UMGSO Symphony Orchestra -- Tetris

[Birouk2010]

Il manque l'esprit Russe, cette éphorie généraliser et ce cynisme si caractéristique qu'il ce présente sous une forme patriotique du fatalisme. Cet esprit dans lequel chaque notes relève le plafond des sons et des sens pour nous communiquer l'euphorie qui est celui de ceux qui concevaient ces musiques. Mais sinon belle performance.

[AgentQuinn]

Only Teris B is the true "tetris music". Others are adaptations.

[Cnyaz]

There are several variants of it, all of which are transcription start Nikolai Nekrasov's poem "The Peddlers" (1861). The tune was written to the tune of the Hungarian dance czardas

[chelsealauren2010]

Erm, to the person who said it was unnecessarily loud, you're kind of being a jackass. You didn't listen to any of their other arrangements or you would have noticed that this was the fault of the video recorder, not the orchestra. But, you can just be a jerk if you want.

Great work! It sounds marvelous to me :)

[SpottedJaguar]

This is actually probably the worst orchestral version of the Tetris themes I've ever heard. Honestly. It's a neat song to hear, neat to play on various instruments, but where's the other dynamics of musical mastery in this arrangement? It was all unnecessarily loud. For a University, I would expect a lot more.

[Samuel20BH]

Congratulations!! Very good!!

[walruspictures]

two words:

f*cking awesome

[jumplilolya]

this is actually a famous Russian folk song...which was used in Tetris b/c guess what...Russians created Tetris game!

[denelbh]

looks like tchaikovsky

[FlavioAndPiccoLopez]

@denelbh The theme used for Tetris sounds a lot like Tchaikovsky's 2nd Symphony doesn't it?

[realaNT]

@denelbh haha

[TEHunter1]

I am proud to call you my roommate.

[MegaBoshi]

oh dam its pretty dam good

[Cnyaz]

this is russian folk song "korobeyniki"

[AdmiralPrussia]

I don't even know where to begin on this one. In the beginning, the snare drummer makes it sound like he's flying through some 5/4 hell hole with some of the fills, trombones are way under their partials in a lot of places, and what the hell is a phrase?

[WGBraves24]

I know right? This literally made me cringe.

[fredy385]

I think that the tempo is correct. Since, It's different that the original, but I like the speed.

5 stars

[TheOneInTheFields]

i agree. the tempo was slightly too fast, like you said.

[ForeverGoth]

i think they were nervous

[keysersozeh]

thats strange.. the 1st seconds of play.. it sounds they were playing too fast collectively (good english?)

[mynameisnotalfredo]

I wish they wouldn't call it Tetris theme song. It is Korokeiniki, not Tetris. The Tetris theme A is actually in melodic (correct me if I'm wrong) minor, this is just major.

[whizzmaster3000]

But, not many people actually KNOW it's caled Korokeiniki. It is just commonly known as "Tetris Theme" becase that's what everyone recognises it as. Don't be so critical... it's still good music. =D

[sonicpawnsyou]

Just a little correction ;)

In Russian, it's called 'Коробейники', so it's 'Korobeiniki' for everyone who uses Latin letters. And no, the tetris theme is NOT "Korobeiniki", it just derived from it and sounds very different if you know the original song and the Tetris version.

Have a nice day, everyone :D

[whizzmaster3000]

lol

[AdmiralPrussia]

Finally someone knows the history of the song!

[arandomperson3]

I've never been able to understand the russian script. It's confoozin' to a westerner like me.

[HypnoPants]

@whizzmaster3000

- Korobushka! The Peddlers!

[whizzmaster3000]

@HypnoPants I don't even know what i was talking about anymore... I posted that a year ago. =/

[spaghettiisFOB]

@whizzmaster3000 Dude, it's Korobeiniki.

[whizzmaster3000]

@spaghettiisFOB Read my comment two spaces under yours.

I repeat my statement.

[Smikefliege]

@whizzmaster3000 actually its Korbushka

[whizzmaster3000]

@Smikefliege Did you read my comment through?

[Smikefliege]

@whizzmaster3000 yep

[Cnyaz]

korobeiniki ;) There are several variants of it, all of which are transcription start Nikolai Nekrasov's poem "The Peddlers" (1861). The tune was written to the tune of the Hungarian dance czardas

[Shadmed2]

It's not like you would die if they call it like that. It's been popularized as tetris theme, so it will stay like that for a while.

[MrAndyPandy14]

nobody cares

[citizenerased1991]

they called it "Music from Tetris" which is an accurate discription of the piece :P

[migacz]

Mynameisnotalfredo, consider yourself corrected. First of all, it's Korobeiniki, which is similar, yet not identical to Tetris theme A (which is why Tetris theme A should be called Tetris theme A, and not something else). Besides that, this performance features Tetris themes A and B.

[AdmiralPrussia]

How can you not hear the minor third in between the sixth and seventh scale degree? It's obviously Harmonic Minor.

[KiyoKenshin]

I love it when people do that! It makes me feel good to be a musician. :D

[NinjaPutz]

o my gosh they fuckin rock!!

[12357951]

It was good, but me thinks they sped on some parts. I would take it a little slower on Type A on the song.

[hattasel]

They're not performing the Type A, this is Korobeyniki. Russian folks song, the original score for Type A. :)

Still love the Type A, with techno feels. Cheers!!

[vegeta323463]

not bad

[lepivert]

So hard to play.. korobeiniki. Not so bad but it lakes rythm here.

[samuraiedwin]

I dont know why but it sounds choppy as hell.

[FrustratedAssasin]

Awesome performance.

[ANIMEMANGADRAGON]

hmm scary xD

[pnysk8ter]

sweet perfect i would like to go into one of those but i'm 2 young and not really so perfect with trumpet

[tsong100]

Why there were only one cello and few violins in this "symphony" orchestra? What other symphonic music they have performed, just wondering?

[Tsunark]

Sounded like everybody hit every note perfectly! I really do think everybody did a great job! :P

[WhoaItsJoyce]

Oooo~! SOunds strong :D

Other vids dont have a strong beginning :(

Gewd job crew :P

[OmniSonic]

We definitely need a crash cymbal... that ride just doesn't cut it for those big impacts.

[Floyd5642]

So you're a part of this orchestra? That's pretty cool. What instrument do you play?

[OmniSonic]

I play trombone and electric guitar, but the only song I played guitar for at our last concert was Halo. I'm also arranging some of the songs we're playing next semester.

[Videodark13]

W00T Trombone! I play at my high school and have eyed UMD since age 10. I found your group about a week ago and now I want to go even more.

[OmniSonic]

Awesome! The problem is, a few weeks ago our officers made caps on all the sections and the trombones are full... but, if you were to join it would give me an excuse to play only guitar.
