CBYO Lord of the Dance Royal Albert Hall

Schools Prom Nov 2006 encore

[@JeanValejean]

Who is still listening in 2024 is LORD OF DANCE.

[@TheQuestioner139]

I am

[@MagsT_UBU_IBMeBee]

Beautiful. Telling the Lord’s story with musical instruments and without words. Trust me.... I was singing along with words and praise for our Lord, the LORD OF THE DANCE.

[@LisaMcCrissican]

Going back and listening to the past year's of CBYO playing gives me a great sense of pride to be a part of it now. A shame my time has to come to an end, but the time spent on stage, the buzz, the camaraderie, the sense of pride when you come off the stage after a concert... That will stay with me forever.

[@Flalookawooka]

+Lisa McCrissican I played with the NYOI back in the day, and actually with a few members of this orchestra that I recognized on stage in this video. They were easily the best days of my life and I'm awfully sorry I gave it up. It's hard to explain to somebody that has never experienced this just how good it is. The laughs on and off stage, and as you said, the sense of pride! I'm delighted to have the memories, I'll cherish them forever and never forget them!

[@Niray119]

Knowing no touch of any musical instrument, I am always overwhelmed and in awe of those that do. You should feel proud, of a job well done!

[@wingitprod]

Bravo!

[@lewiswinders4789]

Here in Tasmania, found this clip by accident, and I'm so glad I did. This is pure joy, and I thank the CBYO for it. Magnificent.

[@Krislights1]

Shockingly brilliant!🎶🤔

[@Flalookawooka]

What an excellent performance of a truly brilliant piece of music! I played with the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland back in the day, and actually with a few members of this orchestra that I recognized on stage in this video. They were easily the best days of my life and I'm awfully sorry I gave it up. It's hard to explain to somebody that has never experienced this just how good it is. The laughs on and off stage, the sense of pride as you come off stage, it's just incredible! I'm delighted to have the memories, I'll cherish them forever and never forget them!

[@carljones4179]

IRELAND!!!!

[@carljones4179]

have you played with any other Irish orchestras?

[@verenagallati8970]

That's extraordinary ...wonderful... Lord of the dance ...WOW...

[@Brumble10]

this is easily the best performance of this song on youtube... wonderful overall, super energetic, nicely in tune, kept together... bravo!!!

[@behlanarobinson3601]

We performed this last night after learning it at a music camp for 4 days. Having had to have learnt the first violin part at that speed in that short amount of time I understand how ridiculously hard it is. How they manage to play it like that without error will always gobsmack me!

[@carljones4179]

I played it after a camp too

[@evenflow5491]

I played this last year in china for a school orchestra. It is an awesome piece, and easily the most intense music I've ever played

[@supernathlego1391]

I'm a Horn player and i'm playing this with the orchestra

[@CarCar987]

we played this two yeas ago at my school but we can never compare to this because this performance is amazing! playing this song was really fun.

[@TheGreenQuad]

I played this 4 years ago for my school orchestra and im sitting here now after all this time playing along in the air to the cello part. One of the best songs to play even better than the Phantom of the Opera score and as quickly as we learned it, we all still remember it so well.

[@SuperNerd1988]

Every time I watch this video I am blown away by how well everyone stays together. The best example is the violins in the sections starting at 4:08 and 5:11. There are a couple dozen of them but they sound like one. Just to listen to it, it is hard to believe that the musicians are in their mid to late teens. Its a shame this video only has 22,000 views at the time of this comment. It is certainly more worth while than many of the videos that go viral.

[@theresaheywood9479]

Simply outstanding

[@koulie321]

this song is so good its stoping me from doing my homework

[@LoakTheBurning]

My school's orchestra is learning this right now for our Spring concert. I'm so excited! This piece is so beautiful. I just love Irish music!

[@davidjones2043]

2019 and I keep coming back for more 👏

[@Youcantstopthebeat62]

I'm jealous of the number of French Horns they have! I wish my youth orchestra had that many!! Actually, I wish I knew that many French Horn pleyers :P Actually my youth orchestra played this at a concert the other day, this truly is an amazing piece of music :)

[@awesomedude325494523]

This song is so beautiful, I miss playing it.

[@memee182]

I love this song and message

[@winstonung]

This song is still epic

[@Carol-sx6rg]

I see Michael flatley dancing on stage! 😁 sorry I so love that dance show! So different version than this but , both master pieces in their own way ❤️❤️❤️ mindblowing !!

[@sabrinahsuuu]

months after our orchestra played this piece, i still come back and listen to it over and over again. i had so much fun playing it (:

[@pvtperkins1455]

damn, why cant all youth orchestras perform with such intensity and awesomeness... insane!!!!!!

[@kamilee4123]

Years ago, when I hadn’t even been playing the violin a year yet, I participated in a mass performance of this consisting of members of every instrumental group at the community music school where I was taking lessons. I completely had no idea what I was doing but the piece was awesome. I’ve now been playing for nearly 8 years. I’ve advanced to the highest group in that music school and we have the potential to play this piece for our pops concert July 4th. I need redemption. We need to play this again.

[@jenfox-venti2065]

every time I listen to this (and watch) I am put in an mazingly good mood. fantastic performance.

[@browad891]

okay this is brilliant, how can you possibly dislike this ?

