you on TH-cam!
The movie was one of the “spaghetti westerns “ that came out in the 1960’s. This is where I first heard it and we ( my Mom and sister and I ) argued over what kind of bird it was. Still don’t know what it is. And I believe the instrument that was playing when the piano was, was an oboe. Great scoring for the movie and great reaction
I am sad because I grew up with these films 5, 10 years old and I just assumed all movies had this standard level of soundtrack. I'm older now but cannot disassociate the score from the movie despite it's brilliance.
So I love watching your reaction purely to the music in it's own context.
That is something I am unable to do 😢
Ennio was a God, totally underappreciated. Truly amazing.
Two Oscars and 5 Nominations is not bad 😂
The scene in the movie was at Sad Hill cemetery in Spain which is restored and can be seen on Google earth
Sono italiano e conosco molto bene questo capolavoro e vorrei dire a tutti di non imbarazzarvi se avrete la pelle d'oca , io c'è l'ho tutte le volte che l'ascolto
watch the movie, you will understand the hanging man story. And enjoying even more the music after that, I promise. The music is masterpiece but the movie is just legendary.
I was fortunate to see the Ennio Morricone concert in the O2 in London. Simply amazing!
Ecstasy of Gold is from the score for the film the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The film shows the greed and violence of men. Ecstasy of Gold reminds that even though men sin, there is still the possibility of divine redemption.
As Someone Said, The Hanging Man Is An Integral Part Of The Film!
Un capolavoro,AMAZING pensando che Sergio Leone alla regia e Ennio Morricone alle musiche inventarono il genere Spaghetti Western,le atmosfere sono UNICHE SEMBRA di cavalcare nel West 🤠♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Its film music from a Western. The movie is called. The good the bad and the ugly. the hangman is from the movie. i was a western movie music evening. there are at least 2 more videos from that evening. they also have videos where they play music from other movies and even music from computer games. ( dont watch a German dubbed version )
Exactly, they have also had different theme nights, like Science Fiction, Agents (007), Fantasy, etc.
The guy who wrote this, Ennio Morricone wrote the musical scores for more than 400 movies and TV shows. He was an absolute musical genius. I thoroughly recommend watching the movie too, it's one of the very best "cowboy" movies (it actually spans quite a few genres)
9:22 It's called an oboe. Yeah, it's an incredibly beautiful instrument and maybe the most difficult wind instrument to play; it takes big lungs and great control. That old man could blow.
Actually, it's an English Horn.
@@visarr Oh, your'e right the English horn is longer. Never seen one.
I do love me a great film score, this being a classic. I was in a orchestra from 4th grade all they way through high school. I played trumpet. I miss it. I do play piano, but not as much as I should and want to. Something about playing at 3am makes my neighbors mad. Anyway, one of my other favorite film scores is Dances With Wolves. Ok, have a great day, Bisscute
My favorite movie and my favorite score.
The control of the great Conductor
This tune was the theme song for a movie by the same name. It is one of the best western movies of all time. So yes you see a man hanging from a noose and the silhouette of a western guy (Clint Eastwood).
To fully appreciate this music, one must first know something about "the American Wild West!!"..... to appreciate the culture and history of "the Wild West." To understand "hanging a person for "a perceived crime"....to understand the importance of firearms in the culture! ". Even the "Wa -Wa lady" was wearing pistols for earrings! Watching the movie, itself..."The Good, Bad and Ugly" would be a big help, as well! "The Danish National Symphony did a superb job in capturing "the Wild West!" I listen to this often.
If you are hooked with this kind of music, but you want to hear something more..."catchy" and modern, you can try Ya ni and his orchestra playing The Storm or Playtime... you'll see this orchestra met the most and incredible performers of every instrument around the world. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy to try my recommendation. Have a good day
If you have never seen the movie, you owe it to yourself. Heck, make a reaction video to it. The video you just watched is just two of the musical masterpieces from the movie. But the movie is more than the music, it is magical from start to finish, from the camerawork to the script, it is the perfect western, if you ignore the fact that it bears no resemblance to the REAL wild west. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Great reaction especially not realising the origin of the song itself .glad you enjoyed it .
The Danish Symphony Orchestra performs most of the good movie and TV series scores. They a special and talented bunch
RIP Ennio ❤️
THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY IS THE FINAL MOVIE IN A WESTERN TRILOGY STARING CLINT EASTWOOD AND THIS WAS THE THEME SONG
This was from a spaghetti western from the early 70’s great movie. Just special how they can turn that film score into such a spectacular performance 🎭
Genius Ennio Morricone ♥️🇮🇹
colonna sonora del maestro MORRICONI ....... ITALIANA!!!!!!!!
The hanging man is from the movie The Good, The Bad and the Ugly...famous western..this is the theme song to the movie.....
That was an awesome surprise.
Hello from The Netherlands, thank you.
The Greatest The Maestro Ennio Morricone...
The guy on the english horn is my favourite. Amazing breath control!
You need to watch the movie to appreciate the music and relevance to the hanging man. Oboe was the instrument with the piano.

This was from a 1960s "Spaghetti western," made cheaply in Europe, typically by an Italian producer and director. Ennio Morricone also composed these pieces,. All this might explain why the soundtrack has a flavor of an Italian opera. Spaghetti westerns were popular, and saved Clint Eastwood's career back then. As far as the "Hanging Body" prop, the orchestra was playing music from Clint Eastwood's films. One of which was "Hang 'Em High!" By the way, the fat little wooden instrument that the musician was blowing into, is called an "ocarina."
The wild thing is that it is a live performance. Really cute reaction
Watch the movie and it will make sense. Remember this is the soundtrack of a spaghetti western. It played in the background of the action. And the hanging man is a character in the movie.
Ennio Morricone...the GODFATHER of all Movie Scores!...."Ecstasy of Gold",the Challenge for every Female Singer !......it's the INTRO MUSIC for EVERY METALLICA SHOW !!!!
Ennio Morricone. My life wouldn´t be the same without his music. In my opinion one of the top 3 film-music composers of all time. My favorit piece is Nella fantasia. Means so much to me that I actually would like it played at my funeral.
The Waa Waa lady is Tuva Semmingsen she is a Mezza-Soprano and obviously she can waa waa and whistle too but she is a really good singer.😀
I love watching you react to music that takes you by surprise at how good it is.
she is very beautiful
You damn right to get goosebumps, that is the correct reaction to this music. These pieces are near perfectly composed and the DNSO performes them near perfectly.
The man hangin had it comin
You had the best reaction so far. Please watch the movie! ❤ from Sweden.
It's the theme song for a movie western with gunslingers and all that! You are getting goosebumps just by listening to this epic song.
I always cry when ectasy for gold kicks in...
Hello Bisscute, this is a very good version of this soundtrack. It's by Ennio Morricone. He was one of the most famous soundtrack composers in the world. There are more than 500 films with his music. Another very well-known piece of him is "Once Upon A Time In The West". I can recommend Steffi Vertriest's version. Just her angelic voice and a piano. She sang it in a church. Her voice will kill you after 30 seconds. Believe me. It will blow you away.

Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
The "WA-WA-WA" is the cry of a coyote

Ennio Morricone, the diference between an excellent composer, and an universal genious
There are over 100 musicians and over 75 Choir members in this Orchestra !

Ennio Morricone... wow!
