ABOUT THE PIECE:
Madeira River by Philip Glass is part of a larger work entitled Aguas da Amazonia that has experienced multiple lives on different musical instruments. Glass’s 12 Pieces for Ballet, originally composed for piano, was arranged by Brazilian musical group Uakti for their own gamut of instruments, many of which were custom-made and built by the performers. This new version of the piece was renamed after the Amazon river and its tributaries. Drawing on both the Uakti arrangement and the original piano music, Third Coast Percussion arranged four of the twelve pieces, exploiting our vast instrument arsenal and experimenting with color blends across the spectrum from “non-pitched” to “pitched” percussion. Arranging Glass’s music pushed us to reimagine familiar material with a different sound palette and offered a chance to live inside the music of one of the most recognized voices in the contemporary classical music world.

ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE:
Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy Award-winning, artist-run quartet of classically-trained percussionists hailing from the great city of Chicago. For over ten years, the ensemble has forged a unique path in the musical landscape with virtuosic, energetic performances that celebrate the extraordinary depth and breadth of musical possibilities in the world of percussion. The ensemble has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (New York Times) performances, the “rare power” (Washington Post) of their recordings, and “an inspirational sense of fun and curiosity” (Minnesota Star-Tribune). The four members of Third Coast are also accomplished teachers, and since 2013, have served as ensemble-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
A direct connection with the audience is at the core of all of Third Coast Percussion’s work, whether the musicians are speaking from the stage about a new piece of music, inviting the audience to play along in a concert or educational performance, or inviting their fans around the world to create new music using one of their free mobile apps.
Third Coast Percussion maintains a busy touring schedule, with past performances in 32 of the 50 states plus Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland, and venues ranging from concert halls at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and De Doelen to clubs and alternative performance spaces such as New York’s Le Poisson Rouge and the National Gallery’s West Garden Court.

It´s about a river, but i feel like i took a rocket to my home planet and i'm leaving all the stages, pieces, trash, all thing that don't belong to me, beind, and when i'm getting there, that's just me and my spacesuit getting back home - AT LAST, I AM BACK HOME!"
I've had this on loop for the last 30 minutes. Bliss.

I am a percussionist myself and the fact that these guys are coming to play at my school soon is just so amazing to me, i think my band teacher had something to do with it because he is a an amazing percussionist too
Lucky my director is a trumpet
I am smitten with this group. I saw them perform w Hubbard Dance Troupe in Berkeley, and thus began my love affair. I can't get enough of this soundscape -- I find it so delicate and alive and attuned. This is the wallpaper I want in my home. So excited that I have tickets to see them in March!
What a weird and wonderful species we are!
Philip Glass works great for Percussion ensemble. The sinthetizer adds more ambient sound, just like if it was a soundtrack for a motion picture. Love it ❤️
Can we give a shout out to the guy in green at the end who gets so into it when switching to marimba
Rewatched the video just for that. And I can totally understand him, as he plays my favourite part of the whole piece
His name's David Skidmore. He's done a bunch of educational videos for concert and orchestral percussion for Vic Firth. Really great videos, too.
@@daultontemplet4016 The best!
what a piece, what a performance!
I particularly loved how the mallet percussionists and keyboardists collaborated with one another, projecting a Portuguese island rendition in Philip Glass style! :)
God bless these men & the composer. Thank you Mr. Glass
This literally sounds like otherworldly music, so cool.
Love this!! "MORE COW BELL!!!"
心が洗われますね...このような美しい曲を是非生で聞いてみたいです...演奏もしてみたいです...
Great texture with the marimba and the ahm glocken
Chris Burt glocks are smaller, that's a vibraphone
He said ahm glock its the huge instrument
@@sapienalien .
Almglocken*
Yayyyy I finally found it :D I saw a rendition of this at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire recently and it was soooo beautiful but I couldn't remember the name until just now
I feel like at least 100 of these views were me! Incredible sensitivity and the balance of sounds creates a trance of musical engagement. Stellar.
Kind of tubular bells just phantastic
Beautiful
Замечательно! Это одна из моих любимых мелодий!
Really haunting and beautiful. You guys have a subtle touch... Good to see you all humbly serving the song..
just wonderful!
Молодцы!

This is amazing. Real music. Thanks.
FANTASTIC!!!❤️
Very nice. We love this👍!!
I wish there was sheet music. This was Beautiful
This may be too late. But, I found this on their website:
Sheet music for Third Coast Percussion's arrangements of Philip Glass's Aguas da Amazonia can be purchased from Hal-Leonard (US), Musicroom (UK), and MusicshopEurope (EU).
Love this!
Brilliant
that is insane!
Unreal. 👍👍👍
Musik entspannt
Super Entspannen
Nice
muito top hein
Masterpiece
Love this❤️
Dang it TCP, you guys are way too awesome.
Good job! Great interpretation!
I just ordered that piece to have it played by my students but would need to know what pitches of almglocken are needed. That would help me very much! Thank you!
Could have been a good three minute intro into a rock piece with drums,bass and electric guitar. But, still good on its own.
Great piece! Really interesting how they sound really good together, even though I heard some dissonant chords here and there that bothers me
Ich lerne das zu verstehen
temazo!
D bell is sharp. ;)
More cowbells!!
What's everyone's opinion of the meter for this piece? I feel most of the time it's triple simple, but by the end, the meter shifts to duple compound or quadruple compound.
What I hear is it starts out in 12/8 (compound) with some interspersed and sometimes superimposed 3/2, and then at 4:34 it changes to 3/4 or 6/4 (simple).
請問那個算是編鐘嗎?
More cowbells !
gaia38ant sorry bud they're almglocken
Both terms are equally correct Bud. Not sorry.
Am I the only person who doesn't know what that huge instrument is? Could someone please tell me?
Inverted - Colors it’s a series of individual instruments. They’re called almglocken
Wheres my Chicago Gang!
Amazing piece, but I wish there were a better ending
So now I have to buy a vibraphone
that keyboardist seems a bit bored lol. other than that it was outstanding
Haha in the beginning yes but then when he switches to the marimba not at all.
I'm sure he wasn't though! :)
I see rivers overflowing...
