Eileen Pasillas I don't always have time to practice so I listen to this while I am doing my other tasks. Also I could tell you were joking because there is not 40 hours in a day. There is 24.
bro i feel that...im supposed to be practicing the viola part to this and i was curious to what the whole thing actually sounded like and im in total awe of how horrible my school orchestra is lmao
So I'm going to get a viola soon do any of you fellow viola players have any suggestions on pieces I could purchase? Or any composer you could recommend?
0:34 as a viola i felt so special when we got this part because the violins always get all the attention and get all the solos on most of the songs we played. Violas are seriously underrated
As a cello player, I completely agree and also cellos are very underrated as well, I've told my friends I play cello, they say, "you mean a bass?" Or "what's a cello?" And it really gets on my nerves lol
Svt IcyAir great point, you know what I wish Richard Meyer did at the end of this piece, since this is the dragon hunter, he should have made the last note, a powerful long note, with a giant crescendo.
My class played this in sixth grade. Now it’s a sixth grade tradition because every year my class asked the teacher if the sixth graders were playing it. Years later most of my orchestra class can still play the majority of it from memory. This song is a legend
I’ve been playing violin for 8 years and I remember this was the first full length song I ever played as a little 2nd grader. I’ve been biased toward it as one of my favorite songs of all time and still have it memorized.
I WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES!!!!! my friends were holding my mouth at school so I would stop whistling it but I still did it (I play cello) I recomend doing orchastra so you can learn this song
This is definitely the piece of music that make a orchestra player truly part of and orchestra. It is a right of passage, and I know no one who hasn’t played this song at some point. It was the first real piece I learnt, and still one of my favorite to this day.
It seems that at the end of the song the knight fails to kill the dragon and gets killed by it or the dragon was defeated and was killed by the knight. 🐉
FURIOUS GAMER that’s how the song wants you to think. My orchestra teacher told us that the song is about a knight trying to hunt down a dragon, and in the end, you decide either the knight dies or the dragon dies
To me it sounds like both of them killed eachh other because it goes from the cello[dragon] to the violins[knight] playing[fighting] back and forth until they both play together and stop together[death] sorry if your a bass or viola i dont know theyre parts ima cello
i love how everyone here talks about how they played this song when they were younger, I'm going back to it now and remembering when we played it in 1.75 speed (I recommend it a lot) it was one of those moments of joy when you get every note right, and the orchestra is following you with the outstanding sound with this speed, I play bass by the way :) It's the spark of knowing it sounds right.
everyone in my orchestra except the cellos are terrible. I'm a cello. The reason we are best is due to practice and experience. The other instruments mainly have new players. The front 2 violin 1's are pretty good, and decently loud, while the other 4 are all new and are bad and quiet. Violin 2's are just trash at it, and the violas are voted second best players due to the 2 (there are only 2) of them playing for at least a year. And our only bass is completely new and is not very good at it
I remember playing this in middle school. I can still play it by heart! As simple as it is, I enjoy it very much and Dragonhunter will forever have a special place in my little musical heart.
Playing this song since 4th grade and I use it as my warm up. What my orchestra teacher always said to keep us in the beat was the" cellos and violins are having a conversation, so just keep the conversation going guys"...ahhhhhh I want to go back to 4th grade😫😂😅
Gotta thank songs like this, Gargoyles, and many others for practically training my hand to play. Now I play bass guitar and it felt right just right off the bat. Played cello not bass. Well, yes I played bass for a year but cello for three. Good days...
I played this song in 8th grade, (I played Bass), this is one of my favorite pieces ever, I dropped orchestra after 8th grade but this song brings back so many memories
After four years of viola playing, this song is still the most vivid in my head. Everytime I hear it my fingers automatically start going up and down to play each note. Thank you for posting this
My orchestra's been playing this lately, and as the pianist I need to touch up on my bass clef, but I feel like it helps to hear the song over and over. Thanks mate!
God, I was rummaging through my old sheet music and found this, of course I played it, and I remember exactly how it felt to play this in 7th grade, I play the cello. It brings back so much mastalgia.
When I was in 2nd grade (I'm in fifth now) an orchestra came to our school and played it for us. *flashbacks* it brings me twenty gallons of joy when I found this.
I had a concert last night, I play viola. We were thrown behind because of covid when I was in 6th grade, it’s my 8th grade year now and we did really well >:)
It makes me so happy to see all these people that are playing and loving this piece even after 7-8 years. I played it early 2018 and it was a blast. Such good memories
