The movie concept actually started as a totally serious horror movie and was going to be much gorier. It was only through extensive script re-writes that it ended up a comedy.
I would lose my absolute mind to see this in person. Beetlejuice has been one of my favorite films since childhood and only tonight, well into my thirties, I was trying to think what instruments were in the theme song. Then looked it up to see if I could find an orchestra performing it. So thrilling!!
this soundtrack is a clear demonstration of the type of composer that danny elfman is, that is, it is a mixture of a soundtrack between horror and comedy and even so it sounds good, if it is clear that someone knows how to make soundtracks that is danny elfman
I lived in East Corinth when i was a child, little did I know that my roots led me back to these Haunting Grounds of one of the Greatest films of all time.
The composer doesn’t necessarily have to know every position on each instrument, just the notes. Music notation is what allows composers to write music, think of notation as a language…the composer writes what he wants, then the musicians interprets it and they’re the ones responsible for positioning their hands to the corresponding notes on their respective instruments.
Damn!! Good job, everyone! And a big shoutout to the lower brass instruments in the main title. You are an impressive bunch. I know a good chunk of the score generally plays to the strengths of your instrument, but that opening title is something else. I dunno how to describe it other than 'manic'. It takes a musician out of their comfort zone, and tests them! Poor tuba guy lol
This is nearly perfect-the only trouble is they keep the spot mic on the first chair during tutti sections. When it’s supposed to sound like a section, it just sounds like one violin that’s too close to a mic. Seriously, otherwise this is basically perfect.
Absolute BRILLIANCE, i was soooooo enthralled, live in person would just fill me with suchhhh exultation! Sry I found a thesaurus on the floor this AM.
The cartoon version of the Beetlejuice theme is the best, but the performance here is still very solid. The french horn section sounds noticeably more powerful than in the original film, which is the best & most mischievous part of the theme in my opinion.

Amazing composition. Cant wait to hear what DE has up his sleeve for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!
I got goosebumps when the trombone started playing.
Danny Elfman's love of highlighting sound textures. Growling brass, screeching strings, bells and chimes, and occasional cooing voices. I love it.
Cannot imagine how difficult this is to play. That trombone player especially. Just getting his breathing in sync.
Definately but easy but has to be fun as hell for all of them to be playing this lol 😆
I remember hearing Danny joking about how the tuba part is very involved and how his tuba player was basically turning blue.
he probably circular breathes
As someone who’s played it on viola, holy hell is it difficult
I play remnant and we tried playing This and we had som much fun 😂
When the French horns started, I lost my mind
Me tooooo
Me as well
Tim Burton: Is this a horror film or a Comedy?
Danny Elfman: Yes.
names should be switched

Isn't it the other way around?
This invokes all the horror film frights and nostalgic feelings from my childhood. This musical piece is amazing. Truly a masterpiece.
THE MOVIE IS NOT FOR CHILDREN
Danny Elfman is a musical genius!!!
He absolutely is, but hes also a major creeper in real life lmao . Still a fan of his work tho haha
John Williams is the Greatest. But Elfman is my Favorite. His music is so inventive and fun.
What about Jerry Goldsmith?
Everybody forgets Goldsmith@@XXLSSBBW
Seconded
That trombone gets me everytime. I listen to this at the gym 🏋🏻♀️

The ladies vocals gave me chills everytime!!!
Fucking fantastic. Goosebumps. Elfman is a crazed genius.
When this starts playing, you know some massive tomfoolery is going to take place
When i was young i didnt pay attention to details and such an opening credits as i do now. And this opening was and still is a bop. 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
We come fer yer daughter, Chuck!
Blahahahahaa
Like hell you are! Lol 😂
I should have known it was a Danny Elfman song! That man is talented
The most amazing song I’ve ever heard !!!!
This song gave me the chills
This orchestra is tight 👏👏👏
Shit yes it is bad ass and with the choir even for even the extra special effects! 😆👏
0:53 - 0:55 this part is amazing!🤩
When i first watched this movie. I had no idea what i was watching, BUT I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT
That question is easy to answer. One of the greatest horror comedies ever.
It's good to be alive!!!!!
I lived in East Corinth when i was a child, little did I know that my roots led me back to these Haunting Grounds of one of the Greatest films of all time.
Beetlejuice: It's showtime. 😈
It’s amazing to see this arrangement done. Wow.
This guy made every part of this and knew every music position and transition from every instrument? Hes a fucking genius

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!
IT’S SHOWTIME!!!!!

