Londonderry Air "Danny Boy" 4:07 - Hudba
Does anyone else tear up just a little bit hearing this piece? This American man does.
yup
Same (Maltese).
This Japanese man also does
There are truly some youth orchestras out there that are world-class. What a masterful performance. Take any orchestra in the world and you won't hear this played any better or with more sentimentality, only equaled. Absolutely gorgeous.
Something wrong with. The sound system query
By far the best orchestral version I've heard. Also makes abundently clear what a difference an amazing conductor makes.
After a loss of a brother , DAN, that performance was moving and at the same time , soothing.
Luck be with you all!
The song starts at 3:58
thanks! I was beginning to wonder.
You're welcome! :)
Thanks... wouldnt have had the patience without the heads up..
@@celieboo That's 3 minutes of my life saved. Wasted 58 secs. Thanks, life is so precious
懐かしい場所へ帰りたくなります。
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。my heart is shaken.
Grainger and this orchestra produced a controlled mellowness..I am sure Grainger would be more than pleased if he had been able to hear youth from his native country perform this composition so well.
I'm drinking right now and if I continue watching, the tears will flow like Niagra. Later. I promise.
I remember having to learn this piece for my orchestration class in college. I was up around midnight and heard it for the first time. Needless to say I was absolutely floored. Such a beautiful piece, I'll always cherish it.
Breathtaking! Especially @ 7:01 when the music swells. It gave me goosebumps.
A wonderful interpretation of "Londonderry Air" (Danny Boy). Thank you very much for sharing this!
I have strong connection with this song. While a Kid I had opportunity to play this song in a church's orchestra, I never forgot this melody and this arrangement performaded by Grainger sound perfect
Such passion and artistry. Magnificent
Simply beautiful.
one of my most favourite songs
Oh my goodness!! This splendid melody, set by Percy Grainger, in the hands of these magnificent musicians literally tugs at the soul, and lifts the spirit in such an indescribable way, that emotion
becomes overwhelming. The song "Danny Boy" was popular during WW2, and I was named after
the title. There were five other Dannys in my first grade class, so as it was impressive then, this
version crowns them all. The words are significant as well. Thank you very much indeed for posting this fine video for many of us to enjoy after the event, and long into the future.
Magnifique.Bravo !
This is a beautiful piece of music performed by gifted and talented young musicians. I was familiar with the song when I used to hear this played as the intro to a very old television show " Make Room for Daddy " featuring Danny Thomas. I then heard this song in the movie " Memphis Belle "
Just the finest version thank you
I am moved to tears
This is a masterpiece. no doubt i wonder where this video has been all my life. beautiful
Played just as I heard it on a radio program back in the 1970s called"candlelight and silver"!!!
This brings me so much joy I absolutely love this
Stunning
Amazing ❤️ God bless you all 🙏🙏
this song always moves me to tears. I'm not british, it's not in my heritage yet it goes right to my heart, and i suspect most hearts.what a great group of young musicians. Thank you
It is most certainly not a British song. Anything but.
This is an Irish song
@@saraho92 how is it not ? It was written by an Englishman in the British isles . Muppet.danny boy
@@fatshamer6349 Written by English lawyer Fredrick Weatherly who never set foot in Ireland, so how is it Irish?
@@georgebarnes8163 The tune is a folk song collected in County Derry, Ireland, in the early 19th century. Like with most folk songs, the tune's authorship is unknown.
Most touching ... don't know how to say ...thank you ...
Londonderry Air Danny Boy is brilliant
Outstanding!
That was brilliant
4:10 for those who just wanna hear the song
Beautiful.
Magnificent!
Excellent performance ! All their time and efforts to be a musician paid off. Thank you for sharing
Gorgeous!
Beautiful piece of sad music,made me cry
One of the most moving tunes ever.
Londonderry air superb
Exquisite
Se uno vuole tentare di capire COS'È la musica...l'interpretazione.... la direzione... beh ascolti QUESTO. Commovente davvero. W VOI!!!
When i listen to this music .i makes me remebering last moments of titanic in the ocean
check out near my god to thee that was a beautiful piece they actually played i believe
The band played this piece in the 1953 film _Titanic._
still think this one of the best rendering of Grainger's Londonderry air
Brilliant!
Love it! 🤔
🔥
Just beautiful. How can it be improved? I don't know.
r/PieceoftheDay featured this piece today, October 25th, 2021.
Intro sounds like something by Dimitri Tiomkin
The memphis belle x
😀😀😀😀
PLEASE! How can I find the scores??? I´m looking for this arrangement like crazy, but I can not find this anywhere. Who can help me? ;-)
Published as "Irish Tune from County Derry" - there are several formats for piano, wind ensemble, and modern arrangements. Be careful which you buy. It sounds like we are hearing the "string orchestra" version here, but he added the horn parts from the full orchestra or band version in on the final line.
They can be purchased here:
String orchestra version: www.jwpepper.com/Irish-Tune-from-County-Derry/2481125.item
Full orchestra: www.jwpepper.com/Irish-Tune-from-County-Derry/2300523.item
Thank you so much! We played already! This version is by Schott & co., London (copyright 1913) and it is really beautiful, not Wagner arrangements!
IMSLP: The horns are optional
Should have played Colonial Song, Grainger's anthem for Australia
I miss the 27th lancers
Song at 4:10
!
even BBC believe it's derry
Doire !
That's because this instrumentation by Percy Grainger is called "Irish Tune from County Derry".
Myles Lawless piss off! You don't all Dublin 'Baile atha Cliath' do you!
5:06 sounds like chorus You Raise Me Up
4:07
More cow bell
Well, but at bar nine Grainger says in a box, “keep up the tone” and they let off the tone. No?
Not enough bass!
or is it.
Colman Reynolds yes it is
Nice but I lack percussions to give a dramatic tone and less nostalgia...why not try ??
Beautiful arrangement and playing.
Has a similar feel to the wonderful scene from Brassed Off.

Very possibly the worst piece of conducting in the history of orchestrated music. Congratulations to the AYO on a superb performance.
I disagree. Without the conductor AYO wld not hv sounded so good. There were many hours of rehearsal and practice guided by the conductor before the actual performance if u know how they work.
Non, non ! 😴💤💤
C'est une ballade ! ce n'est pas une pièce symphonique. Tempo pour une ballade s.v.p...
Ni largo, ni lento, mais andante ou moderato...
No, no ! 😴💤💤
It's a ballad ! this is not a symphonic piece. Tempo for a ballad, please... 😉
nor largo, nor lento, but andante or moderato...
Dany Boy, Irish song that I came to love, doesn’t sound good on orchestra. The music of it get lost with so many instruments.
English song.
40 👎 solless people with no emotion ...How can that be ..
Too much talking,
Too slow
Andy oh maestro, please divulge your wisdom
Andy you try to play it
it's supposed to be about a mother visiting her young son Danny's grave, Danny was killed by the English. it's supposed to be slow.
nah. it's bad
