Ray Q thx
Playful pizzicato
Ray Q thx
So gay, so Britten. XD
your directions are perfect. Thank you Sah!
Britten conducting Britten. The only way to go.
Everything’s alliteration in this from the title to the movement names to the composer’s own name
Yes! Never noticed that before! You're brilliant!
Wow thanks for that!
And even the person he dedicated to was Audrey Alston! (At least that was her maiden name.)
Maybe that's the whole point of the movement names and the title!
First heard Simple Symphony's "Boisterous Bourrree" (0:00) & "Sentimental Sarabande" (6:32) in a 1986 French film named Mauvais Sang starring Juliette Binoche & Dennis Lavant.
Britten wrote this piece is based on eight melodies or themes that he wrote during his
childhood. He was only about 20 when he finished this piece
En effet ! Cette symphonie est de facture très classique !!!!! Heureusement que Britten a évolué dans une autre direction....
wtf how
Playing this piece in orchestra this year!! It gives me goosebumps.
same. what do u play? i play cello
Brian Misegades Cool! I play the violin.
I also playing this ☺️
Same, but on viola
I play cello, too. It's a great piece.
The slow lament after the Pizzicato brought tears to my eyes.
Cette musique, composée probablement avant 1920, dans son enfance, est déjà moderne. Britten le libertaire y est déjà en germe, potentiellement!!
This piece and some tea after a day at work helps the day to melt away
１９７０年ごろ、私がまだ音楽大学の学生だった頃、弦楽合奏団でこの曲を練習したことがあります。はつらつとした楽想が印象に残っています。もちろん演奏会にもかけました。
Muy interesante el movimiento de staccatto🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻🎶 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
This simple symphony is made of youth themes, re-worked by an experimented miusician to build up a neoclassic work. Prokofiev did the same with his second sonata and its famous "classical" first symphony. This is quite successful since the art of the confirmed comoser puts these elements in interesting order.
Hello everyone, from 2018. Playing this in this year's highschool orchestra.
Me too, in Carnegie Hall! And I'm just an underage freshman
Oh hey I’m in 2020 with my local chamber orchestra
@@laurenarnold813 woooaah, in CARNEGIE HALL??
@@ViniciusLBueno yeah lol
@@laurenarnold813 wooooaa so you're an awesome musician, cuz MY DREAM IS PLAY THERE 😂😍
Great symphony. Great composer. Thumbs up. Hats off...
Written between the age of 10 and 14 years old. Orchestrated when he was 20.
I adore the work of Britten, it is only in the last few years that it subtlety and weaving-nes has captured me, it does seem quintessentially English..
My father, Gilbert Amelio, chose to use much of this symphony for the background music for his “Face of Christ” shown every Good Friday around the world by the 700 Club. He performed the Face of Christ around the world for over 40 years. I remember at the age of 8 helping my father carry the huge bust of clay up the stairs in our house in Warren, Michigan, and into our green Chevy wagon then driving to convents and churches where my father would perform for an hour. Then we would drive the long trip home at night. Looking back today and being blessed to hear this symphony again is so peaceful. Thank you Benjamin Britten for the memories.
One of the best things I've ever played 😢
I'm playing this piece in orchestra right now. It's not easy to play, despite its name "Simple Symphony", but it's a good piece, and pretty fun to play too.
徐非可 Its a Piece, not a song. Songs are sung.
4th movement is easy but the first one is kind of hard to play as a full orchestra
@@timmyd5055 yeah so when we played it my director had to give half the orchestra effects instead of the main part
truth and same 😓
I get to play this with my high school orchestra in Carnegie Hall this spring, I'm very excited
Nice candid photo of the composer.
Superb recording.
So i don't like this typa music, butdamn this piece didn't let me turn it off im so amazed by this. My heart slowed down to hell and even tho im in class i just couldn't stop this from playing, idk what's so special about it but damn i love it...
A dear and lovely piece.....
Man, this piece is amazing! This was my audition piece and now we might be playing it in chamber orchestra this coming year!
Simple yet beautiful
one of the last great composer of the human race
Mr T. commenting on the second movement: "I pizzi the fool!"
So much pain and tragedy in this piece. So powerful
grateful that there's such a super entertaining music on this planet and im glad that i could be part or this thanks thanks thanks!!! long live MUSIK!!!
I love this piece!
Musique magnifique !
Recuerdo mucho esta pieza musical cuando la bailé con la Compañía Nacional De Danza coreografía de la Maestra Nelly Hapee en México
I am playing this in my high school orchestra. It's like the most difficult piece ever, even though it's called simple symphony.
Have you ever played Wagner, Mahler, Richard Strauss in an orchestra? Not mentioned Mozart, Schubert or Beethoven's late works just to name a few.
Simple perhaps but rich in melody and rythym with lovely motifs - its very British, if you know what I mean.
It was my early introduction to ensemble playing and sounds as fresh today as 40 years ago.
B
yes, i completely agree with the strongly british theme. Some of Britten's work reminds me of Vaughan William's, the same sort of complex, layered harmonies, but in my opinion Britten is much more melodic and pioneering.
best special sensation, I like this piece very much. thanks Britten. thanks Scherzo.