This song is pure Elfman. Maybe the most purest Elfman.
Maybe Im getting sentimental in my older years but this brings a joyous tear to my eyes
You're not alone!!
God Danny elfman is the best.
6:22 AHH! SANDWORM!
I'm going to watch Danny Elfman in concert in a few days

BIG SMILE on my face
BEETLEJUICE 2 IS COMING BABY!!!!!
Still can't believe this is the same guy responsible for the Weird Science and Oingo Boingo
I don't think we survived the crash.
Josh: oh DO YA!!!
How did ya guess?
Fun-fact:
The script writer for BeetleJuice also did work on the show Tales From The Darkside. Michael McDowell.
I originally said 'Alex'
Michael
All my favorite musical moments from the movie! Love it!
Attention, K-Mart shoppers!
Well I’m feeling pretty good about myself.
So, without further delay.
Love the concept art in the background
Tim Burton is the King of Gothic Movies and his sidekick Danny Elfman 👏 Both are genius in the horror movies 🥰
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
It's showtime
I just pressed play and I’m hoping to hear “la la la la” but this might be the movie version
This is amazing
When the French horns came in, I lost my shit
I love this songs 😍🙂🙃🙃🙃🙃
This getting ready for the next movie
Absolute BRILLIANCE, i was soooooo enthralled, live in person would just fill me with suchhhh exultation! Sry I found a thesaurus on the floor this AM.
47 seconds in. Instant grin. Danny Elfman is a genius
That slidey trumpet hits hard
But the drunk trumpet hits harder
It’s showtime
IT’S SHOW TIME!!!
Im pissed my band instructor in middle school never had us play this
Danny Elfman will always be another one of my most favorite conductors of all time.
Hell, I'll possess myself If I gotta. Woooo, I've got demons all through me, all through me!
Amazing.
It's nice this version isn't a 100% copy of the original but a slight remix
Scratch K-Mart shoppers. Michael Keaton yelling, "Attention Walmart shoppers!"
I love that little jingle at 4:01
❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's show time 😎
What were the nominated scores at the Oscars in 1989? 🤔
I can always tell when its a danny elfman song by the hornline 😭
Hearing this now I can feel 'Batman Forever' soundtrack got influenced by this.
Love it
Thank Bartek? He translated Elfman into this masterpiece.
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ghost with the most 🎃🦇🎃
😍🥰🤩✌️
It's giving Bartok vibes
I just pressed play but I hope I hear “la la la la”
espetacular
Which concert was this?
🔥🔥🔥
Who here has seen the second film?
Awesome
I can't be the only one who finds the cartoon version better
NO BC I LOVE THE CARTOON SM
Same!
The cartoon version of the Beetlejuice theme is the best, but the performance here is still very solid. The french horn section sounds noticeably more powerful than in the original film, which is the best & most mischievous part of the theme in my opinion.
Did Tim Burton provide the artwork?
Yes, those are his drawings.
This is awesome
I keep thinking that they're dead while playing instruments lol
Is it just me or is there a hint of The Simpsons theme hidden in there?
Mozart would have loved Danny Elfman 😂.
Mozart is about theatrical operal music but danny elfman is about dark one
The Juice is loose

Può non finire mai sto video? O non durare solo 6 minuti? Perché è la igliore cosa che abbia mai visto.
Scuse me... You do that? It's very nice work.
what genre of this style of music?
The best kind
Elfmusic
Or Burton Music.
