The blend of tone in the chorus is fantastic! Bright and colorful, woven neatly with the counter mood of the minor runs. A John Eccles investigation must ensue!

Just as I was watching your older videos while picking up my old classical guitar, this pops up in the feed. How convenient :D Your lessons and performances are great, you inspired me to play again :)

Nice, a new video from brandon

[@henryssfiaeva]

Merci ❤

[@teriscallon]

so lovely

[@bradleynorris9391]

Beautifully played. Amazing piece and work as usual. Keep up the good work!!

[@friedlotto]

The urge to pop a cheesy callipygian comment like: “Some fine ass playing” is killed stone dead by the sublime sound emanating from the speakers.

[@marquesguitarra]

Just the beautiful phrasing of the first line you played made me listen to the whole piece. I'm glad I listened. Beautiful work!!

[@Superiorform4]

This sounds almost modern to me - reminiscent of some film scores. Absolutely beautiful music.

[@aries_9130]

I was about to say that. It sounds incredibly modern for its age.

[@TintDiem]

I think it is the other way around: modern film scores sound like this.

[@hansmahr8627]

Pretty much everything film composers do or have done in the last 100 years has been stolen from the classical tradition. Mostly from Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Mahler but also from the atonal avantgarde and more recently from minimalists and post-minimalists. Hans Zimmer has made a whole career ripping off Philip Glass (of course Philip Glass has also made a career ripping off Philip Glass). Very few film composers are actually original, Ennio Morricone was one of the few who created their own sound.

[@山川川山]

Baroque style music was lately found though

[@LolLol-yn4gw]

It has the same few opening chords ig from The Godfather

[@alanloyd7164]

i'm like 10 seconds in an already on the verge of tears

[@aries_9130]

Absolutely amazing. As some others said, it sounds quite modern for its time. Now that I think about it even more as I'm listening, there's this one progression in it that's similar to Sting's "Shape of my heart".

[@vai160]

Such a beautiful piece! The first four notes remind me of Bieber Passacaglia 'The Guardian Angel'. Wonderful performance! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@crimsoneastwood1787]

I've never clicked on a video faster in my life as I did just today🤣

[@sormusoliver]

Been listening this quite a bit recently, sound wonderful! Just got a lute myself and I'm trying to get a proper hang of it. 8 course, I came from classical guitar.

[@cristinafernandesmpululu6663]

Listening to this beautiful song I see myself walking beneath a blue sky side by side to Jesus in a green valley with the most beautiful flowers where peace is abundant :)

[@nicolasmohamed279]

Really like this song ,id love to hear you play the sitar !

[@orssimon]

Awesome!

[@tonybiller6289]

Woah

[@gurleenkaur5738]

Ohh I can't tell how's the feeling right now😭........... Seems like the music is literally speaking to me

[@rabihonov]

This sounds like a mix of 4 classical pieces put together

[@jakebass74]

Doesn't matter if you're John Eccles or The Offspring, the ice cream changes get it done every time

[@arunvlog1275]

beautiful (धेरै राम्रो) 🏵️🌹❤️🇳🇵

[@kiyoematsuura]

I totally forgot about this until a friend sent it to me just now. We sound pretty dang good! 🤭

[@beneath_the_woods]

Stop looking at the camera, Marty! 1:28

[@bachfor2]

Actually, I was looking at Brandon.

[@beneath_the_woods]

@@bachfor2 Understandable, he is pretty handsome.

[@davidf3974]

Idk why this is being slept on judging by views this tracks a banger. I predict it'll be played in all the clubs or they'll be forced closed. Oh wait...

[@annabackman5204]

Is the theorbo actually that loud (compared to the violin and viola) or is it just the microphones are put that makes the theorbo so loud?

[@brandonacker]

No. I might have gotten carried away while making the audio mix... ;)

[@lashaghotvadze5966]

Can you do guitar arrangement of Mozart's lacrimosa ? :(

[@Rylee_G]

Omg I'm early! Hi everyone!! Good morning 😊

[@brandonacker]

Good morning :)

[@ebubekirhalc5636]

Great music. It would be greater if make a video about fretless guitar.

[@dr_daverend1175]

Lovely music. I haven’t heard such great music in months. (Could I get the violin sheet music for this?)

[@f_r_e_d]

A distant gallop amongst the fog ...Could it be? Exhausted and clinging on his steed He collapses on those familiar grounds The clouds make a break to illuminate her face once more Her emerald eyes look deep into his soul A soft grin emerges before he slips away forever

[@CatsPajamas23]

bleh.

[@saramazd]

As if Monteverdi’s Lamento Della Ninfa and Bieber’s Mystery Sonata have met on the crossroads

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Peachy!

[@Celastrous]

Can someone tell me what the centre stage instrument is? It looks like some keyboard instrument, but I couldn't pick it out on its own in the mix.

[@bachfor2]

Organ

[@yuntongyang3393]

Listen carefully it sounds like wind.

[@keyshialee1585]

Whatever it is, I really hope Brandon makes a video about it. As a keyboardist I’m dying to learn more about this tiny organ.

[@bachfor2]

@@keyshialee1585 The entire concert this video is taken from also has a solo on the organ at 19:18. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYS3mIWin6qHaKc

[@bachfor2]

And Brandon turns pages...

[@johnnyfivethephilosopher1086]

Brandon, do you compose any original pieces?

[@dulceleyva3179]

[@吳樂華-k5m]

What's the musical instrument in the middle? It kinda looks like a keyboard instrument and sounds like a wind instrument.(I'm not even very sure if I distinguished its sound correctly.)

[@yonatanbeer3475]

Can you ever pick out when it's playing? It sounds like just the lute and the two violins. Either way, the description says it's an organ, so ig your intuition was on point.

[@chancedean5341]

From the description it is apparently an organ, although to be fair I’ve never seen an organ that looked like that. Looking for the other work of the performer might give you some more info.

[@bachfor2]

It’s an electronic organ. It reproduces the sound of other organs that have had every pipe and note recorded or sampled using a program called Hauptwerk. It’s also way easier to transport...

[@Sagan_Starborn]

Would this be considered a Passacaglia, do you think? Or a Chaconne?

[@brandonacker]

Passacaglia is usually the 4 note descending pattern which is what you hear here.

[@bayuwrahatnoko]

What is the name of the instrument that like a clavichord but sounds like organ?

[@helenpanshin5589]

It is an organ. Brandon lists the instruments in the video description :)

[@skripnigor]

This music says: everything is wrong, nothing will improve.

[@yonatanbeer3475]

The beginning sorta sounds like Chaconne in G minor

[@Davmm96]

Well, it's quite the normal intro for chaconnes/passacaglias. Just like 2-5-1'ing into a jazz song, here you start with a solo basso continuo then the band comes in. Another exemple: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKfZZZuQfpyZiaM

[@TheJustthedoctor12]

That's a pretty ridiculously long instrument there, my friend.

[@Opuskrokus]

That wasn't too mad.
