This is pretty awesome. My instrument will come soon. And I'm totally a newbie. But this stupid shut down, why not learn it...not a learning video but still nice....im inspired
Awesome! I'm always happy to see more people getting into the instrument. I'm even happier that I am able to inspire people to learn :D if you are on Facebook, try joining the Ocarina Network group. It's a wonderful community for new players and veterans alike :)
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds superb.. I am trying to learn ocarina too .. any pointers will be appreciated ..including how much time/rough practice hours did it take for you to learn initially when you started?
@@AlwaysBeCurious_Thank you! The ocarina is pretty friendly to start with, but like any other instrument - there's still always someting new to learn. I'd say you can start playing simple tunes after a few days. I have been playing for more than a decade now, but I still learn new things every time I pick an ocarina up :)
I'm looking for musical references for themes for my characters and this fits the main character so well! Thank you so much for playing and uploading this!
You are the reason I’m buying my first ocarina. It’s a little cheap one off of Amazon and I know it won’t be the best but I want to see if the urge to play stays long enough for me but a good one. I can only imagine going out camping and sitting around a burnt out campfire, watching the sun rise on an old log and playing the most gentle and beautiful songs well into mid day, as the sun warms my skin.
i have trekked a many mountains, sailed a many rivers, journeyed with a many fae, and I've come to say... What a beautiful mornin.. Good mornin to ya, mate.
Me who is a Zelda fan and just clicked on it because I saw the word Ocarina. For real though this sounded majestic especially with the forest in the background.
I’ve been playing for 20 mins a day for about two months now... I can definitely see improvement but I can’t wait until I can play even half this well. You’re incredible!
I've been looking for beautiful celtic/folk pieces I can go out into the forest to play. And this is exactly what I've been looking for!! Thank you so much!!!
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds I started playing about 2 years ago. I remember that I was browsing youtube for nice music to listen to while drawing and accidentally stumbled upon this video. I fell in love with the song and the instrument right away. I ordered my first ocarina the next day, some cheap thingy from Aliexpress because I had no money for a proper instrument at the time. Several months later I ordered a proper ocarina from STL (Aria) and this year I got my favorite ocarinas so far: ICO (Imperial City Ocarina) soprano F, alto C, and bass C. I've been playing every day since I got my first ocarina. I like taking an ocarina with me to play outdoors, like finding places with interesting accoustics. Thank you for getting me into playing the ocarina. It made a huge difference in my life.
@@olgamcarrow4553 thank you so very much for sharing your story! Inspiring someone to play is the highest form of compliment I can get. I am really happy to help you decide to learn the instrument. Keep on playing and sharing the love the instrument!
Heck, my sister gave me an ocarina a fair few years back. I gave up trying to play it, but am going to find it and try again; I had no idea they are so pleasing and versatile.
So I am sitting here in Tenerife going through the sounds on my digital piano and this one says Ocarina. I'm thinking what is an Ocarina? So I googled it and there you are playing the Foggy Dew in a forest making me homesick lol. love it. Nice one pal.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Good luck on your ocarina journey :D It's one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I am always happy to see and hear new players.
Glad I found this! I’m looking for good tunes to play on ocarina. I’ve got some Zelda songs, a few Mario ones, but I’ve been looking for something more in this style. Thanks
Beautiful! The beginning almost sounded like the Tarzan soundtrack when he and Jane touch hands. 😁 Come to think of it, that track would sound awesome on the ocarina!
Gorgeous sound and perfect place!! when I plaid my ocarina in the woods, I could not believe how different it sounds. But not exactly like you 😅 I'm trying to learn this song. Thanks for sharing 💚
@@lillybizzo I like small soprano ones like this :D I also do have a compact alto G from Kevin Wright. I think the one I carry most often is a plastic soprano C from Osawa. It's really small and durable.
Hello! This one is a 12 hole Bb Soprano ocarina from OberonOcarinas.com - if you are new to the instrument, I can recommend getting started with ones from Focalink, TNG, or Noble. You should be able to find links to those when you Google them from your local country :D
Very nice music I love it and am looking to get an ocarina similar to that one in the video in terms of sound should I go for a soprano or a tenor and do you have recommendations from Oberon ocarinas sorry for all the questions I’m just new and would like to commit to playing
If you are starting out, I would recommend starting with an Alto C. But if you want a sound similar to the one in the video, it is a soprano - specifically a soprano Bb. Thank you for watching!
@@NM-jq3sv I am happy to hear that you are interested in learning :D I have been playing for more than 10 years now, ocarinas are fairly easy to start learning :)
Solely off this video I want one. Do you have a recommendation where I can buy one like yours? Also, any good song books or references to be able to play such lovely song?
Thank you! I'm glad to hear it made you want one :) Check out Oberon Ocarinas on Etsy or on Facebook. Their ocarinas are individually hand made, so you will have to watch out for availability and expect them to be more expensive than other ocs. As for references, I would recommend Robert Hickman's articles on the Pure Ocarinas blog, his book Serious Ocarina Player, and ofcourse David Erick Ramos's tutorial videos on youtube :)
www.bethsnotesplus.com/2014/06/foggy-dew.html Here's one of the versions available online :D Though, I am playing in a different key; one that better suits this ocarina. Thanks for listening!
Thank you! The one I'm playing here is Oberon :D some of my personal favorites are Kevin Wright Ocarinas, Oberon, Hind Ocarinas, and Hans Rotter ocarinas. I like them for their purer tones, but I also really enjoy the textured tones of classic Budrio ocs like Fabio Menaglio's, and vintage Japanese ones like Aketa and Popolo. As for plastic ocarinas, I'm a big fan of Focalink Osawa and Noble :)
They say he carved it himself, out of a bigger ocarina.
Or so the legend says 😁😂 thank you for tuning in! 😀
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds your sound is like a bird it’s gorgeous.
@@matthewclark4510 thank you!

