This guy wrote a single motive, dragged it for 15 minutes and called it a day. Truly a genius.
This is because he was slowly going insane. He couldn't think of anything else other than this melody, literally, he couldn't think of anything else.
Sometimes insanity makes the greatest Art.
@@carlogaytan7010 Holy shit, man !

@@MorgothBauglire yes😂
You are Lucky he dragged it for 15 mim, imagine if he did it for 2 hours.
i dunno why, but i can imagine ants in a line carrying sugar on their back while listening to this.
Fr this piece sounds like ant march song
while on the main road countless elephants moving towards a battlefield
The first time I heard this I was in college many moons ago. I heard it playing and I asked a friend what the name of it was. He said he didn't know, but it had something to do with Cleopatra's barge. I could literally imagine hearing it at the beginning as the rowers row this huge barge up the Nile toward Rome. It got louder as it got closer, all strewn and draped with flower swags. And the beautiful Cleopatra sitting on a throne at the very back, being fanned with many large palm fans and drinking a Coca Cola.....LOL
@@Note-dy6yd i love it. someone should make a movie.
@@amandareckonwith3976 adhdhgsgf it's nice to see your imagination is definitely more vivid than mine XD
Fun fact: Boléro was going to be the title theme for the 1986 original NES classic video game: The Legend of Zelda, but the developers realized the composition had not yet entered the public domain, so series composer and legend Koji Kondo spent all night to rearrange the existing field theme into the now iconic title theme.
I’ve been looking for this comment… finally found it!
wait whats the song name? That's acc crazy, never knew
@@anontob The songs name is 'Ram Ranch 7' which can easily be found right here on youtube.

Why do you lie about dumb shit to strangers? Go accomplish something. I mean that sincerely. Go accomplish one thing that can be part of a chain of accomplishments. Cook scrambled eggs, then move up to an omelette.
Accomplishments, big or small, all build self-esteem and soon you won't want to impress anyone but by actions. I believe in you.
@@maize5 why are you so fucking upset over a joke
We played this in high school once, and everyone hated it. I honestly felt it was one of the best things I've actually played.
Probably due to repetitiveness
Jugar..? Como se juega?
Hay un juego??
De esta bella obra de Arte...
Saludos desde Ecuador....
@TheMilitantHorse, I sense we are kindred spirits. Re high schoolers hating playing it--I remind myself that children should be seen, but not heard. The internet has forgotten this ancient wisdom and in its case, existential truth. Subadults, present company excepted, have no real clue what they like or is good until they mature. Paz y salud.
Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you enjoyed playing it. I think some people dislike it because of the repetition, but I completely disagree. This is my favorite music piece of all time. Hope you get to play it again in the future.
100% agree. Best song I played in high school.
Can you imagine how difficult it had to be for the snare drummer? Never misses a beat ……………
Bro's wrists are prolly drained out from repeating the same thing for 15 mins straight😂 Although pretty sure theyre trained for that kinda stuff
@@haziqiman3895 oh yeah, they basically train themselves to endure it
Watch Andre Reiu. The drummer is right out front
Never missed a beat
I used to percussion in a youth orchestra and we set the beat right after the conductor and you had to time things PERFECTLY. I still get goosebumps thinking back to being on the large drums and the large crescendo at the end was the part you always waited for! Nothing but respect to the drummer in this piece, the dude has both the most low-key but also important part in the whole song.
@@haziqiman3895 I remember one piece I did in a youth orchestra involved me playing a washboard as a "steam train" and let me just say that at the end of that song my arm literally felt like it was going to fall off, and we had practiced for weeks leading up to the concert. It was gnarly!
Bolero actually summarizes human life. Life is actually full of routines and repetitions. But if we can, we can color our monotonous lives by adding new sounds and breaths to them every new day, every new month. We can gradually improve the quality of our lives and make it amazing like Bolero.
at the time of bolero writing this song he was suffering from an illness which killed him as the spindle neurones in his brain unravelled and the illness caused him to heavily focus on repetition especially in the later stages of the disease. the song was a commission from a Russian dancer who i think was in a circus haven’t looked at the article for a year though, so unsure.
@@coreyfinn2554 Actually, I don't know much about Ravel's life. I just discovered the song and that's how it made me feel. But now I'd like to investigate what you said. I'll read articles and news about it. Thank you for giving me this information. (I wrote using the translation hope there is no mistake :)
@@coreyfinn2554 ultimate party pooper lmfaoooo
@@coreyfinn2554 It was commissioned by a Russian Ballerina, Ida Rubinstein and premiered in 1928 as a stand alone piece...
Bolero is torture.
I cannot tell you how much I resent you for putting an ad in the middle of this piece. It defeats the whole point of listening
That sounds terrible, having installed adblock on chrome the thought didn't come to mind that there would be an ad in this video of all
The person who uploads the video doesn't get to choose if or when ads are placed. So please don't blame them :-)
Haha I got it too. Right at 5:30. Really horrible experience considering how peaceful the music is and how loud they make the ads.
You missed the opportunity to AD-lib Bolero.
@@LeFrez yes they do. You can choose precisely where to put the ads. In fact, there is an option in the studio to deactivate ads mid-roll. As creators on TH-cam, we speak from experience.
My grandpa used to put on this song everytime I went to their place and I used to dance with my grandma in the kitchen to this, while she cooked. She passed away two days ago and she was the last of our grandparents to leave us. Oh, the joy to know someone loved you in such an unconditional way, uncomparable feeling. I am so lucky to have memories with all my grandparents. I will cherish them forever.
😂such a nice story, sorry for your loss. same month i lost my grandmother as well.
I'm glad you had the opportunity to have known such lovely people. May they rest in peace, and their memory live on in you.

