"Bohemian Rhapsody"--THE LONDON HORN SOUND

Played by 8 French horns, 8 Wagner tubas, Piano, Bass & Drums

It's incredible how they got a horn to sound so much like a piano

[@CyberShinyNinja]

Just the fact that they have thirty freakin' two horns playing all in tune is enough to impress me. The song just makes it that much better!

[@williamnabors5185]

I'm assuming that part must be a lie, because there aren't 32 horns who have ever played in tune even on their own. We develop a genetic allergy to being in tune that clogs your throat withing 5 cents of just temperament.

[@dwlock100]

French horn. Greatest instrument next to the human voice. Thanks Freddie.

[@jbailess1]

Being a horn player and hearing this arrangement has my mind blown.

[@MrHawk1904]

love the combination of Stopped, Muted and open horn ^-^

[@kylegoosen213]

Ally Hawkins it amazes me how well the play together with a stopped horn. It is such a hard thing to do in tune, let alone multiple people together

[@celerysticks]

I agree with you greatly

[@myriahwiseman557]

i love playing and hearing the French horn😍😍

[@jonathanvazquez6747]

Myriah Wiseman

[@trevorjensen2706]

[@dilanbasaran1991]

[@revaeb6610]

We played bohemian rhapsody in 7th grade, the french horn part was fun!

[@FunkyFernDog]

The sound quality of these horns is amazing and beautiful.

[@lilyevans1437]

For marching band this year my band is playing this song and I just shared this with everyone in the band.

[@taylarjean6021]

Lizzy Beth do you have a video of your show?

[@stripedman201]

The french is the most majestic Instrument ever..... And the range is freaking amazing. That guitar was amazing also

[@karlie7]

I agree!!

[@LAMADDOGMADDIN]

I love the music of the french horn. So peaceful and so great of a sound. I am so lucky to be able to hear this music.

[@chrystalmoco11]

yea... I'm definitely going to start playing my horn again - that was absolutely AMAZING! Horns are the best instruments I swear!

[@bananababy28]

I love Richard Bissill's arrangements. They're simply amazing.

[@juleskoudelka]

I can not wait to own my own French Horn. Oh how I miss that extraordinary instrument.

[@sblank69]

Julia Ivey Did you ever get it?

[@juleskoudelka]

I haven't, but one day. :)

[@michaelfreer36]

[@anonymousfrog1334]

[@nobody8821]

[@schlockading]

Sounds like the guy at 2:49 had been waiting to play that solo his entire life!

[@kolbeinnsveinsson1098]

I play horn and this is so amazing!

[@julieeuripidou]

Perfection, 32 horns and great arrangement.

[@jam4541]

I'm seriously about to cry OML

[@jam4541]

I did fml AGH

[@stripedman201]

The french is the most majestic Instrument ever..... And the range is freaking amazing

[@singer2477]

I think i just screamed out of excitement. This many horns together... I can only dream. I will find music. Must. I'm way too excited...

[@mcj05]

OMG that is just epic. I need to find some other horn players to play this with!

[@jakeblaine2380]

Oh God, this is so amazing! I love queen :D And french horns :D

[@jhat2014]

When the two highest comments are about how much they jizzed when listening to this piece, you know it is AWESOME.

[@KinginHall]

this is perfect. My favorite song in the world, on my favorite instruments!!!

[@ssjess2504]

I was lucky enough to perform this song in two different horn choirs and it's easily one of my favorites of all time to play

[@ahmedabdalla8849]

This is perfect, just perfect.

[@karlie7]

This is great!!! Listening & seeing the 10, 11 years old comments makes me think of my childhood!

[@xXxAlexis2015xXx]

Best thing I've ever heard in my life.

[@zxqwerxz2]

honestly, same here. I regret choosing clarinet... wish i chose horn

[@Riddlesfordays_]

.+*MC ice MC*+. I’m a horn and I’m now screen shoting your caption to expose my fellow clarinet friends

[@mianavarro4102]

I got to choose if I wanted to be a clarinet or a horn, I chose horn because it looked cooler, all my friends were clarinet girls. I'm glad I chose horn because now i'm second chair. :) Clarinet is still good too! After six years and me replying right now, do you still play clarinet..???? Or any instrument perhaps? That would be so cool! -Your fellow french horn player. :)

[@juliannamanno4683]

i’m switching from flute to horn

[@Flutefella11]

These guys are soooo amazing!!!!

[@SAKOscar1796]

wow i love this! as a french horn player i love to hear people better than me play and try to be inspired to be this good!

[@freddyratly]

Beautiful! I love it!

[@BrianAGoodwin]

sounds like a concert f (horn high c) during the guitar solo section

[@Silas28042000]

this is amazing

[@TruAgape123]

Awesome!!!!!

[@CaritoAVerdun]

Amazing!!!!!! OMG!

[@strickkarl]

incredible!

[@henriquealves9315]

AWESOME

[@abbxdraws437]

this awsome!!!!!!!!!!

[@Trombone590]

Wow,Wow,Wow, I did not know that you could use horns and make it so beautiful. Now i am going to write this for a contest.

[@acc704]

awesome!

[@derrydump]

I am a horn player who loves the sound of the horn above all other instruments. When horns are used in place of the voice it sounds wonderful - but usually does NOT work as a replacement for the guitar. Then it becomes a novelty.

[@Danthepilotman19]

awesome just awesome! - Proud French Horn player

[@carissabobko1155]

Awesome I play french horn.

