Nick Mohammed is a talented person indeed.

[@JesusMargarito]

2022 and it's still funny to watch

[@dominicedwards-wilds4333]

An accurate representation of our Thursday and Tuesday night rehearsals 😂😂😂

[@alyssacroacia]

OMG I LOVE it when he points and the orchestra plays that one chord! LOL XD

[@angie.mci10]

omg the way he teaches just look like my choir conductor

[@kidman3343]

CAN WE GET THE SHEEP OUTTA HERE PLEASE?! *BANG* "AHH!" "oh sorry... awww god.."

[@birdman3120]

Nick Mohammed is great. I feel this was inspired by the Rowan Atkinson sketch from the Secret Policeman's Ball.

[@MrMusicalmatt]

I love this. This is basically what happens in one of my bands, minus the sheep.

[@jaccaaccaa]

Just love the British sense of humour!!!

[@JenniferMargaretBarker]

Excellent job from the conductor - great timing and very clever!

[@WondersNassiri]

this guy is brilliant!!

[@pobz100]

This is great - superb dialogue!

[@cafity]

Prokofiev's symphony no. 5 in the finale :D Yay!!

[@shaharablackbeard2706]

Brilliant!

[@liiitche]

Excellent !!

[@layarita]

Amazing 😂

[@hdng1984]

Here from Off Menu podcast

[@hermanzoon]

It starts off with Beethoven's 7th symphony and the bit you hear at 0:20 is Pachabel's canon.

[@jenievans4961]

Wonderful, who is this wonderful man??

[@HCProds1]

+jeni evans Nick Mohammed

[@loolylooly81]

Brilliant

[@joseluissierravalencia8570]

Ángela Gheorghiu with the Liberame from Verdi's Requiem at 1:06

[@tiffanylowe6123]

saw this at garth hill college! brilliant

[@michaelpfahler1022]

I would love to here the song he is trying to rehearse from beginning to end.

[@crispybits3765]

Genius

[@SkyeMacKinnonAuthor]

thats hilarious!

[@cherrybombsnpopcorn]

And finally basses- raaaaaawr!!!! ROFL

[@isis347]

Horns, lovely. :)

[@kayefrachey2726]

This is so funny. And I agree with Rachel.

[@DevoidOfDirectionTV]

THE TENORS HAHA!

[@ratsouffle]

How brilliant to see such a discussion happen without descending into an argument... perhaps KZbin is improving :D

[@musicmanaj92]

Bwahahaha this is AMAZING :DDD

[@strawberrson]

1:37 lovely horns! :D

[@RafikiGurl123]

[@HughRaine]

[@sunmethods]

REST REST COUNT REST REST REST *hooorns*

[@bopitsolly]

[@koolkat104]

@Mint89674523 Favorite part of the entire thing. That and the "AHHH!" Okay, now Sopranos! *higher pitched scream*

[@CherubiJubell]

OMG OUR ORCHESTRA'S ON TV MOM!!!

[@1DeathEater]

[@TheCelloGirl8]

39 people were the sheep haha

[@annabelalder5344]

who’s here from off menu

[@AbdilainesBlackMagic]

actually they can. there are also female basses, just very rare. Evidence has shown that Vivaldi used an entirely female choir at the written pitch.

[@tridecalogisms]

@SuckerForRockers It's the very last bit of Prokofiev 5!

[@nayoungjin6114]

wow...

[@MSCViolin]

Truth.

[@lonelyphoenix7]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[@androc75]

a ha..this ia good

[@Violinna]

Does anybody know about the violin passage at the very end of the video? Sounds so familiar....Is it prokofiev or am I crazy?

[@uranrising]

It's last bar of Prokofiev 5th Symphony. Greetings from East Anglia in Englandland

[@Cedef36]

wondering the same thing!

[@MrRaffiMik]

Tenors : "Liberae Mae Domine......" Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@apeonapc]

haha lol why is British sketch comedy often so much funnier than American? I mean I'm American but I think this is hilarious. Monty Python too, of course.

[@JaynaEM]

Ohh okay. I remember it from yahoo messenger! That really was bugging me lol.

[@rachelfreeman8455]

The first chord makes me think Star Wars.

[@julaibeeb]

FUNNY !!!!!! =)) =)) =))

[@jachal142]

@archersinner Ohhh. I gotcha. And yes, at 1:37 it is No. 5. It's the beginning of the second theme. :D

[@BadThingsJustHappen]

Where is the sountrack for everything but his talking and the audience laughing? Because I want it soo bad.

[@textingstorystorysandmore]

hi its now 2020

[@mediaglitch]

Is that Nate the great?

[@JaynaEM]

I recognize that "Quicker than the ray of light she's flying" where have I heard it from? I thinnnkk it's from a ringtone on my phone. I don't know. Haha anyone know what it is?