Bruh, I finally found it, this is a true master piece, I remember playing it when I was in fifth grade, I love this song, it's awesome and I sound very good playing it
The final concert of 6th grade what an amazing time I'm an eighth grade tech student now since my new school doesn't have orchestra I'ma miss the program
I have to play this on my cello and I'm bad at it also the cellos don't get a part so we're just in the background while the violins and violas get to be in the spot light
Mettaton Lover I'm sure you will be just fine if you practice and that's only for songs. There many songs that cello, basses, and violas get the spotlight. (I'm a violinist)
Nahhhh, what are you saying. Trust me, the cellos are awesome in this song. After all practice makes perfect. Once you get that, it be YOU in the spotlight.
im going to be honest here, cellos are a support part, its what you signed up for. yes, there will be songs where you are the melody (and they are awesome) but those songs aren't common in public school orchestras
So I started viola last year (my entire class was beginner orchestra), and we got 1st place in our competition against every school in the district, along with some outside of the district. Playing mainly against high schoolers. I can’t tell you how proud of myself/my classmates I was
I’m a quadruplet and I have a sister that is not a quadruplet. We have 5 kids in our family. 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, and 1 bass. We play this songs together all the time. This is our favorite. My mom is a conductor and my dad takes videos of us for fun.
I used to play the cello and this was my favorite songs but I switched to the flute and I found out that I can play my old cello part really close to the original on flute and I’ll be honest it’s the happiest I’ve been in band
I finally found a video of dragonhunter with decent audio
hi
i ship ? Right? My orchestra plays this horribly! I'm trying to see how it actually sounds because I haven't heard it in a while
AkwadGaming YT I meant it's the only audio on youtube I could find that isn't crappy
has it now?
spahgetttigod......
Spahgetti wow people can't decipher words lol
* flashbacks of when I learned this in the beginning of 6th grade*
Max Ashenbrenner
😁
Im played it in 5th
I am in 6th grade and we are learning it and I am having some difficulty reading the notes so I listen to it in my free time
Golden unicorn
Good strategy
Eileen Pasillas I don't always have time to practice so I listen to this while I am doing my other tasks. Also I could tell you were joking because there is not 40 hours in a day. There is 24.
*plays for 5 minutes*
* violin part stuck in head for eternity*
It was
all day at school my friends were like ooo what are you humming me classical music dumb stuff
I played this in 9th but I felt the same way. I couldn't remember the name tho so I was like Dragon Slayer???😅
Not cool
Nice sub botting
This is what its supposed to sound like??😂😂 my orchestra sounds really bad
Same
bro i feel that...im supposed to be practicing the viola part to this and i was curious to what the whole thing actually sounded like and im in total awe of how horrible my school orchestra is lmao
What are you doing dragon slayer or dragon hunter. They're two different things
@@kingwilliams9077 im doing dragon hunter rn
A Orchestra can sound bad, but be 98% accurate at the same time
As a Viola you feel so important when you get to play those 4 notes all by yourself
I’m gonna learn this soon, and I appreciate that this is one of the only songs with viola starring (play viola)
Honestly I would be very happy to play this, as a former viola player I never got to be the main part
LITERALLY
*cries in cello/bass*
Or the melody at the beginning of gauntlet
This was one of my first viola pieces...
The nostalgia is real
SteamedHams same
I play the viola too
My broskies I ain't the only viola. Btw I'm in 9th grade and made it to the springfield junior symphony
So I'm going to get a viola soon do any of you fellow viola players have any suggestions on pieces I could purchase? Or any composer you could recommend?
ViOLAS aRE uNDeRrATeD pERiODt
This is the song literally every orchestra kid remembers playing in like 5th grade lmfao I still have my sheet music of this I play Viola
Fr I still have my music sheet ( I play cello)
I joined Orchestra in 7th grade though :(
Lmao I'm learning this in 8th grade but you are right mostly anyone who was in orchestra has probably played this or knows ab it
Im doing this in december 9th at my middle school
Im giving it a cool effect
i play the cello lmao
As a violin player this is my favorite song we play
Agreed
Same. I remeber when I played it in 6th grade, I loved it
Even with the bass part, I love this song
Sammeeee
Same
Who would win
A Insanely Deadly creature capable of breathing fire Or One swordy boi
Actually, this is a trick question, it would be a violin boi with the skills to blow the crowd away, and even a dragon.
I would win cause he would;d kill him self when I played this song cause I'm so bad
An Orchestra. Duh. XD
I depends if the boi has a violin if he does he can make the dragon love the music then slay him thats why there is a song called dragon slayer
I play orchestra and we played this song GREAT Song my favorite
Ooo I get to play this song (I'm a cello)
im viola too
I'm a violin
haha same xD
1318Snake cello (7th grade)

