Jen's Song

From the movie "The Dark Crystal." Many thanks to Priscilla Hernandez for reintroducing me to this song.

Today his flute gives no comfort... Today his master lays dying...

[@jamesfry8983]

Yet the future of the crystal is in his hands laying for the land be dying till crystal and shard be one

[@JuanMendoza-qd5lm]

Yes dude! Such a good quote bro😂

[@Intrafacial86]

I love how in the movie as Jen's song ends the drone of the mystics fades in as a storm is brewing. Chills every time, man . . . *_every single time._*

[@ughgross1258]

I saw this when i was 7 and have been playing the ocarina since

[@DavidErickRamos]

Beautiful played Mr. Hind. I want this ocarina so much, lol.

[@Link_ye_Hyrule]

Have you learned Jens song yet ? Should do it !!! & try on a 12 hole as well !! After

[@brookbergsma5089]

Jens song brought him no comfort, for his Master lies dying

[@hindocarina]

Yes it comes with a free book that includes the fingering chart and exercises to teach you how to play by the method I used. It has about a dozen songs. The songs are written out with both melody and harmony. A number system is also included so you can learn the songs without reading music. I did this arrangement of Jen's song after I wrote the book, but I'll send it to you as a pdf file if you request it.

[@DatalyConduct]

I love your rendition because it's literally the same pitch as the original movie before remasters and tweaks. The pitch is much higher and it's sad. This pitch is perfect for this song

[@krzychol83]

"I feel like a scary werewolf astronaut landing to devour all the gelflings on the planet Netflix" And honestly. Great production and great playing. After so many years, I come back to this recording with serious nostalgia. Thank you 👍

[@Brandon_Lee83]

Today your flute gives me comfort as I do not lay dying but most certainly revived from the soul of your music. ❤️😁🤘

[@a.h2o183]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@garyshandling4790]

That was fucking amazing.

[@catspaw3092]

Just like Jen would play it this is awesome I want to learn to play this.

[@crovian7]

watched this 20 times still gives me chills

[@evacastro2314]

This is one of my favourite videos on KZbin.

[@hindocarina]

Sorry, I have not made a recording of the bass double Ocarina yet. The song book that comes with the double is written for the tenor.

[@MidnightGeekSS]

the songbook is it sheet music or tabs

[@PimentDouce]

I received this ocarina today and I'm so happy! I love your ocarina Charlie Hind! Greetings from France, Stéphanie.

[@1996osiyo]

wow beautiful.love those classic movies.i remember when i first watched this movie with my grandpa.good times good times

[@Pheonix-jw9if]

Absolutely beautiful and well done, as a fellow musician you have inspired me to pick up where I have left off. Play on….

[@Kenazzle]

Thank you for uploading this. Lovely.

[@razmir_]

anyone remember what a Sketsis is?

[@justawinkling]

herobrinehunter skeksis? They're terrifying vulture things 😂

[@razmir_]

500 year old, mutated vulture things XD

[@blujay1608]

1000 year old! :D

[@TimberNightSong]

I remember . . . Skeksis: "Agh! My hand!" Mystic: "Soooooooo . . . . my hand . . ." *Just keeps walking* Pleeease?! Please make PEACE?!!! "When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone, shall be whole - the two made one, By Gelfling hand or by none." Do you know what that means, Kira? P.S. Because of my love for The Dark Crystal and of course my sheer awesomeness, I am sometimes referred to as The Gwenling. Now, where's my crystal shard?! Who has it? Gimme!

[@andreap9869]

Loved the music in that film.

[@nerdofgod4167]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your ocarinas Mr.Hind.

[@ShadesApeDJansu]

Christian Finnish Frostiis Once i bought ocarina because of Zelda - Ocarina pf Time N64 game, this is beautiful

[@lsdvine]

brings back memories.....i love the sound

[@matthewcarrellful]

BEAUTIFUL!! thank you for this video

[@ExiledPiasa]

always loved this movie.

[@nickmacvicar]

Very interesting fact: I watched the Dark Crystal for the umpteenth time last week and realised I knew this tune from somewhere else. Think, think, think, and then it dawned on me: Brassed Off (the movie) a tune in the soundtrack called A Sad Old Day. Totally identical, and the composer? Trevor Jones! Sly old fox. Can't blame him though, it's a brilliant melody.

[@digdoug1979]

Wow! Incredible

[@cinemalover21]

I can't stop listening to this!

