Theme from Band of Brothers | Michael Kamen duo corgano | Trevor Nuckols, Horn; David Ball, Organ Recorded at Christ Cathedral Garden Grove, CA November 11, 2021
I weep every time I hear this … I’ve known so many wonderful WWII veterans, now almost all gone. I love them and thank them with all my heart. God Grant them peace and rest. The Greatest Generation, who saved our world from tyranny will never be forgotten.
As a veteran myself, I weep when I hear this music. My father was a member of General Patton's Third and I honor his time in service. God rest all souls from that time!
Today we celebrate our freedom and yesterday we honored the dead people. Your Father was a great man from an ever greater generation. You can be proud of him.Thank you for your service and for your fathers. May God bless you all.
I’m retired Army, but let’s not forget the Coast Guard and Merchant Marine heroes also. Let’s also include all of “Rosie-the-Riveters” who put their contributions in also!! God Bless ALL of them. 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
@@fishmonger6879 I apologize, but they were as important as well, both my Mother and Mother-in-Law worked in the armaments industry. My Mother-in-Law actually climbed into the wings of B-24’s to connect wiring because she was so small. Thanks!
I absolutely shed every tear I have hearing this song. My grandfather was a cook on an Assault Transport Ship during WW2. I never got to meet him sadly, he passed to cancer when my dad was only 19. It’s so sad that we are literally losing, The Greatest Generation.
My Dad was a medic/surgeons assistant in the european theater. He saw so many guys wounded during WW2. He was drafted in the Army about 7 months before 12/7/1941. They were the Greatest Generation.
In memory of my grandfather Edward Nelson, Fco 39th RCT 9th ID. WW2 veteran and my hero. Battle of the Bulge, Huertgen Forest, Aachen, and Occupation duty.
No matter what branch of the military you serve in, you are always compared to those who served in WW2. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who fought then is what we strive to be now. What a beautiful tribute to them. May God hold them close to him forever and ever.
Watched BoB as a young teen when it was new. now in my 30s I get misty eyed knowing all the men in those interview scenes are gone😞 I take every chance I can to show my gratitude for the men who served who I’ve had the privilege to know
I’m 25 yo and I shed tears for all the courageous young men like me who fought a died for our nation. Their sacrifice will forever fuel my personal determination. To think we youth today have so much and so little gratitude it is truly shameful. God bless the families of those lost, those men I am eternally grateful for.
I share your reverence. I just hope we never have another generation which is forced to achieve greatness by what these heroes had to do. We owe that great generation everything we have and everything we are. I’m sure they would agree that we should all remain vigilant and even be prepared to die as they did to preserve our way of life. Ultimately though, I think they share our hope that the peace they brought to the world is an enduring one.
My heart aches every time I hear this beautiful theme song. My dad was a WWIi and later Korean War vet while in the Navy. He passed in 2018 at the age of 92. As a family, we donated some of his memorabilia and collected artifacts to the WWII Museum in New Orleans where much of it is on display! We are so proud of him and honor all those who took up arms for this country!
Sad yet triumphant. My wife and I caught a bus in Florence which dropped us off at an American Soldier Cemetery outside of Florence. We started weeping over the rows of grave markers and continued as we walked. Many were labeled ‘known only to God’. That music captured our emotions.
As one of those who benefitted from the sacrifices of many, I say thank you. I have tried to always honour our veterans by living the best life I could. Thank You.
Dad served in the Navy stateside in aviation repair, uncle was on the Tennessee 42 till the end, great uncle was I the battle of the bulge. Elsenborn Ridge, Battle of Bulge. 12/26/44, “ no one dies on Christmas “.
I believe, almost without exception…this is the most understated, moving…and “emotionally descriptive” theme ever recorded. It’s only competition is the show itself.
My father served in Milne Bay and Bougainville. He didn’t talk about the war much. He left Australia in the March of 1942 and returned home and discharged in the March of 1946. He camped for almost 4 solid years in a small tent, with a bamboo floor and the mud and rain was an ordeal for all of them. He had his 21st birthday in Milne Bay with his brother and two others in an outrigger canoe. Until after his passing away at 90 did I start to investigate his ordeal. He was tough and held an enormous respect for all who served. He never took us five kids camping over the holidays.
An incredibly beautiful song. When you hear it, it evokes such emotion and takes you to a place of gratefulness but also sadness at the many lives lost. So grateful for the service of our WW2 vets. The were truly the greatest generation. They understood the stakes and were willing to lay their lives down for a cause bigger than themselves. We as a nation owe them so much. 😢🙏
I think Bill Guarnere put it best in his series comment ... "I'm just one small part of a big war - just one small part." I've always felt that Easy Company was a metaphor - a symbol - of all who served to defeat the evil that existed in the world at that time, on the battlefields, as well as at home. Easy Company was representative of all the men and women of all the Allied countries regardless of the role they played. That generation, comprised of the heroes of all those countries, was indeed a great generation. World War II to date was the greatest calamity in human history and that generation stood up to face it, courageously and with firm resolve and succeeded.
Great tribute to veterans from all the Allies who made the supreme sacrifice. That generation were made of stronger stuff than today’s snowflakes! May they rest in peace.
I'm in the band program at my school here in TX as a French Horn player (3rd year of doing it so far). My director today told me that Trevor Nuckols was also a Horn student of his in the beginner band years ago and I searched his name and found this. It's truly inspiring.
Thank you for the kind words. Please give my very best to Mr. Corcoran, he was and still is a huge inspiration for me - the epitome of a great teacher & human being - and the first person to ever introduce me to Dennis Brain! I owe him all of my gratitude. Cheers, Trevor Nuckols
My grandfather was Army (WWI Cavalry). My father (WWII & Korea) and my father-in-law (WWII) and both my uncles were US Navy. And then me, CWO4, USN(Ret). The music is nice, but people should try and understand what "Band Of Brothers" really means to service members.
Someday, this world will come under the government of God, and there will be no more loss and no more death. Christ Jesus will wipe every tear away and there will be peace.
I tried, but I had to turn it off after about 20 seconds. Years ago I was unable to conceive of the day when I would not personally know any World War II veterans.😭
@@tomelder2358 I know, I've played one for going on 60 years, but it's not your standard F/Bb double. I was wondering if it was a single Bb or high F descant.

