Leroy Anderson: Plink, Plank, Plunk

[@user-vl5vv7je1c]

高校の音楽会の見学？みたいなやつのアンコールで演奏して頂いたこの曲の名前が知りたくて、探し回ってやっと見つけた😭可愛い〜！って、みんな聞き入ってました✨

[@m.a6376]

音は控えめだけどすごい可愛い曲で好きだなぁ。

[@andilowe9526]

Genau so ist es!

[@mogi_2749]

Yes i was assigned this. Yes i cant stop listening to it. Does it remind me of 1950’s shopping ads? Maybe

[@laurab247]

So this is how it's supposed to sound... We played this for the first time today in our youth orchestra. Needless to say that we (okay it was just me) sucked...

[@laurab247]

Our conductor just send a link to this video in our WhatsApp chat group... Hey everyone... 😅

[@hannahpeng6190]

We played way slower, but it still sounds ok

[@javiersolisjr4927]

We played it as students in high school, the squeek sounds were especially loved.

[@joeybonin7691]

Best version anywhere.

[@titledgoose866]

This song destroys my fingers 😭 but it’s so fun and I keep playing through the pain

[@keitha.neubert3063]

Amazing job! You'll be on my Favorites playlist for a long time.

[@lucybirdie]

A BOP.! LOVE THIS!

[@RedArwBus]

this was also the theme to "I've got a secret " from 1952-1967

[@naomidunleavyoshea1925]

Bravo!!

This made me smile. :)

is this not the coolest song ever?

[@theepiccellist7818]

Did this yesterday at a concert, prefer the pizzicato polka but ig

[@scuunjieng]

sorry his work is not played as much as it was 30-40 years ago

[@igirisudoitsu2830]

It’s probable that the Stanley Parable’s “Informing Stanley” based upon this song

[@amarxse9977]

At our highschool we play the song continuously at the end until all the spectators leave the auditorium.

[@pamtebelman2321]

Cute!

[@mindismith4790]

Say goodbye to the tips of your fingers

[@prairiecenteryouthprograms3815]

Bravo!

[@lizb853]

Brought me to tears. I used to play the piano version of this,,but can't do it anymore now. A favourite piece of mine.

[@inazoomie]

Playing this for a concert next week . . . needless to say I am concerned about keeping that speed the entire time.

[@AceOfStars0]

I feel this so hard lmao. It's so hard to go so fast while also doing pizzicato

[@pamtebelman2321]

Anderson's version is even faster, but this one is more my liking. How did the concert go?

[@synchrobot]

Leroy Anderson wrote many popular 'light orchestra' novelty pieces just after WWII. They were amusing and uplifting, exactly the right type of music to cheer people up in the grey years just after the war. Many pieces included sound effects (such as 'The Typewriter'). He is probably best know for writing 'Sleigh Ride' which was released in 1949/1950. I'm sure we have all heard that a few hundred times! It never ceases to make me smile.

[@pamtebelman2321]

Agreed, that is a beautiful song, and he was an amazing composer!

[@Wideworld100]

I love The Typewriter.

[@jayhutchins9011]

Im not normally into orchestral music, but this is just so smooth and cheerful.

[@mydogskips2]

Then you need to listen to Leroy Anderson's Jazz Pizzicato and Jazz Legato. Pizzicato means to pluck the strings, and legato means to play smoothly in a very connected way. Leroy Anderson "Jazz Pizzicato" & "Jazz Legato" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4mskpl-qqqCh6M

[@johankaruyan5536]

Why hasnt twoset reacted to this ? Ive watched and played this song for many many many many years yet u haven't told twoset about this yet ?

[@adamdonahue2079]

TheIceCubes Tbh, it doesn’t seem that crazy.

[@a.krishna3924]

Does anyone else think this sounds like a soap commercial?

[@hannahpeng6190]

Lolol not really

[@burnt_salad2731]

A.Krishna this was played for commercials back then actually so if you’re really old you’d hear this in commercials lmao

[@tonyjoseph9180]

@@burnt_salad2731 I'm 66 and I remember this from commercials and cheesy educational films.

[@LinCalc]

[@vesperinx]

its so trueee

[@CanePollFishermon]

Oh my goodness that was great, loved it from beginning to end, its not often you hear a plunking like that AWESOME

[@oldenweery7510]

Right---but technically, it's "plucking." I used to hear a lot of Leroy Anderson on our local AM station when I was a kid, it's light and cheerful. BTW, when I first heard "Sleigh Ride in _St. Petersburg,"_ I thought, "How much snow do they get in Florida? I didn't know they got _any!"_ (I'd never heard of St. Petersburg, _Russia.)_ Stay safe.

