We are sad to hear of the death of composer Ennio Morricone. We have all been touched by his music, not just that for films, like The Mission and Cinema Paradiso for which he is most celebrated but also by his concert music, like his Voca Dal Silenzio, a cantata written in response to September 11th. Morricone was able to please not just cinema audiences, but “absolute music” enthusiasts too.
His writing for whistling and in particular for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly will always have a special place in our hearts.
Addio Signor Morricone. Grazie per la musica.
Maybe worth paying tribute I think!
How about honoring his pass by "The wild Horde - My Name is Nobody"?
He was one of my favourite composers, writing incredibly beautiful music over decades; I'm really sad about his passing. I hope he would have winkingly enjoyed your rendition of his early master piece.
When I learnt the death of Master Morricone today, I thought about your interpretation of this movie music... I saw him in concert 2 years ago: it was magic! you are propelled into the film through music. Master Morricone said that a film is 50% of visual, and the other 50% is the music. Thank you Master.
tribute medley would be best
Who is listening to this in 2024 ? 🥰🥰🥰😂💞
Second time today 😊
Just spoke to someone last week who said they saw this group in person and they were amazing. That’s why I’m checking them out on YT. 😊
I just saw them live near San Antonio TX, They played Boerne Performing arts series
English eejits who think they are doing something special by copying a come-all-ye.
Me! That is great.
Him laughing in the midst of performance makes this video so real and adorable!!!
I have been loving this music ever since the movie and I can't get tired of it....yes, the fellow laughing in it just makes it that much more enjoyable!!!!! 5:06
I’m listening to this brilliant arrangement in 2024
I was cried when I watch it in 2022, it is a legend music for cowboys !!!
Who else wanted to hear just the small bit, but stayed for the whole vid?
I legitimately didn't know the video was up when it was man.
I did. Don't know why. It just happened... somehow...
Me
Me too
Anthony Campbell love it!
That man is a grandmaster of whistling.
Exactly.. i was stunned 😳
when I saw them live many years ago, he whistled a classical piece of music, prefaced by the story that, when he auditioned for the ukulele orchestra, he didn't play the uke at all and instead whistled them that same classical tune. He was offered the job on the spot, I believe.
except when he's laughing..
Jonty is a whistling legend.
fact
The good the bad and the ugly. The best western movie of all time! My favorite movie.
Watch the detailed analysis of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on my channel!
I have been listening to this exact video for over 10 years! I love it! Every person has a special participation needed to perform such a perfect outcome here. I thank you all for giving us a wonderful performance.
Glad it's not just me
And particularly those no longer with us, so sadly missed.
@@philipkennedy8692😅😅😅😅😅😅 1:12 😊
That guy has some sick whistling skills damn !!!!
Ajay Xavier ua-cam.com/video/c2KIYjGIeUo/v-deo.html
Those were exactly my thoughts!
Whistling and smiling together is nearly impossible.
@@HuyenTran-pk5yr I love to hear your if you can. To me his perfromance is awesome.
Just discovered this orchestra...ENTRANCED!!!
This is now 11 years old, and I am still watching it at least once a month. Brilliant and talented, humourous musicians.
have u done this month?? If not u better hurry bc this month is almost over. If i were u id definitely not want to lose this 11 yr streak
Caballo sin nombre,
13 years ago now 2023, still fantastic !!!
unforgettable @@jeffhughes6167
Listen to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra who originally performed this music for the movie. Many get goosebumps listening to their The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme music. This orchestra sounds like crap in comparison.
The whistle broke and how flawlessly the group covered the flaw. Wonderful !! The whistle was too sweet and melodious.
I wonder if it wasn't that he knew what was coming up and he couldn't contain his smile. This was a great cover of a great song.
The whistler is spot on. AWESOME.
he is a great whilstler
Ben Webster that's nothing compared to what he can do. I've seen them live, he's an absolute whistle virtuoso!
athull08 id love to see them in the flesh
athull08 do you know his name?
සමීර කුමාරසිංහ
Jonty Bankes. I know all their names.
He sure is :)
13 years later, still a pleasure to hear this beautiful piece of work :)
Thank you
I've watched this vid so many times. Still, the cracking of the whistling man always gets me.
Edit : I was not expecting this much likes. Thank you all ✋
Me too
Sap tawng va thiam 🙊🤣🤣
he so cutee
Oh! Me too! 💕
Me too
This group while infinitely talented with their music are also so effortlessly charming and funny.
