Hi thanks for your video

What should you do if a score for a piece you want isn't available?

1:33 does the a4 include tuba? I thought shore only used 3 bones in LOTR

i play violin lol, to be honest, i don't really count. i sort of just. freestyle and play whatever sounds right unless im playing a piece, the hardest grade of music i've read and performed in school though is grade 5, it was the 4th moevtn of dvoraks 8th symphony and i was 4th chair 2nd violin

Can you release the first couple you have done,and maybe that will make more people want to sub once they see the quality of it. Especially along with these tips you’ve been posting

What does "on-time" mean? [/sarc]

Was he a guitar player?

Thank you.

Wonderful video about some of the potential of the trombone! I would like to add that as the dynamics increase, the higher overtones of the instrument also increase. This also makes it possible to use the less overtone-rich soft dynamics of the trombone in ways which do not cover up other instruments, including singers. Wagner was an expert at this, and we certainly embrace that role just as much as heroic fortissimos!

Possibly my favorite symphony of all time, so glad to see this oboe part getting some love!

As a auxiliary clarinet player primarily playing bass clarinet, THANK YOU. I’m playing bassoon parts for Harold in Italy and I’m dying over here

i've seen prokofiev use this scoring too! what do you think of replacing contrabassoon with contrabass clarinet (e.g. in a band setting) would it have the sane effect?

As a former clarinetist, that's down-right terrifying.

While the piano may have been invented in the Baroque era, it was not used in classical music until the "Classica"l era (of Mozart and Haydn), and pianos with sustain pedals not until the nineteenth century.

Ehat about veni veni venias?

is there a similar effect when doubling baritone or bass saxophone on top of contrabassoon

Fantastic! I am loving your analyses!

hehehe they named an instrument after me

In the Bolero example, when the melody descends into the low register, the 4th horn is joining in with the 2nd flute and cor englis to continue the "brassier" sound of the trumpet

Erratum: The title card should read "VIb" rather than "Vb."

One thing that's always struck me about Carmina Burana is how organ-like a lot of the textures are. I feel those scoring choices contribute to the impression of antiquity.

Would you consider the fact that the contrabassoon and bass clarinet are written at different dynamics an important detail? Or would you expect the players to balance in a similar way even if both were marked p or pp?

Orff was a rock star. Just listen to the whole Carmina Burana (not just Oh Fortuna but the other pieces). You can easily adapt drums and elec guitars and you get prog rock from the 70s.

I love that you’re covering this piece, I’ve always enjoyed its orchestration! Out of curiosity, what do you think of the orchestration of Orff’s later orchestral-choral works (i.e. Catulli Carmina, Trionfo di Aphrodite)?

I hope you'll make a compilation when the series is over :-)

As a clarinetist used to transposing C parts on site, this tip might also work in reverse. Being able to read Bb parts helps understand what's going on in tenor clef!

Especially helpful when you play bassoon, trombone or violoncello.

Will you be getting into Orff's vocal writing in your guide?

thank you for sharing! this knowledge is very important!

Try to get the WDR 2022 preformance for the audio,it’s my favorite recording of it,I think you’ve used some clips of it in videos already

It's often hard enough to just have one piano in the orchestra, let alone two ^^

Fantastic analysis! Many hugs from Germany.

Hi! I've just watched this video. Is the special price still going on? I mean the combo of your two books. Thanks!

Question- I’m reading through henry brant’s orchestrators handbook and have been reading through other textbooks and Im confused about what it means for a chord to be perfectly balanced. Should there be the same number of pitches amongst instruments, or is it dependent on each instrument + dynamics, or some combination thereof? I love watching your videos, thank you for the educational resources you provide to us students 😁

I would think that Les Noces has been a still greater influence (to the point of quasi-plagiarism)

I am loving your videos!

It's worth mentioning "Cartulli Carmina", Orff's sequel to "Carmina Burana", is scored for voices with 4 pianos and percussion ensemble.

4 pianos!

10:50 to 11:15 - The concert-pitch notes for the E-flat horn shown on the right-half of the screen should be one octave lower. In the old-notation bass clef the notes sound a minor-third higher than written (not a minor-tenth), and in the treble clef (and in the modern-notation bass clef, not shown in the video here) the notes sound a major-sixth lower than written (not a minor-third higher).

I hope you reach 77k soon. I'd love to see this series.

13:56 im guilty of this but i know im just wrong because i understand that instruments are different to play, but at the same time im like "ah f*** it, they can do it, not like theres a big difference," bcs i dont even know the basics of playing a harp just like probably a guitarist trying to compose a music for violin that they have ZERO knowledge of the violin basics sorry harpists haha

Thank you so much for this lesson! I hate Carmina Burana with a burning passion, but there is absolutely a lot to learn from it.

Thank you for the lesson 🙏

The fifth aobve middle C sticks out a bit to me, but that must be because a trumpet is doubled by a horn.

Is there a video for the original recording?

Ecce Gratum may not take its melody from the Medieval song, but it did take its melody from Shave and a Haircut

yes we can?

👏