[@sarahhall2087]

I've just stumbled across this and I've probably listened to it at least 10 times so far - it's absolutely brilliant! I love the fast pace of the violins, makes you want to get up and dance. From the 6:25 mark I love the 'extra' backing bits they've put in adds something special to it.

[@seanwylie9]

I've seen this video at least 20 times and it still blows me away. Great job.

[@claireharte8191]

Excellent performance!!!!!!!!!!

[@HackerCharly]

My absolute favourite piece of orchestra music!

[@7252jmms]

Absolutely beautiful! Music that awakes the soul! Loooooved the drums!

[@haddonfieldschoolofmusic208]

Wow. This is an excellent orchestration and excellent performance at a ludicrous tempo. Awesome.

[@Breenndda]

I was an oboe player and I've played this before with the Youth Symphony I participated in and with the Orchestra at my school. It is, hands-down, one pf my favorite pieces. Beautifully played =D

[@mirandas6977]

This was amazing! I played this, not nearly as well as them, ut it gave me the chills every time i did. Just watching this almost made me cry :')

[@novabrine]

I was just wow-ed. Music is really amazing when it gives you goosebumps. It gave me goosebumps. WOAH.

[@anamariamacedo]

amazing!!! I really love it!!! a great music to my soul!

[@blumedersahara]

oh my god! still practicing for my orchestra performance! Its so fast! :)

[@huggleton]

Can you imagine Michael Flatley and the whole troupe performing along with this?!

[@Carol-sx6rg]

That would be awesome right! 😊

[@bobthejimmy]

If only we could play it this well... This was phenomenal

[@YerkesDodsonCurve]

this just makes me weep every single time I hear it. AMAZING.

[@AppleTStudios]

[@dorayakihong]

[@AdorableAdorna]

[@rme1214]

[@GMSFrankyCloud]

Just Perfect !

[@masqueliergaston204]

Le meilleure version!

[@Ehster7]

I play this Song and it's so hard. They are soooooo good. :)

[@TheMissSchan]

I have to play this on the flute when I've only been playing for two years... I can tell you all its FRICKING INTENSE.

[@amirdrumset]

amazing!!!!

[@saraoverandout]

I'd challenge anyone to not tap their feet to this one -- it's impossible! 😃🎶

[@addaleonne]

Yes, it's imposibile!!!!

[@BrittanyIrigoyen1]

great I love the percussion part :) and I play trumpet and holy crap trumpets were beast! :D

[@JeffBrown01]

Incredible.

[@polivinilofinder]

IT IS JUST AMAZING MY FRIEND. WOW.

[@stevenstory4809]

wow just wow.

[@Trxshgxy]

This thing is a nightmare to play. Trust me!

[@louisa1548]

Lewis Clarkson Nahh, I'm twelve and it's not that bad to play, we play this arrangement in our High School Orchestra in rural NSW

[@ericpatterson6031]

+Lewis Clarkson I'm sure you are correct, Lewis, which is all the more reason I'm impressed with this incredible rendition!!

[@lucklord7]

it honestly depends. if your are skilled and like simular peices you're ok. if in your 2nd year and you played slow stuff then got into your 3rd year and had to play this...nightmare sums it up

[@carljones4179]

+Lance Freeman Jr. either way, bass part is a breeze

[@carljones4179]

not on double bass XD

[@peteran1995]

Absolutly Amazing :D

[@TheTwin12321]

I play violin in a orchestra, and when we played this piece I couden't keep up with the music from 4:01 till 4:36. I had to act that I played it. This orchestra is realy good, they can all play the fast parts... (at least it looks like ;) )

[@onanee8488]

Beautiful! :)

[@lizzy688977]

im playin this song nd i have it memorized (but its alot shorter then is) nd im in the 8th grade nd i play viola!! =]

[@Crazy4Minne]

Well, now it's up to 48,521 views. Done well orchestrally, of course. ALWAYS good to remember, "I am the LORD of the Dance, said HE!" This piece is meant to share a very rich and strong knowledge of WHO GOD IS.

[@ceciledemarron7515]

wow it is so amazing woooow :D

[@gmoney1322]

Freaking out of this world!!!!

[@sameachng8610]

[@peacefather.]

5:54 YES BRASS!!!

[@yinpenglim2452]

Awesome!!!!!

[@emilyrose1922]

such a hard piece to play, but so beautiful

[@matthewcampbellmusic]

Never underestimate the Irish (and youth in particular) we have much more talent than credited for ;)

[@ruffian2952]

Forgive them, lad, for what they do not know nor suspect.

[@davidjones2043]

This must be so hard to learn as an orchestra. Great performance.

[@Pisila103]

wow that was amazing :)

[@yinpenglim2452]

this is great!

[@leahdavitt8284]

i legit just played this yesterday

[@Kelvryn]

Awesome

[@Kumahachi8]

WOW, they're good!

[@shareaza0000]

[@wischer85]

[@tizianodalia5335]

I can't stop to hear this song..Anyone have score and parts of this music beautiful version?

[@sullybond]

youth orchestra? i saw a room full of near pros doing a helluva of a job on a very hard piece of music. this was great

[@Khiash]

4:08 blew my mind. Holy crap.

[@dmac13]

5:19 RON WEASLEY

[@weeardguy]

I wouldn't be to surprised if studying this theme in such a large group is about as hard as learning the hard-shoe dance as a single person ;)
