I searched "Clocks in Motion" because I wanted to watch a clip about Einstein's theory of special relativity. Ended up here, happily. Subbed, this music is beautiful.
A perfect example of how even the simplest parts in a piece can make a difference: at 3:07 when the marimba 3 part enters with the low end eighth notes is probably my favorite part and every other time when she does that. Gives me goosebumps
I closed my eyes and I traveled, listening to pulsations and grains of time, harmonic sequences in a controlled fall. Thank you for this beautiful music.
There are two versions of this piece, one of the way they're playing it with the third marimba. And the second version is just two vibs and marimbas. If you choose to buy it, then you get both versions no matter what!
Swampfire after watching this version and Marc Mellon’s version(he plays with the 4player part) there is no difference in terms of different rhythms for each part. The bass marimba is added for timing and consistency.
My favorite nuance is the theme from 5:20-6:18ish where the feel is 6/8, and the shift at like 6:21 where the marimba octave theme shifts from 6/8 to 3/4. edit: In a live performance (or with nice speakers) the bass marimba comes in the second measure, and really underlines the shift
Really beautiful piece. Reminds me of Glass' Aguas de Amazonia, which is among my favourites contemporary compositions. Will definitely check more stuff out from your channel
Marching bands learn 15 minute performances, with visuals, positions on the field, dynamics, and all, by heart. It's mainly muscle memory, just play the piece over and over, and look at your music less and less, until you have it down.
While I understand that every part is important and you shouldn't feel bad for a playing a part that is objectively easier, I still would hate to be that poor girl on marimba 3 back there.
She probably is the most important person though. She accents the notes and provides the metronome. I'm sure no matter how hard they tried, they would mess up at least once without her part. I understand the feeling though. I've been that person multiple times.
@@thetraveler1230 I played this piece with an ensemble a few years back and that third marimba part is so important, but it’s also repetitive enough that it’s easy to get lost in the music if it’s not entirely memorized.
Really quite beautiful~ glad I found your percussion piece. Writing for percussion is something that has been challenging for me as everything sound good and I want to have a smorgas board of sound to work with. I like that you limit yourself to marimbas and vibes and develop your piece using limited instrumentation. Well done :)
This is absolutely a wonderful composition and execution of such a lovely piece of music. When I listen with my eyes closed magical things happen within...it is very healing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I wish for you to be happy, healthy and to thrive :O)
It was the girl with the 5 octave marina. She was playing simple 8th notes but it's a really nice bass line and adds a new dimension to the piece and makes it soothing as hell
was anyone else slightly disappointed they didn't move their marimbas XD loved your performance though, very stable and strong communication between players~

well its not just her, the entire ensemble changes as well at the same time she comes in to create that effect
😊
Marimba 3: The designated driver of the ensemble.
Brad Williams The most important part. She has all the bass notes. And the only 5-octave.
@@paulgering7703 Especially most important from 4:23 to 6:22
@@spookiedukey I agree having better tires on a car does help the car drive.
I saw you guys perform this live tonight, and it was beautiful. Still is here.
+Sarah Thanks Sarah! So glad you liked it!
Pretty fantastic. The section from 3:00 to 4:00 is particularly lovely. An impressive piece and an impressive performance.
Incredible piece and flawless execution. The dynamic changes are on point
I played this piece with four good friends my senior year of high school. Such a good piece. It’s a tricky piece, I won’t lie, but it’s so good
i've come back to this video countless times, something about it just leaves me captivated
To this day, my favorite example of how stacked rhythms even repeatedly can produce amazing sounds and small changes can set a tone
I love the switch to 5/8 😍😍
I closed my eyes and I traveled, listening to pulsations and grains of time, harmonic sequences in a controlled fall. Thank you for this beautiful music.
Wow! A fantastic piece and a mesmerizing performance!
Thanks Andrew! It is a very fun piece to play. Glad you enjoyed the performance!
marimba 3 is when you go to play with your older friends and your mom tells you to take your younger sibling with you
yeah im not sure why that part got written the way it did, in my experience it just made the person stuck on that part sad
Thank you, Clocks and God bless Marc for his gift to us.
My percussion ensemble just preformed this and it is probably the most beautiful piece I have heard
what a fantastic piece and performance!
+Edutainment Centre Thanks! It's really fun to play!
Beautiful piece, wonderful performance. So soothing...
The part of my brain where Phillip Glass and Tubular bells lives is on fire . You are amazing , thank you !
Yeah