As a cellist were currently learning this song and I love playing it so much!!!
Same
Same rn not 7 mo ago
Omg as a violinist in 6th I admire the cello piece so much!
I'm a chellist too!
I love playing!
This song gets stuck in my head, so i will be whistling the violin part all day at school.
I can't whistle what would be equivalent to the D string. I can't go that low :(. Nor fast.
Um the violins play for the entire song pretty much. So it not really a part.
there’s like 2 violin parts lol
I'm my orchestra class, we are learning this and I play the viola part. Its not as hard to learn as one might think
Claudia Newcomer the cello part is better, considering I’ve played it lol
I played this song at least 12 times in my orchestra class. (Play the cello)
FURIOUS GAMER I also play the cello I’m in 7th grade
FURIOUS GAMER same honey CELLO FOR LIFE 😂
FURIOUS GAMER same
FURIOUS GAMER Same, tho I was a violin player, I learned this in 6-7th grade
FURIOUS GAMER #CelloClub
0:34 as a viola i felt so special when we got this part because the violins always get all the attention and get all the solos on most of the songs we played. Violas are seriously underrated
As a viola player, I totally agree with this
@@maryrea2839 me tooo
As a cello player, know that we are covering up the violin’s mistakes
Same the Shade that was thrown onto violas because violins are so overrated
As a cello player, I completely agree and also cellos are very underrated as well, I've told my friends I play cello, they say, "you mean a bass?" Or "what's a cello?" And it really gets on my nerves lol
Omg the nostalgia... i played this in 6th grade and still have the sheet music
SAME
I have to play this song in my orchestra class I love dragons 🐉
same!
also same
its actually pretty easy (in my opinion) and its super fun to play so don't be scared! good luck!
Neko Girl same
Same. I play the bass.
Honestly that dragon looked so huge and amazing that it made me want to play this song better.
And I need to so my school orchestra can win our competition.
The Little Tubers glad I could help lol. Next time you're not feeling a song just try to imagine something that reminds you of it. Be very creative :)
Svt IcyAir great point, you know what I wish Richard Meyer did at the end of this piece, since this is the dragon hunter, he should have made the last note, a powerful long note, with a giant crescendo.
Andy Milsten well, everyone has their preferred endings lol :)
you okay bro?
My class played this in sixth grade. Now it’s a sixth grade tradition because every year my class asked the teacher if the sixth graders were playing it. Years later most of my orchestra class can still play the majority of it from memory.
This song is a legend
yes km in sixth grade and right now I'm playing this song
From memory is so sweet
I’m in 6th, and I’m playing in my concert next week!!!!
I’ve been playing violin for 8 years and I remember this was the first full length song I ever played as a little 2nd grader. I’ve been biased toward it as one of my favorite songs of all time and still have it memorized.
the exact same thing happened to me
Hi
second grade??? i learned this in 6th 😭
YOU LEARNED THIS IN 2ND GRADE? Holy shit
@@amityblight1259 Dang I learned this song in 7th grade, there were only 5 orchestra kids with no bass tho
I once heard this song and searched it up, I couldn't find it then...
I teared up when I saw this!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you
I WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES!!!!! my friends were holding my mouth at school so I would stop whistling it but I still did it (I play cello) I recomend doing orchastra so you can learn this song
Susan Wolff-Given I am in it lol
I’m in I play second violin 🎻 I luv it but I don’t know how to site read I’m in advanced orchestra but I’m a beginner
How can you watch it when it is only a picture
pay attention to what the song shows you
Susan Wolff-Given I play the bass
This is definitely the piece of music that make a orchestra player truly part of and orchestra. It is a right of passage, and I know no one who hasn’t played this song at some point. It was the first real piece I learnt, and still one of my favorite to this day.
I remember playing this in my elementary orchestra and absolutely destroyed my fingers during the pizzicato part
just wait till you play bavarion rhapsody
Factsssss
It seems that at the end of the song the knight fails to kill the dragon and gets killed by it or the dragon was defeated and was killed by the knight. 🐉
FURIOUS GAMER OMG. lol.
FURIOUS GAMER that’s how the song wants you to think. My orchestra teacher told us that the song is about a knight trying to hunt down a dragon, and in the end, you decide either the knight dies or the dragon dies
Yes it does your right
PikaGirl139 :3 yes

