Gassenhauer (Street song - Badlands) - Schulwerk Carl Orff - Gad's Hill School Ensemble

[@jorasparents]

If any of the students who played this ever check back here, please know your performance is still bringing joy and entertainment to people all around the world. :)

[@nathancegorach9738]

same here

[@garyangelovich7105]

Yes I agree very much.

[@piccalillipit9211]

NA they are all hedge fund managers now

[@renegarcia1330]

Yes i do, from México...

[@CL-08]

I really want to edit this video and add a thunderous applause at the end. These kids deserve it.

[@nuttysquirrel8574]

ABSOLUTELY agree - a few measly parents/teachers (seemingly) begrudged applause just doesn't give these youngsters the kudos they deserve for that performance. BRAVO!!!

[@johnburns1828]

@@nuttysquirrel8574 Couldn't agree more.

[@averylittle7350]

I would like to edit it and add great big smiles on all those faces. Wonderful.

[@OTM-101]

Indeed

[@SpuddersSpud-ps6dd]

Wow. Wonderful performance. Seamless how each additional group of students added to the harmonious sound.

[@garmonbozia76]

This is my favorite piece of music, and this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@dignity4752]

Superb, there's one music teacher who has done one hell of a job.

[@Stiffkittens01]

best version of this I have heard Just a shame there weren't more people ghere to appreciate it & your work

[@elizab2413]

Stiffkittens this was recorded at the rehearsal where only a few teachers were present, but got much more applause at their concert.

[@OTM-101]

3 years later I'm still watching this video and enjoying immensely. Thank you again to all involved for sharing this awesome video.

[@SpringsMTBsac]

Superb. I can't help but wonder, just what these young people are doing now.

[@Wilhelma_Surak]

Same question I had… 10 years ago… Growen up now…

[@GreenGrasshoppa]

I noticed I found myself smiling with the music and the more intense the piece got the bigger the smile.....thank you all :D

[@louiehogaroo7409]

True!

[@paulmcgrouin9157]

GreenGrasshoppa as I was watching, I was reading your post, entirely true, huge 😃

[@michaelcave3031]

I just cannot get enough of listening and watching this video. I play it so often, I think I have an addiction. Well done Gad,s Hill school

[@onlylexus]

You bring tears to my eyes with your melancholy and heart stirring rendition of this sound. I have been listening to this piece all my life and I can't say what it means to me. Carl Orf was a genius and so are you all. God bless you all for making my day and God bless my son Elliott too.

[@louiehogaroo7409]

+DSoTM lol

[@timcarey6974]

Spoke to my soul, well done to the kids here, amazing talent!

[@charlieturpin5557]

again never get tired of these young people doing such a great job , it is highlighted on a tv advertisement here in new zealand and thats how i found these talented kids, please give us a cd guys your great

[@OTM-101]

I play this very often it is an absolute legendary rendition of this piece I salute all involved teacher student's all of you! I hope that all of you look back on this as a remarkable & brilliant achievement

[@OTM-101]

I watch this every few days and am in awe of the music the choreography the person who put this together and the members of the orchestra that made this possible. Well done all of you. Where are you all now?

[@rahulpuri5172]

SAME

[@kevinhabershon5736]

yep me too

[@BlueStarCadet08]

I know, huh? So charming.

[@manmountain108]

Still the best version I have ever heard. You guy's and laydeez are very fabulous.

[@charlieturpin5557]

i will never stop watching these kids do such a great job so talented wish they had a cd out i would buy it, so guys and gals again a big thumbs up and dont stop playing you make people smile with your playing and thats what it is all about. thank you

[@detroitbob58]

I feel sorry for the six people who are either deaf or just haters that had to give a thumbs down for this great piece of work by these kids. I'm sure they worked very hard to practice this and pull it off. Even the timing of walking into the camera range was very good. And the boys and girls in their army uniforms shows what pride they have in their school and themselves! You all did Mr. Orff proud!

[@noramorangahan6817]

I just love This music I could play it everyday thank you for the joy it brings me 🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤

[@sokjes]

these kids can be proud of themselves!!!

[@davidlrattigan]

That was fantastic; brought a huge smile to my face. Pleased to see Schulwerk being practised/performed in British schools.

[@cometzzmp4]

I clapped so hard in school today watching this👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@agentfungus9742]

Beautiful! A local classical music radio station host used this as an opening theme for his morning show decades ago. This piece was such part of my life to get the juices flowing after dragging myself out of bed, especially on cold and dark winter mornings. Thank you for posting!