Ikr as group they click just right!
🎉😊😊😊🤠
Ennio Morricone would have love it.
"All of a sudden I heard the paintive cry of a Mexican girl."
"Orl right my lover?"
That absolutely cracked me up.
Who else thinks the laugh at 3:41 added an artistic touch on this masterpiece 😁😁
that's added a human touch
HE'S SO ADORABLE
@@bishaldey5339 indeed he is🤓
the whole crowd
@@klikitzsmith8416 apparently ..
The whistling is really hard to do as you need to be pitch perfect to start with. But the added pressure is if you even begin to smile - the whistle goes out the window. You simply can NOT whistle and smile or laugh at the same time.And how could you not smile through this. So endearing. I love it
True.
If I practice whistling enough, my chops come back. However, on an SM 58 under the gun on stage or similar? REALLY difficult. I appreciate his whistling chops. AND, how many women do you know who whistle, compared to men? I reckon not many. I am a proud woman whistler. :)
@@WeFrost62 Is it more difficult for women to whistle?
I never thought a human can whistle so agilely and perfectly.
@@MaxxMcGeePrivate no
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve listened to this yet it’s still so much fun and so enjoyable!
I somehow never tire of listening and seeing this video again and again compulsively over the decade. It's such a stupendous and brilliant performance.
Who is still listening to this in 2022. 🤩🤩😍😍
2024......and still going with it!
That whistling was smooth as butter.
Very nice :-)
butter isnt smooth its soft
+andrew smith You obviously have never rubbed your whole body with butter and slid around on the kitchen tiles.
I don't think that butter is quite that smooth.
@@varietyyachtsvessels6769 this debate shall flounder no longer, for the hundred days hath passed! So: why must we polarise this buttery debate? Can things not be soft áńď smooth simultaneously? Can we not at least establish whether say, most smooth things are soft, or perhaps at least, most soft things are smooth?
at 2:30 i just cant understand how can you whistle that smooth..
practice, I can do that too.... because when you love this song..you want to do that part soooooo muccccch. Keep tryin' you'll get it!
With practice you can whistle continuously for some time.
You can whistle while breathing in too. You pick a point where there's a hard note change and change direction of the air flow.
You can then whistle continuously until you get cramp in your jaw or your lips/mouth dry up.
Anchoring the tip of your tongue against your teeth helps with the control. At least that's how I do it.
guys i know how to whistle but i just cant whistle that smooth :)
the reverb on the mic helps but damn that's still pretty impressive whistling.
11 years later still a masterpiece
A true sense of blissfulness
This is brilliant. Close your eyes and you'll be there at nighttime round the camp fire with all the sounds. Best version ever.
I'd be giggling like crazy.
I have to believe you never listened to very many other versions then.
Ennio Morricone just won Oscar cant believe that he should've won long ago
+Emad Wolf soo true
+james ekka 好
There are two kinds of people in this world; those who appreciate Morricone and those who dig. Those who dislike, dig. He is one serious composer.
he should've won like some 10 oscars
A few years ago I had the distinct pleasure of being their driver for five days. I will never forget how gracious, kind and generous they were. They inspired me to pick up the uke but alas, arthritis has taken its toll so instead, I now play the stereo. I wish them all well with a happy and prosperous future. Maybe we'll see each other again.
Lovely post, Dave. Hope you're well.
Ha ! 🧡🤣💜
@@notreallydavid Wife and I survived bouts with Covid, now semiretired; no longer driving coach.
It portrays a graceful generation that is leaving and leaving sonorous pearls to calm and cheer hearts. I'm from 1955. Sergipe Brazil.
This song is timeless.I've been loving it for so long because it shows how humanity has grown away from empathy😢
Best soundtrack ever made.
Ennio Morricone is the best.
There's no Second opinion about that
The mission
may he rest in peace
As they supposedly say in the UK...Bloody Brilliant.
Can confirm this is true.
Sometimes daily!
Ben Garfield absoutely bang on old chap, this is English romanticism for a good old date young fellow, very good music for fornication and all
or gurt mint me ole babbs
Spoken like a true Bristolian sir.
My Engineering Tech. teacher showed this to us in high school, and I’ve been addicted to it ever since!
3:45 he knows it coming hahaha
Yes, yes indeed hahaha
3:40
I knew what you meant before checking the timestamp
Everything is predefined
whistler guy.....great!
+dinn9012 this is nothing compared to what he can do. I saw them live, he's a whistle virtuoso!