Oh My!!!!!! I see you EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Clorox bleach do you just go around looking at videos and then comment on them? I see you everywhere.
Wow, you are certainly devoted to commenting in every video.
The most iconic song as an orchestra player

I'm going to be playing this next month on violin, I can't wait.
It kind of fits in with Wings of Fire.
ShadowstalkerPlayz love that series
ShadowstalkerPlay yep
ShadowstalkerPlayz omg i love wings of fire
YES!
ShadowstalkerPlayz WINGS OF FIRE :D
Playing this for orchestra, we sound horrible 😂

I like how most people are just here to listen to music they will be playing/ already played
this song has been stuck in my head since 6th grade. that was 4 years ago

After moving schools I couldn't play Cello anymore which broke my heart. I love how the cello sounds.
This song holds a special place in my heart
R I P
Cello in my opinion is best.
Hey, pick it up when you become a teenager or adult, life will become a lot more bearable!
I haven’t memorized the full song in my brain, but my body remembers it. 4 YEARS AGO
Just imagine band people try to be half as good as us if they played this ;)
Lol
loooool
Haitran Mai sooo true
Haitran Mai forget band we dont need them
Steven Gonzalez ikr 😂
that's why band sucks😂
keep having to press replay
I played this almost 3 years ago now, it’s still one of my favorites

I love this song it's my fav out of the 4 songs I am doing but I hate the pizz part. (I am a fellow cello player)
Why?
Im cello too, im hoping that my orchestra will play this after we do starfleet.
I was viola but we skipped the pizz part

I love the pizz part (I’m a viola but I know the whole violin part too tho)

I'm here as a senior in high school. We played this in 6th grade. The nostalgia... I remember it so well I bet I could still play it today.
This song, medieval kings, Scarborough fair, and walk of the silent zombies was my favorite concerts pieces tbh
I freaking loved playing this song it was the first song we played as a concert in the school orchestra
omg this picture fits perfect with the song! great job :)
Gotta thank songs like this, Gargoyles, and many others for practically training my hand to play. Now I play bass guitar and it felt right just right off the bat. Played cello not bass. Well, yes I played bass for a year but cello for three. Good days...
You played gargoyles too?

