      Yep.. there is a bit of perpetuating a self-made myth and image of Oldfield being a pioneering multi-instrumentalist, who did everything himself, and played it all by multi-tracking., All credit to the contributing musicians who didn't get a look in with the videos.

      @@Eustace.h.plimsoll6625 Well the guitar was Mike's forte, but to be fair this tune and Portsmouth also relies on the Wind instruments for the melody, and drums for rhythm. But it looks like it's just one person playing. Mike didn't write it, though as they are very old medieval folk tunes, just modernised and arranged with guitar.

      Alan Ross It's an arrangement of I Saw Three Ships. As someone who plays precisely no instruments my admiration for Mike Oldfield knows no bounds - actually I can do the intro to Smoke on the Water on one string ( which I gather is not how it should be done )

    • @RCassinello
      @RCassinello 4 роки тому +7

    When I told my mom about this 'newly' discovered song a couple of years ago, her answer couldn't be more surprising. Apparently when I was about 4 years old, any time Il Dulci Jubilo played, we danced around the table with cloths in our hands. Waving and skipping 'till the song ended. Haven't stopped listening since. A magical song! With a memory I never knew about.

    When I was 10 y.o, the year 1998-99, my Music teacher show us this video... Inmediately I was completely impressed. One only man playing all those instruments. When I was come to my house i told my father that unreal experience, he goes to his music box and show me Tubular Bells II in a cassette. I heard that masterpiece and I begged my parents to buy more music by Mike Oldfield, my new God. We bought (on CD) Tubular Bells I, remasterized, Tubular Bells III (one of my favourite albums ever) and Guitars. The rest is history.
    Thanks for all this music and for making lot of people dream.

    • @sualdammacsamildanach8154

      To be fair, Mike isn't playing all the instruments. The wind instruments are played by Les Penning, whose face never appears except partially near the end. I'm not sure about on the video, but the drums were also played by someone else on the record. Oldfield and Penning were both responsible for the arrangement of the song. That's not to take anything away from Mike Oldfield - but just not to take anything away from Les Penning.