[@abegrimes9970]

As a biased fan of the 50's version that made it's way into the film Badlands, which was my introduction to this evocative piece, I bypassed this post. Then, something made me go back and open it. I'm so glad I did. Well done Gad's Hill. Splendid interpretation.

[@Tillerman56]

Well done, VERY well done! For some reason I don't understand myself, this piece of music always brings a lump to my throat.....

[@NormaJean-TheOriginal]

Han de Ridder the same with me 🤗🤗🤗

[@udokrause832]

Die Kids sind echt gut!:-))))

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Han de Ridder - It's pure joy, that's why. Carl Orff captured the pure joy of children at play, running free.

[@december2364]

That was bloody brilliant. Worthy of the Albert Hall.

[@Paulmadog]

A superbly clever and moving rendition! I, on my own, applauded louder than the entire audience present.

[@kevinhabershon5736]

I have loved this song ever since i saw the film Badlands which is also brilliant,,,,,,,,,,,,one small gripe would be the tamborene player does not get in the picture

[@CurtaCrazy]

Beautiful! And such a nice set of instruments for this musical program. Pat 💖

[@JedF2010]

Excellent. It's very nice to watch it actually being played...and so well :D

[@Tommyfazz]

Loud, vibrant and joyous! A sheer roof-top jumping delight.

[@Regnar665]

I absolutely love this performance, wish I could have been there to applaud it.

[@fredo1070]

This is still the best version on KZbin.

[@harryschaefer5887]

I discoverd Gassenhauer by seeing the movie "Badlands" where it was used to great affect.

[@stephendavis6894]

Me too. Took ages to find what it was though.

[@peterbuller3572]

Harry Schaefer movie soundtracks have brought me much good music

[@petermoore6754]

Well done guys and gals! Brilliant rendition!

[@KPByrne]

A lovely piece of music, well done to all the musicians. Yes the applause should have been greater, but I really appreciated it nonetheless. Wonderful to see a bunch of teenagers cooperate so well to produce such a beautiful sound. Thank you. Kevin, Dublin.

[@bombergal1]

It's a shame there is so few in the audience this is a great performance!

[@BanquetNZ]

we are in the audience now

[@revrichardclark7480]

It looks like a final rehearsal not a concert; but so well presented and performed!

[@kalebind]

WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN ATTENDING

[@1Caratacus]

These young people will be discovering what wise men have known for years - that music teaches us more than anything else. People who have been taught music find other subjects easier to study, they are calmer, more logical in their approach and become more rounded human beings. (And I speak as someone who can't read a note!).

[@NormaJean-TheOriginal]

1Caratacus I totally agree with you 🤗🤗🤗

[@manmountain108]

Best version I ever heard.

[@revrichardclark7480]

I have watched different versions of this piece and this one is simply the best. Well done everyone, you made a great piece even better

[@jackiecorke9591]

I agree. The best of the rest! It sounds heavenly to me 🙏🏻

[@josh40jason]

Excellent performance, very well done. Would love to see The Royal Marines doing this..............

[@theorginalme]

Finding Forrester had me searching out this music. Love all renditions I have listened to but this is truly one of the best. Thank you for this.

[@verrills]

I want these kids to play for me all the time! Love this piece, love mallet instruments... nothing better.

[@OTM-101]

Brilliant didn't expect this you have really really done this superb justice

[@DaveTAM]

Excellent job well done.

[@allysonwu6768]

We are playing this at school! I'm bass xylophone. This piece is really cool! (I'm in Grade 5)

[@olising8843]

Are you american? This video was posted 5 years ago and all these people have left, but I go to this school and I'm in grade 9, (I think, in the UK we don't say grade we say year so I'm in year 9 but idk if they are the same thing) :)

[@ww_wolf]

wow same

[@danieloleary8158]

are you in 7th grade now

[@OTM-101]

John Stone you smashed this out of the park well well done!

[@steveroyle6002]

Totally brilliant, brought tear to my eye. Marvelous could not stop watching .

[@tyme4mike]

How this conjures up the sad reality of the lost innocence of youth, mine, yours, all children who are mistreated and were abused, and especially for my dear, dear friend Mary, who has found her way back into my life. I have protected her from afar as best as I could and now I'm ready to dedicate every living fibre I have left in this disease-ridden body to stopping anyone from ever hurting her again. Only she and my son Shane, and very, very, very few others have this promise from me, and I take solace in the fact they can count on it.

[@kidaries19]

This is absolutely beautiful....thank you

[@bulruq]

I can't stop coming back to this wonderful performance!

[@nuttysquirrel8574]

As a former Royal Marines Bandsman I was never stationed at Chatham but would think that any RMB performance in that church would have been wonderful. What I can say with certainty is how we would have appreciated the work that would have been involved to produce this performance and what a performance it is. Just superb, well done all involved; a standing ovation from me and huge, mega-thunderous, applause from all RM Bandsmen!! BRAVO!!!

