Discussion Topic #1 - What you can find on the "Interweb"

Welcome to our very first VT Band Online Discussion! Each week I will post a question for the students of the program to discuss and share. Obviously, it is important that your responses are well-written and acceptable to be publicly shared. Your ideas will not be evaluated, but you will be graded based on you ability to share ideas using thoughtful and musical language.

So, our first topic...

There are a number of you who have shared different suggestions for music, websites, youtube videos, or mp3s that you think I should see. Share a link for your fellow musicians to look at over the coming week. You are welcome to comment on the suggestions of your peers and let us know what you found useful or exciting also.

Participation is expected prior to 10pm on January 16th.

    The Vegetable Orchestra
    these people make instruments out of vegetables to create a very interesting sounding song. The musicians drill holes in some of the instruments or adjust their embouchure to produce a range of notes. It brings quite a tribal/african touch. Percussionists should definitely check this out!

    The Sorcerer's Apprentice- Fantasia

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK_Px1h3304

    Notice how this cartoon uses no sound effects or dialogue to convey its message. Relying solely on the orchestra, which paints the animation,the effects are enhanced through dynamics, tone, color and balance. For example, listen to the theme played in pizzicato on strings at 4:20min imitating the droplets of water.

    2 Guys 1 Flute - J.S. Bach Badineri

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkJ03vm8FJk

    This video's amazing! Okay, so it's pretty obvious from the name that there's two guys playing one flute; one's the "fingers" and one's the "embouchure." Somehow these two are perfectly in sync with each other, and play the flute as one. The "embouchure" has a great tone and knows when to adjust the airspeed as well as shut the air pathway off with his tongue at the right moments. The "fingers" are extremely fast, as though he's playing a mini piano. Fun fact: There's a National Flute Day, and this is when these two wonderful flutists decided to display their talents to the world!

    Chris Brown Feat. T-Pain - Kiss Kiss By David Sides

    This is one of the covers that he does on piano. I really like how he keeps the essence of the song while adding his own flair. I like how it represents that music can be interpreted in many different ways using a different instrument than intended.

    Aww, you beat me to the 2 Guys 1 Flute video. Now I have only four links to post. Anyways:

    The Nutcracker, PROJECT-style
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf6tuisazQA

    Remember the flute beatboxing man (Greg Patillo) 5 posts ago? He's back with 3 more friends: Eric Stephenson (cello), Peter Seymour (bass), and a playful twist on Tchaikovsky.

    Michele Bowen, aka Lady Bassoon
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ1Nz3UOOas

    An excerpt from Carl Maria Von Weber's "Bassoon Concerto in F, op. 75", played by Michele Bowen for her DMA recital. Watching her succinct articulation and animated yet sensitive phrases really makes me want to play the bassoon… even more.

    Three Little Maids From School Are We
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK6w4wokeTg

    From Gilbert and Sullivan's play "The Mikado" sung by three little, umm, "maids". Includes excellent diction, charismatic acting, precise pitches, and incredible musicality (evident from them singing in the appropriate style despite natural genetic tendencies).

    Pictures At An Exhibition - Hut Of Baba Yaga
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-JjNJAkBZc

    Anna’s favourite (that’s too weak of a word) movement of Mussorgsky’s “Picture At An Exhibition” (orch. arrang. by Ravel). So full of power, so full of balance, so full of undying energy, so full of glorious passion, yet only so many minutes of it :(

    Thomas Tomkins – Too Much I Once Lamented
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KWkgFpG8Zs

    I just remembered this one after I hit the post button. Warning: may sound like sensitive gentle mourning with random episodes of fa la la la la’s, hence the intent. Tomkins wrote this to depict the lifestyle of the time (late 1500’s, early 1600’s)—a time where life was depressing but short, so the people had to be optimistic to enjoy life and grasp what they could.

    Come Again - Sting & Edin Karamazov

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV-QjPuBeg4&feature=related

    My piano teacher showed this to me a couple weeks ago. It's from Sting's 2006 album called 'Songs from the Labyrinth', and showcases the works of the (very) late John Dowland. As you can tell by the use of the lute, the songs on the album are from the Renaissance period - a far cry from Sting's usual 'stuff'. It just goes to show that musicians should keep an open mind and not confine themselves to one genre.

    Take a look at some of Edin's other performances. He's an amazing lutenist/musician ... just loves what he does. -- Random fact: Apparently, my piano teacher knew him from back home. She said, "Oh, he's absolutely crazy, insane. Just amazing ... but he's a bit of a weirdo ..." =p

    Tuba Dragonforce. Without a doubt the fastest tonguing I've ever heard on a tuba.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHMyrhilkdo
    Oystein Baadsvik plays Fnugg Blue with the Stavanger Brass Band. He uses some very interesting techniques such as singing and beatboxing into the tuba to produce sounds that don't sound like they are coming out of a tuba.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX-QcX5ggLc&feature=channel
    Metallica plays One from their album ...And Justice For All with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. This kind of reminded me of Chaos Theory in the way that the performance crosses two different genres that you wouldn't expect to see played together. Also, One exemplifies an extreme change in the tone of a song. The first half is a slow ballad which transitions into super heavy thrash metal that Metallica is known for.

    Marching bands have traditionally been associated with Military Regiments-- often each regiment would have their own.

    In the Netherlands during WWII, there was a bicycle infantry corps-- what's quite interesting was that their band was mounted, too.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL0hNIUBJNQ

    This is an adaptation of the bicycle band tradition for modern theatres- what I find particularly impressive is not that they are playing while riding, but at the same time reading music too!

