Leroy Anderson - Fiddle-Faddle

[@Gina-no5hm]

love how this audience can actually clap on the beat

[@bellasaward8330]

Most people can do that. Not really hard!

[@mastermoo3506]

@@bellasaward8330 you would be surprised

[@queenrekker3674]

LMFAO

[@CliveNDerek]

It's far more hip to clap on 2 and 4, not 1 and 3!

[@evanhammerman616]

People today forget just how incredible LeRoy Anderson's music is.

[@miguelangelgrimm9860]

People in our day don't know that there was a time when people believed in life and culture was alive.

[@pamtebelman2321]

I'm just getting into his music and I'm 65. It's funny because I'm remembering many of these melodies from my childhood, and they're coming back to me now. His music is truly remarkable and memorable.

[@twinicebear775]

I mean not really, literally every musician in any orchestra has played at least Fiddle Faddle and Sleigh Ride lmao

[@CliveNDerek]

I love it when bandmembers and orchestra members break into song: they're always in tune, even if they're no "singers."

[@alanhill769]

At 76 I discovered Leroy Anderson years ago. One of the many musical highlights of my life

[@louswire]

A piece of music played very well, brings as much joy to the player as it does to the listener. It is wonderful to share the joy of music. well done, all of you.

[@philnewton3096]

Are the positive replies mounting as fast as the Rico het bowing?

[@duckiwi]

Anderson's music remains a wonderful way to entertain an audience. He was a genius.

[@bob422859]

i love the middle where the men get up and sing it sounds positively divine and mr anderson would approve, i am sure. bob whitaker

[@RayPointerChannel]

I disagree. The vocals and clapping are a distraction and overpower the music. Too intrusive.

[@5610winston]

@@RayPointerChannel Wasn't that scored? Audience participation is expected in high-energy novelty pieces of this kind, and are the ultimate audience appreciation. And remember the Woody Allen film when the child-version of his character related having played 'cello in the marching band?

[@dennismatorini5984]

A few years ago, I attended a high school performance of Fiddle Faddle performed in San Antonio, TX, by the Plano West Orchestra at the TMEA String Honor Orchestra concert. The performance was incredible, and the reaction from the audience comprised mostly of Texas orchestra teachers was enthusiastic just as with the Novosibirsk orchestra. L. Anderson's music is always well-received and is always a show stopper.

[@johnshaw2036]

This former high school violinist wishes he could ever have played even half this well!

[@coraggio93]

LOL! Memories of junior high orchestra class...1

[@nldstone]

Terriffic job!!!!! Love the conductor's energy! Nice job violins, it's not easy and you were flawless!

I can't help but smile every time I hear this tune and this is a really fun version. Thanks for my smiles today.

[@tampanativeson]

Can't say how many times I've heard Fiddle-Faddle, but never like this. Too bad Arthur Fiedler never thought of it. LOVE IT

[@ikewasgen45]

First heard this on those Goodson-Todman shows in the 50's and 60's on CBS TV with the tag line this Johnny Olsen speaking.

[@hartzell7407]

Yes, you have a good memory. This was the theme on the original season (1952) of "I've Got a Secret," hosted by Garry Moore. Original panelists were: Bill Cullen, Henry Morgan, Faye Emerson and Jayne Meadows (Steve Allen's wife). The announcer/sidekick was Durward Kirby, not Johnny Olson . Olson didn't join Goodson-Todman until 1958, but had announced for other, earlier game shows (Break the Bank, Name That Tune).

[@JgirlForever101]

oh gosh... my orchestra (eighth grade) has to play this for concert...

[@Elenaviolin1]

Молодцы!!!

[@OrchestraAurora]

Wonderful!

[@johnferguson8993]

Fabulous music, love Leroy Anderson's music. I really would have preferred it without the clapping though, but good fun.

[@hamburglar8794]

I completely agree about the clapping. It was still great though.

[@robcat2075]

Fabulous! Rarely heard in the America.

[@Ice-hz3pi]

I forgot the name and thought fiddle faddle this is my favorite classic song

[@dsb0773]

Браво!!!!!

[@DDZZ55]

Has anyone ever heard the Bluegrass version of this composition (Fiddle Faddle)?It was complete with lyrics and vocals.The last line sang in the tune was, "They spent their honeymoon in Arthur Fiedler's....Fiddle Section"The recording was on an RCA 45 RPM record, from the very early 1950's.I'd love to hear that version and possibly have it on file.Thx,DDZZ55

[@juanperezmaturana3675]

It sounds excellent...

[@nealbfinn]

The 1rst violin part could be an audition piece for most symphony orchestras

[@avabergren5820]

nahhh its not that hard. its stupid fast so it takes practice, but the music itself isnt difficult for most musicians, especially college educated ones

[@twinicebear775]

it's not hard at all, we sight read it for a street performance at my youth orchestra. it's fast but only because it's alternating between open strings. if u take out the alternating notes it's just three blind mice lmao

[@5610winston]

2:39 Gotta love that false cadence.

Check out Danny Kaye and the NY Philharmonic. He did the same thing with them humming along. But a full orchestra with brass back in 1981.

Nyan cat sounds a little bit like it. Totally different instruments, obviously, and nyan is very repetitive, but I think there is a similarity.

This song is actually based on 'Three Blind Mice'

ありがとうございました！ 遠い国からのご挨拶！ ノボシビルスクは東京から遠くないですか？!

[@avabergren5820]

my conductor put his baton down and did a lil dance during this

[@jacobwojnar388]

This is a bit on the up-tempo side- enough that it's got serious overtones of Smetena's 'Dance of the Comedians'

[@nightswimmer99]

Jacob Wojnar It really does! Anderson was such a clever composer that he could adopt the feel of others' compositions without venturing so far as to commit plagiarism. Listening to his "Irish Suite", I hear what sounds like the influence of Max Steiner and Tchaikovsky at different points.

Is this a parody of Danny Kaye conducting the New York Philharmonic in 1981?

[@farhangmalekahmadi3941]

hey guys . can somebody help me to find the scores , not to buy :)

[@Jbeno5490]

@willbrown11 yeah my teacher iz making me play this

[@Nataliamusician]

@insightrev This is a joke, of course. Conducting is not easy. The picture here is a result of a HUGE job before the concert! The normal conductor usually conducts thinking about the rhytm. But many famous conductors are working with orchestra so "impactful", that on the concert the musicians are playing without "rhytm assistance". But conductor shows the musical things such as dynamic, emotional fillings, and phrasing, of course.

[@juanleonardomerlosrosales8294]

I don't like it at all. Very fast is not the best. And the worst thing is that they sang wow.