**LYRICS**
As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dred tattoo
But the Angelus bells o'er the Liffey's swell
Rang out through the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin town
They hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew
'Twas Brittania bade our wild geese go
That small nation's might be free
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
On the shore of the gray North Sea
But had they died by Pearse's side
Or fought with Cathal Brugha
Their names we would keep where the Fenians sleep
'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the year
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At those fearless men, but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
Awesome! Thank you for sharing :D
Cathal Brugha's grandson married my second cousin.
And back through the glen,
I rode again,
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted there with valiant men,
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro
In my dreams I go,
And I kneel and pray, for you
For slavery fled,
Oh, valiant dead,
When you fell in the foggy dew
Cool
Nice thank you for sharing 😊
Enchanting. Tale is that if you play this song long enough, you wind up encircled by dancing fae.
Thank you! I do apologize for the late reply. I was taken out on a quest by the fae shortly after posting this video.
Gorgeous!! Love that you've kept the sounds of the forest in the background - really adds to it
Thank you! Nature is my favorite duet partner :D

There's nothing you can't do with an ocarina!
I want one of these to go to school sit in a corner and appear misterious while I summon an army of raccoons to guard me from the bullies
Thankyou brother. This is music to my soul, ancestry and future.

Thank you very much!
Leprechauns and unicorns are closing in for sure, drawn by the magical sounds. Wait! What's that I saw in the foliage off to the side?
Haha! Thats one of the unicorns who help me with the microphones and the sound mixing. Sometimes, he ends up in the shot. Thank you for listening!
@@ReybenKimWoodwinds My pleasure. I think you captured the essential beauty of the instrument.
I need one.
Damn that’s a nice ocarina, Even better skills!
Thank you! You are too nice 😁
Excellent.
I wish I could buy the same ocarina. I checked the Oberon website but couldn't find the exact one as the one in the video
I tried the site also
Where do I get one like this? I love the sound.
Thanks! THis one was made by Ross and Aerica Dubois of Oberton Ocarinas :) They make fantastic ocarinas; expensive, but worth every penny.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for listening! ☺️
Amazing video, thank you very much for sharing. Is it a loud instrument?
Thank you! It projects well, but it is by no means shrill or loud in a bad way.
This inspired me to buy an ocarina
Hi Rey! Where’d you get that ocarina? I’d like the same size for my daughter as a Christmas Present. Thanks and God bless.
