Not sure what symphony this is but the performance is really incredible. This piece of music was what Made Frank Zappa want to write music, according to his aurtobigraphy.
@CiZination You will understand when you're older. The first time I listen to this I was 13, and it meant nothing to me. After listening to it constantly I woke up, and it was revelatory. Sorry for my english.
WOW. reading the caption is really weird because i was stonededly watching 200 Motels and a song reminded me of ionisation, which i only know because i was going to be in a percussion ensemble at ucsc and started learning this but it eff'd with my schedule.
@jdbrown371 Not all young musicians smoke pot, and I doubt these people did, at least not at the time of this performance. It does not boost musical proficiency.
That comment just defines you as an ignorant person with no interest/understanding in music outside what's played on the radio. To call a genre stupid is to mock all the people that likes it. It's ok to dislike certain genres, but to say it's stupid, crap etc is just ignorant. This piece is actually one of the first pieces written for percussion ensemble. It's a very important piece historically and musically it's par with anything thats been written after it.
Not a symphony... Ionisation is a percussion piece for thirteen players, considered pioneer in the use of electronic devices to create new sounds in academic music (in this case, the sirens)
That's because of the siren sound. Where I lived before all the dogs of my block (yes, ALL OF THEM) started to howl at the same time, every time the firemen of the neighborhood passed near by with the siren ON... and that was almost every day, pretty annoying... XD
then your dog is a coward. "Beauty in music is too often confused with something that lets the ears lie back in an easy chair. Many sounds that we are used to do not bother us, and for that reason we are inclined to call them beautiful. Frequently, when a new or unfamiliar work is accepted as beautiful on its first hearing, its fundamental quality is one that tends to put the mind to sleep. Stand up and take your dissonance like a man. I don’t write music for sissies. If music merely repeats itself, and becomes nothing but rote expressions of shallowness, then music will die. Charles Ives 1931
It hard to explore culture today because we are living in a commercial madhouse, culture like politics, or 'truth' is made by those who can scream the loudest. Everything is made of marketing, even dissent is absorbed and neatly packaged with nice labels, commercialised. and so..... Varese still sounds like a new voice
It's amazing that 15 or so people were able to play off the sheet of music - the composition itself is rather nothing - i suppose it could be used as as a soundtrack to someone loosing sanity...
Alright, I was wrong, my brother certainly could not perform this piece. I suppose we all have different tastes in music and what could be beautiful to me could be horrible to someone else and vice versa. So I've decided never to criticise something that I don't know much about again.
John, there's 14 if you count the conductor. I got this on DC++ in 2005, and just for the info, I'm 99% sure Daniel Kawka is the conductor. I saw him conduct a French Ensemble here in São Paulo later that year (by the way, they played Varèse's "Octandre" that evening), and again last year, and I recognized him from this video - he looked pretty much like the same person to me.
Drum ensamble. This is more avant garde, but I was in one in the late 70's in Vancouver WA. I think there were 14 of us, ran by a guy named Delayne Guild(e), it was extraordinary, sight reading only, I wish I had recordings. Thanks for posting. I had no idea this is what Delayne was after until I saw this.
Imagine listening to this for the first time after growing up with R&B, rockabilly, country music and doowop. To the teenaged Frank Zappa it must have sounded on first hearing like it had been written by an alien.
If you can find a copy of the concert conducted in NYC by Leonard Slatkin right after 9/11, you'll hear an interesting piece of history. When Maestro Slatkin conduced the St. Louis Symphony, he had a habit of programming an entirely "modern" piece to start a concert. If the average music lover wanted to hear their pretty Schumann on the second half of the show, they had to sit through the first half. At his concert for 9/11... years after he left the SLSO for the American Orchestra in DC, right in the middle of the show, he programmed a snare drum solo. Bravo, Maestro!
Am I the only one that gets visions of a military march, a bombardment, and at one point a rat being pummeled to death, when listening to this piece? Maybe I need to give it more listens.
i'd say you were getting there. Keep trying... this music is almost a hundred years old. It is not "new" anymore, and you can not only hear Zappa's influences, you can find Varese in a whole bunch of electric blues and rock and roll.
Just a remarkable performance. The courage, the dedication, and the conviction to the score and to the composer are evident in the performers' faces even if you are not clear on the methodology of the performance.
Very courageous to make music that 17 people find enjoyable. Bill Maher said it best, no one puts Frank Zappa on because they want to have a good time. This is in the category.
I'm personally pretty fond of the "organized sound" definition. Despite what many claim, it doesn't necessary exclude a chaotic, random sound-source. The key is selection, if you tune your ears to a washing machine and ignore other audio input, you are acting as a sampling musician. You, the listener, is organizing the sounds. Even John Cage's famous experiments into the limits of music, like 4'33, are organized, just not in the way we are used too.
