- Glassbilsfuga! A fun way to refresh my composition and video editing 🎬 skills.
Ever since I moved to Sweden, I kept hearing this sticky jingle, especially in warm summer afternoons. It took me 2 whole years to go ahead and ask a dear friend what in the world this sound was. It turns out it is “glassbilen”, the ice-cream truck. 🍦🚚 So, when at the beginning of the year I challenged myself to compose, learn and record a three part fugue in only 7 days, I knew what the subject of that fugue had to be. I eventually managed in two weeks, not 7 days (by the way), but this has been a hilarious adventure which helped me refresh, among other, my rusty piano and video editing skills! 😃😎
With this level of creativity and sense of humour, there is still hope for this world.
Amazing! Will play it for my 4 year old son tonight (I will ofcourse bring the icecream as a finale)
Tack! Hoppas att din son njuter av fugan...och glassen. 😁 //Josep CA
I'd love some ice cream.
Hope you and your boy are well 🙏🏾 ❤
@@JosepCastanyerAlonsoqué es una fuga? Lo pregunto desde la mayor ignorancia. Gracias.
This deserves to be played by the truck
It's men like this that give me hope for modern classical music continuing on. Bravo!
One more amazing piece.. the execution, the structure, lightness and creativity! And Bach saying "Dude, wtf" was too funny :) please, keep publishing more videos!
Hello there! Your kind words mean a lot to me and I truly appreciate them. I will share more content as frequently as possible, so please stay tuned! 😊 Best regards /Josep CA
@@JosepCastanyerAlonso very glad to hear it! We stay tuned :) Best wishes..
This is really good and funny! As a Swede I feel really proud that we have such amazingly talented musicians - multi-instrumentalists! - in our orchestras.
IKR? I'm not Swedish, so I can only be proud on account of being a fellow human.
I didn't know the source material, but I love how your piece maintains that springy cheeriness that one would associate with an ice cream truck!
I am really glad you like it. 😊 /Josep CA
Love it. Barbie brought me here for an ice-cream treat!
In Finland, we have the same ice cream truck melody! This is awesome!
Not anymore. I haven't heard it in years
Sir: Your musical skills are quite astounding. I graduated from The Eastman School of Music long ago. I myself am a classical musician. It's very very rare to meet a musician of your caliber, even in a major institution. Bravissimo
Wow!
A new Victor Borge! Fantastic
What? 🤯Amazing!
This is the best ice-cream I have ever tasted... I am so happy to listen you now, but I am sorry because of being late 2 years in discovering your genius. Thank you for this inspiring video.
Better late than never! Jokes aside, I really appreciate your comment, thank you. 😊 /Josep CA

Tack så mycket, Emma!
Only just found your channel. It's brilliant. Please do more 'in the style of' as you seem much more adept at this than many. Also, who doesn't love a baroque homage :)
But then again, you're a genius.
I find your compositions stunning and beautiful. How do you bring a tear to my eyes with something with such simple bgninigs? Please continue to compose and release your music, I beg.
Hey Craig, that’s a huge compliment. Thank you so much for that. Something new is coming in a couple of days, so stay tuned! ☺️/Josep CA

You're an absolute musical genius. Have you considered composing operas or ballets? You're amazing.
In Norway, the ice cream truck plays Edvard Grieg

