Qigang Chen - Enchantements oubliés (2004)

[@dburt909]

Qigang Chen makes such an excellent use of us Violas. Many Beautiful and exillerating passages written here. Absolutely divine piece of music and orchestration:)).

[@Cmaj7]

This is probably my favorite Qigang Chen piece (except maybe Iris dévoilée). It's so gorgeous and simply happifying, especially 17:38, so I'm glad to finally have a score video for it!

[@dfkfgjfg]

Holy shit as soon as I started my Qigang Chen deep dive and have started learning Er Huang. The most based score video channel as usual 👍

[@StockyScoresRaoraPantheraFC]

It's difficult, isn't it?

[@dfkfgjfg]

@@StockyScoresRaoraPantheraFC it's one of those pieces where only very specific parts are hard, mainly the bit with the staccato leaps in the right hand in the middle but most of the rest of it is actually fine (at least to me)

[@tommyron]

It's like my favorite 4 seconds of Honegger Symphony #4 stretched out to 25 minutes. Absolutely sublime. Thank you for this upload!

[@amj.composer]

Just WOW. I wish my teachers would tell me about orchestral pieces after the 2000s, this is mind blowing.

[@luizcadu]

More than that, I'd like to know more recent orchestral pieces that do not sound like horror movie soundtrack! This is really amazing!

[@Tizohip]

I have some pieces for orchestra

[@bergerecossais]

This is a stunning and truly arresting work - thank you for posting it

[@ericfrederickson2692]

The final passage at 25:30 is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard!

[@isaac_tuba]

Absolutely mind blowing

[@alexchoyce91]

Love the mallet instruments!! This is really refreshing, really great.

[@Darrylizer1]

I know nothing of Qigang Chen's music, but now I want to know more.

[@charles.e.g.]

What a magnificent piece of music. Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤

[@thehiphoporchestraexperience]

Awesome method sampling of Daphnis et Chloé at 13:57.

[@duryi6399]

Really great orchestration, the best piece of this century

[@MicoAquinoComposer]

Gorgeous piece and score!

[@FaziahAddala-jl1ff]

SUBLIME ❤ GRATITUDE MONSIEUR QIGANG CHEN🫶

[@Scriabin_fan]

I haven't listened to his music in a while.

[@carlose.johansson739]

Wonderful music ✨️🎶✨️

[@enragedcrocodile]

You finally did this piece 😍

[@김서준-x8b]

와.... ㅠㅠ👏💝

[@alexchristodoulou]

Exceptional ❤

[@matteomariasalvo8981]

In the bars coming after minute 9 the violins are detachè instead of following the written legature (and sounds very good)

[@Bguitarney]

U write that description up? One my favorite things to do when I’ve got a chance is, well the info and back ground to composer’s and the individual pieces of music and sonic art, so reading those which are sort of hidden and a cool extra, thanks for the passion to care enough to do that and I think you include that on many of nnot all score videos, music. I’ll go further, when I can damn see the line Melodie’s are taken and how many beats a chord or interval get in the mix and seeing such broad and vast means of composition and the music is what it is really, these vivid and textured lush or layers or like janacek, Leos, that’s different how he has his music all work together and such, anyways. Yeah cool!

[@nicholas72611]

Hell yes. Always love Qigang Chen. Do you have any plans on uploading Wu Xing?

[@PM_ME_MESSIAEN_PICS]

it's on bilibili

[@nicholas72611]

@@PM_ME_MESSIAEN_PICS Oh wow thanks man! Last time I checked I couldn't even find a score online

[@Cmaj7]

It is such an amazing little showcase of Chen's orchestral mastery, and I had the great pleasure of hearing it in person, so perhaps, in a little while. Will have to get other things off the to-do list first though (and the billibilli video existing does lower its priority somewhat)

[@nicholas72611]

@@Cmaj7 Wu Xing is also one of my favorites. I've been wanting to study the textures in the Water section particularly for a while now. I'm very excited that there is finally a score video! I haven't heard this particular piece yet but I'm certainly going to listen when I get the chance. Chen never fails to impress

[@user-2ydm9rfrcw]

初めて聞いた感想としては、打楽器とヴァイオリンのための協奏曲、という感じでしょうか。 また、構成もはっきりしていて聞きやすいように感じました。 旋律の音階にも特徴を感じるところが多かったように思います。

[@christopherthorkon3997]

Wow

[@peterjrmoore3941]

incredible ! thanks for this i went to publisher's website. Music only available for rent? It would be great to study the score in depth

[@CharlesZoll]

What an incredible piece! That timpani part is INSANE! Any percussionists out there who can comment? Is the player tuning while playing those runs or am I missing something?

[@Cmaj7]

They are using 5 drums (probably). You can see a performance here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2LCg6hnidCpl6s

[@strm4392]

Daphnis et Chloe vibes

[@MSchultheis]

Some very beautiful impressionistic textures! Maybe it sounds a bit too much like Studio Ghibli or some Zelda game after a while (which is also very nice music, but tends to get generic sometimes).

[@Qazwdx111]

movie music without movie?

[@stephenchen7491]

No, it's serious concert music.

[@Qazwdx111]

@@stephenchen7491 movie music is not serious?

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Definitely at his strongest in slow shimmering passages. Gorgeous. Faster sections seem to struggle to keep my attention... maybe would benefit from some classically trained melodic development and orchestration?

[@meyer_brown]

Large agree from me. The slow passages are so intensely well done that it really makes up for it however. I could listen to the first 5 minutes of this piece for hours.

[@ZewenShifu]

giga based

[@robertkray5815]

In one ear and out the other. Nothing to hang on to. Easily forgettable.

[@XeLYoutube]

thats why its named forgotten enchant :p as easily forgettable as your amazing comment
