Yeah, I’m pretty sure John Williams knew what he was doing when he was invoking (or, in the case of Korngold’s title theme for King’s Row, directly lifting) the great composers of the Romantic period
If a trombonist is playing fortissimo, then then can generally outvolume an entire orchestra string section, or at least match it. Relatively straight air passage helps tremendously with volume, as well as the pipe+ mouthpiece size.
@@evann03 the original is Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev (from Romeo and Juliet) and it's actually an inspiration that John Williams used for the Imperial March.
That WAS clever! Prokofiev's score for his "Romeo and Juliet" ballet is one of my favorite works - and for the brass players to switch to the SW theme in the midst of a particularly ominous section of the "Dance of the Knights" was nothing short of brilliant! BRAVO! ENCORE!
Also, composers draw on prior music. John Williams could have very easily pulled from that short riff that the musicians used to transfer over to his song.
I love it. And I love even more that folks got a good laugh out of it. Makes the bond special. And folks are supportive when and if things don't work out during a rehearsal and/or performance.

I played a children’s outreach concert once where the brass did this. It was a huge hit. Especially with the high school kids who were invited to play along with the orchestra.
One of my favorite orchestra pranks, never get tired of it. You can tell who the Star Wars fans are and who has no clue what's going on by the looks on their faces.
My buddy and me did something similar in high school. The music we were playing was from Lion King and in the arrangement the end of I Just Can’t Wait to be King sounded like the beginning of Under the Sea from Little Mermaid. So my friend pulled up an arrangement of Under the Sea and as the Lion King piece ended we went straight into Little Mermaid on our saxophones. A fond memory indeed.
Man that low brass is loooooooow! Been about 30 years for me since I last played. I had a valve trombone back in high school. Our band director would write custom sheet music for me because I could play much faster and more intricate pieces than the slides. So much fun!

Every single time I come across this video on any form of social media, I must watch at least 5 times 😂😂😂
I played a children’s outreach concert once where the brass did this. It was a huge hit. Especially with the high school kids who were invited to play along with the orchestra.
Imperial march is to trombone, as smoke on the water is to guitar.
-Confucius
Conductor was like "Impressive, most impressive".
First part sounds like the melody of a game called "Papers please"
This is composition calls "Prokofiev - Dance of the knights"
@@kodzimageniy6151 Thank you, I have heard it somwhere else. Only the rythm is alike the soundtrack I mentioned.
it's the Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet
@@ronnic.3746 Yes, that's correct, thank you
I love how quickly the strings jumped in on it
Love that conductor has the sense of humour as well
One of my favorite orchestra pranks, never get tired of it. You can tell who the Star Wars fans are and who has no clue what's going on by the looks on their faces.
Director: if it didnt mesh in with the music so good, I would fail you, but this is acceptable
I love the opening of this piece!
And the Star Wars bit fit really well with the strings!
This is Knight Dance - Russian Classical Composition Prokofiev
I've seen this countless times, and it will always make me laugh.
I know almost nothing about music and didnt see it coming. Worth the wait
Conductor let that slide because he got to admit that it fits so well 😂😂
My buddy and me did something similar in high school. The music we were playing was from Lion King and in the arrangement the end of I Just Can’t Wait to be King sounded like the beginning of Under the Sea from Little Mermaid. So my friend pulled up an arrangement of Under the Sea and as the Lion King piece ended we went straight into Little Mermaid on our saxophones. A fond memory indeed.
Man that low brass is loooooooow! Been about 30 years for me since I last played. I had a valve trombone back in high school. Our band director would write custom sheet music for me because I could play much faster and more intricate pieces than the slides. So much fun!
Hearing this bit of music in a commercial was the whole reason i went to see the "Romeo and Juliet" ballet when i was in high school. Sat thrubit all just for this 😅
When your musical instruments are powerful enough to take control of the entire orchestra.😂😂😂
Conductor should have been "... as punishment you ALL now have to learn the Imperial March"
The fact it synced it so well is phenomenal hahaha.
That theme still gives me chills to this day
What is it
@@z.a-c_h it's Darth Vaders theme?
@@robowarrior1358 oh no I thought you were talking about the music before darth vaders theme. I was looking to figure out where I heard it from.
Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights
We used to make sure we could play what we were actually meant to in tune before we started dicking about
