I love this so much. I think this arrangement is a lot more interesting than the original. Switching between the two timbres is purely magical. I want to write a duet for marimba and vibes now. Also you have nice technique. Everything just seems to flow.

Excellent. I prefer these "little" pieces from this early period to his later music, though I do like some of the wilder things. There's something fine and perfect in the balance of these compositions, and this performance gets right to the heart of the matter. Bravo!
Wow, I have to say this was a incredible performance! Not only musically but physically. Your movements are quite graceful, reminiscent of ballet. I can SEE how hard or softly you hit the notes. I am quite amazed by the subtlety and precision of your performance. This makes me want to learn this instrument............ in other words, It's purdy.
absolutley fantastic! your interpretation and performance couldn't have been better, it captured the essence of the original but developed the dream idea really well
DUDE!! this is beautiful....you've inspired me to try the same thing. I have a recital coming up in the fall. Well done if I perform it half as well as you I tihnk it'll be a success.
Do you want to learn what enlightenment really is?Want to really wake up from the lies?Unleash your true psychic powers.Enter THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM and finally get what you've been looking for.
Thanks for putting this up. I've been watching this over and over again. Especially a few months ago, I was very tense over work and it helped me transcend a lot of negative feelings going on in my life. Your arrangement is brilliant with the different instruments. Is that marimba and vibraphones? Thanks!
This is the what you get when you allow the group of nefarious social engineers to take over Culture and turn it into what they want. Culture and Art become nothing but a tool to turn our world into a sea of meanlingless, atheism and indifference. It's value is about of who promotes it, who sells and buys it, and what the "experts" say.
as the piece began a swan floated by on the stream outside my window. I was captured in a bubble of beauty created by the piece on my headphones and the beauty of the world I felt at that moment so lucky to inhabit.
great! i don't understand to much about that, but searching musical pieces for a performance i find this. awsome. i think this is exelent for mi performance... it's in a forest... three widows and the graves... and a child playing. I love pina baush.
I actually do not care to listen to John Cage. I do enjoy his creativity and sometimes draw inspiration from it. I was unaware of the existence of this piece, so thank you for posting this. Love the program note here, it does make me feel like I am listening to Satie.
What a wonderful performance, what a wonderful sound! I truly love this. And I really, really think it is much better than the piano performances I know of. Well done!
I am a percussionist myself in my high school's band and happened across this video during research for a project involving percussion from the 20s-40s. Cage is thus far my favourite composer of the period, and this performance of Dream makes me want to learn to play it myself.
This is an absolutely fantastic adaption of the song for marimba/vibes. Brilliant work on your part, and I definitely think Cage would have approved of your innovative and unconventional use of the music he wrote.
What a wonderful performance. Your playing evokes the humane warmth of Cage's spirit that I think most people miss when they listen to his more "difficult" pieces. Congratulations! Perhaps you should just tell people that you chose the instruments that you did by throwing the I-Ching and that Cage would have most certainly approved.
this is a wonderful interpretation Dr. Stolarik. There is a xylophone of this size in my local music shop and i must annoy the staff by playing it badly but its such a wonderful noise. Perhaps the most underrated of all musical instruments. Is it a xylophone or marimba and what is the difference? anyway, simply lovely.
Exactly. I played right from the piano score and made decisions between vibes and marimba based on what I thought was musically appropriate. Thanks for watching!
@datimpster Umm..so you runied the song by messing whith John Cage's stuff you thought wouldn't be "musically(whatever that is)" appropriate. Theres no such thing as being musically appropriate, Anti-Musik is art too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Merce Cunninlingham, one of the worst dancers and choreographers ever, how can somebody get inspired by that? And I dont find here any reference any reminiscense to Erick Satie. Again. My güevos!!!
you know, this is one of those pieces that those people who claim Cage couldn`t write music never want to talk about, like In a Landscape or Litany for the Whale. and your interpretation is also great, fits both the original piece and a ballet performance, didn`t see the one that the piece was based on, but the flow of the music reminds me of gesturing bodies. take care.
Interesting. However, did John Cage not claim that he does not want "music" to remind his viewer's of anything? Rather that music is a bunch of noise. So then if he based this on a ballet, I suppose this would be one of his works in progress. Still a great composition of noise!
I think Satie got it, and created wonderful stories in time. The fauvist movement in music along with some of Satie's rhetoric created many marvelous moments, and even a world in which to experience these moments. If you ever heard a Balinese orchestra, they sound the best outdoors. I believe this too would also sound best outdoors, without the room acoustics. Now, what would Tom Waits say I I asked him...."What is a song?"
esta es una de las mas bellas interpretacion que he oído del piano, con mucha sollidez, y rescatando la esencia de una obra como "dream". realmente muy placentero!
Very good, I like the interpretation and the different instruments. The only thing that seems iffy for me is that when you use 2 instruments there's too much moving around.
By the way I saw somebody play another Cage piece similar to this (in a landscape I think) on the marimba and it sounded great. His name was Sorensen.
Those of you that don't even consider this music should listen to the notes he's playing and the ambiance created by them and stop anticipating where you think it should go
Well i think only you can relate to that! Why were you felatting a door knob (not nob)?....
Anyway... i rather liked this video.... it's not often i get to see music like this played live round my way. So youtube (agreeing on the bad youtube audio part) shall have to do in the mean time!
Look up definitions for music and you will find ones that say something along the lines of "communication through sound," Something someone is trying to make you feel or think. If he wants to take you on a journey, as you have said maddguizz74. Then this IS music.
he wants to take you on a journey but he is not doing it well. I could listen to a bird chirp or water fall and splash and still receive the same level of appeasement that i get from this song, I'm suggesting , as humans, our superiority in the control and portrayal of music . Mr.Cage's work isnt an adaquit medium for voyage of the senses.
ive studied john cage and his work for quite a bit now and admit that this is nice. this however is not music. you claim to have heard his lectures well then you surely would realise his idealisms when it comes to music. he wishes that people stop trying to control sounds and rather arrange certain ambiences, with no apparent structure to appease the ear thus taking one on a "journey". i however believe that this is a musicians job, to control sound and portray it as a piece.
well, i was under the impression that the 'avant-guardians' were the type of people who liked to create the ambience and free the music. It's music alright, and there are groups of people who follow that belief, and groups that follow your belief of what music is, sir. There is to be no argument as to whether it is music or not. The people who make it call it that, so it is music, otherwise we'd be speculating pointlessly.
there may not be an arguement to as to whether the WORD music captures this piece above as that word can be open for speculation a million times and still no answer would be found, im just saying that my experience of music is that of structured and developed pieces which evoke emotion from beginning to end. Cage's work is based on individual experience of sound. i could give you a sandwhich and call it a roll , it would be endlessly debatable.
You speak very well of experience, but not of feeling. Were this music accompanied or accompanying interpretive dance, as many songs of John Cage's have been, it would be easier to see the development in the music. This music IS structured; is there not a beginning and an end? There are others much like this, listen to In Smyrna by Edward Elgar, which is in the new trinity Guildhall grade 8 Piano exam book. This music does not appeal to everyone, but it is music nontheless.
I realise the structure. I was not saying that is literally just like a bird singing or water falling, but rather like sampling colloquial sounds such as these and portraying it in new environments , in fact i believe i have just described Cage's theory on music. That was excactly my point in the last comment though, it may be music to some but never by my definition or that of many other's. Palpable debate sir thank you.
thank you

