The Silkroad Ensemble: Ascending Bird | SILKROAD

[@pathoscatz1]

I don't see many looking at sheet music much, mostly I see them looking at each other. This is beauty

[@nothingnewunderthesun539]

sheet music? ! These musicians are at the tops of their game, I imagine they may only need a few notes for reminders. YoYoMa put pros together

[@dragonfly1929]

The music is coming from their souls ,you do not need sheet music for expressing emotions ,in this beautiful way !!

[@Tobiastoba]

Indeed

[@shatterstar8733]

If I was visited by an alien an asked to show it some of what I consider to be the best and most beautiful parts of humanity, I would simply show him this group of musician's playing ascending bird.....

[@sorooshsmi4344]

The song is originally composed by Kayhan Kalhor and his group with Brooklyn riders from the album Silent City , they are now reperforming it.

[@amostofi1999]

It is composed by Siamak Aghayi (another Iranian musician and a friend of Kalhor), not Kalhor.

[@nothingnewunderthesun539]

Wow, my heart is deeply moved by such beautiful music. This is what different cultures are supposed to share instead of war

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Nothing New Under the Sun, Amen, my brother. We need to see each other as family all living on a little planet, we breathe the same and we bleed the same and we need to understand that

[@nah_cl]

I love so much the fact they smile to each other, like saying "Yeeaaaah"!

[@michaelbrickley2443]

S P, exactly…..and I agree

[@TheRandomAsian711]

Forgive the pun but this music makes my heart soar and it's absolutely beautiful. The pitch bend at 3:05 gives me life and 3:20 is the equivalent to a great bass drop.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

It’s not a pun, often my heart sings and my eyes tear up…this is sheer beauty and majesty

[@splatr1057]

The pitch bend at 3:05 sounds exactly like the THX sound lmao

[@lockdownudein]

More goosebumps than a middle-school library.

[@chrome9303]

hahahaahahaha

[@DUCK-3076]

This made me giggle

[@koronavarro8861]

@@DUCK-3076 Me too!! Incredible!!

[@johnmarion949]

I love this! They all work together , and on a very deep level. Yo Yo Ma is the bomb! He gathered this international group, and made genius music Bless all these very talented people.

[@phlanjo]

BBC radio 3 played this piece today, thanks to the composer(s) and performers, it goes through my ears to my brain and deep into my soul. Stunning

[@gayleoverly7613]

I don’t care who you are. This song is fabulous and it brings me a lot of peace.

[@BarbYoungPPCStrategies]

Symphony NH performed this last night and it was electric!! Just amazing.

[@chilkootsailor492]

I WAS THERE! That was awesome! I thought that the entire concert was incredible, and Ascending Bird now my favorite song. The whole concert was incredible. Symphony NH is underrated. Good to see a fellow New Englander here!

[@BarbYoungPPCStrategies]

@@chilkootsailor492 YES! Symphony NH is packed with talent. No need to drive to Boston!

[@MarioWillems64]

This is not 'notes-playing' , These people bring Music out of the harts and their souls! The Silkroad Ensemble is Fantastic! Thanks for your performances, for bringing these Master Works to the World.

[@CanineCodi]

[@Monissimo]

How was it?

[@dtrix10kc]

Dear sweet baby Jesus.....this is music at it's highest level. A work of art.

[@materialgrl47]

So incredible!! Anyone else hear a bit of Mozart's Confutatis in the strings?

[@andrechiri90]

I just can say : I love it!

[@sgtlamancha805]

I had no idea who Silkroad was until saw a Playing For Change rendition of Peace Train. That led me here. Never heard of this song either. Now I won’t forget either of them.

[@pirasval]

Mükemmel bir performans, duygu dolu...

[@margaretdavis591]

Thank you Raed Albustany for the story behind the lovely music. I was in awe.

[@creativemusicmakingworksho2128]

One of the most elevating works I've ever heard.

[@Worldembracingvision]

I love Henryk Gorecki’s music. Symphony # 3. How sad that it has been taken off this venu... maybe because I played it too may times. The singer.... Dawn Upshaw ... such a beautiful voice.

[@carminativo]

this is pure gold

[@Hadrhune0]

Just my favorite piece of music. So powerful.

[@carolsellers414]

Thrilling, Brilliant, the maximum excellence in art, design, drama, skill, variety, talent , beauty, expertise ever I've experienced! Makes my heart sing and dance and thrill with joy!

[@racalvomd]

Classical, Oriental, Jazz??? Whatever... This is Super Music!!!

[@mohamednaggar8149]

oriental arabic music

[@amostofi1999]

Iranian traditional music. This piece is created by Iranian Santoor player and musician, Siamak Aghaei. I don't think I see him on the stage however. He is one of the best known students of Parviz Meshkatian, a master of Iranian music.

[@saintgarluth]

Sonnati (Persian Folk)

[@kwuntingwoo3972]

Chinese er hu, pi pa; Middle East lyre and harp; western violin... absolutely amazing. the mythology is a Chinese traditional story

[@shayan4533]

The mythology is actually a Persian folk story about the "Simurgh", which is the Persian version of a phoenix.

[@goodpotato5589]

It's a kamancheh, not a chinese er hu, but similar

[@ferryuray738]

very good !!

Cool!

Great!

[@escueladedanzasespecialesf4]

Es demasiado!!!

[@CEMMGTV]

Bravooooo!!!! when in Barcelona???????

[@violaisreallycool]

Very interesting piece. It has an amazing composition and variety of effects that make it truly unique and fun to listen to. But this was the piece that actually caused me to quit my youth orchestra, quite difficult to get a grasp of what you are playing with a huge string orchestra playing this.

[@hadilengabla]