@@athull08 I wish if I see their live performance
@@samtenda9815 Search "Ukulele Orchestra Whistling Bach" to see what he can do.
Glad to have found this.
How the hell has it taken ne till late 2023 to discover this brilliant little masterpiece of music??
The British sense of humour is unparalleled. I couldn't stop laughing while watching. You are great.
Same.
@@lastpen5605 but the the ensemble is called ukelele orchestra of *great britian*. would think that they are british.
It's funny and brilliant . So British!
@@lastpen5605 et f
Unfortunately, Maestro Ennio Morricone has disappeared today. I came to listen to this beautiful tribute to console myself. Congratulations to all the orchestral players
Same 😢
Disappeared?
@@fernandaabreu5625 it means he died you dumbass.
He is a legend in movie soundtrack ... thank you Mr Morricone for all the memories !!!
Was he found ? Ik m late
I could never tire of this.
I love you guys' rendition!❤
2020 and its still amazing
our band teacher sent us this during quarantine
Com certeza!!!
Continua Incrível.
No one is intersested in what year you are listening to this.
Greetings from Leamington, Ontario, Canada, March 13th.
The piece is still amazing. Only 2020 isn't 😷
Whenever I feel depressed I see this just to see the cute smile laugh of that whistle man…May God give him a good life….❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm a Film History professor who has had his first Ukulele lesson today.
Oh my god, this is perfect for me! Such a marvelous rendition of a great classic!
😍🥰❤️🪕🎼🎶
This performance never gets old.
That whistler, damn... But seriously, I thought this was gonna be a bit corny. But nothing short of world class.
He’s helped quite a bit by electronic effects.
@@pbwbrian53 You're wrong, that whistling is nothing short of original. don't you dare put my Jonty Bankes down. He is a lovely lad. If you can't do what he can, that's your problem, and if you are jealous that you can't do it yourself, that's your problem. Leave my Jonty Bankes alone. (That's told you)
Ben Tukow There’s definitely some echo, but maybe that’s just the hall. No offense intended.
Your username could describe my neighbors for the next 20 miles
Ennio Morricone is a genius
Excellent!
É o tipo de ser humano que deveria viver eternamente.
Isso é uma sinfonia para os meus ouvidos... clássico é clássico...
Well everyone…..hot damn! That was just exquisite. Lots of musical talent in the group and a fine tribute to the GREAT Ennio Morricone.
My life has been made better for being able to watch this :D
That laugh is a trademark! I feel most of us comeback to watch that part some of the day.
Muchas gracias maestro JONTI BANKES por tu aportacion con el magistral silbido, sin tu agradable presencia, sonrisa y sentido del humor esta interpretacion no hubiera sido lo que es. ❤❤❤
All of them are amazing ! The ... whistle error makes it UNIQUE .
Blew me away! one of my all time fav songs from the great Ennio Morricone.
+Anil Pillai Ennio Morricone also wrote the soundtrack of John Carpenter's The Thing. Amazing.
anlipilai
+James Anderson He did write a soundtrack but John Carpenter scrapped it and used only small parts of it and repeating a lot. Morricone didn't like what he had done.

RIP Ennio Morricone. Genius
He is a legend in movie soundtrack ... thank you Mr Morricone for all the memories !!!
Loved it, Happy music. Utah
They always appear to be having so much fun
Wonderfully typical British insanity - great humour and musicianship. I'm developing a liking for the Uke now :)
Thanks to the ukulele orchestra and the danish symphony
They made our life better than before...
Pensei qui era americanos.
You need to watch the royal marine bands version too.
R.I.P Kitty. Thanks for the music.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is my favorite Western of all times - and this is my favorite cover performance. If I've watched this once over the years, I've watched it at least a hundred times.
Loved this. The guy on the end who couldn't help laughing, was adorable!!
(RIP) Ennio Morricone. Your name will live forever.
A true legend. He turned some decent movies into legends, that have resulted in legendary recreations.
Simply stunning
I listen to this every morning. Its the only thing that gets me out of bed each day. I wish my life was better, but this music sure makes me feel like it is.
The guitarist is adorable! Not to mention a fantastic whistler! Just love it when he cracks up!
that's a bass
Bass ukulele, not guitar, only 4 strings
@@turtlemama888 That's a standard acoustic bass guitar, which have 4 bass strings (not ukulele strings).
My husband has the same bass guitar. Bass ukulele isn't necessary as only play single notes, not chords. It is a bass guitar.