Thanks! :)
Zookee, you the man!
Salve, frate!
Im a painter and I typically work at night when there are no more sounds of everyday life. My routine is getting my paint brushes, oils, cigarettes and put on Bolero on repeat. My mind usually starts to wonder off into the night creating stories of living a different time all while this piece is playing in the background. I literally venture off into the unknown and its all because of this piece.
That's awesome and wonderful!!!
Jean-Michel Basquiat was known to place this when he was painting at the prince street gallery.
The smokes are going to kill you. Make a plan to live without them. Too many of my family and associates have had their lives destroyed and finally ended by them.

Great comment. Thank you !
Truly magical when those layers come in together. I get emotional, such a great piece
I just watched a documentary on the Bolero and someone said that if Ravel was alive today, he'd be making techno music. The man basically invented loops.
Interesting!Could you tell the name of this documentary you watched?
@@phenomenal-flop yeah I wanna konw too
what documetary i wanna watch it too
Quite far fetched though...
Look into Bach and his the meaning of Cannons and Fugues and you’ll see the concept of loops was pioneered much earlier. Although I much prefer Ravel :)
I don't care if Ravel hate it himself, I love it!!! It has the pace, the crescendo, and the exact duration I need to clean my fucking bathroom.
love this progressiv crescendo thing. if you know more tracks like this, let me know. greetings

This song was played for the funeral of my grandfather yesterday. He was born in 1927 and lived for 94 years. He loved this piece of music like many of you. Love you all :)
It's not a song.
@@RaulMeatFactory1975 somebody talks about how their grandfather just died, and you choose to pick on something so inconsequential to the overall message.

This master piece is a conversation among all the instruments involved.

