Suite from The Polar Express - Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard

[@MatthewGhirardi]

Polar Express is worth making it a tradition watching it every December, it’s my favorite Christmas film of all time

[@thehalf-assedapproach]

Same here! Its our family tradition. We watch it for every Christmas. I'm sure we're the one of the handful families that do it in our country..

[@torcuatoz]

I’m from Argentina. Me and my family also enjoy watching it every december. Hope someday you and me watch this orchestra on live together.

[@MemeMakerMaybe]

I watch it every first snowfall with my family, and since we live in Canada we end up watching it in October lol

[@smokeandmirrors909]

Me too! No one in my family or my friends like it tho.. They say it's a boring christmas movie. They dont see the beauty in it.. of true christmas magic

[@Harddav11]

I'm from UK in South wales we do it all time

[@Avienne557]

This is a legendary orchestra. Few have actually played this piece decently, let alone like this

[@raineob4996]

The main theme is one of those songs that make you wonder if Alan Silvestri secretly hated the orchestra when he was writing it.

[@MartinRuferOfficial]

Here I am, crying my eyes out in my room - and the audience is sitting there like dead

[@Nasuto1702]

Listening this in bed, on christmas eve: GOOSEBUMPS

[@Alpha555]

I respect the audience for being composed and didn’t interrupt the band. But if i would’ve been there as an audience, would have gleefully cheered and roared! Just got goosebumps and the band deserves a rousing standing ovation 🎄🤟🤟

[@MaksKCS]

"the band"...

[@mspprettygirl0167]

They sounded so perfessional 😍

[@Nutt_lemmings]

Lolz this is the easiest song to play this song is better with just violins,viola, cello, base and piano

[@MegaChorro123]

Lemmings-Gaming Mehh idk. This piece can be quite challenging especially with the super fast tempo it has throughout the piece.

[@Nutt_lemmings]

MegaChorro123 ....sir this song is easier to play than gargoyles or fable.... I mean maybe my part six just easier cuz violas don't usually get the exciting parts but ehh

[@alessandrachavez7259]

Pure goosebumps 🥹 my grandpa, who is now resting in peace, made the tradition with my dad and uncles and aunts, to watch The Polar Express every Christmas Day, and my dad has now passed it down to my sister and I and every time I hear this beautiful orchestra or watch the movie, it makes me cry and takes me back to when I was little and watched the movie with my parents and sister drinking some hot coco 🥺💙

[@lindan779]

Omggggggg!!!!! The best i have ever heard!!! My skin had goosebumps from the emotion I was feeling hearing this outstanding orchestra!!!!!!!

[@Asrith37]

It makes me remember my sweet memories

[@mackenziekerby2148]

I was 7 when this movie came out and I watched it theaters and watched it every Christmas since then. My favorite Christmas movie of all time.

[@nexftw6959]

Watching it in theaters must have been a truely special experience.

[@Apocositilin__01]

Por que cada que escucho este tema se me hace un nudo en la garganta? Lpm ya se porque quiero volver a ser chiquita y creer en esa magia que tenia 😭😭😓

[@thedecosound]

Fantastic job! Beautiful! The choir gave me goosebumps!

[@-PesoPluma]

We were going to play this in my school tomorrow like orchestra, band and choir are playing together

[@Zadira14]

Do you have a video ?

[@annetalazaraki8952]

sweet memories of the past. every time the faint, i find myself listening to this song!

[@gregorycook3550]

Greatness. It might only be November at the moment, but this makes me feel like it's closer than ever to Christmas.

[@toddsimpson9164]

It's on tonight on AMC!

[@lindanava9757]

Omg!! Gave me chills!!! Beautiful

[@mhf9437]

Brings back my childhood memories 💔😭😢

[@ryant7865]

That sounded so beautiful, doesn’t it

[@happierabroad]

I saw this movie in Russia in 2004 when it first came out. The theme reflected the magical wonderland vibe that I felt in Russia, where my dating and social life were a million times better than in America!

[@torcuatoz]

Incredible perfomance. I would love to watch it on live

[@BritishMiscellanyYT]

Definitely one of the best pieces of Christmas music out there alongside the rest of the score. Alan did a cracking job with writing it!

[@thiagohavoc]

everyone who participated in this has reached legendary status

[@MimMdance]

So beautiful! I wish I could see this played live. Merry Christmas by the way! :)

[@AlvaroCC-qq3uz]

How beautiful we can go on the polar express to the north pole to see Santa claus😍🌲

[@Bj-gs1yd]

THIS IS AMAZING!

[@jackgoodall3047]

stunning. ive got goosebumps

[@thealmightydoge5653]

The fact that christmas is closer than we thought makes me emotionally happy when I'm listening to this

[@marktretter2704]

Great music to accompany a fantastic movie !🎶

[@alpha_jasperflair1097]

I cry every time i listen to this over and over

[@knightofsg]

Amazing! Awesome! So damn perfect! Well done to the conductor and the whole of the orchestra! 👍

[@geminicris4586]

I love this movie so much. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@williamsmith4414]

Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard are geniuses.

[@reedrickard8844]

The sleigh bells during the second piece had difficulty staying on the upbeat of the rhythm

[@brisaamarilla2466]

I agree Completely

[@timmaher1167]

This is amazing, but I will say the second sound sounded a bit fast. But still amazing.

[@matthewhamlin7241]

Tim Maher it's a tempo change

[@Avienne557]

It's supposed to be insanely fast, checkout the polar express suite form the polar express soundtrack and you'll see

[@jocelynnrodriguez267]

It’s the conductors choice as to how fast he would like to take the piece. They have a suggested tempo written on the score but it does not mean the conductor has to stick with it

[@williambrooks9116]

Best movie

[@godietistabau6436]

Esta música alegra mi vida y mi corazón ❤

[@tauntes]

[@EricPeelMusic]

Very well performed!

[@ocalawing]

Love the way they turn next pages while there playing

[@shanechurchill4203]

Does anyone know where to find the choral part for this arrangement? Our city's professional symphony orchestra has asked my choir to sing this with them, but only has the orchestral parts available. Every site I have found that sells this specific arrangement doesn't even have the choir part in the conductor's score. Help?!?!

[@morikanteyekeyeke6147]

The fast piece falls apart after 1:52, very sad, Beacause they started so good in fast pace. Overall they play it to to lovely, like a Sissy or Poppins movie. But it needs more contrast, more fury. Listen to the original ! At 5:20 they Suddenly get it back, thanks to the choire.

[@jocelynnrodriguez267]

In my opinion they stay together for the whole piece. The fast section is very tight and they did it very well. It’s a symphony their goal is to perfect it not make it sound “fury”. No offense but you need to educate yourself a little more on symphony’s and professional musicians.

[@Dsheppp]

It did come apart a little bit at 1:52 but it came back quickly.
