THE SIMPSONS by Danny Elfman [Hollywood in Vienna 2017]

[@eresunmilagro]

Pocos se percatan que esta pieza es un plagio con relleno y variaciones hábiles de la obra maestra para la el filme, volver al futuro, del genio Allan a Silvestri. Elfman, por supuesto, también tiene su mérito como los mejores de los 80, pero no en esta pieza.

[@josebalbuena5328]

Danny Elfman is a legend, not only composed one of my favorite tv shows. He composed one of my favorite movies of all time ” Spider-Man”. I surely think both titles wouldn't be the same without his work.

[@jefflindeman]

Not to mention THEE Most icon theme of it’s genre, Batman, as well as all of Tim Burton’s films, etc.

[@Weeping-Angel]

One of my personal favorites is _Wonka’s Welcome Song_ I might actually be addicted to that song.

[@alcovitch]

To think that he wrote this in his head on his drive home after seeing a pencil sketch of the opening and wrote the whole thing in a day.

[@盧長劍]

Are you sure he wrote the whole thing in his head? That's not usually how composing works.

[@finnrummygaming]

[@hemiolaguy]

@@盧長劍 Different composers write in different ways. Some compose "In their heads" without touching a keyboard, and some write at the piano. Makes no difference, as long as the end result is good music.

This is interesting, we are used to hear this theme as a custom but few really appreciate this is actually a masterpiece on a performance

[@millenniumf1138]

Watching this performed live at a slower tempo than the recording used in the show really demonstrates how difficult it is to play music in this style with rapid arpeggios and scales. Your fingers would be on fire afterward!

[@RadagonTheRed]

Loved the sax solo.

[@dontreehardy5280]

I guess that's in a reference to Lisa Simpson.

[@BestNameCouldThinkOf]

It's the bit in the titles where Mr largo kicks Lisa out and she plays as she leaves

[@sebastianjungclaus4775]

The Best live Konzert from the simpsons music.😍😘

[@jmaxg]

Lawyer: "Well, what about that tattoo on your chest. Doesn't it say 'Die Bart, Die'?" Sideshow Bob: "No! That's German for 'The Bart, the'." ~gentle chuckles from the courtroom observers~ But seriously folks, this has to be perhaps the greatest musical TV theme ever written. Its whimsy is only matched by its sense of bland suburbia with a hint of cheekiness (obviously Bart) added. I have heard many attempts over the years to capture this live. This one is the best so far even if the timing is just a tad slow.

[@onyx6638]

[@cryptoencryption8563]

Amazing magnificent the way it can be played is so diverse. I just love Simpsons intro theme song it is one of the best cartoon intro songs in history plain and simple. I wonder do they have the same Orchestra players when they restructure the sound of the song.

[@bboystance22]

That was cool!

[@Be-BopNo.5]

Just wonderful! It's a very difficult piece to play. I wish they'd shown the percussion section since there's so much going on there. It bothered me a tiny bit that the audience gave out with what seemed to me to be somewhat unenthusiastic applause, like they couldn't really take "cartoon" music very seriously. They should check out Carl Stalling's music.😀

[@kairozartstudio]

They gotta feel a little silly playing this but it is fantastic!

[@vincedelord8536]

Kairozart not at all !!! This was composed by Mr danny elfman the composer of the first spiderman, beetlejuice , charlie and the chocolate factory , avengers : age of ultron and many more.....

[@sandramc9903]

i dont think silly is the word, i think they feel like kids, they are enjoying it

[@kairozartstudio]

Maybe silly is not the right word. Whimsical, child-like. I'm familiar with Danny Elfman and his music going back to his Oingo Boingo days. He is an iconic composer/musician. The music is silly but it fits the context of the show. Doesn't mean it's bad, in fact, the opposite. It brilliantly captures the essence of the Simpsons, which is silly, comical. That's all that was meant.

[@chassiebazz92]

This is the opposite of silly.. it's fun and a very difficult piece, I play an instrument and the past I'd have to play, I don't think I could really do it unless I practiced that like 5 hours a day at least. If I could play that sing half as good as this I'd be proud. But once achieved I can tell it would be one of my favorites to play. It sounds amazing it's lighthearted innocent yet naughty and cheerful