Then the snare drum is talking nonstop over everyone else
My dad introduced me to this as a kid. Still wonderful to hear 50 years later.
My dad introduced us to this piece when we were young as well. He procured a vinyl 78 while he was in the Army Air Corp in early 1940 over in North Africa. He used to play it on his Victrola for his buddies. One day, while this song was playing, a guy Dad had never seen before came dancing into his room (my dad was a 2nd Lieutenant, so he had his own room). The guy had a knife in his teeth and danced all around my dad's room, then left. My dad never saw him again!
My Dad Loved this
I Miss You
God Bless You, Dad
HAIL DAD
vance calvin my dad used to love this song too. God bless you dad. I missed you

My grandfather also loved this song. God bless our fathers and granpas!
People: You can`t make a music using just 1 loop
Bolero: hold my glass
And also every 2010s musical artist
Actually he's Maurice Ravel
But i really like your com
@@mrlemonade281 for real. I think the worst one was a j lo song that had a loop of only 4 notes, and they were terrible notes on a sax that made no fucking sense by themselves, and it played the whole god damn time. My bosses damn radio station played it every 5th song, because they only had 5 songs, and somehow every time you walked past the radio the same song was on. They may have only had 1 song.
I think you meant you can't make a "song"
@@mrlemonade281 Most of them proved you can't.
The flute and the snare are so perfectly in time together
All of the instruments are, but I commented this while listening to the very beginning

I am all speechless by this beautiful music. I have been sitting here on my computer for 5 hours just listening. I do not get tired. I just wish I could play those instruments the same way. I know I am dreaming. I like dreaming.

I was about 12 or 13 and our French classroom was next to the music room, one day part way through a French lesson a piece of music came on next door, this, the whole class including the teacher just stopped what they were doing and sat enthralled until it was over. We had never heard it before and did not know what it was but O M G we were transported to another dimension. As soon as it was over our teacher went next door to find out what it was, came back and wrote it on the blackboard. That was 60 years ago and ever time I hear it I'm back in that classroom trying to learn French.

The focus in this piece lies on the extreme development of increasing sound and energy. Truly a masterpiece. Reducing things is also part of art!
When I was living in Dallas, TX many years ago, I remember this piece being frequently played on the classical music station WRR 101.1 FM. Every time it was played I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the genius of this composition, especially with its use of different instruments to intensify the cadence as it progressed. Truly a masterpiece. Merci Maestro Pavel and thank you WRR.
I remember when I was 5-6 years old ( now I'm 22 ) my grandpa had a collection of classical music in cd format and Bolero appeared in one of those , I had a strong attraction to this one first time I heard it , every time we went out in the car I always asked him to put this theme and my grandpa always talking to me about this kind of music and history (I can barely remember those conversations , but he did) , very wise man my grandpa , very good memories from childhood , he is still alive and we still talk about music , history , painters and a lot more with the only difference that I'm able now to have some drinks , and a good wine is always there in our conversations , very glad to have that man by my side.
Take care of your grandpa.
@Alexandru Popa In my opinion, you can look at in several ways, but from mine you look at it as a nice journey (and obviously it is mental journey) that could lead to the paroxism of life... Success, Ejaculation, or Death... It doesn't really matter as long as everyone can feei something with it

I can't listen to a 'modern' song that's over 4 minutes but I'll listen to this over and over and over again and never get sick of it!
You know Ravel listened to this in his head for months... years...
Not once every few days, this is what he heard in his head almost all day every day from around the first time it came to him, until the day his brain finally died.
Did you then enjoy the adsense distupting Ravel's Bolero too, or do you think they are part of the concept?