0:42 I remember in 8th grade I was the only cellist and this part got my heart PUMPING. It was terrifying to do all alone
1:31 is the best part I love this song
I love it too but omg it hurts sooo bad to play on my fingers
Me remembering playing this in 4th grade and now I can’t get it out of my head😃
After four years of viola playing, this song is still the most vivid in my head. Everytime I hear it my fingers automatically start going up and down to play each note. Thank you for posting this
Played this in orchestra today love it🔥 (I played cello)
Lucky, mine got put into a different school because we were done with it
My orchestra's been playing this lately, and as the pianist I need to touch up on my bass clef, but I feel like it helps to hear the song over and over. Thanks mate!
I am playing this song right now i my class at school #saturdayschool! Strings is life!!

Wish me luck, me and my school orchestra is gonna Play this at Knott's Berry Farm
My orchestra teacher always asked us who won and we always shouted "The dragon!"
lol
Wrong! It was the one swordy boi!!
I had a concert on it, we were so good 😊
I'm so glad I get to play this song in my 7th grade orchestra :>
I remember playing this in my middle school orchestra. It was so much fun
THIS was one of my orchestra concert pieces
I love how this piece is such a universal experience for any orchestra kid. To this day I love it because of how nostalgic it still feels
The final concert of 6th grade what an amazing time I'm an eighth grade tech student now since my new school doesn't have orchestra I'ma miss the program
I used to play this all the time *memories*
Bass player 7th grade good times 5 years ago
When I learned this all of our 6th grade orchestra class absolutely LOVED THIS
Bro the fact that my SMALL beginner's class got this (including me) to sound like this is amazing 😭🙏🏽
I have to play this on my cello and I'm bad at it also the cellos don't get a part so we're just in the background while the violins and violas get to be in the spot light
Mettaton Lover I'm sure you will be just fine if you practice and that's only for songs. There many songs that cello, basses, and violas get the spotlight. (I'm a violinist)
Nahhhh, what are you saying. Trust me, the cellos are awesome in this song. After all practice makes perfect. Once you get that, it be YOU in the spotlight.
actually, in this song, the cello is a pretty important part.

im going to be honest here, cellos are a support part, its what you signed up for. yes, there will be songs where you are the melody (and they are awesome) but those songs aren't common in public school orchestras
As a Bass player, our part is very fun to play. It's super soothing
oh the nostalgia from 4th grade orquestra (cello) we sounded so bad our teacher cried during our performance. literally cried,
Oof
Me: listening to a recording of my 6th grade dragon hunter performance Also me: feeling bad for making my family listen because it was so bad
fun fact, my orchestra teacher is the daughter of Richard Meyer... just learned that yesterday.
So I started viola last year (my entire class was beginner orchestra), and we got 1st place in our competition against every school in the district, along with some outside of the district. Playing mainly against high schoolers. I can’t tell you how proud of myself/my classmates I was
This was my favorite song to play in 6th grade and it still is
I’m a quadruplet and I have a sister that is not a quadruplet. We have 5 kids in our family. 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, and 1 bass. We play this songs together all the time. This is our favorite. My mom is a conductor and my dad takes videos of us for fun.
I feel like almost every beginner orchestra plays this song! This really shows how a piece doesn't have to be hard to be a great piece!
I used to play the cello and this was my favorite songs but I switched to the flute and I found out that I can play my old cello part really close to the original on flute and I’ll be honest it’s the happiest I’ve been in band
I’m playing this song for concert in May!!!
it’s been two years and it’s still stuck in my head- so here i am. back at it again🖖😔
played this on cello..so fun
Absolutely love this! I have to play it in orchestra. :3
I remember playing this I've been looking for it!
I haven't touched a violin in about 3 years but I can probably still at least play the first part lmao, brings back nostalgia
Dragonhunter V.S. Toccatina
(These are both amazing piece)
Like for dragonhunter comment for toccatina
Toccatina
My biggest flex is that my orchestra teacher is the daughter of the person who composed this piece
That's crazy, lol
This is still one of my favorite pieces. It's just fun to play.
We played this in our 6th Grade Spring Concert, now I'm in 8th Grade, the nostalgia's real
It still slaps
