Please keep this up. This is the music education that we do not receive in our general schools. You’re creating a good environment for budding classical musicians who want a larger grasp on how the sections work. Thank you ❤️
I wonder how many people realise how difficult the seemingly easy opening at 11:00 really is. There's real value in these videos. I hope they continue.
beautiful video.I love how you chronologically go through the use of the WW section by various composers starting from Haydn all the way to the 20th century, Inspired me to write pieces for WW section (I am a beginning composing student) Thank you! There is nothing like hearing bassoon and oboe etc., play live in a room. The purity of the acoustic sound will never go away. So hang on Philharmonia, you will be back!
What a fantastic set of musical resources! I'm not a classically trained musician (short of a few years of classical guitar as a child) but I am passionate composer of virtual orchestration with virtual instruments (software). The quality and complexity of virtual orchestral instruments today is profound, but like real instruments they take much practice to master (which is not to equate them with learning the real thing. Both take much discipline and commitment). This channel helps me to develop an affinity with those musicians, such as dynamics, breath control and pacing, legato and other articulations, all of which have their equivalent in the virtual orchestration world and are also fiendishly difficult to control and master to produce a great sound. What a fantastic time to be a musician!
What a marvelous bringing together of this beloved section by pristine players for our education. "...much greater than the sum of its parts." Perfect. So many thanks!
Love these breakdowns of each section. I struggle with how to best use the woodwinds when writing, these videos are very useful to get a solid grounding in the strengths of the instruments
I've been a "non-classical" musician for about half a century now. My father was a huge fan and had a massive record collection of classical music which I was bought up listening to so the appeal kind of rubbed off on me. However, it hasn't been until recently; since I've been delving into the "science" of virtual orchestration with the incredible sample libraries us mere mortals can get these days and play with on a computer, that I've really started getting into "how an orchestra works". I'm even doing an online course in orchestration with strings. This video was excellent. Well presented, interesting and informative and fulfilled an educational need we don't often get in this genre of music. Thank you.
Wonderful performances and explanations. At this moment, I do regret retiring from Oboe & Cor Anglais. My first teacher, Carlos Mullenix, stressed that we are singing through our instruments. Thank you.
i always wondered about the extreme body language in different sections of the orchestra, now i understand why it is so important, it really fascinates me.
Well, thanks for that. I am struggling as a composer who is in progrock with some scoring ideas and I appreciate your advices. I guess I can accommodate it in near future.
This is great! Beethoven's 5th spotlighting the woodwind section only? So many superlative examples of playing, and the tips from the musicians, themselves make this video a gold mine for any serious student of music.
Wonderful video - thank you so much for producing it. What brilliant players and fascinating insight into how they think and prepare. I have just bought a Woodwind sample library and this gives me so much inspiration and so many ideas (which will probably end up sounding like Postman Pat in my composition - but I won't let reality dampen my spirit just yet!)
As a composer, I look for instruments that sound good and will fit the mood in the compositions I make. Very interesting how the section of the woodwinds works in an orchestra.
Subscribed! The layout and composition has long been a mystery to me but with the help of resources like this and Spitfire Musics’s BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover plug in, I’m getting there…
Being a woodwind player is an uphill struggle. I can’t imagine the pressure of being an oboist. Making a sound out of your instrument is difficult enough never mind making a beautiful sound. Then once you’ve mastered the instrument to soloist level, something which isn’t asked of string players, finding a job is like finding a needle in a haystack. I spent the majority of my education in some of the top music institutions in the UK and very few of the wonderful woodwind players I went to school with are performing with any of the major orchestras. So tough.
The Woodwind Family (my opinion) Flute: Love it (tied with the bassoon for second favorite instrument) Piccolo: Hurts my ears (Really, it does) Oboe: Love it (I like the bassoon more though/second favorite double reed) English Horn: It’s really nice (My third favorite double reed) Clarinet: Love it (My favorite instrument/favorite single reed) Bassoon: Love it (My favorite double reed/low instrument) Contrabassoon: Eh... (Don’t really like it, I prefer the bassoon)
Mar.25/2023_somehow back here? @26:00 realized [again] value of this video production. Still must confess my lack of any talent. My recorder; {TENOR} 'gently-weeps' in solitude since I've had to admit humbly the reach 'is' difficult, as so many TH-cam videos mentioned. The thoughts from real professional artists is awesome, details with depth, inside knowledge only players of great caliber, can express clearly. Fabulous.
Fabulous video! I really enjoyed being able to listen to the wind part of famous pieces. For non players' benefits, could you please play (or demonstrate) what you mean by technical terms such as "double tonguing"? Thanks.
A beautifull video of the wood section. Beautifully explained and played, but it is a pity that the expansion in the low instruments, seems to me like the orphans of the wood section.