[@crazyramus]

lovely

[@hindocarina]

All I know is that it's from the movie "The Dark Crystal." A search should tell you what you need to know. I do ship worldwide. There are many differences between this and the harmony sweet potatoes. They play the same range, but the chambers are tuned differently. On the page for each on my site, click the gold "Specifications" tab, and it will give you a lot more information than I can give here. The walnut double is easier to play, and I have more music that comes with it. Thanks.

[@sshepard5222]

Which specific ocarina is this of yours? When i can afford one I'd love to buy one of your beautiful creations but itd have to be this specific model, the sound is so beautiful.

[@ashamythest]

Simply beautiful...I got chills...

[@xaouqinz]

THIS IS AWESOME.!!!!!! i love the dark crystal, and i love this instrument. great playing!!! i want a double ocarina.

[@yidneth]

Dear Charlie, It's me Priscilla, thanks for your words, and well wow! I have practised but you put me to shame!!! hahahah I'll try to do my best on the faeriecon, changed two notes, but now with your video next time I'll do it jsut as you play, :) yay but I was close!!, thanks for your lovely ocarina. Jen's song will be performed in front of the designers of the movie (Brian and Wendy Froud) in Philadelphia's faeriecon, I'll make sure everybody takes pic of me with your awesome ocarina...

[@KungFuJunky]

This is beautiful! For a bit of fun, try opening this video in a second window and play both vids at the same time, starting one slightly before the other...even more mesmerising!

[@BumbiPuck]

Too good to be true! Thanks for all your time and answers, I will buy a double ocarina from you as soon as possible.

[@DavidErickRamos]

I meant "beautifully" :P

[@andreaperezx94]

This is my favorite song from this movie, the Dark Crystal. I really enjoy this video. (:

[@Fulkren]

i like this one best, great sound and very soulful.

[@christilovesfood1478]

Wow!!! Made my night; so beautiful!!!

[@Holtza]

Very, very beautiful. I can see that ocaina is temporarily out, but I'll keep my eyes open and see if I can get one in the future.

[@radrickdavis]

Perfecto! You have a real driving flow to your playing I enjoy.

[@Zzarra222]

I was happy to find the inner light on you tube because it was so beautiful. You can type in picards song or inner light on you tube and get a response. this is a most amazing song I think you might like to add to your already long list of songs...please check it out and see....thank you for your reply!

[@Funckle73]

Love you for playing this for us!!

[@yidneth]

Charlie, it was my honor to get your double ocarina, and thanks for the mention too! I've treasured our ocarina and this tune brings me comfort. Soon I'll share new videos of my own compositions too... your double ocarina is a challenge, but a good one... and better than other "brain trainers" hahaha :). Next stop... the gelfling song :)? :)

[@a.s.118]

Beautiful sound. Are you selling these anymore? I can’t access them from your website.

[@AtlantisChildren]

Wow......I want to get one of those just to play this song now.....

[@HorusLupercal90]

Iv never played a musical instrument. People who do amaze me. Id love to play this.

[@apaloosa01]

Yes! Got mine today! That's the first tune I'm trying. Fact is, it's harder than it looks (it didn't look simple either...) but still so cool!

[@anifuchsi]

What a beautiful song :) This one goes straight into my favourites. :)

[@Ainurah]

So...beautiful...DX It lifts my heart!

[@belle_angel_6690]

What is this ocarina called?? I would like to order one.

[@HiSBaByDoLL24]

@@nala3055 I believe its a form of Mountain Ocarina

fantastic!

Wow, that's so beautiful. I'm practicing this on my ocarina but I think it will be a while before I'm as good as you! Thank you for posting this.

ty so much for this

[@KiraJenLove]

I love that song! Jen played it at the beginning of the movie (when he was nekkid). Yours was better than the other girl's video.

[@DREWSKY1986]

Love it

[@hindocarina]

hindocarina.com/ocarinas/index.php?l=product_detail&p=84 Thanks!

[@RhysGFrelsa-Eudyptula]

Charlie Hind -.- I will never be able to afford one.... but thank you for showing where we can find it. I keep hoping to find one like this or more like the character Jen's flute. But every one I have seen so far is like the one you played and is more than I could ever afford.

[@DREWSKY1986]

I love it

[@pablofallenjedi]

this is beautiful!!!

[@outrspacegoddess17]

Your flute playing has inspired me! Please keep making flute music videos! What kind of flute is that? Did you make it?

