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.

[@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 (????)

[@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.

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

[@fiarfebrian6866]

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

[@Psalm15LifeGoal]

You can say that again!

[@Rosedawn321]

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

[@abol2450]

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

[@Sebideluxe]

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

[@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.

[@mrouth5691]

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

[@paddotk]

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

[@pointlesspublishing5351]

DAS. IST. GENIAL. Respekt. Tolles Arrangement.

[@tlu99]

Ja, kann mich nur anschließen. Wunderbar

[@niklasgermann]

Ist das das Arrangement von Sebastian Middel, oder?

[@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!!

[@pretzelman945]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@cobymela]

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

[@kirillzakharov7336]

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

[@bibistaufi2653]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@piahofmann542]

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

[@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.

[@emperorpalps1076]

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

[@justusundjuno6786]

Satter symphonischer Klang, toll!

[@sarosch]

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

[@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.

[@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…

[@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🥰🥰🥰.

[@MG-dd9kj]

Thanks from Germany, Great job

[@byronking9573]

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

[@stevekirk8546]

Suberb! 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.

[@Flazius]

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

[@afh7689]

It now has 902k!

[@ccm1092]

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

[@matyastaller159]

[@decimatestudios7686]

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

[@theresamnsota3925]

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

[@clemencerebut8496]

[@MarekMichalakMusic]

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

[@gisaaguglia5517]

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

[@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.

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

[@wesseltendolle]

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

[@Jay-qb9wx]

Absolutely AMAZING ❤❤❤

Geilster March, vor allem auf der Snare 😍

[@timurgianti8385]

The song itself is good enough, but this is ABSOLUTELY EPIC!

[@michaelbiggs1254]

I realise this is a full orchestra but it has a brilliant colliery brass band feel. Amazing.

[@mrsamarok7600]

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

[@bh46356]

this is epic. this should be in every sailing movie.

[@Brynja24]

Wahnsinn! Mein Sohn und ich sind sprachlos

[@michaelangelo86gr]

This should be in the next Civilization game

[@anniwie3427]

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

[@tini243]

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

[@mayafrank1064]

Hammer Lied, Hammer Musiker, Supper Arrangement. Richtig richtig gute Tonaufnahme!

[@jackhiggs]

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

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

[@dianewilliams1125]

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

[@kimb777]

That’s crazy good

[@matyastaller159]

If I may also give my personal salutations to the monsieur at 1:20, whoever he might be: you, sir, rock. Alone with just the drums, oh gods.

[@tcrosslinho5565]

Truly awesome. I love it.

[@jackmclane1826]

This goes STRAIGHT into my music collection. I just had it on the headphones... I will listen to it again in my living room to recieve the proper low frequency feeling. ;)

[@SupremeDP]

Absolutely awesome.

[@sharim]

Absolutely spectacular! What a super rendition.

Erinnert ein wenig an Fluch der Karibik. Super Arrangement und tolle Musiker 👍🏼
