Nicholas Ma - Carnival of Masks for Trumpet Quintet (5 Trumpets/Flugelhorns)

[@mr.stawmp]

Reminds me of Gershwin in many places. Very cool. Edit: Seconds after writing this comment I heard the part where you exactly quoted Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue

[@NicholasMaMusic]

Haha that's funny you commented moments before the Gershwin quotation happened, and thank you!

[@evaviolinist]

I love the various musical quotations!

[@kaifeng_jack5532]

Straight up fire, this great composition deserves more attention🔥🔥

[@limeade8466]

The inserts from other classical pieces were really funny but also very cool! This composition is a banger to listen to!

[@NicholasMaMusic]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, especially the classical quotation section. I tried to mimic the trumpets fighting for the TV Remote, changing the channels through all the classical pieces so it was definitely a new experience achieving that effect!

This is tremendous! Your talent never ceases to amaze me. I loved the entire composition, but the part where the flugelhorns came in one by one made me feel like I was crawling into the coziest blanket, then as they went out, it was like waking up from a cozy nap. Their sound is so full and warm I just love it. Your music always fills my mind with pictures, like my own personal Fantasia movie. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@NicholasMaMusic]

Thank you so much once again for your kind words! It's really inspiring reading your reactions to the music, and I'm happy that the flugelhorn section's warm color change was effective!

​@@NicholasMaMusic 😅your arrangements are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@CapnShanty]

There are many good composers, there are few MEMORABLE composers. You are memorable. (Good too is implied.)

[@pianothingsmusic]

Sounds thrilling! 🤩

[@NicholasMaMusic]

Thank you!

[@sophiliamajestign9303]

This is gorgeous! Good job! This on KZbin, that technically means it's also on KZbin music! It's getting added to the playlists!

[@NicholasMaMusic]

Thank you!

Do “Luigi Circut but classical composers play Mario Kart 64”.

It might be musecore

Is this actually performable??

[@Whatismusic123]

The epitome of incompetency.

[@elipcellist13]

@WIM I’m genuinely curious… why do you feel the need to comment so many negative things on so many videos? I’ve seen your comments before, and I find them to be rude and arrogant (and I’m sure other people do to). Sometimes you should keep your opinions to yourself.

[@Whatismusic123]

@@elipcellist13 I'm genuinely curious... how come my negative comments are somehow worse than the blindly positive ones? Is it merely because you disaggree?

[@FugaxContrapunctus]

​@@Whatismusic123 There's a difference between respectfully expressing one's criticism towards a work of art and outright spouting disdainful insults as you have done. Most regular commenters on this channel do not simply post "blindly positive comments": rather, they show respect to the work of a bold and talented composer who doesn't feel afraid to explore different styles than the ones close-minded viewers of your ilk might be most accustomed to. And, in case you couldn't tell, that's way better than outright calling said composer "incompetent" on account of your own pretentious ignorance.

[@Whatismusic123]

@@FugaxContrapunctus ok, compare then 🤣 You only think my opinion is invalid, because you believe this work to be something worthy of respect, while I believe it is the lowest of garbage, that a child could produce. You're a hypocrite.

[@Whatismusic123]

@@FugaxContrapunctus it's always the ignorant and incapable which call others ignorant. The music on your channel is garbage.
