Ievanman (Wellerman Sea Shanty and Ievan Polkka)
ฝัง

- There have been a couple of viral music trends I've enjoyed recently: the TikTok mashup of the sea shanty Wellerman, and the resurgence of an old Finnish polka called "Ievan Polkka", played by a blind Turkish drummer and accompanied by a "vibing cat". Both are earworms, and I thought, "Hey, what if they went together?" This was the result: two meme songs for one! I had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I pre-recorded the trumpet parts down an octave on a Mack euphonium (courtesy of Don Willems), and pitched them up using software. Similarly, the euphonium part is pitched up a perfect 5th to mimic the French horn. - เพลง

The guy in the blue shirt is really talented
I prefer the dude with black sneakers tbh.
But obviously the guy with the glasses does the best job
Personally I think the guy with the black trousers is best
I think the guy with the beard is the BEST
But can't we talk about the dude with the black hair???
What every high school band director wishes their brass sounded like.
Exactly
The TRUTH
@@zielonythewolf5069 hello other furry comrade
@@unknownhornplayer4055 Hello there
@@zielonythewolf5069 hi I like your fursona name
no joke took me 40 seconds to notice that there weren't 4 different people playing
You are not the first person to say that! Maybe I'll wear different hats next time and really throw people off.
the Trombone slide gives it away
There weren't 4 poeple?
You're right, there were 5 !
@@IsaacSmithComposer also watch out for light coming through the windows it gives it away
Best use of Shadow Clone Jutsu ever.
I just realised it’s the same person after reading the comment
Have you seen NigaHiga's version?
facts
Yes.
True
This is the embodiment of "Fine, I'll do it myself" and I love it
Wow, five musically talented siblings!
Yeah, but the grocery bills are insane!
@@IsaacSmithComposer Keep feedin' em well!
The left one is best!
The one in the blue shirt is the best at music though.
Quintuplets!
I can't be the only one who watched half of this before realizing they're all the same person.
the intro was dead giveaway to that fact, "arranged and performed by Isaac Smith."
Nope
I only worked it out by reading the comments lol
You're not. The only time it's visually obvious is when the trombone gets cut off occasionally.
Who knew putting two vibing songs together is a good idea
Issac Smith
It’s like combining chocolate chip cookies and garlic bread to make a delicious appetizssert
The first time I heard Wellerman, it reminded me of Ievan, so I thought it'd be cool to see if the chords for both songs were the same. Didn't get around to it, though, also didn't think to layer the two songs. I'm glad this guy did!
I love that every few years Ievan Polkka resurfaces into the mainstream
"Your clones are very impressive, you must be proud"
Magnificent aren’t they
I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the galaxy
Those transitions were _so wicked_ smooth!
Also, happy to see a new video!
@@Ohika Thanks! Been a minute. Have you seen the Game Brass Zelda videos that have been coming out? I recorded that album with them (which is why the channel went dark for a bit). New videos every couple weeks until the full album drops!
Man cloned himself just to play this, mad respect bro
(the Wellerman in brass sounds as if they where recieving the Wellerman with high honours, just like knights comig back from a great victory in the battlefield)
The editing is really good because if you take a very close look, you can tell that the stand he’s using to read the music is in ONE central location and these edited clips together form the whole room without the stand. Not only is this piece carefully arranged but so is his editing and chair placement
Ooh! You're the first person to notice the missing stand! Well done, I thought I was pretty clever hiding it so.
I can't tell, where is the stand supposed to be?
@Potterfanz it's in different places I think, far left is looking right and 2nd from left is looking left so I assume it's in the cut where the next chair is but gets keyed out when he edits, only way you can see the diffent cuts is in lighting 😅 it's really good editing
I bet he developed a stand after making this video
I personally play the French Horn and was wondering where I could find the music to this. Is it possible for you to send a link on where you found the music?
The Republic didn't just build a clone army, they also built a band😃
You deserve WAY more views. Sounds awesome!
Hey, thanks! I just enjoy doing my thing and making music!
At first I was a little spooked how well he transitioned from Wellerman to the Polka however after hearing both their melodies at the same time without the lyrics I can see how close the two songs actually are.
This is so fun! Love the loose rhythms in the trumpet part around 2:10 and trombone melody is always on-point!
In the original, one of the singers scats a few choruses! I thought I'd pay homage here. Also, there are literally zero bars of rest in the bone part... good thing I knew who my players were going to be!
Is that possible to play the whole song in this style? That’s awesome!
Wellerman was already a treat but the ivean polka was a treat. Haven't heard that song in years :)
Hearing this in the brass instruments gives it more of a battle theme for both songs
I saw a piano mashup of these songs. But with all those horns/trumpets it has a whole other feeling. Love it💪
This is so clear??! And so well done?!? I've been looking for a good mashup of these and did NOT expect to find it with brass instruments. Mad respect.