I approve bro.

jk bro i love this kind of music and by extension anyone who listens to it
I'd be the one in the back with the eighth notes.

Antonio Morra what’s the difference between them? Harmony just split differently?

Martin Reid honestly same
Actually, the one in the back has the most important part, I think. She’s got the 5-octave with all the bass notes.

what a joy to watch every single one of you and which sounds it makes.
thank you !

So good.
Nice, almost hypnotic music. Well played.

Fantastic music from Marc Mellits ! love it! Great perfomance
I almost cried. That’s so beautiful.
How do you learn a 10-minute piece by heart?
Haha try doing 1hour+ long concerts by heart, 10 minutes seems easy after a while! Lots and lots of practice.
Marching bands learn 15 minute performances, with visuals, positions on the field, dynamics, and all, by heart. It's mainly muscle memory, just play the piece over and over, and look at your music less and less, until you have it down.

RE-PI-TI-TION!
amazing notes and also the players
Well done, you've played beautifully! I wish I had 8 arms, so I could play some of my own music on these.
Wish I had 8 hands... so I could give this *16 thumbs up.*
@@mellowtron214 that’s... not how thumbs work... is there a joke going over my head?
This tickles my brain.
Perfect .... everything is on point keep up the great work!😃😃😃😃😃😁😁😁🍄🍄
Seemed like a really strange "recommendation," but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Anything musical gets my attention. Bravo!
Belissimo!!!! Descobri esse instrumento através de um dos meus filhos , que faz percussão. è encantador..
Really liking the tones starting around 3:15.
While I understand that every part is important and you shouldn't feel bad for a playing a part that is objectively easier, I still would hate to be that poor girl on marimba 3 back there.
She had the coolest part tho
She was the one who was creating the balance between everyone
She probably is the most important person though. She accents the notes and provides the metronome. I'm sure no matter how hard they tried, they would mess up at least once without her part. I understand the feeling though. I've been that person multiple times.
Now I on the other hand would be thankful to be her , hehe. I should sure mess up the other ones!

Magical🎈
Just saw clockwork perform this song live today at a clinic.
Amazing!!!!!!
❤
Around 3:20 ish I feel like I can hear some sort of string instrument. wicked
It's sound of vibraphone with sustain pedal
It was the girl with the 5 octave marina. She was playing simple 8th notes but it's a really nice bass line and adds a new dimension to the piece and makes it soothing as hell
Me gusta mucho
Does anyone know what type of mallets the orange ones the girl is using are
I imagine being on a train, looking out of a window and see the landscape passing by...
Interstellar anyone?
Interstellar inspires us all.
Yaaaas
I thought I was the only one
Jay Parmar that's exactly what I thought my that this is not excellent but ya that struck me too.
At 10:44 when the lower notes came in wow.
Where can I find the score?

0:45 I thought the guy on the right side marimba had no head
YESS WE LOVE THE FOCUSED BACK POSTURE.
(lets be honest every marimbist or keyboardist gets caught doing it)
😂😂😂
Told myself I wouldn’t sit through the WHOLEEE 10 but did anyways because w o w
I laughed ute lude. Þinkest þou þat 10 minutes is long for a song? Well, þink again! Þere is music like þis hwose lengþ goeþ into hours!
Everyone add the timestamp to your favorite part! Mine is 3:00 (done mostly so I can skip around when I come back 😅)
Personally, I really like 8:48. 9:41 also.
@@kimbleangus7321 yea same
was anyone else slightly disappointed they didn't move their marimbas XD
