- Official Video of "The Bravest Journey", composed and orchestrated by Emily Bear (age 13) for an event honoring war veterans and featuring General Colin Powell for 6,000 people. World Premiere on October 10, 2015 performed with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Steven Larsen.
My first thought:
This could be an Oscar winning movie score!
She is so big that ican not measure shis talent
This was fantastic. Emily is such a paragon in her field, I only wish more people could appreciate the brilliance of a composer like this. I am an an amateur pianist and when I see what emily has done I am just in awe. so naturally tallented. She definitely deserves all accolades for her work and genius. thank you emily
This is quite possibly the greatest piece of contemporary music in my lifetime (and she's only 14). This kind of quality will endure and outlive the greatest works in all other popular genres (pop, rock jazz, etc.). Long live Emily Bear!
i like how emily mentally conducts the orchestra, just making sure that everybody is on the same page. emily is a pure music genius of our time.
And not one sheet of music in front of her. This beautiful young lady is absolutely amazing. God has truly blessed her. When it comes to music, she is a genious. All i can say is wow!!!
Phillip cheatta i noticed that also.
Why would she need music when she wrote it!
@@warrengwonka2479
in her concerts where she didn't write the music, she has no music in front of her. Check out her performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and you'll understand, probably.
Just a sweet glance.
To the Bears: Please always just encourage and support Emily and never try to direct her in any particular direction. She is so excellent a player and composer. She is entering her teen years which can be really challenging for everyone, but always support her. Such a talent .. WOW.
To play this with no music in front of her, is truly just astonishing! Such talent!!
Emily is truly great and gets so much credit that she deserves but also I love the mom and Grand-mom as well, that more than anything want her to be happy and have values and ethics. Something wonderful for any child to grow up with that most kids haven't a clue about.
The most beautiful musical artwork ever in my lifetime. Very moving. Bravo Emily Bear Bravo!
Amazing and Fantastic talent. God bless and protect her. She is precious.
This is what its all about: she shows us how a perfect developed human is supposed to Be, Source in human form, a natural human, humble, peaceful, creative, she is the perfection in human flesh, humble and yet Divine. The personification of Love, Light and Joy, all Divine attributes our true , real heritage. She is music herself, when she plays there is no one there , only Presence. It flows gently , pure, untouchable.
Careful, now, she is only human, lol. No one is perfect, but I definitely agree with what you mean. She is an excellent example of what we are all capable of when we apply ourselves to the present moment.
Just discovered Emily last week, wow she is a great pianist, singer and composer, but I also think a great person.
I don't know what to say ,accept no body on earth is as gifted as her tears pour out of my eyes as soon as she starts to play, i can't express what I feel ,she's magical and an insperation, if you read these comments Emily thanks for the gift .
Amazing Emily!!!! I have been following you since you were 6 and you still seem to produce over the top performances. I've followed you for so long I feel like part of your family. You can call me Grandpa Jim. Just keep grounded and stay humble because we and the world have an eye on you!
Ce n'est pas ma formation mais je comprends que l'on puisse vous admirer Bravo
I close my eyes and get chills and tear up! I thank God for the talent and gift He has bestowed upon you and for sharing your music with the world. Truly you are the greatest contemporary elite musician! Thank you and let God bless you and all those around you...
She shows us how to bring the Light that we all are into this human form, we all have it, but very few are yet aware of it. She does what brings her joy and happiness and shares it with us, what a gift and I wish more parents would be more aware in letting their children be who their really, truely are. Reflections of the Light.
hi emily i was going to shower you with compliments but i know you see yourself just as a person who loves to write and play music so i will just say this young lady your music fills my heart with joy you are amazing and now i have subscribed to your channel i look forward to hearing more of you great compositions i would like to say your parents have done an amazing job nurturing your talents they must be very proud🙏
Thanks for sharing your organic talent with us. I hope this piece will make it into a movie someday:) That would be awesome!! Brilliant and Beautifully done. Julie
Breathtakingly beautiful. I love this amazing young prodigy. I have always loved music, and she inspires me more and more each day, to become more eclectic of the music I listen to. BRAVO.
Thank You for this from a vet of the mid-late 1960s.
+royeh Leave it to a 13 year old girl to musically welcome home Vietnam and Vietnam era veterans. I sensed a great relief and release in the thunderous applause following her triumphant performance. Women always did look after us when the chips were down!
+John Culley Emily Bear music is unusually passionate. Listen to the music she wrote for a cartoon on the UA-cam video entitled, "REUNITED-composed and re-scored by Emily Bear" and her imaginative arrangement of Ukrainian Christmas song, the Carol of the Bells.
She is the most amazing young lady in my life i have ever seen! 🙂💫
what a beautiful and talented girl....
This passionate welcome home to all Veterans is greatly appreciated. The thunderous applause and standing ovation were well deserved. Oddly, the other recording of this performance on UA-cam is even richer and more spectacular than this recording, probably because it was from a different vantage point back in the "cheap" seats. This recording emphasizes Emily and the Steinway piano while the other one highlights what the Rockford Orchestra was playing. These recordings show the complexity and sophistication of the music that 13 year old Emily Bear wrote.