Thank you all for setting me straight! Back then, I didn’t know any better. ☺️
3:39 I love how he cracks down :D
Mee tooo
junxxx yeah, that bit always brings me a smile everytime I'm watching this video
Same here! :) LOL
He's thinking about the guy at 3:52
God bless Ennio Morricone!!!!
Thank you and BRAVO, all!!!!
I was thinking there would be no "Waaa-Waaa" but this came through with flying colors. Clint Eastwwod, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach are proud of you.
This put the biggest smile on my face.
I love this group. In June I bought our daughter a Ukulele for her 43rd birthday. She already has a guitar and her flute from when she played in her high school band and orchestra. She loves the uke. She lives in another state, and the other day she played a song for us on her ukulele. We listened by phone. Loved it and love her. I love the humor from this group and the talent they have. Keep up the good work gang.
Gracias kitty Lux por tu maravillosa vision al crear "una orquesta" de ukuleles se que al pricipio solo fue diversion, pero tu vision fue mas alla! Ya no estas entre nosotros, pero tu vision y arte siquen aqui...con los que amamos la Orquesta de ukuleles de GB y sobre todo esta maravillosa version de "El malo, el bueno y el feo"
WOW!! Incredible. I have such a deeper appreciation of this piece now seeing it performed live. Astounding. ❤
Anyone Listening in 2020?? Amazing right?
Eu também
Absolutely!
Yes sir!
here ✋
Yep still here
Great musicians, great humour...wonderfull, many thanks !
This is March 2023 and this remarkably funny recreation of the Ennio Morricone's iconic melody by Ukulele Orchestra is still soulful, sincere, spellbinding, superb, sizzling, sweet and simply spectacular. ❤❤
My Dear friend shared this clip he's sadly gone excellent music
Always wondered why such a small nation harbored such endless musical talent. It's staggering.
For the same reason that such a small nation helped, as many others, shape the modern world as it is today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy#Culture
GREAT Britain for a reason, check the Pub Landlord’s explanation
Shouldn't it be a how rather than a why?
WOW
Brilliant version of a great tune by one of the world's best musical groups.
From a 71yo Aussie fan.
I watch this video almost daily because of the whistling stud, but I’ve watched so many of their videos I love them all!
When i was 12 years old,
I watched my sister perform a dance to the original version of this
As part of the talent section to the Miss Chinatown USA Pageant,
Held in San Francisco
Somehow
This reminds me
Some say that she should have won for her musical choice alone
Enjoy the great orchestra in the sky, Signor Morricone.
I have watched this video so many times . The man who whistles does it so beautifully. And at one point his whistle cracks and he smiles and so does the audience . Every time I watch that part I too smile as if it happened just now . This group is very good .
If only I could 'like' this as often as I've played it over the last 12 years.......still great to watch and listen to every single time.
A great performance.
*In the description* "this video has been watched over 2 million times, but was deleted" now it has 9 million view!

I used to be obsessed with this video when I was seven. I’m sixteen now and I suddenly remembered it. I still love it
Ennio Morricone’s music is fabulous. And the Ukelele Orchestra has a great vibe. I love it!
This has become my favorite version of this.
Thank you Ennio Morricone. Your music will always make me feel at home.
Love when the whistler biegins to laugh, 3:40......superbe version!
S E N S A C I O N A L ... Hukulele Orchestra Great Britain ! I'm Brasiliano ! Congratulations ! - Lázaro Evangelista.
Still my fave edition of this song.
"The ukulele orchestra of Great Britain" Every word in that name makes it sound so much better and so much more unbelievable :D
This youtube video has been a favorite of mine for many years. Yes, still listening in 2019. Always glad to come back and listen again.
Reminds me of many road-trips I did while listening to this live performance
me too
Me too! I bought a Ukulele but sold it. I think it is harder to learn then a French Horn. I'll stick to my French Horn.
I also.💓
@@kreativabanjavrujici 😊
Ukelele with human whistle sounds great!
Guys are so creative!!!
Poor fool. That was no human whistling. The sound engineers were baffled.
I've never seen or heard anything quite like it, which should be taken as a compliment...!
anyone listening
in 2019???????? It will never get old.... :)
Listening and loving everything they do. Great music and great fun. Despite our best attempts to look the most stupid nation in the world at the moment sometimes the UK comes up with a small piece of utter brilliance and class.
Listening and enjoying
I just shared it on facebook.