Thank you for you lovely feedback!

An introduction to the Brass section will be very much appreciated!

I’m a bassoon fan and this warms my heart.
This channel is one of the most informative music channel on TH-cam. Thank you so much for providing me with a much needed education.

Thanks, I have been writing music during the last 4 years and all this information really Help! Blessings from Bahia, Brazil!
It's great to hear that this film is useful for composers. Thanks for watching!

Awesome. Usefull and specific information. Many Thanks to all of you!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
i always wondered about the extreme body language in different sections of the orchestra, now i understand why it is so important, it really fascinates me.
Thanks a million. Wonderful lesson on woodwind. Now I can appreciate even more. Gratefully, Vin.
My favourite section! Wonderful video.
Thank you.
Was für wundervolle Klangfarben! Danke für das sehr interessante und informative Video.
Yes, please continue these highly educational videos. Fantastic! Wonderful! Thank you!
Woodwind instruments are beautiful sounds
I love the diversity of the woodwind section.
Well, thanks for that. I am struggling as a composer who is in progrock with some scoring ideas and I appreciate your advices. I guess I can accommodate it in near future.
Those videos are gems! Thank you very much!
thank you so much for such an incredible overview of the woodwinds
Thank you very much for inviting our ears to explore this exclusive world of wind instruments. Really, instructive fascinating video.
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating, I'm speechless!
Jill on the Cor Anglais is so fun .I watched her other videos.
I love this so much. When I write for orchestra, I'll make sure to have significant wind parts!!
I can't wait for the brass video
The variety of British accents is almost as varied as the colors of the instruments.
Oboe and bassoon are two of my favorite instruments
Peter Flom Me too
How are you doing today peter
I play clarinet so this was very informative and helpful thank you so much

Thanks for watching! We're glad you find it inspiring
always so interesting and fascinating. I do hope there will be also brass and percussion section
Awesome video! I’d like to see videos about the brass and percussion sections, as well as the harp/keyboard section.
Super interesting! Thanks!
Wonderful video and playing! Thanks for sharing!
I'm a flutist and it would be so cool to play in the woodwind section of the Philharmonia Orchestra
when I'm older...😍
Wonderful episode. Well done!
As a composer, I look for instruments that sound good and will fit the mood in the compositions I make. Very interesting how the section of the woodwinds works in an orchestra.
The host is just awesome...
I have met Mr. Bailey, played in his 'family orchestra' project down in Cornwall a few years ago. A highly passionate and inspired musician.
@@ZJStrudwick where does he live
Thanks a lot for an excellent video!
Thank you a lot for these absolutely useful videos!
How are you doing today roberto
There should be videos like this for the brass percussion and keyboard families
Wow, these videos are amazing!
Glad to hear you like them! Thank you for spending time on the channel.
Thank you Philharmonia!

Thank you, that was interesting and well done
Luv this!😁👊👁
Why is there so little material available for woodwind choir / section? It has such a nice sound.
I would have liked some insight from flautist June and piccolo player Keith
Fabulous video! I really enjoyed being able to listen to the wind part of famous pieces. For non players' benefits, could you please play (or demonstrate) what you mean by technical terms such as "double tonguing"? Thanks.
Details I expect only from a friend, Merry Christmas
Perfect
Excellent stuff. It would be nice to have something about earlier music
What are the oboes
A beautifull video of the wood section. Beautifully explained and played, but it is a pity that the expansion in the low instruments, seems to me like the orphans of the wood section.
Great perspectives here!
It would have been good to at least briefly discuss the saxes as well, especially in the Sigurd Rascher classical tradition.
Please make a brass and percussion section
Watch this space! 👀
My oldest sister went to the oboe, after clarent!👊😁
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How do I get the intro piece. From Nigeria
are you guys working on or are soon going to be working on a brass video i play horn and i’m very excited for the brass section
Keep your eyes peeled...
Does Sam (the principle flute) play on gold plated flute ?
I played the flute!👊😁
Was Mr. Coles' stolen flute ever found? If not, what has he chosen?
Please make cannons the next instrument guide, pleeeeeease!
👌👌👌
abs gorgous
Mr oboe looks at Mr flute really... disgustedly, but they probably are good friends
I'm just here for online school :(
