Rapper FIRST REACTION to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra

[@dionnedevillierssmith9582]

Hi BP, an orchestra is a group of musicians, usually around 70 - 80 people. They are composed of strings (violins, violas, cellos and double basses), woodwinds (clarinets, oboes, saxophones etc) brass (trumpets, trombones, flutes) and percussion (timpani, xylophones, marimbas etc, but may also include drums). Symphonies are pieces of music which are usually at least 4 distinct parts or movements. A Symphony might include a choir or vocal soloist. You get different names for Orchestras, eg Symphony or Philharmonic (roughly the same thing). You also get a chamber orchestra which is much smaller. All orchestras are led by the Conductor who keeps the tempo and ensures all the musicians are playing in time and at the right place. The Composer is the person who wrote the symphony. Orchestras also play pieces which are not symphonies, in fact there is a symphony orchestra in NZ which plays a pretty great version of Darude’s Samdstorm!

[@eryksun]

Since BP was curious about what it's called when an orchestra is accompanied by vocalists (e.g. a choir), it's worth noting that a symphony that's composed for an orchestra and a choir, and possibly solo vocalists, is simply called a "choral symphony". The first choral symphony was Beethoven's 9th Symphony, completed in 1824. It incorporates a choir and soloists singing "Ode to Joy" in the final movement. It's set to a melody that's commonly called the "Hymn to Joy", which has been the Anthem of Europe since 1985.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, composed by Ennio Morricone in 1966, is still considered by many to be the greatest movie score ever written.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Years ago, I bought this soundtrack because I thought it would be humorous, but appropriate, background music for a game night I was trying to plan for. That game night never happened, but I've never regretted buying this soundtrack, and I've listened to it far more times than I ever expected to.

[@alanfoster6589]

Who, for example? It's a great score, and I love it and this performance. Such judgements are very much subjective. I'd rather vote for Hermann's score for Citizen Kane, Korngold's for Robin Hood, Rosza's for Ben-hur, or even Steiner's for the original King Kong, which really challenged what a score could do. Doesn't minimize my admiration for Morricone's work.

[@galadballcrusher8182]

I would also vote for Conan score by Basil Poledouris. Especially cause like this score tells parts of the story filling gaps with leitmotifs it introduces and intertwines with scene music.

[@alanfoster6589]

Poledouris' score reminds me of what the celebrated wit and pianist Oscar Levant said of Steiner's "King Kong" score when the film first came out. "It's a concert of Steiner's music with visual accompaniment". I feel the same about the score for "Conan".@@galadballcrusher8182

Love the oboe section towards the end of the piece. What an amazing sound!

[@georgelynch6139]

The Oboe cuts through the strings and brass, the Danish National Orchestra seems to always have a Oboe section in the compositions they perform

[@BarnDoorProductions]

I think that's an English Horn (Cor Anglais). The oboe doesn't have the bend in the tube that holds the reeds. The English Horn does. A deeper, richer tone and lower range.

The 2nd half of the song is called "Ecstasy Of Gold" it was played when Tuko was running through the cemetary and Metallica uses the song before they hit the stage.

Yes, Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) was an Italian composer two times winner (2007 and 2016) of an Academy Awards. The director, Sergio Leone, was also Italian and called Morricone for the music of all his western films.

The real genius is someone who can hear each instrument part and be able to put it all together seamlessly in their head before putting down on paper. That is crazy, to me.

Ennio Morricone is a master composer. I used to listen to this soundtrack on repeat when I was a child. John Williams is another master composer who has composed many soundtracks (eg Star Wars). This kind of music is what made me a band kid. I had some amazing life experiences playing the French horn in a concert/marching band. I marched in some big parades (Calgary Stampede, Disneyworld) and played some memorable concerts and won a solo award at a music festival. This soundtrack never fails to give me goosebumps. You’ve got to check out some local symphony because hearing to live is a whole other experience.

[@johnclark2212]

My hats off to you, I tried to play the French horn in a marching band, I could play a little, or march a little, but not march and play at the same time!

I don't know how many times I've seen this performance, but if someone's reacting to it, I'm watching it again.