i used to hate the electronic sound movement, but to be fair the more you listen to it and accept that it really is there you understand why people enjoy it.
+Eliezer Pennywhistler I have read to some authors whose opinion is in that way. Amadeo Roldán had written some little pieces just for percusion before Varèse, but Varèse is who writes a classical piece and universal (in occidental music) only for percusion.
+Roberto Rosillo-vich I was inspired from Ionization to compose a little music piece called "étude pour percussion". You can listen in the next link. I hope you like: myspace.com/rosillo-vich/music/songs
Or the other way around. I like Z's music as the next guy (well, _some_ guys at least) but I do not think eg Holst's "The Planets" sounds as some certain William scores. You know: chronology stuff and such.
well, I know that. FZ was a big fan of varese. One of not too many, at least. I wanted to pinpoint that. Here's a source of inspiration, fz inhaled deeply. Even though fz's music is not listened to by too many people, varese is still more spedial. So fz took varese's ideas and delivered them to a bigger audience.
It's vital and energetic music, I don't really understand what you mean by experimental, often people use that word negatively, and apply it when something sounds random or lacking in familiar structure. As "the father of electronic music" and "organiser of sound" he certainly needed to carry out research and experiment, and his works are the results of this, but they are not just thrown there to see how they will go down.
But forgetsalot, tell me, how much Varese do you know? this is no experiment, it's immediately recognisable as the music of Varese, he has a very distinctive style. But I really don't think it matters how popular it was, is or will become. Have you ever heard the Via Crucis by Liszt? that will never be popular, but it's a masterpiece.
Do you know Ameriques? I think it could be defined already as a 20th century classic. You say that you know very little of his music, perhaps you need to get to know his world a bit better, to get in tune with his logic, his influence on many other composers is well documented (testified). .
Experimental you call it? call it what you like, it won't solve the problems of the world for sure, but it's not music for zombies, if it resists commercialisation that is already a great quality
A 1970 MG Midget with bad valve springs, a rusty exhaust, and rod knock sounds pretty similar to this. Also, it's good they had sheet music, it would have really sounded awful without it.
Je trouve ça très bon étant moi-même percussionniste. Je comprends pourquoi Frank Zappa fut impressionné par cette pièce car il fut d'abord un batteur avant de se mettre à la guitare.Bonne écoute!
Yes, musicians tend, sometimes, to be arrogant. But there is in this work an incredible complex analysis behind, and to realize all the turning points, the percussion games and the idea of the moments he processes, it's not easily identifiable. You have to learn in art what it takes to be art. You're not a waste of air, but you need to understand that this is more a game of comprehension rather than just listening. And for that you need to "train" you ear, as musicians normally do.
You mean the maracas just reinforcing the beat (quarter notes) or the ones going "two halfquavers, one quaver"? As for the bar 37, I'm not as mentally challenged as you to count the bars as you did. (Unless you have the score with you, I would call that a very ill passtime.) Then, I'll have to pass that one.
Buddy. It's indeed awful. I guess many people like it just because Zappa did. Some may like it cause it was novelty in it's time. And some just because they like simple minded things. (I like the end part, though, with the bell-like instrument played with wooden hammers, and the "piano everynote hand blows.") Just like that.
Great piece, but terrible recording. Seems like the mic is on a few of the instruments, but the overall balance is entirely screwed up. Basically, this is what it would sound like to someone performing in the orchestra, but not what it should sound like to the audience at some distance from the players.
@pineappaloupe I really don't like this composer. His music can't touch me. I'm a musician (Academically speaking), and I like what I like. I'm not an ignorant of the music just because I don't like Varese, whether I'm capable to understand his music or not. I don't like music because it is prestigious. No one should detract others from their tastes.
I also heard that Zappa liked Baroque music such as Purcell. See Alison Balsom Sound the Trumpet Purcell. Totally unlike this music but worth it to check out Alison and her crazy Baroque Trumpet.
The point of the piece is not for it to sound good. Edgar Varese experimented with music. He went out of bounds, outside the box. He wanted to make something different. If it sounded pleasing to the ear, that was just a happy accident.
I've been hearing about Varese for years but never had the opportunity to hear. Frankly, and I don't want to be dull, this "classic" sounds like the soundtrack to a Tom & Jerry cartoon... I'm disappointed.
Why put up a video with so much noise behind it. This does a disservice to the piece, and the man. If you want to hear this properly then check out Pierre Boulez conducting it, or better still his complete works on cd. This sounds am dram. Sorry folks.
What a sound. Can't get enough of this piece, right down to the conductor's floppy hair. Anyone know who this group is, and whether these ladies need someone to make the tea for them while they tour?
@maxinator09 say what you will, but Ionisation revolutionized percussion writing and music, in general. Without it, you would not have western rhythm performed using modern techniques.