[@1DeathEater]

Who is this conductor? I just NEEEEEED to know..

[@tjpinkn]

The bit at 0:20 is "Phil Collins - Cant Stop Loving You", isn't it.

[@Vesivian]

is there a live orchestra?

[@dannydnl]

Who knows what is the melody from 0:20?

[@VoicuSteff]

not bad :P

[@ayakagenshin8725]

HELP Does anyone know the part of the song that the flutes were playing? I recognise it but I don't remember it!!!! 0:50- 0:52

[@michaelbailey2883]

It's called, Dance of the reed, and it's from the Nutcracker ballet suit by Tchaikovsky

[@jachal142]

@archersinner You mean Symphony No. 5?

[@hermanzoon]

@shaylen911 Then Phil is using the same chord progression as Pach did with his Canon. :-)

[@Hypnoticsloth]

What is the part at 1:46 from?

[@OddSqodd]

Great sketch! Check out Odd Sqodd sketch comedy for even more craziness!

[@CryATear]

it'S Madonna - Ray Of Light

[@Wakablahblah]

anyone know the song at 1:32??

[@NOOBIE00619]

does anybody mind telling me what the song is at 1.32?

[@zunzagi]

Does anyone know the song at 1:32?

[@sallyb17]

This has all the right elements but sorry can't help thinking it's not a patch on Igudesman and Joo.

[@apeonapc]

fair enough I guess it comes down to a moment-by-moment basis when you want to judge what's funnier, and it all depends on one's personality.

[@ClassicHolic]

is the last bit from bartok's concerto for orchestra?

[@lokmanmerican6889]

It's from Prokofiev's 5th Symphony, not Bartok.

[@SilentDesert]

[@ImJustSayin2014]

Are you kidding me? I'm an alto and can sing most Tenor range easily.

[@Slossage17]

Does anyone know the song at 2:07?? What is it?

[@mariocloutier4562]

Oui

[@Alia-bc3rc]

Madonna-Ray of Light

[@themadgamer8915]

What's the piece the 'horns' start playing?

[@lokmanmerican6889]

You mean at 1:36? It's from Beethoven's fifth symphony, 1st mov.

[@user-yn7gi6eb9k]

Hypnoticsloth That would be the score of the movie "Close encounters of the third kind" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind

[@hahyunlee512]

beethoven's 7th!

[@Johnny-Joseph]

nope

[@bordarboy]

the tenors were altos...

[@quidprobro]

What is the song at 1:48? If you say "Darude - Sandstorm", don't you think that's a little played out yet?

[@HewWagner]

It's from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, on the soundtrack it's the track "Wild Signals"

[@pieforpi314]

It is Darude - Sandstorm, Its not played out, because in music, there are two rules. Play out when you are supposed to and Count. Therefore, since Darude Sandstorm has not made an appearance yet, it should be allowed to play out. And yes, it counts.

[@MrFunnpun]

Things a conductor or band director will never say...

[@flemish4]

An advert on the BBC .. Blasphemy!

[@mr11]

7th actually ... -_-

[@aa4285]

Well that was a waste of time..... You want to see comedy orchestra, do a search and find Danny Kaye conducting the NY Philharmonic.

[@celticears]

I don't get it. Didn't someone say it was a parody?

[@mcgravybiscuit]

@jump4h it's america's lack of desire to be witty over funny. American want to just be funny, Brits want to be witty at the same time. It's a sophistication which Americans so often lack... although, the comedy greats new and old like Will Ferrell and Robin WIlliams tap into this sometimes while giving the American twist which is a complete disregard for diginity. Don't get me wrong, i'm american as well, and freakin' love Robin and Will... but they don't beat Monty Python or Blackadder.

[@violinnerds]

He got Alto and Tenor wrong... no female singer can sing Tenor range :p

[@zuzanazuzanita]

malísimooooooooooooo!!! guacala

[@drav1dan]

British comedy is not funnier than American comedy, it is just that the sense of humor is different in the two cultures. The British cannot create comedy like Seinfeld or Cheers and Americans cannot create comedy like Yes Minister or Spitting Image.

[@TrumpetMAB]

drav1dan Seinfeld is NOT funny.

[@DonProfondo1974]

Cleverly done and perfect timing, yes - just not funny, unfortunately.

[@davidmurphy9974]

Sense of humor required - like the 1700 up-voters have but you and 83 other losers have not.

[@earfetish]

sorry but that was poor

[@Desmonddd2002]

The British just thinks they are funny but they arent i am like wtf..... I found the Victor Borge ones and Igudesman and Joo ones much more better. I dont mind they put music and comedy together, I adore the ones that are great, but this is just...... Stupid.