This song always takes me back to my childhood. Sitting in the den of my grandparent's house on Christmas day, my most treasured toy gripped firmly in hand as the adults talked around me. I wouldn't go back, but I treasure the memory.
One of the best composers of all time to me.
I first heard this as a 7 year old on a wind up gramaphone ! now at 70 i still listen to this inspiring music, albeit on far better equipment, times do change but fortunately Bolero does not !
I first heard this as a nine year old, with my Grandfather and my Mom, and then in 84 when Torvill and Dean danced to it in Serbia a year later, I'll be 50 in July, it always brought tears to my Mom's eyes, now it does the same for me...
Yes!!!! That timeless beat on the timpani!
Makes me real happy to read thoughtful comments like these :)
That's very lovely!
Oh, I wish you were my grandpa
This is actually my perfect piece for studying. It's something exciting for the background that motivates me and at the same time there isn't a much going on with the melody so i can concentrate. Beautiful.
Lovely this music is a Genus plan and I love every melody 🎵
I like it for quiet work bit only for the first few minutes, once the build up...builds up, it's no longer background music for me. Glad to see someone enjoys it that way too. :)
I was thinking the same thing
@@amerigobaldovino5786 ❤
Same actually. I can lose myself to the rhythm and through that, focus on what's in front of me and what I need to do. As if it's orderly formatting my thoughts with each beat. I love this song.
Reading the stories of people who's parent, grandparents, etc , warms my heart. My elderly father was walking through the room the other day and just said "Bolero." In that moment, we found something else in common, and I'll be forever grateful for that.
I first heard Ravel's Bolero when I was 14. I was mesmerized and still get goosebumps when I hear it! What a magnificent composer! Thank you for giving me your gift to cherish.
I believe I was twelve, or almost twelve, when I first heard it in a music lesson. Needless to say, I took the CD and played it on my DVD player many nights to fall asleep 😅 After a while the loud ending didn't even disturb my rest 😂
I went here bc my teacher said that we need to listen to Bolero for homework. If I didn't listen to her I think I would never hear how amazing this actually is!
Me too
Same thing happened to me, it’s been 3 years and I’m still here
man u get such cool homework all i get is linear algebra and weird integrals
@@aziz99 Thats math not music lol
my teacher also
You haven't lived until you've rode a spinning bike to this. An old instructor of mine often used this as the final track of the class and turned off the lights. The build to the end combined with the gradual increase of resistance on the bike and someone shouting at you to haul ass to the imaginary finish line is utterly perfect.
In 1980, on the 80th birthday of legendary conductor Eugene Ormandy,on the 80th anniversary of the Philadelphia Orchestra I sat first row center balcony at the legendary Bridges Auditorium in Clairmont, California and saw this wonderful composition performed to the utmost perfection...memory stays embedded in my heart and soul to this day.
this is easily the most memorable piece of music in history.
Here in Brazil we admire Maurice Ravel. His music elevates us and makes the world a better place.

yeah same thing with other classical music
The word is "Frisson" - the sensation when your scalp tingles and all your hair stands up. Your brain is recognizing the pattern from the beginning, but by the end it's so powerfully presented that even as a familiar thing it's -profound-.
No
Aging, illness, forced retire, exhausted to do anything but Bolero always lifts a shred of light that my life still has something left to say. And I have to agree.
C'est une merveille de chef d'oeuvre, qui va en crescendo. Je l'écoute sans m'en lasser. J'adore la precision des notes de chaQue instrument. Sublime. Merci MR RAVEL. RIP
A chaque fois que je l’ écoute je découvre quelque chose, c’ est une musique envoûtante, mystérieuse......un chef-d’œuvre...
At 57 yrs. I think about my father in the living room sitting in the recliner in the den and me sitting next to him and feeling awesome. We heard this on the family lp player before wifi cable and mobile phones. My mom sitting by his side as well. I will never forget.
We had it good life is still awesome
Robert Welch you made my day with your comment, same scene in my family...
I was not there, but as a spectator, I can see how picturesque that must have been.
Yes is of the best
My first encounter with this song was when I was a kid watching Digimon. I remember asking my mom what was that music because for me watching two big monsters fighting with the song in the background was magnificent. Such a beautiful song. Makes me cry everytime and me after 18 years, my internal kid still remembers the two monsters fighting each other. What bad and good is, what life is...
yep i only discoverd that this is a real song after i watched a review of digimon adventure last evolution before that i thought it was a original digimon soundtrack haha but i loving it if i hear it i always think about digimon and my childhood
I'm here after Digimon Adventure too.
I have seen this song used a lot by the Japanese in many animations.
Digimon Adventure 2, the underwater scene with Submarinemon. God the nostalgia
Same. The Digimon adventure scene with this music was spectacular
Me too
После прослушивание этой музыки хочется совершать поступки, и достигать вершин. Это произведение очень подходит духу приключений и преодолению всех препятствий!
Boléro is a form of dance and music that originated in 18th-century Spain, first developed as the dance. Bolero is intended to be a slow, danceable love song, given that romantic love is the main theme of bolero music.
There is just something so relaxing about this piece. It's almost like I could put this on repeat for a long time and never get tired of it.
it is on repeat

