pt i: love and hold nothing back

the first installment of a 3-part piece I composed for ‪@Next_Fest‬ - this one is titled "love and hold nothing back" and I hope it makes you feel that way. Next one will be coming next friday!
Because we are doing this DIY, we are holding a gofundme to help turn this performance into a studio-quality recording: gofund.me/6ec8169c
Please contribute if you'd like to help pay 19 string players to make this dream recording a reality!

[@seyaviolin]

This was so much fun, Yvette! Definitely my favorite performance of 2023. Thank you for writing this for us and see you in the studio ☺️

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

you smashed that violin solo for real! See you super soon!!

[@yotta_00]

Thank you for the beautiful performance!

[@froobly]

I was listening to this in another tab and when that solo at the end hit I had to stop what I was doing. That vibrato is fire 🔥

[@seyaviolin]

@@froobly thank you so much! Hoping to make it even better on the recording 😈

[@unknownuser105]

“See you in the studio” just made my day. 😮

[@xborcx]

Just donated to the gofundme because I, and the rest of the world, needs to hear a studio recording of this.

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

Thank you so so so much!!!

[@ramy4496]

the conductor looks like he's having a blast

[@yotta_00]

This was incredible, the way it builds up, how everything mixes and flows but still retains clarity. Don´t hit me with the feels on a friday, Yvette. Part 2 can't come soon enough! I implore everyone that can donate to go to the gofundme, let's reach that recording!

[@lasagnahog7695]

I love Yvette's playing and I love modern classic string instrument composition. This is amazing and beautiful and really, really good to listen to.

[@EarthnAshes]

I love how whatever music you work with, it sounds and feels like being told a coherent story from start to end. I desperately wanted to see this live but this high quality vid is the next best thing. Gorgeous collaboration bewteen you and the orchestral artists! I'm excited to hear the next two parts!

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

gonna try out best to record it!!

[@trevorkieser1581]

This was absolutely gorgeous. You really did love and hold nothing back, all of you. I'm looking forward to the other two movements!

[@ItsMeBarnaby]

I could listen to a whole album of this. Really beautiful thank you for sharing

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

Working on making it happen 🖤

[@II_Holocene_II]

Yvette, I told you this when I met y'all in Philly, but seriously every piece of music you create is always able to transport me to a safer place. I feel like I'm in a Ghibli movie or something every time. Thank you so much for being such a beacon of light in the world and for personally being my biggest inspiration when it comes to songwriting.

[@equiusoceano8493]

This is exactly the feeling. It's like a hug in song.

[@jhaucktattoos]

Easily one of the best arrangements I’ve ever heard, from one of my favorite guitarists of all time. ❤

[@BEEEELEEEE]

This is the most moving piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. I honestly had tears welling up by the end, it’s just so beautiful.

[@mellowbeatz93]

So beautiful!!! This needs to be recorded at the studio!!! Please guys make it happen! ❤

[@Maggos89]

Everything about this is incredible. Yvette you never fail to amaze me.

[@drewwhite5869]

Yvette your music has kept me plying my curiosity to guitar for the past few years more and more and more. this is music I will show my children one day. thank you for your creativity and always sounding like yourself. love from Memphis

[@bobbycollins6783]

This is so beautiful The string composition is incredible. And Y Y is the wizard of the guitar. Creating magic with those fingers. Casting a spell on all that listen's. Mesmerizingly beautiful.

[@chrisgarver7904]

Thank you Yvette for all the beauty you bring into this world.

[@ChiEnLeeMusic]

Wow. Just... Wow.

[@matthewwp326]

I really hope that this gets a full recording because i don’t think any song has moved me the way that this one has. I sincerely believe that this will be the song I use for my first dance at my wedding.

[@BrettFairchild]

Wow, this made me pretty emotional. I guess that says it all.

[@kirkroth3505]

That was absolutely beautiful and so therapeutic! Best to you Eya!

[@seyaviolin]

Sorry, I didn’t see this until now! Thank you so much, Mr. Roth!!

[@jcodg4428]

the orchestra really leveled up your music. it sounds divine.