[@charlesbarry971]

Great playing of a number associated with Queen.

[@507294iloveindira]

this song is awsome

[@atli8d20]

Can´t get any better than that

[@Lynnderson12]

Played this at the BHS festival masterclass thingamibob. Awesome.

[@tarimtarimtarim]

I just played this together with the horn students from the udk berlin. Sounds great!!!!!!

[@mizzflex2]

Gives me good warm fuzzy feelings. French horns have such a beautiful soothing sound. I am kind of biased though since I am a horn player.

[@NRiv91]

¡Hermosísimo! :')

[@juancarloscasella925]

Un sonido especial.

[@camiloalejandrosalgadomedi2922]

Alfin encontre a alguen que hable español

[@Jan2303]

genial

[@TheKingOfAmazement]

wow. nothing can explain how i feel other than WOW

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

The inscription has been changed. It used to only say horns. They changed it either because of my comment of because other people also contacted them pointing out that there were clearly other instruments that they neglected to list. I'm' glad to see that they finally added them all.

[@REXY309]

this songs make u emotional

[@gamerconway636]

i almost died when this was sooooo stinking great

[@ILiekTreeckos]

32 french hornists but they have piano, it would be cooler if it that part was also played on horn

[@Jscooly555]

I guess it would be possible but piano can play chords...

[@christianabrego8447]

Jacksc Just get multiple horns to play each note of the chord

[@Jscooly555]

True but could be hard to get the balance right

[@jonathanvazquez6747]

ILiekTreeckos

[@MrDemonslayer1337]

That would mess up balance and make it sound muddy

[@michaelluther7421]

youve got a loooonnnggg way to go to play this

[@tazeish]

Nice horns in the beginnig for some sample mpc!

[@musicforall182]

This is going on my iPod RIGHT NOW.

[@dpadilla756]

My son just started 6th grade and wants to play the french horn..I wasn't to sure about it since it seems that it sounds like a dying whale from the bedroom but in the last few weeks hes sounding much better and has a concert tonight. I'm going to show him this video tonight..I'm sure he will love it!

[@mypianopeace]

I love horn …♪☆

[@4year4thyear]

2:49 I lost it.

[@Mellomaphoneluver]

@B4Marchingband W00T! Go French Horn!

[@ShShSh1992]

5:28 Goosebumps 'till the end

[@eslaguitarradearturo6997]

Yo también estoy trabajando en un arreglo de Bohemian Rhapsody 💜

[@girlfemalewoman]

@robbiewillrock I used to dream of mastering the french horn....sigh... such a beautiful instrument!

[@km426]

I always thought the french horn didn't have a nice tone but this has changed my view completely i think it was the sound of people who aren't very good at which put me off

[@seasidefoto]

I play phone. I mean iPhone. But this is incredible!

[@ericbelify]

I cried a little bit :)

[@yoman21a]

Must have sheet music :D

[@jerelull2619]

Yup! would be fun

[@nannymac47]

@12stuart23 Too true and a few more places too.

[@jefeltner11]

I'm 13. I play french horn. My band teacher showed me this in class. I wish I could play this good

[@ramujaku]

you’re 20 now you still play?

[@nannymac47]

@Stankinator911 I used to play French Horn in the alto sax section of our high school dance band. It really mellowed out the saxes. Very, very sexy, not saxy. ;D

[@derrydump]

@misteramerica112, If anyone thinks that horn players can't rock, swing, or play other than "classical" music should check out David Amram, Julius Watkins, Gunther Schuller, Vincent Chancy, Jacquelyn Adams, Mark Taylor, etc.

[@TigaToonsELTiagor]

I bet Sarah Willis is here.

[@juliannamanno4683]

i’m starting seventh grade band and switching from flute to french horn... kinda nervous cuz everyone says french horn is hard but it’s a beautiful instrument so it’s fine lol pls help hahaha

[@hancuffs]

Any song with french horn with a melody is automaticly better

[@REXY309]

1:04 best part

[@girlfemalewoman]

@Stankinator911 I thought that, too.

[@StuartClark94]

eargasm'd ......

[@jefeltner11]

Oh, I also play trumpet and piano. (Really good at trumpet!)

[@MrMadHatterh]

Secretly, all woodwinds want to be brass. I myself am a clarinetist and I've decided that reed is weed and brass is class: I'm starting with horn...

[@zaxxo1]

and a drumkit :P

[@michaelleiva1]

soy de chile .¿como puedo conseguir esta musica y esta pista acá? muchas gracias.

[@griffinlogan7115]

not to mention the drums

[@thewsquared]

Anyone know the highest note in the 1st horn part?

[@JWHorn10]

Anyway to get the sheet music or something for this? I'd love to have it and play it.

[@eslaguitarradearturo6997]

5:04💜💜💜

[@CadeShredz]

And a drumset!

[@sophie777277]

@TheJaredtheJaredlong oh i see

[@theyellowyoshi]

If only I could find 32 horn players...

[@klklklklaudia115]

have you sheet for bohemian rhapsody ? :)

[@WoWKoest]

@tyzon05 I tend to do half and half lol

[@notafurry5965]

I went to UNT for music when I was younger to play French horn, but when I got to 2:50 I was like WTF

[@RemedialMan]

Multi-likes.

[@jimscape]

Keep Playing. You'll get this good and better. Maybe try other instruments too like piano and such. Never quit the horn since it's so hard to build up chops once one puts down the instrument.

[@REXY309]

@Busdriver580 came where? London?

[@helagiaever26]