Considering the high intellectual level of comments posted on youtube and their unlikely value may I suggest uploading you content to sites like Vimeo from now on.
This is the first time I've heard an Edgar Varse composition. I can see why Frank Zappa liked him so much. I bet it's really hard to write music like this. And to play it too!
Now I finally understand where Frank Zappa got his inspiration.
+MJmcnult You Got That Right!
Well said
Read his autobiography, he talks about Varese
MJmcnult “yeah but listen to the siren. Don’t you like the siren?”
Zappa to his mom when she told him to turn it off while she was ironing.
Read the book by Zappa
@CiZination
You will understand when you're older. The first time I listen to this I was 13, and it meant nothing to me. After listening to it constantly I woke up, and it was revelatory.
Sorry for my english.
Fascinating piece - Varese was an early experimentalist - well-performed - I love how the videographer puts you right in the middle of the players.
Frank Zappa brought this to the next Level with pieces like the Black Page and Dupree s Paradise
I'd say HR2911 was more Varesian
ua-cam.com/video/Ygif5lVhy-U/v-deo.html
makes me feel really wierd, but this kind of wierd feeling is a great pleasure. Amazing,
WOW. reading the caption is really weird because i was stonededly watching 200 Motels and a song reminded me of ionisation, which i only know because i was going to be in a percussion ensemble at ucsc and started learning this but it eff'd with my schedule.
What is the instrument resembling a large bell, wherein the woman operating it pulls her gloved hand down a string?
Louise
My Dear, In my head a bird sings all night long. Much Love!
Is that Aubrey Plaza on the tandem snare drums?
omfg, the girl playing the snare drum.., im in love
Maestro Man's hair is hilarious! Hirsute histrionics, indeed!
Next listen to "Planet Of The Apes" (1968) Jerry Goldsmith.
@jdbrown371 Not all young musicians smoke pot, and I doubt these people did, at least not at the time of this performance. It does not boost musical proficiency.

