The person who arranged this should seriously consider a career in film scoring!

[@thisisthefoxe]

I mean yes, but also considering they work for the military I don't think they will..

[@jrayproductions7790]

Seriously. This is POTC levels of theatrical scoring

[@jrayproductions7790]

@@thisisthefoxe You do know that military isn't permanent, right?

[@JumpingFlapjack]

The Person named: Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) Christoph Scheibling :)

[@anfrm7849]

Probably he or she already is there.

[@FayyaadHendricks]

Soon may the euphonium come
With trombones, tubas, and a snare drum
One day when th'conductor is done
We'll take our horns and blow

[@tanya5322]

Well done

[@GreenClouds-pz5pm]

We’ll leave you all speechless
With our perfect me-lo-dy
We will not let our music pass
Without you hearing it cryyyyyy

the only reason why no one is commenting is because they are all as speachless as me

When I talk about an "Epic Orchestral cover" THIS is what I mean

[@abol2450]

3:14 - 3:19 How the orchestral melody so seamlessly switches from the horns to the trumpets amazes me.

[@calanon534]

I just sat and stared at the German Army Band play an Anglo sea shanty, which turned it from a mere sailor's tune of misery and woe, _to an uplifting, and inspiring score_ fit for the best fictional hero.
Wunderbar. Magnificent. I'm stunned. Keep being awesome.

[@Rosedawn321]

What a FABULOUS arrangement! Sounds like it came right out of Pirates of the Caribbean!

[@DanielNLD]

This masterpiece is causing my daughter (1,5) to stand frozen in front of the TV, absolutely brilliant! After the song she asks me to repeat it.

[@pointlesspublishing5351]

DAS. IST. GENIAL. Respekt. Tolles Arrangement.

[@tlu99]

Ja, kann mich nur anschließen. Wunderbar

[@niklasgermann]

Ist das das Arrangement von Sebastian Middel, oder?

[@mrouth5691]

The drummer is so enjoying himself… such an appropriate arrangement!

[@trcmf]

As someone from the Canadian east coast where shanties are a thing of past and only the folk songs remain I think this is Genius. Next level even.

[@fredneu7645]

To be honest, I was skeptical when this video popped up, but I would like to apologize for my dumbfounded thinking. This arrangement is brilliant and it suits a military band perfectly

[@Sebideluxe]

They surely always had their Hans Zimmer cereal for breakfast. Well done !

[@paddotk]

Holy damn. Those heavy sounds at 1:52, just wonderful

[@h-mh93]

Es spielt das Musikkops der Bundeswehr zum Weltfriedenstag! Es mag ironisch klingen - aber es ist ein Beweis für eine Armee aus der Mitte des Volkes die sich als Mittel zur Verteidigung und Abschreckung begreift - um es eben gar nicht erst zum Krieg kommen zu lassen. Hoffen wir mal alle daß es klappt!
Mein Respekt an die Musiker - tolle Leistung!

[@cobymela]

Finally! Peace in my car during the morning commute between symphonic and kids music!

[@algoy001]

Ich liebe diesen Song. Hab ihn das erste Mal als Version der Marine mit dem Musikkorps Wilhelmshaven gesehen. Aber egal ob am Piano, A capella, auf der Orgel oder wie hier symphonisch, der Wellerman bewegt was in mir, dieses Lied ist einfach klasse und geht ins Ohr.

[@monke5596]

You rarely see saxophones in these things, and they really add to the range of sound and blend with the talent of all the other amazing players

[@justusundjuno6786]

Satter symphonischer Klang, toll!

[@jimmazurek5589]

Beautiful rendition of this old sea shanty. Thanks to all who made this video possible.

[@gerardacronin334]

The song was first recorded in New Zealand in 1971.

[@kirillzakharov7336]

I could listen to this for hours. I am glad its back on UA-cam.

[@KimPlexed]

Rotary valve trumpets, did not expect that.
Absolutely wonderful playing.

[@Flazius]

This is absolutely amazing, and how it "only" has 130K views is beyond me. Well done everyone!

[@afh7689]

It now has 902k!

[@williamtraynor-kean7214]

A first class arrangement, played by first class musicians, deserves a very large Bravo Zulu.

[@bh46356]

this is epic.
this should be in every sailing movie.

[@Pen2Code]

If the intro was extended it will still feel like the Wellerman song but from a different perspective, it will give scale to the journey itself. Love how it eases in introducing the vision of crews aboard the deck🥰🥰🥰.

[@sarosch]

Unreal! I could see waves and men marching and singing. Very powerful piece!

[@danilobojos5245]

I never thought that this song may sound entirely beautiful on orchestra. I used to hear this as score for several cartoon shows watched by our millennial kids…

[@byronking9573]

Outstanding in every respect. Composition and arrangement, performance, conducting, and general showmanship. Very impressive.

[@rene-alain]

Gänsehaut pur

[@lauzarus4313]

What makes me love orchestras is the number of people working TOGETHER to create a masterpiece like this. It is beautiful to see. Orchestras are the thing that makes me love a group of people and cry tears of joy

[@johnjohn-vo3vo]

Mein Herren Gesangsverein! Da ist man gemütlich am Musik hören und dann werden einem musikalisch vom allerfeinsten die Beine unterm Hintern weggezogen, nein weggefegt!!
Wenn Musikanten es schaffen das man sich hinknien muss weil der ganze Körper nur noch aus Gänsehaut besteht…
Und während man mit geschlossenen Augen die Bässe der Bläser genießt….hüpft Kapitän Jack Sparrow besoffen durchs Kopfkino und singt ein Lied welches er gar nicht kennen dürfte…
Herzlichen Dank dafür!!

[@normvw4053]

With or without the words, the message is unmistakable, and the music just as outstanding.

[@theresamnsota3925]

So schön. Hats off to the arranger, because they did an amazing job with the different voicing and using each instrument perfectly.

[@ccm1092]

I didn't know a sea shanty could go this hard. Fantastic!

[@decimatestudios7686]

Wunderbar. Es ist total perfekt. Entschuldigung, mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr guht.

[@nancysilvernail5802]

Yet another splendid version! Love this one too!

[@andreastrembaczowski588]

Wenn jetzt noch eine Bella Ciao Version käme, die so wunderschön klingt...
Respekt für diese Leistung. Klingt 1A.
