4:19 - The Ecstasy Of Gold ... for me, still one of the most beautifully written, arranged and composed songs ever. Ennio Morricone was and will forever be *the* maestro. I keep coming back to this piece of art in moments of joy, pain, love and despair. And it always helps me to push forward. Beautiful reaction and appreciation of the whole orchestra's effort, keep it up.
This is the sound track to the move, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, an all time classic western with Clint Eastwood from 1967. If you wztchthe movie you will understand what the guy hanging means. So, watch it, it's a great movie!
Ennio Morricone was the best movie score composer ever. Period. Fun fact: That first little melody (first done with the flute) is mimicking the howl of a coyote in the desert.
I'm sure someone mentioned this somewhere, but these are two songs: the first half is the title credits to THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (1966), and the second slower half with the piano is called "Ecstasy of Gold" which is toward the end of the film. It's a classic western starring Clint Eastwood (Good), Lee Van Cleef (Bad), and Eli Wallach (Ugly). It's from Italian director Sergio Leone (why it's called Spaghetti Western). This is the third film in the "Dollars Trilogy" or "The Man With No Name Trilogy" (Eastwood is never named in any of them, but is given nicknames like "blondie". The first two in the trilogy are A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE. Director Sergio Leone is a major influence on Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino even used Ennio Morricone music for some films (Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and the full score for Hateful Eight which won Morricone an Oscar). The reason there is a hanging man is because of how we first meet Eastwood and Wallach. Wallach (called Tuco) is wanted, and Eastwood (Blondie) is a bounty hunter. Blondie brings Tuco to a sheriff to collect the reward. Before Tuco is hanged, Blondie helps him escape (I won't say how). He then brings Tuco to another sheriff for the increased reward, again saving him before he is hanged. They are splitting the ever-increasing reward. Tuco wants a larger share because it's his neck. Blondie says he might have a harder time freeing Tuco if his share is less. The slower, beautiful "Ecstasy of Gold" is toward the end during a climactic scene. This western epic is three hours long.
Ennio Morricone, who was in charge of the soundtracks for "THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGRY", said that the composition method at the time of making this movie was avant-garde music that incorporated daily tools and real voices that were not orchestral instruments. I was making emotional music.
The late great conductor/composer Ennio Morricone wrote this masterpiece and many other Italian western films scores. In every film he composed the music for. He always used Italian songstress Meso Soprano extraordinaire "Ms. Edda Dell'Orso." The 3 films of Clint Eastwood "The Good the Bad and The Ugly," "For a Few Dollars More," and a "Fistful of Dollars." And the greatest western ever made "Once Upon a Time in the West." All of the film soundtracks were composed by the great maestro "Ennio Morricone" and sung by the great Meso Soprano "Ms. Edda Dell' Orso." Brilliant response and comments.
I've had the movie on TV probably a dozen times. My wife always gets on my back when I have it on again until I tell her I'm not watching the movie, I'm listening to the soundtrack. Wish I'd been there.
so much talent. the waa waa lady, the so so serious violin player, the horn player with whale lungs and OMG the angel on balcony. just look at all the peoples eyes so into it so much talent!
@@0deepak love seeing people hear it for first time. they also put out a video more recent where they interview the 2 singers. very enjoyable to watch.
Watched a bunch of reactions to this. Finally someone that understands some of the mechanics behind all of this effort. Well done. Yes, Oboes are difficult. I hope you get a chance to watch the movie.
Agreed! I’ve watched a bunch as well without the commentary of the effort and how it feels to be in it! I loved playing in a band, it’s funny for me as I place myself in the band rather than the audience as I hear concerts like these.
@@KurtFrederiksen it's the curve that made me wonder. It has a really nice tone, although the lights didn't do the poor player any favours. Do you remember the programme V? Phil Cool did an impression of one of the creatures by changing his facial expressions and unfortunately all I can see is that!
@@KurtFrederiksen that was an interesting video and I never realised why it had the curved bocal and reed on the cor anglais until I just watched it - its quite a bit longer than I realised! I've also seen it called an alto oboe before. I used to play the clarinet so I'm not as familiar with the oboe family as I could be but being in an orchestra and/or choir is fun. Do you play at all?
Thank you for recognizing the call and response as well as the mesmerizing oboe playing. This is a true masterpiece not only in composition but also in both performance and videography.
Sadly, I wasn’t there for this particular concert, but I live about 10 kilometers from that concert hall and pre covid I used to go there at least 5-6 times a year. Being there in person for a classical concert with a World class symphony orchestra like this one is something everyone should try, if they get the chance. I do love a loud and crazy concert with the crowd going wild as well, but classical music performed live is just a spectacular experience.
