Xavier Foley - Double Concerto "For Justice and Peace" [full]

My double concerto "For Justice and Peace" was created to mark the 400th year of slavery ever since the arrival of the first slave ship in Jamestown Virginia, and to embody the struggle that African Americans went through colonial times to modern times.
This was a joint commission by the Sphinx Organization, Carnegie Hall, and New World Symphony.

I had never heard of Foley until today and am totally thrilled to have done so. This is absolutely stunning.

[@peanutkirby5308]

Literally every bass Concerto ever.

[@mattg6262]

Love love LOVE the incorporation of voice from the instrumentalists.

[@HollowEntertainment1]

This is my favorite song dude

[@peanutkirby5308]

AHHHHHHHHH, This is so good. This is probably my 15th or 20th time watching it, and it gets better every time. As an amateur bassist, I look up to you, man. Keep up the incredible work.

[@wailakiyt]

Wow most exciting piece I have heard played in a long time. Wonderful surprise with the voice and percussion at the end.

[@steveng.3927]

Ooohhh yes have I been waiting for a new Xavier Foley vid. I love this so much! It is a nice balance too! So heroic and also suspenseful!

[@ChessAlbaneze]

Beautiful and intense! When the players start singing it feels so powerful. You're always a composing inspiration.

[@leerhode1021]

So chilled & immersed in the piece. Bravo!

[@sleeveace223]

This work is absolutely amazing. I can really feel the emotions of the piece. You, the other soloist, and the string orchestra were all fantastic and played with such ferocity and passion. Bravo!

[@Махамбет-ф1й]

Очень хорошо

[@louismartin-jewell6847]

Was this an original? Sounds similar to Prokofiev

[@nonosquare1066]

i love how some people wear colourful dresses, instead of black clothes

[@snorefest1621]

3:20

[@elitorrez606]

Is that a 4/4 bass in the back?

[@mrbluemoose4296]

possibly, but Xavier is also playing on a 5/8 size bass, so 3/4 basses do look quite big in comparison.

[@pacomaciasarrate6809]

Thanks for a beautiful performance. This is from someone who thought the bass was just to keep the orchestra's rhythm until one of my kids started studying it. I'm sure I disagree with your politics, so trust me, it's the beauty of your art I'm lauding.

[@dingdingbella6521]

we dont know this mans politics and why should it matter if he has said nothing and is not intrested in saying anything

[@nicholassosa7026]

i heard a person cough 2:23/8:48
