10 SUPER FAMOUS BEST CELLO MUSIC - Can You Name the Cello Songs?

💜🌟Learn about the Cello Mastery Academy here: www.wendylaw.com/links Please consider supporting this channel by becoming a Patron on Patreon.com/WendyLaw LOOK DOWN BELOW FOR HINTS: 00:46 No. 1 This is one of the most popular wedding songs of all times. It has an incredibly boring cello line because it repeats over and over again for the entire song. However, everyone still lives it. But not so much for the cellist. 1:22 No. 2 This English concerto was made famous by the famous cellist Jacqueline du Pre 2:01 No. 3 This piece has the name of an animal and is part of the Carnival of Animals. Fun fact: I performed this piece with the New York Philharmonic when I was at Juilliard. 2:44 No. 4 This is arguably one of the most famous cello concerto of all times. All cellists have to learn it and it's often used for auditions. It is technically not easy! 3:30 No. 5 This piece was originally for voice and piano. While this was not originally written for the cello, many cellists have played it and continue to play it. They say that the cello resembles the human voice , and I think in this case, it suits the cello perfectly. 4:05 No. 6 This has to be the most famous TV Show Tune in the world. And it's written for cello and orchestra! Let's just say that many of us did not like the last season of the show including yours truly! 5:05 No. 7 This piece of chamber music was written for a string quartet PLUS a cello! So you have two cellos in the ensemble or also known as a cello quintet! Fun fact: I performed this piece with Yo Yo Ma! 5:51 No. 8 This sonata for cello and piano is rich and beautiful. It explores the full range of the cello. It starts from the lower strings and climb to the top, filled with intensity and emotions. 6:55 No. 9 This has to be THE MOST famous cello solo piece out there. Every cellist plays it and I have played it many times on this channel. 7:50 No. 10 This piece is written for cello and orchestra. Many people of Jewish heritage would know this tune because the tune is sung during Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish people. Still can't figure out the most famous cello songs? Watch til the end or look way down below for answers!

Even though I am mostly a Heavy rock kinda Kid, I do adore the Cello in all its way because of the beautiful and strong resonations it has^^

[@adaxdelta8593]

What I like about playing: you let the sound to develop fully..In my non proffesional opinion lot of artists, are focused on fast and technical playing and some of the sounds are "hidden" between the major tones. I like to hear all of them!

[@dawnpoint]

Let’s hear the entire Dvorak! Exciting interpretation!

It's Bachs Cello Suite No.1 in G ;)

[@Katie-zx3vu]

This is off topic but your makeup is also applied masterfully. I bet you’d be fantastic in concert. I don’t know why, but the cello always makes me cry; it’s so transformative, maybe it’s just me!

[@michelesab6789]

You are truly magnificent. Hearing you play gives me goosebumps. All the music is good, but I have a preference for the 3rd and 9th. Congratulations to you for your know-how after all these years of practice. Bravo!👏👏👏👏🤗🥰🇨🇦

[@buddylove3640]

# 2. I was an interplay of two lovers, that seemed to be separated not by choice. The tension and release. Their fighting to embrace each other. Love between a man and a woman. Your dynamic, a whisper to s roar. You're touch, passion and body movement. Your are one with the cello.

[@malloryyoung2310]

I ❤️ the Brahms. Please play the whole thing🙏

[@WendyLaw]

Hopefully soon in the future when the pandemic is over. This is not a piece that I can play virtually with somebody...

[@eddygonzalez6018]

I can't believe I got all of them, but Game of Thrones 😆 Wonderfully played. Love the cello. Such a versatile instrument with an amazing range. I love those triple stops anchored with an open string.

[@Got2Bespoke]

I love film scores and it would be amazing to hear you play some of Seven Years in Tibet. Yo-Yo Ma's work with John Williams was really enthralling.

I would have thought number 9 would have been number 1, but what do I know ... all played beautifully well done Wendy 😀

[@fly4doe2]

I don't think the list was in any particular order. If it were, then, in true showmanship style we would open with number 10 and count down to number one. That kept Casey Kasem in business for 25 years. No band opens with their encore!

[@jiriza84641]

loved cello music for a long time, but too macho to admit it until I got older. I love the melancholy sound.

liking the cello is the most macho thing in the world!!! It speaks human expression.

I should know, I've played this part...it's the one with 2 cello parts 8: I have no clue... I'm sad about this actually because I've played this before...WAIT Lalo?????

I came on here because my tinnitus was bugging me and after listening to songs from Wendy Law's KZbin channel it's totally calmed it down. So beautiful. Such talent. From heaven for sure, God bless.

[@Razaki3D]

Bach suite No. 1 is the only title I knew coz I'd watched a cello tutorial on KZbin recently. As for the most famous wedding song, I just know it to be that, never knew the title and I'll probably forget it as fast as I learnt it lol. I love your cello skills.

finally have played all of them now that ive played schubert quintet (only 1st and 4th mvts tho)

[@Justwantahover]

I can't believe how good your cello sounds through my home built speakers. With my speakers the texture and the tone comes from the same point. And the vowels and consonants of the voice sound come from the same point. That is unlike most speakers where the vowels and consonant come from a foot apart. Vowels come from the woofer and consonants come from the tweeter. But my speakers have drivers that handle medrange and treble with the one driver (and only the bass is separated with an extra woofer). The treble and med (or texture and tone) coming from the same point gives way better image of the instrument and more 3D and holographic and sounds like your cello is in my room. KEF make speakers like that called Uni Q. Fostex and Feastrex and Lowther and a fair few others also make speakers like that. One driver or coaxial drivers have more cohesion than separate woofers and tweeters (like most speakers are) which sound "flat" and "lifeless" compared to point source speakers.

Ive been taking a cello class for 3 months so i dont know much but, the faces people make and you make while playing is because playing them hurt or is it to match the mood of song?
