ORCHESTRAL SCORE STUDY #5: Overture to 'Candide' (Bernstein)

[@aliciadalbey1201]

This made my night! The wind band arrangement of this piece by clare grundman is one of my favorite pieces ever!

[@jamisonhouchell2116]

Same

[@rynlazorchak574]

This is crazy, I'm literally starting rehearsals for Candide tomorrow! Great reduction and analysis!

[@clc1801]

I always love the pics you insert during the music.

[@izhaanahmed3038]

Beautiful edits of Lenny. I found this transcription very enjoyable

[@robertperez2262]

I performed this with a large community sax ensemble last summer… love Glitter and Be Gay and loved the fact that it had a segment from the aria in the overture. Also I kinda had to tell the ensemble that what they are playing is supposed to be Cunegonde’s maniacal laughter … which I think they enjoyed

[@monstrosa2735]

Just found your channel, these score studies are great. As a horn player that’s been playing for 13 years now, I’ve played almost all of the pieces that you’ve covered and it’s great to get a broader perspective of the piece than one gets from just playing their part. Thanks!

I loved playing this in highschool on french horn!

[@jackaguirre8576]

The recording may not be perfect but I love me some Eb Clarinet and that Eb player was great!

[@cayden3003]

Come Sunday by Omar Thomas would be one hell of a video

[@VickieHenson-rj3kw]

Anthony do you have a favorite transcription of this piece? Grundman or Beeler?

[@lollystacey]

heyyy i’m playing this in youth orchestra!

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

I didn’t know Trisha Paytas was in a youth orchestra… odd since she’s like 35

[@aliciadalbey1201]

Also you should do Abrams pursuit by holspringer eventually

So at bar 52 at 1:05 is the notation wrong or piatti fucked up?

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Gosh, the player is all over the place

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

@@AndreyRubtsovRU player messed up

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic three times!!! Is this a student orch??

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

@@AndreyRubtsovRU this is the LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, it’s not my favorite orchestra for these type of things but it’s one of the cleaner recordings that isn’t at a tempo where the piece is falling apart constantly. Even Bernstein thought his tempo indication (150 bpm) was farcical, he revised it to 130 bpm and I honored the composers intent and went with a recording 1. With him conducting and 2. with the most up to date and definitive score.

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic well... They suck 😂😂😂

[@whateverfin]

this recording is all over the place 😂 no offense london

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

I personally am not a fan of LSO for 80% of music. The brass is too ‘tinny’ and unbalanced, the strings to lethargic. But this recording most accurately reflects the composer intent and his final, most definitive version. Go back and listen to his own recordings of it with NYPO and it’s so fast it derails and it (to me) uncomfortable to listen to

[@nicholaswerner8170]

ms. 116 should be Dm, F naturals.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Geez, you proof the thing a dozen times and you still miss dumb mistakes like that. Thanks

[@robstockton2463]

I’m curious who would be the target audience for this video. As a pit musician myself (and, I think, for any serious or professional musician), it’s far too superficial and haphazard to be useful in any way, but yet I don’t really see casual KZbin viewers getting much out of it either. And then I must add, you chose a poor recording with audible mistakes on top of it, so it’s not even good purely as a listening experience. Couldn’t you at least have chosen a recording led by Bernstein? I just don’t get it.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Surely, someone out there finds some utility in this information presented as such.

[@andrea7002]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic i do!

[@AnthonyChmielewski_]

I'm sure the owner of this channel does these studies for his own enjoyment and learning, for one. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case --- he has so many of them on this channel!

[@jackiebrot959]

@@AnthonyOTooleMusic i love these videos! i learn so much :) i honestly thought the recording was altered in some way so that some parts would be more noticeable but i guess not. and even though most of the music theory in the vids are basic, interesting things are pointed out and if i want to do more analysis on my part, i can.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

@@jackiebrot959 thanks for your comment and glad you enjoy them. I try to make these videos as universally enjoyable as I can, while understanding the majority of KZbin users are age 13-25 so I have to speak to that level of musical understanding.

[@MNorbert89]

These video clips of Bernstein are totally uneccessary and annoying honestly don't know what the intention was.
