pt i: love and hold nothing back

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@ramy4496]

the conductor looks like he's having a blast

[@WetSealTV-eo7bv]

I have like your guitar playing a long time but with the strings here it sounds very thin and twangy also missing the tapping. It's also too low in volume. It sounds like it was played as a solo guitar piece and then the strings are built on top. Your playing gets buried underneath the thicker bassier woodier sound of the strings. Maybe a Fender VI or hollow body would work here or that Boss box that makes one sound like an acoustic. would work here What you need to do in my opinion is you could start the writing based off of a guitar piece but once there is a string arrangement like that it replaces what you did. Then the things to do is write a new guitar part that is on top of that not doing the same thing but doing something more different to cut through it. They are taking care of the arpeggios. Something that would stand out over that is longer notes or faster notes or both, maybe in a polyrhythm. A new melody on top of that, to cut through.

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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! ❤

[@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.

[@jasontodd518]

I just had a panic attack, this was good, I am back on earth again, thank you young, as always, stay never-endingly inspiring.

[@Earsludge]

I've been a fan of Yvette's since I was 15 years old, something about the way she strums a guitar just makes you feel like you're in stardew valley ✨

[@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.

[@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

[@iheartswinub]

I’ve been waiting for this for MONTHS

[@angellemus1994]

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

[@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.

[@jhaucktattoos]

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

[@brandonlincolnsnyder]

yess stoked to see the performance uploaded!

[@felipegomabrockmann2740]

[@rocknreplay]

🤯🤩 So serene, gorgeous playing. Neat looking guitar too.

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@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!

[@fdleothelionkid6176]

Breathtaking

[@MetalHendrix.]

Beautiful Performance🥲Thank You.

[@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.

[@yamal2068]

The composition is an enchantment and the conductor is a magician. Amazing Yvette!

[@jcodg4428]

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

[@BrettFairchild]

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

[@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!

[@mierardi88]

I hope I can catch the next live performance in person!

[@FinnJaymz]

This is breathtaking. 🎻🎻

[@kirkroth3505]

[@palevampire323]

I can't get enough of Yvette. keeps blowing me away

[@hankhillsdisappointedsigh]

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

[@Skrillon]

Thank you so very much.

[@ChiEnLeeMusic]

Wow. Just... Wow.

[@JohnConstantine646]

Absolutely stunning composition and so rich and full of emotion. Would love to hear more of this sort of thing.

[@anggitsulaeman6087]

so peaceful 😢❤i love you so much from Indonesia

[@coffeedudeguy]

No music sheet? What a showoff XD jk The Vox and the YY10 really sits well in the mix in that chamber, and what a moving and cinematic composition! Can’t wait to see the next few

[@PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

Ty for making this, a good time for ears, brain and soul. Peace

[@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.

[@stoner36s]

Beautiful and moving. This from an extreme metal head. Fantastic!

[@No-Kung-Fu]

Wow...how can you NOT donate after hearing this? This is amazing. You're amazing Yvette!

[@LordWildWolf]

Wow. Just wow. That was just delightful...

[@kevinmccullough1903]

I'm not crying you are... 😢😅 This is amazing, beautiful, so full of life and soul I'm glad I came here.

[@anapostrock]

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

[@thewillformerlyknownasartist]

the conductor was FEELIN it

[@DawnLevendula]

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

[@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.

[@seanyp8270]

Just what I needed to start the weekend! 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. ❤

[@iancbouras]

Beautiful compositions!

[@kmwilde]

Right on the edge of tears after this. Oh my.

[@tkri]

Some of the crunchiest cellos I’ve ever heard and I mean that in the best way possible. That was awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@guidoblockluger64]

Beautiful

[@Shamino1]

We're hitting Steve Vai levels of grand orchestration.

[@Theinvalidmusic]

Absolutely gobsmacking. Goosebumps for days.

[@Harrison_801]

This is so sick

[@jeffs7066]

great piece! Very Peaceful, looking forwards to pt 2 and 3

[@Ontariosound]

Beautiful. Thank You.

[@drumttocs8]

Beautiful piece, but also- I want whatever the conductor's having!

[@bootesvoidsound]

WOW - beautiful - made my list of best songs I found this year!

[@markshveima]

This is drop dead gorgeous! A beautiful musical story that flows and soars. I was carried along by each note. My heart is so happy right now. Thank You. ☺️💛

[@johnproffitt9786]

absolutely stunning.

[@djbretnr]

What beautiful music! Incredible orchestration!

[@captainzero119]

damn made me cry, that is serene

[@bradhexumOSM]

Another gorgeous piece. I feel the feels of your acoustic EP & a map a string a light. I feel happy you are creating and sharing your light with the world.

[@mindbloommusic]

Absolutely stunning piece of art I’ve always cherished your music please keep doing amazing things.

[@RobertLupcho4179]

I loved it, and I held nothing back(tears). It was extremely joyful!

[@jd6688]

Can’t wait for Embrace Your Power!! So far my favorite piece of the Next Fest story pieces you wrote! Keep it up Yvette! Can’t wait for a new album! You were also my #1 Artist on Spotify Wrap Up lol

[@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.

[@danielbezerra2835]

Incredible arrangement! I started floating after the 2 minute mark! Thanks Yvette

[@transparent1054]

Such a beautiful arrangement Yvette. Love your work!

[@erin6207]

Amazing, stunning, incredible.

[@helloitsnicko]

That was really beautiful. The title represents how the piece feels/sounds for sure. I really felt it. Had a lump in my throat from when the cellos came in. Also as a sidenote, for fun I often think about collaborations between artists that I think would work really well; I've legitimately pictured you working with Bon Iver (well Justin Vernon) and SIgur Rós, and this sounds kind of in the ballpark of what I'd imagined! I'll be coming back to this video a lot (and probably the other two once they're out). I hope you reach your funding goal to have this recorded and released cos this is just stunning. Ps. I love your sparkly green guitar amongst all the mahogany lookin ahh string section lmao.

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

That would be such a dreammm

[@wrngsurgeon]

so awesome

[@Bruh-zi7le]

need this one on spotify ASAP

[@ja5304]

You’re awesome Yvette ❤

[@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.

[@yvetteyoungmusic]

Big Olafur fan so that means a ton 🥰

[@dougc84]

your composition skills have gone from good to stellar. this is amazing and i’m excited to hear more! great job!

[@trains4nothng]

tears, its just so good.

[@davidguthriemusic]

this was spell-binding, wow. Beautiful synergy with everyone and such a unique combination of classical and contemporary influences!

[@blackframes8765]

masterpiece! Love every bits of it Yvette!

[@magiccouponsREAL]

Absolutely love this. YES YVETTE! You're absolutely killing it!

[@theshapeexists]

This kicks ass

[@KmtS9]

tears...

[@templarjay]

Beautiful. A great piece!

[@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.
