FLorentiner March

[@vdluna]

Pete was an awesome actor. He played his role beyond compare. The right actor for the right movie.

[@darkslayer106]

Pete Poslethwaite clearly had some musical skill. Even though he was a mainstream actor, his conducting of 'Grimley' was very convincing. What a man!

[@stevored1989]

That would be because Pete took the time to learn how to conduct a band before he made this film.-

[@GordonHudson]

I am appearing in the stage version and the actor conducting is taking conducting lessons!

[@scottryan1989]

Greatest British film of all time

[@ericgeorge5483]

A simply astonishing piece of music from an equally amazing movie. Nothing moves me like great brass band music, and this puts a lump in my throat, it is just so good.

[@lauramerchant2130]

I love the contrast between the upbeat melody and the sombre mood of the scene. It just enhances an eerie sense of foreboding and is darkly ironic. Also Pete Posthelwaite's acting at the end of the scene is phenomenal. You can sense his character's pain but he is striving to go on.

[@Huwbacca]

I thought music mattered, does it bugger.

[@barnclebill6333]

that is well put

[@jameswroe2403]

Ever met a true old school colliery bandsman who worked down the pit and then did band practice.

[@pambella6239]

amazing piece of music I love this film never get tired of listening to and watching it.

[@memestoler9485]

[@northernmonkeyplaystgames3121]

Amazing film. And the ost is just as great , as Gary Oldman said in Leon. Realy gets the juices flowing .

[@richardjonsson1745]

This entire movie is growing on me. The mix of incredible music and the depiction of the harsh times is fantastic and sombre.

[@stephenhathaway269]

The music and acting in this lovely film will always make me well up

[@Glinkaism1]

WOWSER! This is the best version I've heard. Taken at a fast clip! Cheers!

[@gerardomoonshine4984]

What a wonderful actor. RIP Mr. Posthlewait.

[@mercomania]

Great film, great music and the Piece Hall just looks brilliant.

[@flashtheoriginal]

Look at Pete Postlethwaite's facial mannerisms between 3:45 -3:58, he is FEELING the music. Pride, happiness, trust; high emotion to the very point of tears. THATS acting

[@TheBandMan]

He knows his band sounds amazing and they do!

[@BalrajTakhar-u7u]

Fabulous film. Of towns betrayed and people cast on the scrap heap by both Labour & Conservatives. The 'clown'' speech monologue is one of the saddest and heart wrenching in British cinema.

[@hopsangel]

I saw the band last night in Wakefield - absolutely brilliant live.

[@sarahpotts1200]

Lucky you. I remember them all matching through Doncaster pre 84. I was just a kid and thought it so naff Mum dragged me along . If only I had known what it all would mean to me when it was gone. The music must have wormed its way into my heart too

[@sammy2840]

Conductor is excellent!

[@edmondscott7444]

Great film.

[@edmondscott7444]

Brassed Off.

[@artin80]

Fucik was a great composer, and this march is ever the real composition, 120 tempo is okee, and....... the last 32 measures for the piccolo-part. Heavently to play and listening. Examination piece I think

[@user-tn8bu5gm3b]

Love the bagpipes playing our national anthem!

[@rosewhite---]

I'll be glad when the Piece Hall opens again!

[@captant1234]

Absolutely mint your a very talent fella ❤

[@mercomania]

Brilliant backdrop at the Piece Hall in Halifax, not a bad march either.

[@EngPheniks]

I wish I had a chance to listen on the spot

[@Killyclogher]

I used to play trombone in a brass band. The section beginning at 1.48 was tricky to play, with double tonguing and use of alternative slide positions. At this tempo I doubt whether I could have managed it!

[@lesleyjacklin6164]

Fabulous and very sad, the music wonderful

[@Charlienmeg]

Florentina March rocks :-) Brilliant film - thanks for the clips (even though I can watch it anytime on DVD! - ha)

[@heterosectional]

PERFECTLY AWESOME!!!!

[@heterosectional]

+Roger Regor Fast is best for all marches! Take it from the Italians. They pitch upward, too, to get excitement.

[@xxxxxx-ix1sn]

[@hugehelmet]

Who cares if it has been speeded up, it's still a beautiful piece of music.

[@omegamale7880]

Use 0.75 speed.

[@billrobinson3590]

Who says/ sounds like correct time to me at ;east at the speed we played it in The RAN Band.

[@mrbigg151]

Nice! Haven't heard this since I played it in college.

[@stefan2494]

i play in a brass band in austria and we play this march too, but much slower!

[@sarahjones7399]

An excellent summing up of the whole debacle

This play is faster than the test-pattern music of The University of the Air.

[@wendysykes3186]

It's great up north

[@ericgeorge5483]

It sure is!!!

[@sarahjones7399]

It bloody is, that

[@TinkerInTheShop]

The film is called 'Brassed Off'

[@Ikonicre]

@ramonnie007 He grew up in a culture with a long, long tradition of ~110bpm marching music. If he lived some 40-50 years later he might've written it at that pace, unlike Blankenburg, Fučík didn't write marches at Stars and Stripes Forever speed. When the tempo is not as intended, a piece is adapted for use, it'd be wrong to assume that is the correct speed, as long as one realizes it's an adaptation. Analogous to the ever-increasing tempos used for Händel's 1st coronation anthem..

[@michaelrk83]

You might find that most of the pieces in the film have been speeded up from the original soundtrack recording.

[@jaw1024]

anyone who says it's going too fast, in films for some reason I don't know music is often sped up, no idea why but listen to the soundtrack and it'll be different

[@tubeyou8978]

0:37

[@Jimdixon1953]

1:34 It’s Eric! Later seen hiring out inflatable filth to Brian Potter!