Oorah
I could not have said it better myself.
God bless you sir
Nobody cares, dude
@@FlatOutMattYES WE DO‼️🇺🇸
This is absolutely incredible. And that horn player’s tone…wow.
Cool to see you here too, sounds amazing yea.

God Bless your Uncle !!

Beautiful! Greatest generation. We need men like that again. God bless America.

I feel the same way, exact same emotions. God Bless !
Have seen the series at least ten times…I weep everytime

That piece of music still gives me goosebumps since the first time I heard it many years ago when the show first came out.
It tells us how much music can add to a good film
It tells us how music can add to a good film; it moves your emotions.

"Freedom isn't Free"
"They gave up all of their tomorrows, for our todays"
Michael Kamen...such a genius, beautiful music, gets me everytime.

This beautiful soul searching piece brings me to tears for all those I loved so dear gone but never forgotten…..
That French Horn is awesome, great tone he has. I played French Horn for six years in Jr. and Sr. High School.
Former Euphonium soloist here. What a tremendous French Horn soloist!
As one of those who benefitted from the sacrifices of many, I say thank you. I have tried to always honour our veterans by living the best life I could. Thank You.
This music is so evocative, I can't believe it. It really telegraphs the sense that something more than the men who served has passed away with them.
A moving tribute to the Greatest Generation.
The French horn ! ❤ the music laments in sorrow and loss for each other ! Our brothers and sisters !
One of the best arrangements of music ever written and performed.
Dad served in the Navy stateside in aviation repair, uncle was on the Tennessee 42 till the end, great uncle was I the battle of the bulge. Elsenborn Ridge, Battle of Bulge. 12/26/44, “ no one dies on Christmas “.
A great series-because it had a great story to tell of great men. Moving, heartbreaking, thrilling, profound.

Goosebumps and Tears are running down each and every time I hear this wonderful piece. ☺️☺️☺️

Autant d émotions dans cette musique que dans l épopée de ces libérateurs qui ont donné leur sang pour la liberté...
"You never lived to see, what you did for me...".

@@trevornuckols Sorry for the confusion, Im speaking about Mr.Dawson, but if you'd like I can still pass the message on.
@@rocketchickenYT that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
This is lovely
awesome duo. thanks
My grandfather was Army (WWI Cavalry). My father (WWII & Korea) and my father-in-law (WWII) and both my uncles were US Navy. And then me, CWO4, USN(Ret). The music is nice, but people should try and understand what "Band Of Brothers" really means to service members.
Wow, Hammer
Very touching.
wonderful music, appreciated by an ex-RAF veteran
It sounds eerily similar to the nocturne from Mendelson’s midsummer night’s dream.
thank you, both...in rainbow array
Nicely done!
Valve knobs and keys on that organ line up as the Stars and Stripes.
very moving music
The best line from the lyrics (my opinion as a veteran) is “young men who died for old men’s wars…gone to paradise” Truth.
❤❤❤
HOOAH MY BROTHERS
Someday, this world will come under the government of God, and there will be no more loss and no more death. Christ Jesus will wipe every tear away and there will be peace.
Yet most wars are as a result of religion…
@@jasonmilne6920 No theyre not. Please stop trotting out that silly line.
Yes they are, happy to be proved 1:09 incorrect.
Wow

I tried, but I had to turn it off after about 20 seconds. Years ago I was unable to conceive of the day when I would not personally know any World War II veterans.😭
Absolutely beautiful!
What kind of horn is that? Descant single?
French horn.
@@tomelder2358 I know, I've played one for going on 60 years, but it's not your standard F/Bb double. I was wondering if it was a single Bb or high F descant.
Hi Matthew thank you for the kind words, for this performance I'm playing an Alexander B-flat horn (model 90 single horn).
Cheers,
Trevor Nuckols
@@horncalls Thank you Trevor!
