The Wellerman - Sea Shanty (Symphonic Version)

[@AMWilde]

The person who arranged this should seriously consider a career in film scoring!

[@thisisthefoxe]

I mean yes, but also considering they work for the military I don't think they will..

[@jrayproductions7790]

Seriously. This is POTC levels of theatrical scoring

[@jrayproductions7790]

@@thisisthefoxe You do know that military isn't permanent, right?

[@JumpingFlapjack]

The Person named: Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) Christoph Scheibling :)

[@anfrm7849]

Probably he or she already is there.

[@lauzarus4313]

What makes me love orchestras is the number of people working TOGETHER to create a masterpiece like this. It is beautiful to see. Orchestras are the thing that makes me love a group of people and cry tears of joy

[@Rosedawn321]

What a FABULOUS arrangement! Sounds like it came right out of Pirates of the Caribbean!

[@FayyaadHendricks]

Soon may the euphonium come With trombones, tubas, and a snare drum One day when th'conductor is done We'll take our horns and blow

[@tanya5322]

Well done

[@GreenClouds-pz5pm]

We’ll leave you all speechless With our perfect me-lo-dy We will not let our music pass Without you hearing it cryyyyyy (????)

[@YeetyboisEmpire]

yes

[@calanon534]

I just sat and stared at the German Army Band play an Anglo sea shanty, which turned it from a mere sailor's tune of misery and woe, _to an uplifting, and inspiring score_ fit for the best fictional hero. Wunderbar. Magnificent. I'm stunned. Keep being awesome.

[@elvastan]

When I talk about an "Epic Orchestral cover" THIS is what I mean

[@mrouth5691]

The drummer is so enjoying himself… such an appropriate arrangement!

[@abol2450]

3:14 - 3:19 How the orchestral melody so seamlessly switches from the horns to the trumpets amazes me.

[@fiarfebrian6866]

the only reason why no one is commenting is because they are all as speachless as me

[@Psalm15LifeGoal]

You can say that again!

[@trcmf]

As someone from the Canadian east coast where shanties are a thing of past and only the folk songs remain I think this is Genius. Next level even.

[@DanielNLD]

This masterpiece is causing my daughter (1,5) to stand frozen in front of the TV, absolutely brilliant! After the song she asks me to repeat it.

[@anniwie3427]

Man sieht dem Schlagzeuger richtig an, wie viel Spaß er hat!

[@kirillzakharov7336]

I could listen to this for hours. I am glad its back on KZbin.

[@monke5596]

You rarely see saxophones in these things, and they really add to the range of sound and blend with the talent of all the other amazing players

[@emperorpalps1076]

Still coming back to watch this masterpiece, fills me with joy and inspiration and leaves me smiling every time.

[@johnjohn-vo3vo]

Mein Herren Gesangsverein! Da ist man gemütlich am Musik hören und dann werden einem musikalisch vom allerfeinsten die Beine unterm Hintern weggezogen, nein weggefegt!! Wenn Musikanten es schaffen das man sich hinknien muss weil der ganze Körper nur noch aus Gänsehaut besteht… Und während man mit geschlossenen Augen die Bässe der Bläser genießt….hüpft Kapitän Jack Sparrow besoffen durchs Kopfkino und singt ein Lied welches er gar nicht kennen dürfte… Herzlichen Dank dafür!!

[@algoy001]

Ich liebe diesen Song. Hab ihn das erste Mal als Version der Marine mit dem Musikkorps Wilhelmshaven gesehen. Aber egal ob am Piano, A capella, auf der Orgel oder wie hier symphonisch, der Wellerman bewegt was in mir, dieses Lied ist einfach klasse und geht ins Ohr.

[@te-fx7iw]

Blasinstrumente, Schlagzeug (perfekt) und Harfe. Eine Million Stunden Übung und wir haben es: die Schallleistung eines Hurrikans und die Zartheit einer Ballerina. Grüße.

[@justusundjuno6786]

Satter symphonischer Klang, toll!

[@gnothisauton2116]

A beautiful arrangement and perfectly played. Bravo!