[@Drumulater1]

Hey I'm just gonna say you performed excellent, and we all enjoyed all of this song. Remember that the Audience is now out there in Cyber land

[@PalmettoGolfer67]

I don't comment on many videos but I had to on this one, it was amazing! Great music, Great presentation! BRAVO!

[@6F6G]

Amazing. Deserved a much bigger round of applause.

[@derekd9650]

agreed, how are there only like 5 people witnessing that. I got chills. I was anxiously awaiting the roar of a stadium crowd. that was amazing

[@iloveNathalie1]

The clapping spoils it. It needs silence to allow the beautiful sounds to slowly fade away.

[@ktkee7161]

I thought that was part of the charm.

[@Droepram]

There were probably only 10 people watching and some people are too shy to clap.

[@revrichardclark7480]

Judging by the dress and the light it was a rehearsal in the middle of the day not a performance. The way it was choreographed was excellent and the kids were wonderful.

[@Dimwitland]

Very nice presentation and concept for a school group, and of course what an appropriate piece for an educational performance! This US fan is so glad you put it up on the net and will pass it along to our local schools. Formidable!

[@janehoworth7092]

Best performance of this piece bar none. Brilliant.

[@charlieturpin5557]

guys and girls you are so amazing cant stop watching your perform this have told everyone to go online to watch your amazing perfornace and think over 30,000 people around the world love your performance you will be a big hit as soon as some one in the media recognizes your talent wish i had a cd of yours , keep going as you will be a hit soon

I wish my school did something like this

[@noramorangahan6817]

I just so love 💛💙this music 👏👏👏

[@tankgirl7239]

One of the most beautiful things that I have ever discovered online. Loved the soundtracks for Badlands and True Romance. Orff is good fodder.

[@louiehogaroo7409]

Please realise John Stone, Director of Music at Gads has arranged all of this as he does every time! Great performance though. Well done kids!

[@spastikman]

I'm so glad I found this. This song is a bit of an obsession for me and your performance was amazing!

[@sheilaoshea8233]

love this well done

[@michellepapenfus6718]

The practice it must have taken to get the parts correct. I love this song. I first heard it in Finding Forrester.

[@sparkymarky7470]

This is a lovely piece of music played superbly, I love it

[@averylittle7350]

I'm back, two years later, still looking for a smile, please.

[@Ronald7077]

[@rahulpuri5172]

At GHS

[@barrycracknell2944]

Just beautiful. I'm sitting here writing the Eulogy for my mum's funeral in 4 days time. This once again brought me to tears. Thank you - marvellously talented children (young adults now probably), and proud in their uniforms too. Superb.

[@Jacam781]

These are the best soldiers the world has ever seen! May you bring down nations!! Salut!!!!

[@charlieturpin5557]

[@Tony-rq4pk]

I've loved this piece of music all my life without knowing what it was. Shazammed it last week and found this. I've watched it again and again, it's absolutely brilliant. I am impressed by you all. Well done and Thank You for posting it.

[@hantonp60]

[@ramongawlitta9858]

Magnificent job by these talented young people.

[@rogergrace2343]

One word, Fantastic.

[@bfjk1]

I presume that there weren't more people in the audience applauding at the end because the beauty and power of this performance had blown them away. I'm glad they got the response they deserve.

[@elizab2413]

It's because this was only a rehearsal. It got much more applause at the actual concert.

[@bfjk1]

a great and believable explanation, making my wonder why I hadn't thought of it. Thanks much.

[@charlieturpin5557]

i can not understand you dont get more hits than 45,276 you are brillant and wish you had more than 3 people in the audience to appreciate the great job you all done hope someone fron the team relpies to me love to talk about your redition

[@Tommyfazz]

charlie turpin t'was a rehearsal

[@nascar0509]

You can purchase it on Amazon & it is the first track on the CD album Orff Schulwerk volume 1

[@tjdoc143]

Beautiful, gives me chills.

[@edaustin2682]

I love this....the way the kids keep "floating" in to play their parts! If you watch closely, you can see what musical addition each child makes to the overall performance! Great job, kiddos!

[@alangraham974]

10 /10 Brilliant you should all be proud of yourselves

[@annehargreaves7785]

I used to have this on an LP (front with pics of dancing people) but alas it has been lost to time (and new technology). It was what I woke up to each day and no matter what the weather or mood it lifted me. I would also like to find this exact arrangement. Anyone?

[@johnturner4300]

wow that's really good music and good staging as well.