This movie is from the Clint Eastwood movie the good the bad and the Ugly. famous spaghetti movie Itialian Movie, but it's a really great movie if you like cowboy movies
This movie is part of a trilogy , 'The dollars trilogy' . This orchestra did the other 2 as well , along with may other soundtracks . You should also watch For a fistful of Dollars. For a few dollars more.
Great video choice! THAT.. was an amazing performance! (It would be pointless for me to add to that) Except: Loved your attentive and insightful reaction!
I loved your reaction to this song. I also have watched many reactions to this, and you Lisa, are the first person that knew what an Oboe was! Most reactors don't even know that this song comes from one of Clint Eastwood's "spaghetti westerns" by the same name. I am a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your reactions,
@@thomasbohannan2699 Thank you for saying that too, I did as well just now. It IS an English Horn. I told her how to tell the difference. An English Horn's mouthpiece (the long looking tube in his mouth, for those who don't know what I am talking about.) has a sight bend in it and is longer. The Oboe's mouthpiece is straight and shorter than the English Horn's.
I am NOT a musically inclined critic, nor am I trained in the art. However, I did observe and am overwhelmed by the professional talent displayed by the Danish Symphony Orchestra. First, I want to commend Sarah Hicks, as a world class conductor she has the talent to bring to life the music of an elite ensemble of trained musicians. Tuva Semmingsen is a trained vocalist capable of doing a lot more than “waa waa” or whistling to the scale. She can deliver a sonata in English, French, Italian And possibly more than I have observed. Lastly, Christine Nonbo Andersen, Is a true professional without compare. I want to bring attention that she performs her aria without using sheet music. Which means she memorized a complicated aria and delivered it perfectly following the timing of the conductor. The tempo and scale is a masterpiece of unity and dedication.
Conductor Sarah Hicks and Danish National Symphony and voices , interpreted the most legit spaghetti - western film soundtrack in cinema history ... Composed by Ennio Morricone in 1966 , for the same title film directed by Sergio Leone ! RIP maestro Ennio ! Epic! P.S. This is an alto oboe , known as English Horn , chored in F or G ! If you played it you are a lucky person , cause this is a solo - virtuosic wind ... and my favourite by far in woodwinds ! Especially in low register , is mellow , and haunting ! And blurry and sharp in up register!
Lisa not an oboe, he is playing an English horn, which has a similar sound. The mouthpiece is curved and longer, where an Oboe's is straight and shorten than the English horn.
Hi, enjoyed your reaction. In the following video the cast is interviewed. I hope you enjoy it. UA-cam video: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - Reactions and the singers
This is the title song and one additional song from the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It was the 3rd film of the "dollars trilogy" that catapulted Clint Eastwood to international fame.
it's a far west western movie, everybody gets shot or hanged except the hero and his beloved. Well also the moderately good town people. people get hanged for shooting people and people shoot people that unjustly hanged people.
I played trumpet in both my high school and county bands. This music is phenomenal but you need to listen to Ennio Morricone's composition for, "Once Upon a Time in the West." In this Sergio Leone film Ennio composed music for each of the four main characters, including Henry Fonda and Claudia Cardinale. Please check out the UA-cam videos as the actors describe their experience filming to the music. Enjoy and God Bless.
This was the the theme of the movie of the same name with Clint Eastwood. The body hanging is which Clint shot the rope down so the man would not hang.
first reaction video out of 10 that knew it was a oboe, my guess was Haut-Bois which must be the Oboe, i guess clarinets have embouchures like say the sax
I am a danish taxpayer and here you see what some of our money er spend on, i am proud. Try listening to "onse a time upon the west" and "Highlander" with Tuva Semingsen (the lady in red dress) and the orchestra. ( keep some kleenex handy).
I can tell you’re a musician I hang around a lot of musicians and I am on myself also musicians like cover that saying that and Christina that’s saying that and all the other musicians when you meet them they just seem so normal like normal human beings but they’re so incredibly talented like they’re amazing angels you just can’t believe they actually normal people which is incredible
HEY LISA, I REALLY LIKED YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AS PART OF YOUR RERACTION. IT WAS SO CAPTIVATING , WASNT IT. SO,SO GOOD. TAKE CARE NOW FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA
watch the movie and then you will know about the hanging , the music was composed by the genious of ennio morricone , he composed 500 movie soundtracks.
Have you heard of a group called 4th Impact? Hands down the best girl group on the planet. These 4 sisters covered Leave the Door Open by Bruno Mars and I like it so much more than the original. They also did an angelic version of Bridge Over Troubled Water that everyone should see
This made no.1in the UK chart in the late 60s as was the popularity of this iconic movie