@@vasileiospetalidis3840 came for this comment
What I love is that Bolero isn't really a musical piece, it is more of a hypnotic demonstration. It's delightfully simple in structure, predominantly set in the C major key save for the finale, and no dramatic change in tempo or rhythm, yet it's a mishmash of instruments that would be an absolute nightmare to put together. Yet if it's done right, you can point out each instrument clearly.
It really drives home how each instrument not only has a distinct voice, but a meaning. Nothing here is undervalued, they play to their strengths. From as soft as the celesta twinkling alongside the piccolo, to the jazzy and loud trombone melody solo, Ravel demonstrated that he completely understood and appreciated his instruments, and thus, he was a true master.
Oh, it's also nice to listen to.
It's an orchestral warm up.
what ever that means , !!!!! I am here just because your last statement. Nice to listen to.
If ever there was anything to do around the home I put my earphones on and play this piece of music and just get on with it
As Ravel said 'it's my masterpeice, but there's no music in it,'
Mesmerizing
Il faut que le monde entier écoute cela (noir,jaune,blanc, bronzé.....)
Seul avec soit même.
Un bonheur émotionnel.
My mom loved this song. I hope you’re listening to this up in heaven 💕…
I remember that my parents took my sister and me to classical concerts several times. And I remember one of them had Bolero in it. We were sitting all the way at the front, near the actual orchestra. I must have been something like 10 or 12 or so. It was magnificent. But what I most remember is the sheer pressure that the orchestra produced as the number progresses. A physical feeling you can feel running through your body as it reaches it's crescendo. I will never forget that memory.
I'd LOVE to see this played live!
I was struck by your proper grammar in your opening sentence, but then disappointed towards the end when you used it's as a possessive 😶

if you ever heard this live. it will forever be part of you. it just opens the skies and heavens as you can never imagine
I think I'd cry my eyes out from the sheer beauty of it.
I just did, an hour ago...at "philharmonie de Paris" and I can't get rid of it, I had to come here and listen to it again

I fell asleep
i did. in philharmonic of Sacramento. It was amazing.
Truly one of the greatest musical compositions of all time.
I will forever remember my Dad through this Orchestral piece of magnificent music. My Dad worked for classified Government and I am very proud of him! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
My POV : 24 years old, unemployed, bearing the pressure from family, sad, stressed, disappointed and feeling low, finding my solace in this beautiful progressive classical music masterpiece making me forget of all the negative feelings in life, giving me a positive perspective to life.
Thank you Maurice Ravel for this. I needed this. this tune. It's beautiful. ❤️
Things will get better my man, Take care of yourself.
You will be fine, Whole life ahead of you.
Been there at that age, Now double that age and there again!
But this time I saved for a rainy day, My advice is once you get back up put a little money away each week, So that if it happens again you will be ok. ;)
are you talking about me?
Estou aqui , no Brasil, sentindo o mesmo. Força para todos nós!
25 here and the same. HIGH FIVE!
I can't stop listening to it. I am tired of every other music since I have finally found Bolero.
awSm u sir probably have dementia!
C'est une pure merveille !!! Y'a pas d'autres mots 💛😊
I listened to this over and over again at age 3. Ravel is still my soul mate.
I like how this theme never gets old throughout the entire piece.
Instead of "theme" I read "meme" and I agreed completly
It's genius really, one of the things this song showcases is the importance and effect of volume and timbre.