This piece is actually one of the first pieces written for percussion ensemble. It's a very important piece historically and musically it's par with anything thats been written after it.
The same way you write the percussions in an orchestra
Etrange musique ...
humans are interesting
Not a symphony... Ionisation is a percussion piece for thirteen players, considered pioneer in the use of electronic devices to create new sounds in academic music (in this case, the sirens)
I'm pretty sure the poster means he/she doesn't know the name of the ensemble performing the piece.
I couldn't finish listening to the whole piece because my dog wouldn't stop howling.
LMAO!!!!
That's because of the siren sound. Where I lived before all the dogs of my block (yes, ALL OF THEM) started to howl at the same time, every time the firemen of the neighborhood passed near by with the siren ON... and that was almost every day, pretty annoying... XD

Charles Ives 1931
well according to Russolo's "Art Of Noise" he was just trying to add to the piece. lol
Hmm, my dog wouldn't START howling.
Frank Zappa LOVED him. He was like his childhood hero. For his fifteenth birthday his gift was to make long-distance phone call Edgard Varese.
This was uploaded a little over a year after UA-cam was created. That is insane.
after it was bought by google*
+MinecraftBysup69 He still gets points as it was started in February, 2005.
+Thecommander248 I give more credit for the Zappa mention.
It probably scared off a million early adopters
Added to resume: Can play piano parts of Varese's Ionisation.
Frank sent me here, that and the deep desire for musical deviation
Lol Google+ lol.
Hang on, I'll send you a link to my MySpace page...
MUSICAL DEVIANT ! Hi ...Nice to meet you !
TO say it with the words of Adrian Belew: "The more I look at it, the more I like it. I do think it's good!"
It hard to explore culture today because we are living in a commercial madhouse, culture like politics, or 'truth' is made by those who can scream the loudest. Everything is made of marketing, even dissent is absorbed and neatly packaged with nice labels, commercialised. and so..... Varese still sounds like a new voice
I like this, there's probably something wrong with me....
No
No
sO quiRkY
Avant-Garde percussion is a truly under appreciated music form. I love it.
It's actually quite surprisingly pleasant to hear.
How long have you been deaf?
It's amazing that 15 or so people were able to play off the sheet of music - the composition itself is rather nothing - i suppose it could be used as as a soundtrack to someone loosing sanity...
Wow...didn't think I would like it, but it didn't seem as random as people were describing. It sounds like 60's science fiction. Good Stuff!
A 1970 MG Midget with bad valve springs, a rusty exhaust, and rod knock sounds pretty similar to this.
I can see the Zappa connection, sounds like this are all over Uncle Meat
Sounds like a fire at a drum school. I love it!
i love u lol
Yah, the usually leave that part out of the videos -- freaks people out, but you can see them all occasionally looking over their shoulders.
🔥🚒👩🚒
I always liked this song. I can't get the melody out of my head.
I hope you got your blood pressure checked way back then...
Lol
It took the man 2 years to compose this?
Sounds like a hotdog falling down the hallway...sexier than a Chinese teapot falling down the stairs...5 out of 5 stars. Viva Edgard and Viva Frank!
this is intense
Alright, I was wrong, my brother certainly could not perform this piece. I suppose we all have different tastes in music and what could be beautiful to me could be horrible to someone else and vice versa. So I've decided never to criticise something that I don't know much about again.

i used to hate the electronic sound movement, but to be fair the more you listen to it and accept that it really is there you understand why people enjoy it.
Nice visuals, but sound-wise and perhaps performance-wise it doesn't come close to my favorite recordings of this piece.
Is it me or does the girl on snare at 2:27 look almost identical to Audrey Plaza?
I believe the conductor in this video is Daniel Kawka. Can anyone confirm this?
Superb ! It was the first composition in the occidental music just for persussion intruments. Amazing !!

Worthwhile to take the time to listen to these Masterpieces.
Or you could just relax and breath it all in as just pure sound - that's neither "good" or "bad".
Sounds like a part off FZ's pieces.
Or the other way around.
I like Z's music as the next guy (well, _some_ guys at least) but I do not think eg Holst's "The Planets" sounds as some certain William scores.

Thanks Frank..
Totally awesome! The first time I've seen this piece performed with all thirteen percussionists.
Well Zappa's stuff (especially the original Mother's) is pretty much equal parts Varese, Doo-Wop, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson and Sea Shantys.
someone read the books.
In the Navy!

Yes, musicians tend, sometimes, to be arrogant. But there is in this work an incredible complex analysis behind, and to realize all the turning points, the percussion games and the idea of the moments he processes, it's not easily identifiable. You have to learn in art what it takes to be art. You're not a waste of air, but you need to understand that this is more a game of comprehension rather than just listening. And for that you need to "train" you ear, as musicians normally do.
Please the name of the orchestra ????????
You mean the maracas just reinforcing the beat (quarter notes) or the ones going "two halfquavers, one quaver"?

Edgar was a great influence on FZ. Two masterful composers who were not afraid to reach for what music could really be,BECAUSE "Music is the Best" FZ
not a fan of obvious sarcasm then?
Comically pretentious. Oh so serious and for what? Oh so very deep! Not really- this type of sonic indulgence went out years ago.
That final decrescendo was amazing, music simply vanished in the air!
I had a dream like this once