[@littlewhale8086]

It also really hurts to play 😂

[@pamtebelman2321]

Anderson had a way with turning words into musical ideas. You should listen to "The Waltzing Cat" and "The Typewriter Song."

[@TransitNerd]

Ok so...the student orchestra at my school preformed this last night and I kept saying, “sure, I don’t know who wrote it, when it was written and I’ve only listened to it once, but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!”

[@scopex2749]

THIS takes some playing! superb rendition. This tune always reminds me of someone happily rushing along on a bicycle on a spring morning!

[@damonrobus-clarke533]

You’ll probably never read this- but what a lovely description!

[@pamtebelman2321]

[@AlfredHawthornBennyHill]

Just imagine a 1950s highway scene or 1950s people rushing around or shopping to this playing.

[@hannahmatopoeia._.]

Violin player - missed the opportunity to make the squeaking noise you get when you wipe your hand on the back of the instrument (it's featured in Leroy Anderson's 'Plink Plank Plunk')

[@marlowlikesfrogs]

Can't wait to play this for All City. Also does anyone know how to do that weird squeek think on the back of the instrument?

[@yuziyxe]

I’m going to play this with my orchestra in May. It’s a GREAT piece and I can’t wait! ☺️😉

[@nmgt1048]

Good, danceable onomatopeia. You can enjoyably love it.

[@emeralddolphin1625]

I don’t think you know what onomatopoeia means

[@kealiagracemusic]

Played this at a concert in February. It’s so fun, and so unique! It was by far my favorite piece in the program.

[@adhithirajesh9685]

@Alice Ling26 My teacher showed it to us :)

[@ravenlit]

"Plink, Plank, Plunk". Or, as it was originally titled, "I'll Give Every Violinist Calluses If It's The Last Thing I Do". Jokes aside, this is marvelous!

[@kevinbutler1126]

This piece by Leroy Anderson was used as the theme music for the Goodson/Toddman/CBS TV game show:"I've Got A Secret?"hosted by Gary Moore.

[@katebickerdike5492]

Fantastic!

[@johnferguson4089]

This is some of my most favourite music. Played brilliantly!

[@RayPointerChannel]

This young orchestra has effectively duplicated the Arthur Fiedler Boston Pops performance.

We're playing this in our orchestra but a lot slower

[@stringsoflove8293]

Thank you for the wonderful performance! We are inspired by you.

[@bankoushengfan]

1:20 the squeak is so creative

[@michaelwascom62]

This composition puts the "pizzazz" in "pizzacato"!

[@emilyfernandez7486]

Sounds like a piece for a Pixar short film or something

[@MrJoydeepp]

This song cheers me up when I am in a bad mood

[@michaelwascom62]

A lot of orchestral/classical (and light-classical) instrumental music has been used as background cover for TV and radio commercials. It tarnishes the quality of great instrumental music. The producers of the commercial advertisements generally can "get away" with the practice because the music is Public Domain (there are no royalties to pay). Still ... ( in my humble opinion) It is tacky!

[@shelleineym]

I played this at my summer music camp. 🎻

[@yodpatt]

Somebody, somebody pls explain how to make that scratching/squeaking sound my ensemble tried and only one girl could do it 😭😭

[@cccant6635]

i’m a wood wind and my orchestra teacher told us to print this out lol... he was testing us

To me somehow it sounds like a song in Beauty and the Beast, the part where all cups and plates dance, I think...?

[@BlaineOnRoblox]

Im in 8th grade and I played this at my concert. We were slow but I learned how to play it very smooth at 181 instead of 130. Overall very wonderful song and fun for the cellos and first violins to play!

Ahhh the memories Played this a few year ago now

[@tycchaus]

Theme song from the old show I've got a secret.

[@Malachiiee]

I played this last year and I was hard to learn but once you got it it was easy,. I remember my favorite part being the part where I squeak on my cello, I remember not being covered in finger print stains lol

[@haley9976]

The good news is once you've mastered this song, it stays in your muscle memory forever. I haven't played violin since high school (at least 7 years now) and I pulled this up to try to play along with now that I have my violin back, no sheet music, and it wasn't half bad 😂

[@carbonatedplastic2068]