ive studied john cage and his work for quite a bit now and admit that this is nice. this however is not music. you claim to have heard his lectures well then you surely would realise his idealisms when it comes to music. he wishes that people stop trying to control sounds and rather arrange certain ambiences, with no apparent structure to appease the ear thus taking one on a "journey". i however believe that this is a musicians job, to control sound and portray it as a piece.

Not music? Maybe you should continue listening to his lectures then, whaddaya say?

well, i was under the impression that the 'avant-guardians' were the type of people who liked to create the ambience and free the music. It's music alright, and there are groups of people who follow that belief, and groups that follow your belief of what music is, sir. There is to be no argument as to whether it is music or not. The people who make it call it that, so it is music, otherwise we'd be speculating pointlessly.

there may not be an arguement to as to whether the WORD music captures this piece above as that word can be open for speculation a million times and still no answer would be found, im just saying that my experience of music is that of structured and developed pieces which evoke emotion from beginning to end. Cage's work is based on individual experience of sound. i could give you a sandwhich and call it a roll , it would be endlessly debatable.

You speak very well of experience, but not of feeling. Were this music accompanied or accompanying interpretive dance, as many songs of John Cage's have been, it would be easier to see the development in the music. This music IS structured; is there not a beginning and an end? There are others much like this, listen to In Smyrna by Edward Elgar, which is in the new trinity Guildhall grade 8 Piano exam book. This music does not appeal to everyone, but it is music nontheless.

I realise the structure. I was not saying that is literally just like a bird singing or water falling, but rather like sampling colloquial sounds such as these and portraying it in new environments , in fact i believe i have just described Cage's theory on music. That was excactly my point in the last comment though, it may be music to some but never by my definition or that of many other's. Palpable debate sir thank you.

What would be the point of having a very specific stipulative definition of music?
