It'll take you about 16 years to actually understand the plot entirely, but it's so good. I still don't have an entire grasp on it.
Basically rose wanted to curse Pearl And she failed after 4 Reincarnations then they meet again
@@notme8652 the fact that it can be condensed to 15 words just tests how well it's understood
@@notme8652 Also the plot might not actually be the point and it could all be a metaphor for depression, addiction, ADD, etc
For piano nerds, Dave Malloy wrote a musical fantasia about Rachmaninoff called Preludes. He structures a lot of the music around Rach's most famous peices (Rach 2 etc)
Grace Anderson I love Preludes!
Grace Anderson I really love it! (Especially lilacs)
Yes yes! Preludes is so good!!! It’s basically about Rachmaninoff’s 4 year writers block and it’s genius.
It crazy to hear Family Meeting cuz Brittain Ashford in Great Comet plays Sonya. The quiet and speaks for her mind in one song. In Ghost Quartet, shes a 7 year old telling her dad that he’s going to die in like 30 years and should just continuing drinking.
Fun fact about these awesome orchestrations: all instruments in the score are played by the four performers! The instrumentation (with the original musicians) is:
Brent Arnold (vocals, cello, guitar, erhu, dulcimer, percussion)
Brittain Ashford (vocals, autoharp, keyboard, percussion)
Gelsey Bell (vocals, metallophone, Celtic harp, accordion, percussion)
Dave Malloy (vocals, piano, keyboard, ukulele, percussion)
Gelsey Bell also happens to be a New Music (with capital N and M) composer, who writes a lot of awesome out-there music. She was the one screeching in The Photograph, so she also has a really cool extended technique background! Brittain Ashford also writes really nice indie music (on autoharp, which is my favorite freaking instrument in the world).
I wonder what his reaction to "Photograph" was. Now that song is a ride. Gelsey ladies and gentlemen
SodaPop. Soph 😂 YES
No one:
Gelsey: AHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHJHJHFKJLSHSGFAKJDG
I honestly love how you can just pick out like the chords that are used in the songs and like can tell all these musical things just by listening to the songs like I’ve seen you do it in some other videos too and i just think it’s so cool
Haha, thank you!
Listen to Hadestown! Amber Gray is Persephone in the new album
Dave Malloy is a genius
I love everything dave Malloy does
Dave Malloy is an absolute genius!
Hadestown is really neat, and one of my number one recommendations always. It was originally a song cycle about the story of Orpheus and Eurydice (maybe more of a concept album?) Lyrically it draws a lot of inspiration from Greek Lyric poetry, and musically it's folksy and full of cool harmonies, inspired by southern jazz and the great depression. There are two versions, the concept album featuring Bon Iver as Orpheus, and a live cast album that was just released today! The concept album is my favorite, but I haven't listened to the live version enough to tell how I feel about it yet. The live version is more like a musical and has a pretty coherent plot, although they're still making tons of edits to try and prep it for Broadway.
hehehe
Im so glad you liked Ghost Quartet! It's one my favorites!
once you delve into the story there's no way back
I have been listening to this musical, reading the synopsis and having people explain the story and I still have no idea what this musical is about
@@Mineingsimmer everyone is somebody else. the pusher is the bear. the photographer is rose.
My friends and I are seeing this tomorrow and I'm ecstatic! Dave is easily my favorite composer and Gelsey Bell (the woman singing Tango Dancer who also played Princess Mary in Great Comet) has my favorite voice because like you said, it's so raw. I'm so glad you like it!
His reaction to Gelsey tho
You should listen to Preludes! It’s another one by Dave Malloy
Dave Malloy's acapella show "Octet" released its soundtrack recently, and I think it's much better than "In Transit", it's described as a "chamber choir" musical
I love this musical/song cycle so much and am so happy it’s getting the attention it deserves. I strongly prefer the live version however (even with the weird notes in “bad men”- but the lights were literally turned off for that one.) My favorite song in the entire thing would be very difficult to chose- somewhere between starchild/ usher part 3/ the photograph/ subway and The Wind & Rain. It’s so difficult to choose *especially* with the amazing harmonies.
