Amazing ❤️ 👏

Awesome

Beautiful music! Enjoyed listening!

I am truly grateful to Maestro Will White and the wonderful musicians of the Seattle Harmonia Orchestra for taking time from their busy schedules to grant me this "reading" opportunity. I wrote the Sacred Symphony years ago when I was in Graduate School. But this is my first time hearing it too. Viewers must keep in mind it is just a "reading" and still requires much editing to reach premiere performance quality. This is the very early but vital stages of bringing a symphony to life. It reveals where one can improve upon the orchestration quality. Until then, thank you for your curiosity. My source of inspiration is to glorify God, the creator of all things. Thank you, D. Bedwell

Very smooth and peacefull. Well done indeed.

But the audience didnt have me!! it couldnt have been amazing!! I wasnt there!!!

Muito Bom !!

Me emocionó y siento tsnta inspiración como el ditector ❤

What a bittersweet Surprise to come across this performance of the Monteverdi vespers, on my top five list of favorite works, conducted by George Shangrow. I had the honor of singing the Evangelist in one of George's St John Passions in the mid-1980s, and his tragic death in 2010 was a major loss for Seattle - and for me. George was quite a character, but he was extremely intelligent and sensitive - and made beautiful music.

Beethoven 🍀 , 5 nci Senfoni 1976 da modernize edilmisti ! Unutuldu !! 🇺🇸🍀☀️🎶

I have listened to the entire symphony twice. The last two movements 3 times. The first movement is quite well-structured, with strong content and emotional depth. The scherzo relies on repetition; very attractive material and catchy pulsing rhythms might have been developed a bit more rigorously, considering it is the symphony's only up-tempo movement between two large scale slow movements. The finale starts quite well with a very mysterious sounding motif that is then more extensively developed. It feels early on that some kind of tension is building instead the tension dies and only very gradually (at around 5 minutes) do we come to the movement's only real climax, and it doesn't project a very powerful musical statement or thematic revelation. It's one reason the last movement's structure isn't very convincing, certainly lacking the tension of the 1st movement. Lovely in parts, but underwhelming for a symphonic finale. Overall, there is a distinctive and consistent sound harmonically throughout, and the expression is honest and direct...but it doesn't take us any place we haven't been before. And there is a curious insistence on lower brass sonorities...which rather than being rich or ominous (certainly not with these gentle moods) it creates a dull muffled sound, when this string-heavy sound world could have used a dash of brightness.

When the conductor decides it's time to incorporate interpretive dance.ĺ

This is a beautiful piece! Very well composed and orchestrated. Congratulations!

That conductor was LIT!

Wonderful! This was inspirational to me in Bandarawela, Sri Lanka. I know little of music, so I shall write only about the effect the music has on me, on the 28th of October 2023. Beethoven was no scholar of History or of politics. But the deaf man who wrote all this music knew enough about how we had to stand up to the tyranny that we see all about us. This music will be immortal so long as there are humans to hear it. What more could Beethoven have done than create music which would inspire his fellow humans. I don't know German, but fifty-five years ago I had memorised all of an English translation of the words. Details get forgotten now; I can't remember whether if was the entirety of the Schiller Ode that he set to music, or even whether he decided to respectfully change some of the words. I'm sure that the great man knew what he wanted to say, and this orchestra, conductor and singers seemed to deliver this so well that I shall listen again after thanking all involved for this wonderful experience.

That jump the conductor did at the last😅😂

Damn that conductor is really getting into it!

Can you imagine the Beethoven's audience? When men of power they were all like Putin seeking for enemies to fight against, selfish, arrogant and posessive, building up another war for a ridiculous piece of land, for screwing another's property only because a rival in business, screwing the vulnerable ones fortune because they had the army to do whatever they wanted. Such compositions are the maximum emotional impact indeed, stay home make love and have sons instead of sending young boys on the battle field to murder other young soldiers for a matter of...war affairs. Yeah, we never learn. Now we have to deal with other kind of men of power, burning fuels until we burn out the planet is the biggest priority, then let's try to imagine the alternative. Mississippi Rivers worths gold as navigation water way, why not using it to create other water ways now that old American Routes are abbandoned? They can work like water canals as well as aerial bridges, we ask for Chinese investments, they can do every infrastructure we could dream about. Did you ever noticed Colorado River horse shoe gorgeous landscape ? Mother Earth's giving us the best inspirations above all, every canyon can have a U-turn, mostly out there in the desert bringing down the killer heat...do you want to see that we can break the tornados lane? Giving them a ditch where to die... yeah, dreaming of Beethoven's dreams... looking forward for the next rollercoaster aerial cycling lane as well, let's enjoy pushing pedals now that e-bikes are a..must have. They are rather expensive, they deserve their own circulation area as well, a lot of people might give up using cars, what an Ode To Joy should be friends