You mentioned Tarantino. The Orchestra have done a melody from Kill Bill.
This the first time for the Soprano to do a concert like this. The conductor saluted her.
Yes, it was her first solo.

I was there and I totally agree with you. It's good here on UA-cam, but nowhere near live. Absolutely amazing
so much talent. the waa waa lady, the so so serious violin player, the horn player with whale lungs and OMG the angel on balcony. just look at all the peoples eyes so into it so much talent!
How could forget the dude slapping two planks together?
It’s incredible!
I have seen you on so many reactions of this song lol!
@@0deepak love seeing people hear it for first time. they also put out a video more recent where they interview the 2 singers. very enjoyable to watch.

Is it an oboe? The reed looks more like a Cor Anglais (ie curved) but I can't see if it has a bell to tell completely though.
@@KurtFrederiksen it's the curve that made me wonder. It has a really nice tone, although the lights didn't do the poor player any favours. Do you remember the programme V?

This band did many movie tracks. Another awesome one is “Once Upon A Time In The West”. Try it, and you will sink all the way into your chair.
thank you! I will add that to my list😎
Band? Sorry to be pedantic, but that's not a "band." That's a professional symphony orchestra.
This Concert has been seen an absolutely absurd amount of times! As another Dane I'm proud of it!
The wah wah was done with her voice and a harmonica together. Amazing effect. Cheers

the hanging man is a reference to a character in film whose suppossed to hung but Clint Eastwood,s character shoots and snaps the rope
this is incredible too ....ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST ENNIO MORRICONE 2002 in Verona _ Italy
About the hanging; it happens alot in the movie Good Bad, & the Ugly.
The prop of the man hanging is of another Italian movie in which Client Eastwood was in also. The movie was "Hang'm high" more great music.
Great video choice! THAT.. was an amazing performance! (It would be pointless for me to add to that) Except: Loved your attentive and insightful reaction!
The most iconic western ever made

That's an English Horn, guys, not an oboe (it's a cousin to the oboe, but not an oboe).

Ennio Morricone wrote this masterpiece, and many others.
And of course the base/drums is the rythm of hooves.
Nice job enjoy your commentary thank you
Grazie Ennio Morricone, R.I.P.
Countless individual hours had to go into a production like this. Absolutely spellbinding.
As of 12/31/2021 this performance has over 91 million views from their web site. Has to be some kind of record!
That so called oboe is apparently an english horn a nice guy corrected me. But equally difficult and hard to master. So nice. :-)
awesome
Hello from The Netherlands, thank you.
The hanging is a referrence to a scene in the movie!!