+John Culley t think it's because of the sound mixing. so I add some surround and a lil echo and reverb, it sounds spectacularly good.
Really moving and amazing music. Thanks Emily 💕
Beautiful and grandeur piece of music. You are amazing Emily! I love watching you play and listen to your performances. Best wishes!
Emily Bear, Always remember her name folks.. You are seeing someone very rare in that she can play and compose with equal excellence,, You are incredible Emily
Really awesome, such emotion!
I've been watching your video's and what stands out is your personality. It shows in the music you write as well as the way you communicate though your piano. Thank you and take care....
The plural of video is videos. 😉
Absolutely AMAZING!! I got chills listening to this! Such talent!
Emily, congratulations!. I love this song!.
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you and may God bless you and your future.
she could composed such great music for films!
wow, that's so Amazing 😱! i'm playing piano for 8 years now, and i'm playing only the turkish march at the moment😂. You will get very famous with this talent👍
Sheer inspiration for the human race - thank you Emily.
mind boggling
Stunning Emily & that you wrote & scored the music. Only found your videos today c/o YT & have subscribed. All the best for the future.
8 months without new video...
We miss so much your marvellous music Emily 😰.
This is amazing emily! I love your music! It still baffles me your'e half my age and produce music like this. It comes to show that nothing is impossible!
emily vezar es una pianista por la gracia de dios.y su esfyerzo.bravssimo
This is so touching! I am lost for words. Emily Bear, wow. I mean.. just wow! I just love your music, your skills. Truly amazing. This piece just blew me away.
this young lady some how belongs to Penn and Teller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OX,OX, OX THOMAS ABBOTT
Es realmente asombroso su talento, su esfuerzo, Gracias
This peace is amazing 😊
lol
Miss bear keep it up you're using your talent very well. You're fulfilling you're purpose on earth; this is what you're made of and made for
Miss Bear you play superbly! God has gifted you with great talent. Have you considered composing music for Motion Pictures? We have lost a couple of great composers in recent years such as John Berry and James Horner. Epic movies need epic composers like you... anyway just a thought.
Please pay attention to this one, Emily Bear!
That's what she wants to do. She considers herself more of a composer like Mozart than a pianist like Lan Lang.
Autum Myst I understand she is indeed working in films now. I would love to see Emily and Alma improvising together, either on two pianos or on piano and violin,
Hey Warren, that is just what I thought. I came here during listening to Alma Deutschers great performances and I cannt wait to see and HEAR them together!
She already is!
Amazing! So much talent. That part right in middle of the song was reminiscent of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2.
Grossartig, unglaublich, dass ein so junger Mensch das komponiert hat. ich bin begeistert und wünsche noch viel Schaffenskraft. Wunderbar!
One word... Incredible

Thanks for your awesome composition!!
I wonder what someone like Chopin would have made of this, considering her age here - and the fact that music has changed so much over the years?
❤
Beautiful
Linda! Sou sua fã Brasileirinha! hahaha Beijos no coração! Maravilhosa!
really beautiful and emotional!!!
Holy fuck ive known her for years were similar in age like a yr off or so cant believe how shes grown its been awhile
A prodigy.
You should do a song for finding dory.
oh Yeah^^
How old are you if I may ask?
Oh ok
Wow
Amazing, wonderful! :)^
it is been such an honor?
Very well done John Barry, euh...I mean Emily Bear.
You are so good
Simplemente FANTÁSTICO :)) :)) Gracias Emily
She looked back at 2:44 because the snare drummer is having trouble keeping up with the tempo.
+Mosaic Classics I wish we could have seen the expression on her face!
He next intro was with the violins, and she was watching them so it all synced well. Every piece she has written for an orchestra, she watches them all to make sure they come in at the right time, as she wrote it. She is the master of every player there. She keeps her eye out on every important part and who is playing it.
OK, I don't know for sure that she was looking back at the percussionist playing the snare drum. But I would have, because his/her playing was terribly off beat. (There's sufficient reason for my comment.)
Mosaic Classics I
As a retired symphony orchestra musician, I can assure you that she was watching the conductor. Note that his back is to her.
Not quite as good as Les Voyages, but pretty good. MORE! I want symphonies, concertos (concerti), chamber music for string quartets and wind ensembles, overtures, incidental music for ballets, and whatever else you've got. (Yes, I'm greedy.) You've got the gift!
Don't let these lefty vet-haters in the comments bring you down. They forget that it's the vets who make it possible for them to even have an opinion.

Emily Bear The Bravest Journey behind the scenes
Is there anyone who has heard this and has lowered his thumb?
I prefer to think they did it before even pressing the play button.
she is 4 years older than me i am 10
Ten years old is a great age to start piano or other music lessons.