[@joesatchton212]

I was lucky enough to "discover" Yvette really early on in her KZbin career,. I said at the time that Yvette was one of the freshest, most vibrant and unique guitar players I had ever heard. A scant few years and innumerous praises later, Yvette simply continues to shine with her compositions and playing. These three pieces define the word sublime for modern guitar and orchestral compositions. Thank you Yvette and all the musicians involved. On a personal note, as a New York City native, I am simply delighted to see the wonderful New School program embracing artists like Yvette.

[@hankhillsdisappointedsigh]

Well.. I didn't expect to start my day weeping into my oatmeal.. but here I am.

[@Bruh-zi7le]

need this one on spotify ASAP

[@xivivix7195]

Props for taking a risk and branching out artistically.

[@felipegomabrockmann2740]

My Favorit Artist of 2023

[@ryanarndt5505]

It's not every day that music brings tears to my eyes, but this is one of those days. Thank you for sharing this beautiful first installment, Yvette. :)

[@thewillformerlyknownasartist]

the conductor was FEELIN it

[@gavinleepermusic]

Wonderful tune Yvette! It was a magical evening to be there for the performance, and it’s so cool to finally see HQ footage of it!

[@brenpbates]

Wow, I don't know how else to describe it other than it felt like returning home. It was breathtaking, thank you, Yvette, and everyone else who contributed to bringing this wonderful piece to life!

[@maurogarces7337]

Good thing that's the title because i love it and i aint holding back my tears. This moves me deeply. Thank you Yvette and every musician involved. Blessings to you all.

[@MetalHendrix.]

Beautiful Performance🥲Thank You.

[@captainzero119]

damn made me cry, that is serene

[@davidhiatt5384]

Yvette you are a rare gem very few artists have taken me on a journey of my own feelings while listening to yours. Amazing!

[@XThunderBoltFilms]

After a bit I decided to just close my eyes and stop watching the video but listen. Genuine goosebumps. I think this composition + animated video would be an amazing thing.

[@Shamino1]

We're hitting Steve Vai levels of grand orchestration.

[@user-os4zq8wi8t]

after listening three songs， I applause really loud in front of my computer first time in my life, thank you really!

[@kmwilde]

[@angellemus1994]

If you’re watching this I love you so much 💖

[@iheartswinub]

I’ve been waiting for this for MONTHS

[@ho11owbone]

really hearing some post rock vibes in this one. also, I love the juxtaposition between the new sparkly green guitar, and the old classical violins.

[@charlywx333]

Orchestra and guitar, like a modern girl and boy skating or even parkour inside a church, elegant and energetic.

[@morimentos]

been my morning tune to jumpstart my mornings. really excited for the studio recording, can't wait!

[@matthodek]

Goodness yes. I love the change in intensity from the full group swaying to one or two parts being passed around. Just astounding work by everyone. Going to the funding page now, because that will sound incredible.

[@alexunagalex]

Very beautiful music! I received emotional pleasure! Thank you! I'm staying! You are all very beautiful! Great! Fabulous! I wish you love and happiness!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@ErikJJJS]

Oh this is so sublime!

[@DawnLevendula]

What a wonderful time to be alive, you make this out to be.

[@baconx6476]

I love this little piece when you first played it on a pedal review, I can't believe you actually made a full song out of it, with an orchestra too. It sounds beautiful, thank you for fleshing out this piece and giving it the attention it deserves.

[@anapostrock]

Absolute magic, I tell you. This brought me to another place and very few things can. Thank you Yvette

[@amyc206]

The music almost starts off like a collab between you and Ali - it’s similar in composition to what I hear in his music. But then builds into something that’s so uniquely you. Spectacular! Goosebumps. ❤

[@Skrillon]

Thank you so very much.

[@joshi_new_wave3283]

This is so perfect.

[@stevenalbertwood9090]

Jimmi Hendrix dreamed of doing this. Been listening to a lot of Olafur Arnalds lately and you just snatched me back with that piece. Love your music so much Yvette and my Granddaughters follow your every move.