[@paddotk]

Holy damn. Those heavy sounds at 1:52, just wonderful

[@bibistaufi2653]

Ich find das Lied klasse !! Tolles Arramgement vom Musikkorps !!!

[@williamtraynor-kean7214]

A first class arrangement, played by first class musicians, deserves a very large Bravo Zulu.

[@KimPlexed]

Rotary valve trumpets, did not expect that. Absolutely wonderful playing.

[@fredneu7645]

To be honest, I was skeptical when this video popped up, but I would like to apologize for my dumbfounded thinking. This arrangement is brilliant and it suits a military band perfectly

[@pointlesspublishing5351]

DAS. IST. GENIAL. Respekt. Tolles Arrangement.

[@tlu99]

Ja, kann mich nur anschließen. Wunderbar

[@niklasgermann]

Ist das das Arrangement von Sebastian Middel, oder?

[@byronking9573]

Outstanding in every respect. Composition and arrangement, performance, conducting, and general showmanship. Very impressive.

[@jimmazurek5589]

Beautiful rendition of this old sea shanty. Thanks to all who made this video possible.

[@gerardacronin334]

The song was first recorded in New Zealand in 1971.

[@ewaldschmitz2671]

Dieses Musikstück ist Balsam für die Ohren und die Seele. Danke!!! ❤

[@sarosch]

Unreal! I could see waves and men marching and singing. Very powerful piece!

[@Sebideluxe]

They surely always had their Hans Zimmer cereal for breakfast. Well done !

[@MarekMichalakMusic]

Great orchestral arrangement of a classic sea shanty! Love it!

[@cobymela]

Finally! Peace in my car during the morning commute between symphonic and kids music!

[@theresamnsota3925]

So schön. Hats off to the arranger, because they did an amazing job with the different voicing and using each instrument perfectly.

[@normvw4053]

With or without the words, the message is unmistakable, and the music just as outstanding.

[@bojanungeheuer3721]

Toll, meine anfängliche Skepsis ist sofort gewichen. Hervorragende Wechsel der beteiligten Instrumentegruppen. Bin kein Fachmann, staune deswegen umso mehr. Großartig.

[@tini243]

This seriously beats any and all epic orchestral versions I have heard of this piece of music. BRAVO!

[@aliciacarovini1075]

Maravilloso!!! Me encanta ésta canción y voy a investigar su origen. Ésta versión orquestal es espectacular!!! Saludos desde Argentina! ❤️🇦🇷

[@Gabi-j5f]

Wunderschön

[@Pen2Code]

If the intro was extended it will still feel like the Wellerman song but from a different perspective, it will give scale to the journey itself. Love how it eases in introducing the vision of crews aboard the deck🥰🥰🥰.

[@Sarah-ds7so]

Unbeschreiblich schön

[@wesseltendolle]

What a great arrangement of such a “simple” tune. Very nice!

[@MG-dd9kj]

Thanks from Germany, Great job

[@gnothisauton2116]

Bravo! I’ve never heard such a beautiful rendering of a traditionally a capella song.

[@Flazius]

This is absolutely amazing, and how it "only" has 130K views is beyond me. Well done everyone!

[@sharim]

Absolutely spectacular! What a super rendition.

[@TheProfessor102]

Superb! Stellar musicianship by all. Audio recording is breathtaking. The final mix down was beyond excellent.

[@caril.9384]

Holy Cow, this is incredible! Feels right out of Pirates of the Carribean

[@gtt720]

Man, I've got goosebumps. Amazing orchestration; gorgeous performance!

[@pretzelman945]

This is the greatest wellerman arrangement/cover i’ve ever seen

[@findus2591]

GEWALTIG👍👍👍👍👍

[@giuseppevinci7653]

Arrangiamento ed esecuzione di altissimo livello. Complimenti!!

[@ccm1092]

I didn't know a sea shanty could go this hard. Fantastic!