    This is super intresting, very true, and funny too. Thank you to Ms. Fox for suggesting the jr. orchestra to watch it. It's about a comedian talking about Pachelbel's Canon in D major and how it's not so great to play in an orchestra on a cello as a student. It sort of have words in it, such as "damn".

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

    This one is also funny-ish. It's really cool how he can do the transitions so smoothly from one piece to another really fast. You can also see the different techniques he uses in one piece compared to another one. In the end he ends up riverdancing?, but then he is still able to play the violin while riverdancing which is really cool.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKZITB_r8t0

    This video reminded me of the russian piece we played last year in intermediate band. Mr. Reid said that Rachmaninov had really big hands, and this video demonstrates that in a funny way.

    Okay guys, if you want to hear what a great bassoon sounds like, here are some videos.

    This first one is a Mario medley by a bassoon quartet. The big instrument in the back is a contrabassoon, which is playing the very deep rich sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5d042gZZa4&feature=related

    This is the firebird solo done by a professional bassoonist. Arielle and I can hit the notes but this guy's tone is incredible.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8cG703ngSw&feature=related

    Finally, these guys are pretty silly but they are really good bassoonists. Not to mention they must have incredible arm strength to hold a bassoon up like that without any harness at all. Believe me, bassoons are not lightweight.

    Anyways, I'm mostly into rock music these days, but I thought it was neat how this person took a well known R&B song and totally 'rocked it.' To go from something totally electronically crafted, to making an acoustic AND electric rendition of it must have took quite some work. I also kind of admire how he makes his own videos to go along with it. (warning: it get's a little annoying)

    This is Wynton Marsalis. He is a well-known American trumpet player and composer. The way he plays this song is fantastic. What is amazing is that it's live. It's simply brilliant. He's is flawless at trumpet playing. Enjoy!

    Okay, so far there haven't been many non-youtube links.One that i find extrememly helpful for all the crazy and confusing theory stuff is:

    www.musictheory.net/


    It explains so much about theory and it even has little exercises to do (including ear/note training last time I checked!)

    So there my dull, but hopefully helpful posting :]

    1812 overture by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, a brilliant Russian piece. Similar to Firebird, this piece starts calmer, and in the latter part of part two, gets quite exciting.

    Because my ideas of a Capella Mario Theme song and veggie instruments (DAMN YOU CHERYL!) were already taken, I've been reduced to adding in these: (If they're already there, forgive me. I lack the attention span to read all this.)

    This includes a guy named Jeff Thatcher doing.. vocal drums. Like, beat-boxing, except he looks like he's about to have an aneurysm the whole time. (I flashback to Banff with that solo drum guy who looked very strange while playing.)

    ALSO!

    Because of David, I've been watching how all instruments are made.

    Here are some things to look at:

    I think this is the only good video recording of Chaos Theory on Youtube; can't believe no one posted it yet.

    1.0: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=XE7vURGa548
    2.0: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4IH5mks9Kdw
    3.0: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sOzKlUz
    (I think that the 16th rests on I-onwards in 3.0 are too long and the ending wasn't what I would've expected. But the guitar part was pretty close to the BCM recording.)

    This one's for fun:

    check it out

    This is an exciting, wonderful performance by orchestra philharmonic luganst.

    I think the bagpipe player is excellent, she showed what bagpipes shoud sound like.

    the counterpoint between the bagpipe soloist and the supporting orchestra creates a unsettling atmosphere.

    I guess I'll follow the trend of posting an impressive performance by someone who plays the same instrument as me. Paul Gonsalves on tenor sax:

    http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=GkElnIiE4U4

    Pianist Chilly Gonzales demonstrates the relationship between Major and Minor, comparing it to the relationship between Good and Evil:

    http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsSUQsdPONs

    A catchy tune:

    As for relating that last link to band, it is a good example of the Golden Mean in music. Around two thirds of the way through the song reaches a super sweet climax. Yes.

    This is my favorite band ever! They have an AWESOME tenor sax player(Lee Thompson)and some of their songs are just looney.
    He plays really cool solos in every song, some of which I have tried myself without much luck!

    I found this kind of unusual. I had it sent to me a while back and just relooked at it now. It's a clarinet quartet playing the theme from Super Mario Brothers. They do controlled movements to promote comedy, but those controlled movements are actually hard to do while trying to played a memorized piece and trying to keep rhythm and tone. Both these things, memorizing music and performing movements while playing are tasks needed if we were to do a "Band Play".

    Alright, so I know it's late, but I still want to show people this.
    This is a really intense song, that protrays a feeling or an emotion ; Stress. It's called Stress and it's by Justice.
    This reminds me of Lonely Beach when we have SO much tension. This is when the excitement is through the roof and so many things are going on- the bugle calls, the bass drum, the woodwinds going nutters, etc.

    Have a look, find your ear plugs, whatever.

    I know, this is late but, this is a style of music my elementary school learned to play. Our school was lucky to get to use these instruments and so I thought it would be great to share it with you guys.

    These instruments are marimba's and they orgininated from Zimbabwe.

    This is yundi li playing la campanella which i am currently learning. It is a demanding piece with lots of jumps and scales. Can you belive that piece is just only an etude? Yundi Li takes a virtuoso pianist to a whole new level with his exellent preformance. I would i like to play it at that level though minus the facial expressions.

    My submission isn't late AT ALL...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La2TJJmr8kw

    This is a song I've been obsessed with for a while... "Irish Drinking Songs" is the theme for the 1999 movie "The Boondock Saints" written and directed by Troy Duffy (who also is a guitar player/lead vocalist of a band with the same name). As far as I can tell, the composer is Robert de Vico (score composer for the movie), although I could be wrong.
    This is my favourite irish song, and I think it would be exhillerating to play this, or something like it.

    I recommend both listening to the song itself, and seeing the movie.