Movement Three is the most emotional, Beethoven was losing his ears turning deaf, he tried to imagine the music rather than hearing it, but he wanted to have FAITH that music will survive him and ...if artists should not have this healthy altruism, doing things for the audience more than themselves you see, here is the best recipe to become immortal, beyond a poor pathetic human narrow limit to break through, we have to learn so much from such beautiful monsters, including the conscience about our human limits, health is so precious, we have to take care of it, no genius guy is out of this issue, no miracle could ever save anyone if not ourselves

Climate change is messing up our lives, can you imagine Beethoven losing his minds of anger? Wish you ask the anti fire disasters ditches from now on, every ranch or property must look like a French castle surrounded by water canals, natural barriers against fire spreading, we have to save the rain water for the dry season and farmers safety, the lands must be raised up at least of ...two feet from the ground and save them from floods threats, this way of dying slowly due to weather gone insane makes me feel like... getting mad like hell guys, ask them people there in your audience if they are sick and tired of this climate change issue or not. We have all technologies skills, tools, knowledge and equipments to fight back the global warming, we cool down the burning atmosphere before the tornados come to fix the planet's thirst, think about it guys, let's just do what Beethoven ever dreamt to do... having this composition in his minds, well, sounds like the end of the war, when they all become friends and celebrate the joy of life

Remarcable performance indeed, we have the scientific evidences by now friends, how music is regenerating, mostly classical one because so romantic, a true healing potion, very good interpretation indeed, you deserve to be rewarded guys, just like home in Seattle. You know, there are individuals that change our lives for good, one of them was Walt Disney, my very first English teacher but classical music teacher as well, once you have funny animals, cartoons & music...no evil could ever touch you. Since l was five years or so... anything for me becomes a Disneyland entertainment park, do you agree that Beethoven deserves to have his Disneyland in Seattle? He is a world wide super star, l do not mind if you invite all his ... siblings in Bonn and fans in Germany becoming partners in business, Mozart has his own chocolate candies Made in Salzburg, let's imagine Beethoven in Seattle kind of chocolate candies.. then cartoons video games based on his spectacular music, well, Beethoven was always inspired to natural beauties, this should look like tree leafs struggles dealing with the next hurricane threat. Then you need to dig out the Beethoven champagne 🥂🍾 as well, a whole Disneyland friends... because we are like home in Seattle

I will never forget this concert, it was on a sunny day in Seattle and the conductor urged the audience to not applaud, no matter how you feel during the movements, please do not applaud. It was very difficult for people to do, you could feel the tension in the hall. Just a wonderful thing.. Harmonia, please put up last years Messiah concert!

So glad you released this, I was there and had no idea what it was and it impressed me greatly. Everybody was there for Beethoven''s 9th but this was a fantastic opening.

This song is so awesome!

Delightful. Thanks for sharing.

00:00 I. Allegro moderato 16:26 II. Andante con moto Absolutely beautiful !

What beautiful voices, and I’m liking the slower tempo. 💕

Why so slow?

Mozart was a real genius !

It's very good to see a North American orchestra playing Parry. Greatly underestimated in his home country, he is known almost solely for his hymn 'Jersulaem' to words by William Blake.

wrong melody, he should have listened to the song first

So cool!!!! You are so creative!!!

I'm so excited about the work you are doing. You should be very proud. This is amazing! I need to visit Seattle soon!!!

Excellent introductory presentation to what sounds like a fascinating season.

Excellent introductory presentation to what sounds like a fascinating season.

Amazing program, can’t wait for it to start. Thank you for bringing the gift of music to all of us . Cordula

Excellent presentation, Will. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the 2022-23 season and look forward to ALL the concerts.

Note that this video contains two factual errors: 1) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died at the age of 35 (not 36) and 2) our second concert will take place on Saturday, November 12 (not November 11.) These mistakes were included in the video for the same reason that imperfections are sewn into the fabric of a Persian rug: so that it would not offend the gods by its perfection.

Just amazing, considering the circumstances. And Maestro White in shades!

yes, it is about a sailor telling a swallow to greet his old folks at home...In Sweden

I have season ticket (for about 10 years) but couldn’t be there due to vaccine mandate and couldn’t watch live due to a birthday party. Good to be able to watch now.

Beautiful! Thank you for posting.

The perfect soundtrack for Christmas morning 😉