Idk y but I love this symphony
came here from my teacher in a google classroom, tune slaps
Love this so much.
Gorgeous music.
The only thing that's "Simple" about this piece is the titles of the movements.
we played this in camp it was the best!
Is there anybody alive now who can compose this well?
Fun to compare this to the Italians of I Musici. Both versions are amazing, but you really get a sense of "national sensibilities." Britten's own version is much more "British" in its understatement and wit, which isn't to diminish I Musici's in the slightest. That version also available on YT; worth a comparison listen.
Thanks for the info - will listen to the I Musici recording. I don't yet know what it's like. But whatever it's like, I would think that the Britten recording has to be the definitive version.
It sounds like a Neo-Classical style, reminiscent of the classical composers like Haydn, although newer sounding too. If you like this, listen to Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 - "Classical".
Except this is very melodic and not ponderous like ye old classics.
Symphony 5 Prokofiev is better
Off to the races, dear Benjamin. Happy St. Patty’s Day!
13:11 - 13:45 ... bellissimo....
4:50 sounds like something that would be made on GarageBand.
Una gran musíca !
Love it! Thanks to your room host. :) I especially like the Saraband. I simply on impulse typed in Scherzo Music and found this channel. I've been working on a keyboard piece called "Skitzo Scherzo" full of short themes that connect in a disconnected way, "skitzo-like." CHEERS!
Excellent 👍
Our high school orchestra teacher is making us play this and I'm pretty excited. Great song selection after some mediocre ones. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the kids who don't practice. I'm probably gonna hit a speed bump with my talent and have to start practicing soon too. I love these challenging pieces that force you to practice cause they make you better, but the only problem is I hate practicing. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
How'd it go?
Well, if you hate practicing maybe it's time to look for something else.
If anyone is interested listening to this piece while watching the whole score
Here it is:

That photo of Britten : - Caption competition time : "So Ben, I heared you weren't very happy about Dudley Moore's impersonation of Peter Pears in ' Beyond The Fringe ' then?" 😳 ( Apparently he was furious!) ua-cam.com/video/5YqgiOj54Ko/v-deo.html
Not convinced about his sense of humour in some respects. It was a great impersonation! 😂
Darn. Ads. How dare you interrupt :((
Ikr
Ok
believed too much on the power of the fourths in 1mv, not?!
aller l'asse
Shame on you for monetizing this so it is interrupted by commercials!
This was uploaded without monetisation, and the rightful owner of the recording claimed it as theirs and decided to put adverts on it for their profit. Without the disclaimer, the video would've been removed by the owner of the recording. Surely you'd rather have an excellent recording of a fantastic piece readily available for you to listen, albeit with a couple of relatively non intrusive adverts, than not have it at all? Have a good day
No, I can buy a cd, the proper way. You were stealing.
I would just like to reiterate what I said, the video was not monetised by me, but by the owner of the recording, which is the studio who recorded it and who sold the disc. UA-cam permits for copyrighted content to stay on it if the owner of the content allows it, which is the case here. The owner of the content may choose to display advertisements on the given content for THEIR profit, not mine. Therefore I am not stealing, I am providing a relatively large amount of people who want to listen to this recording of this piece with a cost free manner to do so, while the owner of the recording consents to this, all the while making a small profit for themselves. Notice that the adverts are conveniently placed in between movements of the piece and so really aren't too disruptive to its flow. Also, I would like to point out that if you consider uploading music to UA-cam stealing, you are only fuelling this seemingly heinous act by watching the videos concerned. I doubt that your sole use of UA-cam is of going to videos like mine and commenting on how the uploaded is stealing, but that you use UA-cam as it is meant to be used, as a free viewing platform for a very diverse range of different forms of media, which countless people make use of and appreciate in a positive manner on a daily basis. I invite you to reflect the next time you decide to comment in a negative manner on a resource so clearly appreciated by many other individuals. Thank you.

Then why the hell are you watching this video then, you hypocrite? If you can buy the CD, then why didn't you? Furthermore, the owner of this recording is probably making a lot more revenue from the advertising money then the would by someone buying the MP3 or CD, especially for an older recording like this. I (and probably most other people if they are collectors) buy used CD's off of Amazon anyway, and don't usually buy new recordings on CD.
+Scherzo Music
True words, but I wouldn't (and didn't) say it as politely as you did. And the funny thing is you and I have probably spent more money on Classical CDs than this person ever will.
IS IT ME, OR ARE THE COMMERCIALS BECOMING EVER MORE INTRUSIVE ON UA-cam? IT IS ESPECIALLY ANNOYING WHEN ADS INTERRUPT VIDEOS SUCH AS THIS ONE. I THINK UA-cam IS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY INTO THEIR AD-FREE SCHEME. THIS ISN'T YOUR FATHER'S UA-cam ANYMORE, IS IT?!
Does anyone notice that metronome clicking at the beginning??
YOLO
yolo
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