[@CthulhuRogers]

+Lillie Greenwood It's an inline style double Ocarina. This particular variant is typically known as a "Harmony" Ocarina, which is basically 2 Ocarinas in different keys built into one with the intention of them being played together in harmony. Also, yes, he does make them himself.

[@joshiglesiaslzeg]

Where can I find the sheet music for this beautiful song? Cause I love this movie so

[@jonescalypso]

Too bad the double ocarina doesn't look like those V flutes you see in the movies, they look so cool. and it LOOKS like it would make the same sound. But from what i hear, they are all props and can only make whistling noises :( Lovely work though, thank you for playing for us :D

[@Turbo852]

Wow, that's a very nice sounding song!

[@killianringler3054]

How do I get this versions tab?

[@hindocarina]

Happy New Year Priscilla! I guess this means you've been practicing? :o) Hope all is well, and I look forward to all your videos.

[@emiliemartin2357]

Can this be played on the recorder? Do you have sheet music for this

[@TheRealDOSmile]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your music Mr. Hind? I have been looking for any sheet music from the Dark Crystal without success. It was one of my favorite movies and this, one of my favorites tunes. Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

[@mohammedessa29]

very talented

[@AlexanderThePilgrim]

What’s that kind of ocarina called? With the two tones simultaneously

[@PinLatin]

Double ocarina

[@xlovelypunkx]

Hello Charlie! I'm interested in hearing what the Double Bass Ocarina in C sounds like. Do you have a sound sample anywhere? I'm trying to decide which one I want to buy, the Double Bass Ocarina in C or the Double Tenor Ocarina in F.

[@devilstar13]

Beautifully played! I want one T_T

[@awells88]

He made this instrument and many others. google "hind ocarina" to find his site.

[@Ijnebman]

the one person who disliked this is ridiculous

[@AngryNerdBird]

His website is easy to navigate if you really are interested. Just look for hindocarinas(Dot)com. =) Also, these are ocarinas, not flutes. A flute is just one instrument of the woodwind family.

[@kevmr1]

Mr hind how do u play one half at a time? I mean wouldnt you be playing notes on one side, then just blowing into a noteless other side? So wouldnt you always hear both?

[@subakuryu]

I got my double yesterday mr hind! I love it quite much! A challenge as I expected, but all the much worth it. I hope to upload an amateur vid of me playing it today! :)

[@Oreochema]

Reminiscent of a Studio Ghibli film. Kinda reminded me of Princess Monoke for some reason. Or Castle in the Sky....

[@RodCornholio]

Cool. Got any of the recorder bits to _Stairway to Heaven_ in a video?

[@MBento105]

Bravissimo!

[@treeoftears]

You made this Ocarina? It looks stunning and sounds just beautiful. It is so heart warming to see that there exists people with such incredible artistic craftsmanship. You inspire me to learn how to play.

[@parsival8354]

Are you still selling this? It seems I cannot buy these from your website

[@hindocarina]

This is the double ocarina. Thanks for your comment.

[@chelseaferguson9181]

Charlie Hind in F or in C?

[@chelseaferguson9181]

Never mind, figured it out

[@ansheebanshee7440]

Wow! How is this Okarina tuned? The two chambers are in different keys, aren't they?

[@surreallane9730]

Do you still have the notes? And how many holes are in this ocarina?

[@killyjoy000]

Does this video feature your double tenor ocarina?

[@BumbiPuck]

This song is really beautiful, what's the name of the artist for this song? is the name of the song (Jen's song)? And by the way: Do you take orders to Sweden? whats the differences between this one and (Harmony Sweet Potato #194 in Padauk, Cherry, and Maple)? Have a nice day

[@AlwaysHarmonyy]

Its reccomended to me right now, why.... but amazing though

[@crazyfistx2502]

Jen was the first ocarina hero before link lol

[@Lionstar123]

Okay, so I went to your website and looked at your Ocarinas. They are truly beautiful. I'm curious though as to which one this is? I'm wondering if it is the alto or the tenor? They look pretty similar, but I noticed there is a difference in the number of holes.

[@BumbiPuck]

Worldwide, that's really good. Is it possible to make a movie when you for example play Jen's song on the Harmony Sweet Potato #194 to put on your site or here on KZbin? Would be alot easier to compare and decide. Thank you for your time.

[@mazingerj]

Hi, Is this the Double Bass Ocarina in C or is this Tenor Ocarina in F?

[@yidneth]

my response will be soon up :) but wanted to sto to wish you a happy new year charlie! sending brightest blessings!