sense of humor and talent!😀😀😀
Amazing. Stunning. You are brilliant. Love the way you tell us what is happening: Keys, chords, fugal voices, Neapolitan 6ths, no less!
grande!
I enjoy the text describing the musical ideas! ^_^ SUBSCRIBED
Thank you! 😊 /Josep CA
Què bo Josep, tot just t'he descobert a tots els matins del món. Super !!
M’alegro molt que t’hagi agradat i moltes gràcies per haver escoltat l’entrevista! 😁/Josep CA
UAU!!!! WOW!!! amazing!🤩
Ennio Morricone did the same once: he created the music for a very popular song in Italy “Se Telefonando” sung by Mina (one of the most popular and talented Italian singers of all time).
He was inspired by listening a siren down the street (from police if I don’t remember wrong) in France 😎
Very well done! Congratulations!
Dios quiero componer algo como esto después de escucharlo! Simplemente increíble
Muchas gracias. 😊
No, you mean:
Dios quiere componer algo así después de escucharlo.
@@speedsterh I meant what I said, although I see why it has led to confusion since I have forgotten the comma between Dios and quiero, where Dios would act as a vocative. It's something that we Spaniards say, but thank you for pointing it out anyway!
It's a amazing worki, congrats for share your talent with us. Please keep doing it
I love your work and the quality of it. It is amazing your excellent level playing the piano being actually cellist !
Fantastiskt! Så intressant att försöka följa med i förklaringarna. Snälla göra en video som förklarar lite mer. Superbra video & musik. Tack.
Hej Tobbe! Vad kul att du gillar det. ☺️ Vad skulle du gärna ha lite mer förklaringar till? //Josep CA
@@JosepCastanyerAlonso Jag försöker förstå musikteori & skulle uppskatta om du i en video förklarade alla benämningar, "fugue " "answer" "Sequence" osv. Vad är det som gör att det kallas "fugue" "answer" "sequnce" etc finns det regler för när det är ett "answer" "sequence" mm? & din egen tankeprocess hur det blev som det blev, dom beslut du tog, vilka val du hade osv etc. Bara en tanke, oavsett vad så uppskattar jag verkligen denna korta video. Tack för en supervideo.
I just discovered your brilliant videos. I subscribed.
Thank you Harry, I really appreciate your comment and thank you so much for subscribing. 😊 /Josep CA
Ofc we have the same sound in Finland
I loved every minute of this, thank you very much, you are an amazing pianist, insta-subbed :D
Thanks for subbing! I hope to upload more stuff every now and then. 😊 /Josep CA
Love the informative editing - awesome work mate.
Thank you, it took some hours to edit! 😅 /Josep CA
Hehe I think my old music teacher told me a story about one who did this live in concert actually. Den härliga glassbils-melodin, never gets old x.D
This is crazy good
Love this! A fun and also useful, probably, way to learn about composition :)
I wish I had had this idea. Not to make youtube videos on this but for fun!
Thanks for the kind comment! 😊 /Josep CA
your pieces are so epic how did you learn to compose like that
Trial and error I guess. 😁 /Josep CA
No ... the wretch is just chock full of ... talent!
One can not learn this from somewhere. Practice is the only way.
You are incredibly talented! I am amazed! (A new subscriber)
Teach me how!
😂
Awesome.
The part at 1:04 is sublime.
Thank you! 😊/Josep CA
I agreee!
So fucking good!!!
Aixo és fantàstic
Genialt! :D
Coole Idee und super umgesetzt 👍👍👍
Well done! And with humour :-) Vilket flyt i spelet också.
This is fricking epic
Vad kul att du tycker om den, Titus! Tack 😊 //Josep CA
😀😀😀👏🏻
Bravissimo! The funniest thing is to hear that truck calling when there's several feet of snow on the ground :p
No danger of the ice cream thawing out!
haha nope! :p@@danielsellers8707
Genius. We had the same truck in Finland with the same sound. But they changed the tune couple years ago. Gone worse. 😄
Kiitos! Alright, I didn’t know they changed it because all my Finnish friends knew the old tune. I will have to check. 😊 /Josep CA
@@JosepCastanyerAlonso ua-cam.com/video/uZmn-yTb8Ho/v-deo.html this is the new one. 🙂
I like the old one more! Haha.
The new one is so lame! I guess the reason is that it's a different company, so they couldn't just use the old tune. Not sure though.
@@Maplaplaplapla Yes the Finnish business has changed hands so they can't use the copyrighted jingle. The Swedish "Hemglass" jingle is a sound trademark like the Intel, Mister Softee, McDonald's, Nokia etc jingles. I know that the Nokia jingle is from a classical guitar piece called Gran Vals by Tarrega.

You are my new Gabriela Montero
The ice cream vans where I live play Swedish Rhapsody.
Oh really, Hugo Alfvén’s “Swedish Rhapsody Nr. 1”? Interesting! Where do you live? ☺️ /Josep CA
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Fantàstic! No soc un expert en música però és clar que tens un talent extraordinari. I el vídeo ha estat molt bonic.
Llegué por curiosidad, pero al ver la camiseta me doy cuenta que joda, ahora me toca suscribirme.
¡Colombia! 😁 /Josep CA
Hej! Jag undrar om det skulle vara möjligt att få noterna på detta stycke 😍😍😍. Det vore så kul att spela den.
Esto es una puta maravilla!
I have a sudden urge for three scoops of ice cream
It’s never a bad time for ice-cream. 😊 /Josep CA
In the US it would be "turkey in the straw."
Maybe it deserves a fugue too? 😊 /Josep CA
Oh, please, can you make a similar piece of masterwork out of the themesong to ”Stora Maskiner”?
You can find it here on UA-cam. I think it would be perfect as a Fuga. 😊