[@stevekirk8546]

Superb! Never expected to hear Wellerman in a symphonic setting but that is very good indeed. Starts in a way that echos the Alpine Symphony then blossoms into a jaunty tone but played with absolute precision.

[@TraceyBintyah]

This is absolutely exceptional. Moved me beyond words. Exquisite artistry and arrangement. Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us.

[@timmothy58]

ok...those oboes...instant water in my eyes...thank...love...

[@LuxGamer4ever]

Fantastische Aufnahme und Arrangement!!

[@mrsamarok7600]

Großartig. Was für ein Arrangement, was für eine Spielfreude! Danke dafür!

[@SupremeDP]

Absolutely awesome.

[@gisaaguglia5517]

Arrangiamento stupendo. La canzone diventa ancora più emozionante. Sembra di vedere la nave sul mare in tempesta. Bravissimi tutti

[@fuchsifuchs2632]

Geilster March, vor allem auf der Snare 😍

[@ulrichriegel403]

Einfach nur .......geil .......

[@jackhiggs]

Professional brass bandmasters are some of the best arrangers in the business.

[@frozenyogurth]

Absolut umwerfend! Wirklich wirklich tolles Stück!!

[@FentnIceCream]

I love this! I love the Wellerman song (my kids do too!). Thanks for putting this together- amazing!

[@piahofmann542]

Ich habe den Wellerman schon live gehört bei einem eurer Konzerte im November bei uns in der Stadt. Ich liebe dieses Orchester 💞

[@dslrowdy64]

This arrangement is just brilliant.

[@cymbala6208]

Hervorragend! Herzlichen Dank allen Beteiligten!

[@ARHSDailyPodcast]

I love the Bassoon melody at the beginning.

[@danielhostetler9493]

Brilliant, magnificent, it is and was a stunningly beautiful arrangement of a very simple piece of music performed impeccably. Bravissimo!!

[@hans-christianhofmann1679]

merci beaucoup!

[@ian-bv5cu]

dit is een geweldig stuk🤩

[@danilobojos5245]

I never thought that this song may sound entirely beautiful on orchestra. I used to hear this as score for several cartoon shows watched by our millennial kids…

[@the_d_c1004]

Das Fagott ist ein so wundervolles Soloinstrument.

[@shanthageorge7413]

Amazing! The arrangement is brilliant.

[@webbesreloaded]

Genau in so einem Deutschland will ich leben❤😂

Bass Trombone is awesome! Great arrangement!

Wunderbar....!!!!!!!!!

[@decimatestudios7686]

Wunderbar. Es ist total perfekt. Entschuldigung, mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr guht.

[@superpsychotropical88]

Traurig dass hier fast nur englische Kommentare zu finden sind. Bravo an alle Beteiligten und danke für euern Dienst!

[@bhavyasharma9908]

Marvellous!!! Truly a masterpiece of an arrangement!! I was left spellbound listening to the orchestra!! What talent indeed👏👏👏✨✨

[@shadowjack8]

"Arg! A fittin' ' reason to crank up the volume on me head phones. I loves me a good sea shanty! Great piece of music. I love a strong brass section.

[@andy1307t]

[@margaretdecker4861]

Absolutely outstanding!!!!!!

[@rizalali7307]

Sehr klasse!

[@nancysilvernail5802]

Yet another splendid version! Love this one too!

[@Unmannedair]

Freaking brilliant! Easily my new favorite version!

[@philh8829]

Wow, amazing. Wunderbar!

[@beetlejuice024]

Just great !!!!! Thank you for that 😊

[@EchoHanna-m9e]

loved the basoon melody but hearing it on low brass is what really did it for me

[@h-mh93]

Es spielt das Musikkops der Bundeswehr zum Weltfriedenstag! Es mag ironisch klingen - aber es ist ein Beweis für eine Armee aus der Mitte des Volkes die sich als Mittel zur Verteidigung und Abschreckung begreift - um es eben gar nicht erst zum Krieg kommen zu lassen. Hoffen wir mal alle daß es klappt! Mein Respekt an die Musiker - tolle Leistung!

[@theophanu4374]

Tolle Musiker
