How to Conduct an Orchestra

[@jacko8030]

That’s definitely the accent I expect from a conductor

[@notatrombonist6833]

nice one

[@bloubear2557]

HAHAHAHA

[@dangooseboost6101]

That's cause of your good taste on tv shows ;)

[@YaYa-lj8ln]

I love how passionate he is. I hope I find a job like that someday.

[@jilliandelrosario2847]

i was lowkey expecting someone less famous for a guest... but GBS, HOW DID YOU ACQUIRE GUSTAVO DUDAMEL???

[@kevinsteel7875]

They asked and he agreed

[@raycox4139]

Keep in mind, he is a product of El Sistema, a Colombian music program for street kids.

[@thepiemaster0933]

The Great Big Story: as a musician myself (violin) bringing in Dudamal was a FANTASTIC thing to do and I really like how you brought him in. He is one of the greatest

[@plastique45]

He's literally the worst conductor in the world.

[@walnut5203]

If you can conduct slowly, you can conduct quickly

[@stephenhu2000]

@@stoneminer4464 given that most of this video is dudamel and history, i'd say it's legit musically

[@alexmcmunn9390]

No

[@fredshoestrings4888]

Yes, was thinking this all the way through

[@sageobrien6776]

As a conducting/composition student, I can say that this video is good, especially what with your conversation with gustavo dudamel, but you would need a whole video series to really go over conducting. The possibility's for conducting are infinite. (Great Big Story still did a good job though, so I'm not hating or anything.)

[@MasonYTAoS]

Who here is from an orchestra? No? Ok...

[@timfrost2089]

I gotchu brother. Cello is my way 👌

[@MasonYTAoS]

I play the violin myself

[@ikhk5309]

Tim Frost yes my dude first chair cellos unite

[@Alex_Whatareyoudoing]

Well not orchestra but cathedral choir, we work with orchestras tho 😁 I feel every conductor has a totally different style and it’s like a horse you need to learn how they work

[@samykenz]

Play violin

[@TheWizard45134]

RIP For those people who never had orchestra in their school.

Why are you on KZbin WHEN YOU COULD BE PRACTICING LIKE LING LING?!? Jk me too 😂

[@abramporras7877]

The conductor is a beast he knows everybodys parts and lets you know when to get it in

[@benhaushalter5067]

Conducting so many instruments by yourself can be scary at first. I remember feeling like I was going to pass out, but now I love it.

[@Virky404]

i started waving my stick around and my furniture started floating.

[@hakeem108]

Broooo they actually got Gustavo Dudamel to do this interview wtf

[@diorynovis]

Add one more stick then you have chopsticks.

[@Choungie]

You picked the best conductor, I love you for that

[@bogdanchatsky6324]

I really love the quality and montage of most of your video. You are truly outstanding channel on youtube, giving the knowledge in interesting manner, with style and individualistic approach. Thank you so much for your work!

[@shhtha]

Gustavo seems like such a kind person

[@Tax_Collector01]

Any (ex-)orchestra/band kids here? I played first violin, third row, outside chair.

[@Andrew...00]

viola, 5th desk, outside chair

[@raychan3122]

cello, 1st chair ;-)

[@carolynbangun5879]

Here is some things my orchestra teacher does; First, he pats his chest very quietly so we know the tempo He will (sometimes) lean a bit on his left for conducting He is a (sorta) shy teacher. So when making an announcement he doesn’t put the mic to loud He gives us a cell phone/food party even tho food is not aloud in orchestra

[@mike_chr_]

Got a Great Big Story ad. Nice.

[@raycox4139]

So, years ago I went to a conducting workshop (old band director here) and they told a story. To recognize music educators, the Chicago (maybe; large, major orchestra) invited high school band and orchestra conductors to lead the symphony. The program didn't last long because symphony musicians complained too much. It seems they liked the school conductors too much...

[@HichigoShirosaki1]

Coordinating how loud certain groups of instruments sound, how fast they are, reining in one's that go out of sync, etc. It requires sone really good hearing and understanding how it needs to sound at any given point.

[@Yj-zf5rd]

I just got a great big story ad while watching a great big story video

[@me_is_hobo]

I’m case you’re curious, these are the composers that appeared in this 0:24: Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Schubert, Mahler, STRAVINSKY

me: *accidentally stubs toe* also me: *FUCKING DIES OF GANGRENE BECAUSE MEDICINE WAS SHITE*

[@richardwilliams473]

I believe the conductor is the luckiest man in the world: To be that close and personal with all those professional musicians in front of him !!!

[@sannekolind5523]

Sometimes it just looks like the conductor is having a seizure

[@A3Kr0n]

It takes a very special person to stand in front of a bunch of people and wave a stick for a living.

[@wahaha858]

So they have a GBS ad in the beginning, the video itself as an ad, and an ad at the end. Ultimate gamer move.

[@ivannovotny4552]

Educational and informative, I learned something today and thank you for it.

[@SilkyC]

I could watch a conductor wield his/her baton all day long. ALSO ya'll got Dudamel?!?!?! Amaaaaazing

[@Amonimus]

Very passionate and dramatic speech. And doesn't answer the question at all.

[@itsame_radey7240]

this is so inspirational

[@violaisreallycool]

Love this video! Nice to see an orchestra related video on Great Big Story.

[@me_is_hobo]

0:27 I love how this video DID mention Stravinsky

[@angjiapheng]

I someday would like to have a video about conductor by showing comparison and difference of orchestra playing same music with and without conductor, as well as how conductor affects the outcome of a piece of music that looks the same on paper

[@bigjoe33]

30th! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MORE THAN MOST KZbin INFO CHANNELS!

[@snaketown9352]

When Dudamel is in a video, I click on it and I watch it.

[@gawrrr7721]

I’ve played some of the pieces in the background. It gives me flashbacks from when the conductor was upset with the whole orchestra and flipped😣

[@JonatasAdoM]

Dudamel was at his prime when conducting the symphony of the new world to the pope

[@CryzVoid]

[@cyrus_p624]

"a new conductor has like 20 seconds to earn the whole orchestra's respect or they won't follow him at all and play on their own" (Or something like that) -Twoset violin

[@ethantamales]

classical musician here, im ready for the worst edit: this was fantastically done. for all the other videos on the internet that portay musicianship so trashily, this is easily the best ive seen. thank you

[@franzliszt9799]

What surprised me the most is that the fact that they got Dudamel for this video

[@violenthipshaking]

In the Netherlands, we have a TV programme called Maestro, in which celebrities try to conduct an orchestra. In the first episodes, things turn out pretty bad.

[@aisakataiga4880]

Conductors are secretly wizards from hogwartz

[@caseygates2175]

Great video! We just need to learn the difference between further and farther.

[@bsgrannydied]

Wow thank you, I am now a Conductor!

[@chellez29]

I figured that! You have to work with your orchestra to get the sounds and the mood together! I would love to do this one day🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Could we switch from Beethoven’s fifth every now and then? It’s a good piece of music but there’s so much other music out there. Albinoni, Bach, Brahms, Britten, Bruch, Bruckner, Dvořák, Elgar, Glazunov, Haas, Händel, Haydn, Kabalevsky, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Myaskovsky, Mussorgsky, Pärt, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Taneyev, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, and Ysaÿe. See? There’s more, but I’m tired.