[@ipezmusic]

Morricone was a true composer. A master trumpet player. He studied with great modern composers. Then, he decided to "make something for a film". He took inspiration from a lot of different things, put them together in a single score... many times, for a lot of movies. He was a genius of course but he allways remained himself. And that's a rare trait. It's the third movie in the "dollar trilogy". These films made Clint Eastwood Clint Eastwood, I think. P.S: a mezzo soprano has a deep, sweet voice for sure! I love it.

[@MikaelLundin]

You should go to the opera sometime. It will blow your socks off. It is one thing to listen to it in headphones, another to have the rumbling of an orchestra start syncopating with your bowels.

[@Ecosse57]

it's similar to seeing an oil masterpiece in a textbook versus seeing it in a gallery. but as rothko admitted music has the advantage of surrounding the person.

[@my4mainecoons338]

Ennio Morricone died in 2020. Amazing composer. His score to The Mission is one of my faves. A composer writes a symphony. The orchestra is the performers. The person leading the orchestra is the conductor (not the composer). Sometimes composers will conduct, e.g. John Williams is a composer but he sometimes he conducts orchestras performing the Star Wars soundtrack. The instrument at the opening was a recorder, not a flute.

[@clausziege1938]

Thank you Ennio Morricone for creating this wonderful music.

Symphony: an elaborate musical composition for full orchestra, typically in four movements, at least one of which is traditionally in sonata form. Orchestra: a group of instrumentalists, especially one combining string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections and playing classical music.

Film scores are the modern follow-up of classical music (you know like Verdi, Beethoven, Mozart, etc). There are even some film score writer who do concerts with symphony orchestras like Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore and others. One of the most underrated film scores in my opinion is from Conan the Barbarian - the first huge movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But there is just a ton of great film scores. Maybe you try some more 🙂 Most people dont notice how important the music score is for a movie. Which makes movies like "no country for old men" so special (cause no score - thank you Coen Brothers for your brilliancy)

[@guittadabe5214]

When I discovered this I kept playing it every day for quite a while. You start noticing certain decorations as an homage to the movie, the hanging guy, the Clint Eastwood silhouette, the gun earrings of the "wawa" girl, etc...and what music! So loyal to the original score!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Generally, the difference between an orchestra and a band is an orchestra has strings. You know, violins. A symphony is generally considered a piece of classical music, or is composed in sections or movements like classical music was. “The good, the bad, and the ugly’ was originally the theme to the 1960s movie by the same name. The original theme to the movie was released as a single and became a top 10 hit by its original artist, Hugo Montenegro, and his Orchestra. If memory serves, it was a hit in 1968.

Composer writes the music Conductor arranges the music - translates original score to meet their vision of the music - anything from tempo to what instruments are included (generating the music score) to harmonisation. They’re also the drill sargeant to get everyone to deliver the vision of the piece of music. They are also a visual metronome for all members of the orchestra to keep the correct beat along with guiding them in when they start / stop both the whole performance and also the individual components.

The lady who sang "wah wah", her name is tuva semmingson, a classically trained singer in her own right, she sings everything from opera to standards to pop. A diva of the 1st class. If you look closely, for this concert she was wearing little six shooter earrings. PERFECT!!! I watched an interview with the two vocalists.Tuva Semmingsen AKA the Wa Wa Lady, as she has been called by the tube, actually likes being called the Wa Wa Lady. She couldn't believe how this performance took off on the tube. Christine Nonbo Andersen is the solo vocalist in the audience. This was her first performance with the Danish National Orchestra. Both ladies nailed their performances and added a stunning element to this Ennio Morricone masterpiece. Ennio Morricone was a composer of film soundtracks, where he used instruments and objects that are not normally used in an orchestral ensemble. Electric guitars, basses, ocarinas, bongos ... but also whips, gunshots, gusts of wind. Entering Morricone's work is a complete immersion. A moving tribute for fidelity down to the smallest details is what the Spaghetti Werstern Orchestra did to him.

This has probably been mentioned but two pieces are being played here. Up until 6:35 is the main theme, used in the opening credits. At 6:35 the piece slows down and they perform The Ecstasy of Gold, the music playing when Tuco runs through the cemetery.