Hahaha good job on being famous
One day very soon, Emily is going to score an epic movie to rival, if not surpass, the likes of: _John Williams, Harold Shore, Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Vangelis, Michel Legrand,_ and so many others.
😉 *_R_*
I have watched so many of her youtube videos...how she's been doing this since she was very young. She is amazing! She's born to do this...
As a composer, she's a really good melodist, and her knowledge of jazz harmony supports that gift very well. Take around 2:30 and 7:00 for example, she plays with augmented chords and chromatic mediant modulations -- very much in the film score idiom -- but she sprinkles in jazz harmonies as well, for example the G7#9 chords around 5:00. Also uses that brief staccato string ostinato very effectively to mark transitions between sections. The only thing I'll critique is that some of the transitions are a bit jarring or feel a bit unmotivated, as if she was concatenating very different ideas without much connecting material; however, the unity of the piece is restored a bit by restatement of main themes and harmonic ideas later in the piece.
Also: she's THIRTEEN, for God's sake!!! And she knows how to orchestrate like Danny Elfman or John Williams!!! I've struggled so much with achieving balance in orchestration, and she just effortlessly uses the instruments and the orchestral choirs so so so well to make the music shine. Brava!!!
At least when you watch this video, you will understand what the piece is about and why in your view the transitions are choppy. it is consciously composed that way because it is a War piece. And Wars don't have smooth transitions.

She composed and orchestrated this at 13 years old?!?!?! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emily is a true musical prodigy. She was composing and playing piano from the time she was barely out of diapers. Read her on wiki and check out some of her other works on YT.
It's quite incredible... way beyond her years. What will she compose when she's had more life experience under her belt???? The mind boggles...
She is our Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, etc. We actually have, really and without doubt, a classical composer in our midst, when we all thought they no longer existed. Her jazz compositions are amazing. Her singing voice is also amazing. Check out her very recent videos where she sings with her music. Absolutely wonderful. And, as always, that grin just slays me!
This is fantastic! So moving…..
I’ve watched Emily grow from a tiny musical prodigy to a mature talented composer and pianist… Well done, Emily!!!!
Emily, when you come on stage, you bring happiness and joy in to this trouble world.
@paul w Give me a break! Your a moron---as if any of the troops had any say in what your hero "Obama" ordered them to do!!
pure musical genius
Wonderful. bright as a path of light and strength.
Many blessings to you and your music.
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!
After all these years, a brief comment. I was there. She made us cry. She gave us wonder. It continues.
Very impressive composition for a twelve or thirteen year old. It's so rare for there to be genuine child prodigies. Others to look out for, both a bit younger than Emily, are American jazz pianist Joey Alexander who emerged as a ten year old playing the most amazing jazz; and British pianist, violinist and composer Alma Deutscher, who wrote a piano sonata aged 6, an opera aged 7, a full length opera aged 10, violin concerto aged 9, piano concerto aged 10 plus plenty of other works. So we've got Emily, Joey and Alma all at the same time, which is pretty remarkable. Would be interesting if they got together some time to make music.
This peace show us again how great Emily is as pianist, composer and person. And it show us how fantastic the conductor and orchestra is. I think the members of the orchestra and the conductor are the proudest musicians in the world with Emily in the orchastra. 8:00 At the time of Wild West people say, Don't shoot the pianist' But now there's a new history moment. It's now "Kiss the Pianist.". 8:00.
Thank you, Emily. It was brilliant!
After watching several videos of Emily Bear, from her first introduction on Ellen's show to now, she displays a gentle spirit, and one that has a God given talent at the keyboard and vocals. While her physical beauty is superior, her gentle spirit and grounding far exceeds her beauty. She is wonderful to look at, but her music reaches into your soul. I would think in the years to come she will be at the forefront of Pianists that effect the musical world. I am very happy to have stumbled upon this talent!!
Amazing, wonderful!
No one can top her.i thought Liberace was great.step side.here come the greatest piano player in the world.call her a a genius wouldn't be enough.Emily bear.she is haven sent.the music she writes.do I need to say anymore.she is world's greatest piano player ever live.
That was really awesome and amazing piece of music I enjoyed listening from beginning to end.
Everybody talk about her musik
I talk about her , the best personality
I seen on stage
can't believe myself I became addicted to your music, I have never played piano or been interested but since I saw coincidencely your video playing piano in your 6 years old I said she's great and will be famous like mozart Beethoven... thanks emily for every video you upload to share with us your talent and feelings.
+Anouar El Bousaady I know, right? welcome to the club. :D
thank you she really deserve ^_^
i love how she mentally conducts the orchestra. always listning watching. a genuine musical genius.
Thank you, I'm a veteran.
This is incredible!!!!!!
Emily has written a fascinating variation on this piece for 25 pianos that can be found on UA-cam. Emily has also written a solo piano variation of this tone poem.
She is great!
Brillant !!! Bravo! I am going to share this with the Veterans here in my 55 and older community this Veterans day! Thank you!
Lovely piece of music! I'm impressed by it! Great Job Emily! I'm a Fan!