You might also like Preludes... it’s Dave Malloy too.
This show is so good and all of the lyrics are on the website genius with commentary from Dave Malloy and it is such a cool experience to read through that so if you like the show I would v much recommend doing that bc WOW do I have a new appreciation for Usher Part 3 like the story happening there is so cool and dark? Anyway it’s v nice to see other people talk about the billion layers of awesomeness in Malloy shows :)
I love Ghost Quartet so much!!!! Thank you so much for checking it out!! I feel like hardly anyone knows about it, which is really a shame
Tango Dancer is absolutely my favourite song
I LOVE U FOR LOVING THIS KEVIN
IVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST
You should listen to preludes! Also by DAVE Malloy
I absolutely adore Ghost Quartet. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I KNEW you would love it!! Isn't it incredible? I know other people have recommended it but Preludes is ALSO by Dave Malloy and is pretty interesting as well!
I can’t wait for his next musical to come out so you can here it!
Preludes next!!! Lilacs will knock your socks off!
it's so cool to see someone who understands and appreciates music discover ghost quartet and all of it weirdness
Have you listened to Fun Home?
Edit: Also, you know what you might love? Whisper house.
Sascha Is my name i was just about to comment about fun home!!
PLEASE LISTEN TO PRELUDES !
You know what is weird.....
I just finished listening to this like right now... wow
I love ghost quartet! It's being performed in New York this month! I'm dying to see it! It's a 9:30 show too, if I do remember correctly! I was just listening to it again last night when I was alone. Very creepy.
So glad you liked it! Maybe you should try “Venice”? I know it doesn’t sound like Ghost Quartet, but I think it’s another breath of fresh air
They are performing in New York right now!!!
Fucking FINALLY
I love this music !!! Holy crap it’s soo good . I’m glad you like it too !! I know you hate idina, but what about looking at if/then
HAJRHE YES IM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED IT !
React to Preludes! It's another one of Dave Malloys fantastic shows
PLEASE DO MORE GHOST QUARTET VIDEOS!!!
Listen to Hadestown it’s great sound and from what I’ve listened to it’s amazing
Also Band’s Visit!
DAVE MALLOYS OCTET
Listen to Hadestown and Preludes. Also the live recording of Ghost Quartet that's on Spotify, it's a lot better imo and has the scenes in it as well.
i feel like at some point you should do a livestream where you actually listen to one of these albums fully. if it's live you won't need to edit it!!!
Murder Ballad is pretty good
"I'd be here about 9 hours" if 7 hours of editing is what it takes I never want to be famous
I've never clicked on a video so fast
I love four friends
are you going to listen to bonnie and clyde or jekyll and hyde? you might have already heard both tho
0:48 SAME
1:26 not gonna lie it looks like he's doing something else than chewin hay
I remember you from the live stream!
Lol! I still love your videos!
Wtf is a "song cycle" anyway? I'm legit asking, guys
If you liked this you should also listen to Hadestown.
Both of the girls in the show were in great comet!
You should react to the songs of Bombshell and Hit List from Smash!
You should listen to Dolls of New Albion! It has a somewhat similar tone
It's not too similar to ghost Quartet, other than the fact that it's pretty obscure and 'weird' but either way, it's so good (and has two sequels) PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AAHH
Candy Treble oh my god i love dolls (i was in it!) but it’s such a mess plot wise!
Review 42nd Street!!
If you lived great comet, well your in the right place man.
I want to see him react to Usher Pt. 3
Have you listened to starlight express? Assuming you haven't you should review it
Offah.. yesss... Wednesday
listen to hadestown please!!! it's on spotify and it's very good
React to Matilda the musical!!
Listen to BIG FISH you will love it
i love ghost quartet but it confuses me so much
yup same
PRELUDES PLS
plss react to Elegies, by William Finn, it’s hard to get a good recording, but 100% worth the listen
Amelie
please listen to emojiland the musical
I have... and a video is coming out sooooonn :)
hECK YEAH
Maybe shouldn’t use ‘picking cotton’ as a simile? Like I know what you mean, but it’s a bit outdated and could be offensive to some. Still like your videos though!