That's what brought me here : )
The sound is so clear and pure. You've got skills, bro.
"One day when the tonguing is done"...put this in brass context. It made me laugh.
The thought crossed my mind! Glad I'm not the only one.
I think non-musicians in the audience are grossly underestimating how good you are
Imagine my shock when I saw this had less than 4,000 views. TH-cam recommendations gave some good content today!
in two weeks it's nearly up to 50k views :D
@@kai9313 100k now
@@theexcaliburone5933 245k and climbing! Well done, algorithm!
That tuba though 😌😌😌
Hail to the Tuba
i wish me and my 4 identical twins could do something like this
The blue guy:
Fine, I’ll do it myself
Literally me when all the live performances got cancelled due to COVID.
It took me a solid minute to realize this is all the same guy.
Ooh, and then that accelerando into the next section!! Brilliantly done!
The new definition of "Circle of perfect fifths"......good, job!
The sound gives me Christopher Bill vibes and honestly, I'm all for it
Wow, Quintuplets! I've never seen such identical chairs before.
The sea shanty that just keeps on giving.
The amount of skill in matching your own tempo and exact intonation 5 fucking times for this long ass CRAFTED piece. God damn bravo sir
That is a freaking masterwork, only a genius could think of such a perfect combination!!!
underrated video and performance
Holy cow this deserves so much more credit than it has. This arrangement and execution is stunning
Ievan Polkka is one of my all time favourites✨ and this version of its with Wellerman is also one of my all time favourites now.😻✨😊
I just love this version... I come back here and there for this
I just heard these two songs back to back by coincidence and thought someone should mash them up. I'm delighted to see someone else had the same thought and executed it so well!
+1 for those old enough to remember the polka as the leek song
Hatsune Miku and the magical leek
probably the cleanest sounding version iv heard! Fantastic!
This is what it’s like in my head randomly swapping between different songs
As a fan of Maeve Lander and Seb Skelly, I'm excited to see another channel doing great brass multitracking!
Seb is one of the reasons I got into it! I chatted with him about the pitch shifting before I started, he helped me out a lot.
Grow, grow the lightning tree, never give up too easily.
I am living for the euphonium representation.
Euphonium is best phonium
Man I can't believe how good the pitch-shifted "trumpets" sound - I've only ever heard trumpets imitating low brass the other way around. Also impressive how tight your rhythm and intonation all fit together.
Me neither! I saw Seb Skelly's quintet, and wondered if I could do the same. I have to mess with the formants and the EQ a bit, but it works better than I ever expected.
@@IsaacSmithComposer wow, so you're just miming the trumpet in the video?
@@bacicinvatteneaca Yep! That's what it says in the description. I did one with euphs in the trumpet spots and it just didn't *look* right.
Utterly magnificent. The arrangement is stunning. I love the dynamics. Great chops, man.
I like the guy with the bell on his instrument 🎺
really well edited! Nice!
His whole family is so talented. Who would think all 5 brothers were so gifted
To the one person who disliked, dude why?? This is really nice!!
Likely a salty French horn player. You can't please everybody!
They really said not enough strings
@@Donovangreat I have always been terrible at stringed instruments! Trust me, we're all better off if I don't try to include them in the videos.
I hope it was a misclick
Only woodwinds disliked
I love when you start swinging a bit at 2:07
I... never knew how much I wanted this
Love it when all five of yourself join in for Wellerman. :D
The blue shirted guy is so good at this
This was a gift to behold! I came across this by accident, but so glad I did!
That was tight. You sounded amazing!
Brass bands of this compliment always give me a Civil War feeling. Great stuff!
Randomly got it in my recommendations, this video may blow up in some time.
Dude excellent! I remember all of these stages of Isaac performing. So great to hear you play them all again!
Can't wait to hear these guys live
this should be every country's anthem.
This is actually really well done. To phase from the shanty to levan is very well done, you kill it on the bass, as well as the balance. You somehow got me to like levan Polkka as well so, props to you.
So nice to see Gordon and the Freemans have a talent for music.
Dear Mr. Smith, thank you for the effort and thanks for sharing aswell.
This is an amazing mashup! Never heard of you before this video. You earned a new subscriber!
Yt is putting this in our recommendations.... its happening.... the levenman
You ever had a person open the door to see all five of you like this and promptly noped out before? I feel like I would while thinking "Am I trippin'...? There's 5 of them..."
Is it me or does a bouncy brass music just make you think of Christmas?
This deserves a sub my man. Good work!
Enjoyed a lot! Thank you!
Absolutely incredible!!! So much talent right here
I’ve been saying this needs to happen! Thank god you delivered
this is great editing i can see that the work he put into this because u can see that he kept the camera at the same spot the whole time and also u can see in between every chair there is a line where a different instrument is being played
Friends this is legendary !! This man is pure talent!! 😀😁
Such two separate and wildly differently styled pieces of music have no business harmonizing this well, dammit! 😂
The raw skill and control are outstanding
You’re videos are great always glad to see them
It's nice to be part of quintuplets for such purposes 😆
Erm, yeah, great editing and great performance 😉!
Bro, the guy in the chair was killing that part with the horn.
So funny. I love your video. i've been following levan polka for about 6 years at least, and it's absolutely amazing how it is universally appealing, and so many funny things have been done with it. i believe i have noticed an old rock song that has a very different feel, but in someways similar vibe, that may also dovetail perfectly with Levan Polka, that's going to be an interesting project for me, coming to a TH-cam theatre SOON !!!!
I came here for a sick acoustic mashup but had to wait for 2 and a half min till I got it. Nice job regardless!
Outstanding!
Can’t wait for this to be on everyone’s recommended in the future. Hello people of the future!
I love how when 1 part takes a break it looks like he's bobbing to the music
"Divine love and always every human." Really makes you think...
really nice arrangement of both pieces!
Awesome. :) Isaac you have done a wonderful job here in not destroying two great bits of music. I'd love to see Hanni Autere's reaction to this. :)
Simply beautiful
Nice execution, CONGRATULATIONS!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's just so clean
Thank you for this. My brain put these 2 together the other day after realizing they could work and it got stuck in my head
Very good! Nice arrangement!
Very nice idea, well executed, respect
I love this version! Very well done! Greetings from Czech Republic! 😊
This was super cool!
2 of my favourite songs!!!
The blending is giving me life
Ive arranged my own brass/woodwind quartets and string quintets but you just inspired me to get them performed (even though i cant play as many instruments as you can)