[@user-ym7zz2ww3r]

The principal trombone in this band is my teacher 😊

[@howardbeaumont7895]

The tempo is spot on, also listen to Eric Coates conducting the Knightsbridge March, faster than you normally hear it.

[@myrletewinkel]

super, lekker tempo!

[@rimula01]

It`s a hreat movie from England.- Elvio from Argentina

[@sokki88]

Well,thats good to hear...Julius Fucick was a genious when he wrote Florentiner March :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[@michaelrk83]

You will find that the music has been sped up from the original soundtrack recording

[@HooHah49]

Written for 120, but played at 138. It's a quick march for cryin' out loud, not a horse race. When it comes to European marches, remember. Slow is good.

[@brigittejones2516]

❤❤❤

[@eleanormastin1901]

The principal cornet player is my teacher :)

[@thomaskissell5975]

The Soprano cornet player is mine :)

[@hugehelmet]

Nevertheless,a stunning piece of music.

[@SpeedyNeutrino43]

I initially thought you had made a mistake with the word "deportment" and I chose to ignore it but after a little thought it hit me...........it means the same as "comportment" which is what I thought you meant. Wonderful language, English isn't it?

[@lomaxx27]

this is the best speed for this march ...sitting haha , everything else on yt is too slow, mnozil brass has good version too for something different

[@divinegod102]

@sokki88 It's faster than most high school level versions.

[@euphfellowship]

amama is right...it IS a quote from the movie.

[@TomD888]

this debate about speed seems a bit strange to me.. this version even sounds a bit slow in my opinion!

[@SpeedyNeutrino43]

I think it's very likely that you aleady enjoy other compositions by Julius Fucik, one of them being "Entrance of the Gladiators." It's a pity that many people associate it with circus music and dismiss it.

[@jd-ev6cj]

This has a big section missing out of it, right in the middle, at approximately 3:28. Why?

[@rosewhite---]

for dramatic effect...

[@sokki88]

@picaticatara What kind of Oboe melody? Btw: I have played 5 different transcribitions of this music piece ;) so there are many different versions and impressions from band bot Brass and Winds all over the globe

[@SarekOfVulcan]

When I last played this, we took it a _lot_ slower. :-)

[@trapezemusic]

Good film and a very well played rendition of The Florentiner March, although most of it is played at too fast a tempo. If played any faster it could be classified as a circus "Screamer". A piece of trivia: Fucik subtitled this march "Grande Marcia Italiana" as it is my understanding he wrote this march to honor the people of Florence.

[@nickzkiller]

are you from Earl Hagi o.O

ah but she pays f it in orangejuice almost perfect in that me n ma mates studied it lol x

[@brasschick4214]

Colin Bauman - Brassed Off!

[@MrFrankManfred]

Das Tempo etwas zu schnell, aber ansonsten sehr saubere Marschmusik !!

[@basscymro]

The problem with this film is that anyone watching who does not know better will think that we travel to contests dressed in stage uniforms and carrying instruments without cases. Also, the "test pieces" are of the type that any good band would expect to sight-read.

[@Dantowey3266s]

This version isn't fast at all. I've played this many times and this is the normal speed I'd say. It's a march afterall! It's not meant to drag

[@lukem2592]

Dantowey3266s this is a concert March you don’t actually march to it

[@martinduggan9180]

It's a film. Mate It's about a struggling community being torn apart Just with some relief with the music

[@DrTrumpet2010]

I peter it played at about this speed, anything to slow isn't good in my opinion

[@Dhbrydon]

A wonderful piece of music and a great film, so the actors are not musicians? who really cares? the music is still fantastic.

[@lIlIIllIIIllI]

It's a brass band. Ever seen an oboe made of brass?

[@rosewhite---]

Piece Hall has just reopened after £21 million revamp...go look and go into the theatre,

[@pychac127]

a lot of something Fast !!!!

[@Ikonicre]

@ramonnie007 Just because it's the standard these days, doesn't mean it's right. Read up on marching music and you'll find out. 120bpm is the MODERN tempo. I'd refer you to the March (music) page on wikipedia, there undoubtedly is one. Fučík was a classical style composer. There's a recording from Tokyo's Kosei Wind Orchestra on youtube which nails the tempo. You don't play a 'deliberate' march at warp 9 (120bpm) when sitting down and it's much stronger when paced at 108-112 while marching.

[@Nepo35]

Is there an oboe? I didn't hear or see one

[@Brendan45600]

No i don't think so.

[@DrTrumpet2010]

@COLINBAUMANN Brassed Off

[@HooHah49]

It's not only too fast, it's WAY too fast. When whoever it was said "We're going to win this one" he wasn't talking about the Kentucky Derby.

[@Ikonicre]

A tad fast. While 120bpm is generally considered marching pace, not so for central european (german, austrian, czech) march music. Roughly 108-112 is preferable; 'twas Napoléon who decided to march his troops at 120bpm to outmaneuver his enemies (move faster) and the Americans later mimicked him but it's far from a universal truth. Since the 'Florentiner' is also for street performance, this is a little rushed (doesn't help the movements of the characters don't synch).

[@sokki88]

Its not to fast,its going in that speed.

[@Ikonicre]

Too fast, needs to be slower to shine this one. Bad editing too, it's clear Pete Postlethwaith doesn't synch with the music, which of course was brought in from elsewhere. Hinders the scene in my opinion, though I'm sure Pete's doing his best.

[@Kerlerot]

Wow, un poco zu schnell in my opinion ! Ce n'est pas du Rossini mais cela reste agréable à écouter...