So this piece is a proponent of the Big Rip theory. Interesting..
Sérieux je n'écoute pas assez de musique classique, je vais remédier ! C'est trop beau... Lente montée en puissance époustouflante !
I am sitting here in floods of tears a stunning piece!
he wrote this piece as he was suffering frontal lobe dementia. he thought he was going mad, he couldnt move past the 8 bar loop, no matter how hard he tried. that is the reason the song over 36 bars adds instruments and increases in volume. he had no other way to make the song sound complete. during one of its famous performances, a lady started shouting "maurice you are mad". in which he replied, "you my dear are the only one who understands this music"
Wow if true (as I have not yet verified for myself and then believe it's true) than it is quite amazing.

Not sure if this helps but you should listen to
Radiolab’s episode unraveling bolero.
They talk about it.
Ravel did suffer from neurodegeneration, but the symptoms appeared clearly around 1933. The bolero was composed in 1927 as an exercice, built on an ostinato. The piece became famous despite the fact that he considered it a simple experimentation, but in any case his mind was totally sane when he composed it.

Oui?
In Brazil there is a city that every sunset a man plays this music on a boat in a river. Jacaré beach in João Pessoa. It's a cultural thing, it starts in 80's, if I am not wrong.

Que essa tradição continue!
Wow!! :) That is so interesting - because I come from Romania, and we have a beach where every day every summer there is a bar that also plays this song at the sunrise early in the morning:) Isnt that amazing? The other end of the world and you find this beautiful ritual... I wonder if they are connected:) Maybe the bar owner was in Brazil on that beach:) Or it would be nice to think its just a beautiful coincidence of this magical world:)

URM eu queria que todos os brasileiros tivessem a capacidade de apreciar esse som maravilhoso...
One of my favorites. Simple and cathartic, as every good piece of art.
Start small, finish big. Never stop, change, evolve, come back, go forth and let the world see how incredible you can be.
Bolero started out as a ballet score commissioned by dancer Ida Rubinstein. Her troupe danced the composition's first performance at the Paris Opera in 1928. It was an instant hit.
Ravel, whose roots were in the Basque country on the French-Spanish border, originally called the piece Fandango. As romantic as it may seem, Ravel said the pulsing, rhythmic composition was inspired by one of the factories he had visited with his father, who was an engineer.
He keeps adding instruments, keeps changing the orchestration. But he doesn't change the tune, harmony, or the rhythm. Nothing changes except the orchestration and the volume.
Yet although Ravel considered Bolero one of his least important works, it has always been his most popular.
Also this is Baisean folk dance - dannaba.
That last bit hurts true. It would seem it is seldom the piece one wants heard that reaches the hearth of the audience.
@@xunk16 Baise is the province in southern Jordan.
and Ravel didn't understand that popularity. He said "They like it, but there is no music in it".
Well he has said that Bolero is his only masterpiece, it’s just that it’s only “orchestral tissue with no music”
Who's also here just because you friggin' love this piece of art?
Me!
Im here bc of school lol
no, it's shit. I hate music class
Actually I'm here because my music theory teacher told me I should hear it. And oh man was she right!

When I was young, I had a Classical music CD. I listened to the same one over and over and over again before going to bed.
This was second to last piece of that "album." I don't remember the last one, but this one had so much impact that I forgot.
I have no idea how I went to sleep each night.
That was amazing and epic. The slow crescendo of intensity was simply beautiful.
You can feel the crescendo so much that it swells inside you like fire.

Chef d'oeuvre absolu !
Every piece of music has that one catchy part that sticks with you. This whole thing is just that part looping over and over but evolving.
This is so beautiful, a refreshing interlude in the madness and chaos of today. I came here looking for solace and found it.
Funnily enough created by a man going mad in his own right.
Me too.
No me canso de escuchar esta piezza maestra.
