Anitras' Dance (Peer Gynt)

[esgnrjnjgu]

I should be doing my homework, but I just can't stop listening xD

[MusicMasterNumber1]

Why ain't they no lyrics ;P

[MrRoffl]

@MusicMasterNumber1

why should there be? it's more than amazing without it, i never heard it with lyrics anyway, so i dunno if there are some

[snowmister2]

the beginning is supposed to be pianoooooo

[skogsgud]

jaa,ska slå.ska berre bryna orve

[alaannao2]

wonderful

[iBr00talxd]

iHave this onmy old phone c:

[fozzyqwerty]

Best Quest For Glory song.

[pand0nium]

@fozzyqwerty In QFG4 there are more classical songs to be heard. I still have QFG4 in my personal list as one of the best atmospheric games... Awesome waterpainted scenery, and Grieg as main soundtrack... Can't go wrong

[honzamistrhudby]

good XD

[HATwins]

My middle name is Anitra :)

[TheStevenOoi]

@HATwins Anitra was a seductress who tried to trick Peer Gynt O_O

[BlackBird8964]

I play this on my piano... It's such a beautiful piece... :)

(Sorry about my bad English!)

[omarnug]

@BlackBird8964 Pero vamos... Si es perfecto! Y estoy de acuerdo contigo. Lindísima.

Por cierto, también me gusta esta 'versión jazz' (by the way, I like this jazzy version too): watch?v=hb18WaS-2Lg#t=40s

[BlackBird8964]

@omarnug Menos mal que hablás español!! Jajajaj. Me gusta mucho leer en inglés, pero me trabo cuando hablo, jaja.

Ahora la escucho! Gracias por el dato!

[kosuzuk2425]

I love this music.

Makes me happy

[MetalOnAPlane]

Takes me back to my younger years touring Mordavia.

[abracadaverous]

@MetalOnAPlane Ah, yes! Remember that garlicky goulash at the inn? I do recall having trouble sleeping at night, though...

[Ka2Spider1]

Been looking for this piece forever! Used to be an old polyphonic ringtone on an OLD phone, and I remember loving it. So glad I remembered it was from Peer Gynt.

[simmer9431]

Interesting... our string orchestra is playing this and they have better intonation. But then again, theyalso have about 25 students :)

[alaannao2]

My favorite song on classical music for 20 years.

[Dominickbmusic]

So as it seems... This youtube account is the conductor and violonist's of this video?

Then, congratulations sir, very good work. :)

Lately I'm working on my own classical compositions, orchestral. (not on youtube yet) And I love it. Hope to get these into movies etc someday. ^^

Orchestral music is so powerfull, I can never focus my composer mind between cool rock-ish movie music or simple classical power. haha I guess I have to do both..

[wolffe93]

is peer gynt a suite?

but almost every song of grieg seems to be in peer gynt

can anybody explain me that?

[KyuchiBeri]

I love this piece! J'adore ce morceau de musique!!

[Italblessings]

Superb!

[Anonymous5009]

Oh dear, this song was in Quest For Glory 4 wasn't it... major nostalgia rush

[MetalOnAPlane]

@Anonymous5009 Yes!! The Mordavia inn had excellent taste in music :D

[Vietpaw]

Amazing! We have to play this for our next concert at our school. O w o;

[Italblessings]

Bravo!!

[classicvinylbiz]

The Duke Ellington / Billy Strayhorn arrangement, performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra:

watch?v=J0odN0NSrIs

Thanks and regards to all

[hohaia01]

someone's violin is flat!!

[kinggambitabc]

a bit out of tune, but well done

[Atias5]

This piece only sounds right to me with the large string part. It just doesn't seem to work with a full orchestra.

[HailThyDrumKit]

Hagl Norge

[LaurenMusicx]

I'm doing this for my Junior Cert.. Exciting. :)

[Backlashxox]

tell me bout it :( music mocks tomorrow, good luck, im screwed lol

[parodycreator25]

@LaurenMusicx i'm playing this for a play from the drama club. we're doing the pied piper of hamelin. i'm the pied piper so i must know this piece and others from peer gynt to play them.

[GlueNoob]

I can play it..

[abbyxoxo1234]

i didn't know they had a ballet variation for this.

[CobHatecrewNor]

its cool to find old norwegian music in other countries :D

awesome performance

[mikaylareise70853449]

I'm going to be learning this soon, I'm learning it for a hamilton place concert

[chumadala]

donde puedo encontrar la obra entera en teatral...soy de españa!!

[Cipiropio]

Toda la música de la obra Peer Gynt, es muy bonita.

[PsychoTails]

someone should make a remix about this

[Aidtox]

There are other arrangements. The band im playing in are gonna play a jazz version of this next Sunday. Its Awsome

[queekers]

Listen to Duke Ellington's version.

[illusionswithstryker]

always makes me think of quest for glory 4

[PATRUZKA1]

is amazing .....

[recoome219]

very good

notice that the conductor is playing as well

what skill!

[richtomes]

...and arranging the chairs and the stands and filming with two cameras and a sound recorder during a live concert also... I love to multitask

[4Topwood]

@recoome219

Yes, yes, the conductor is play and conducting. Very impressive. But Glenn Gould would have been doing all that and humming, too.

[dugfowlr]

This and several other parts of Grieg's Peer Gynt were used in the 1940's radio program "Let's Pretend."

[dorkfaceflutexo]

love this piece.

we played it in my middle schools honors band.

ahh. sometimes i miss middle school for that reason.

[lilbrando9082]

im also playing it for middle scchool

[BuzzyLox]

I first heard this music from a Van Johnson movie The Pied Piper.

[BeautifulMusic1000]

this is cool!

[ninfea234]

I love this music!!

beautiful

[AndrewKFletcher]

A tonic for the soul, well performed Bravo

[SuperJwa]

i have to pla for string orchestra at school

[killfest24]

I love this song! :D

[NeonKid1000]

^^ wonderful

[DanTheManMonty15]

what key is that in?

[richtomes]

A minor

[marbleblue]

@richtomes Even the bit at 2:41? ;)

[fadeout012]

@marbleblue Technically, yes, the actual key signature never changes. Only the accidentals :P

[Collezionistadigufi]

La mistica danza della misteriosa figlia di un sultano, della quale Peer si innamorerà: tutta la scena è ritratta magistralmente dal genio di Grieg, attraverso un saggio utilizzo degli archi.

[bengily]

impresionante produce muchos sentimientos este compositor ,y aun sigo pensando que mas que mozart. es magico como mozart pero gynt produce mas sentimientos

[AiLoveMusic]

Gosh I love this song... : )

I must learn how to play this on the piano!

[Clicli20000]

E' un pezzo bellissimo!!!

It's a beautiful piece!!!

l'ho fatta cn il piano

[yeexiaolong]

3:34 something sounds wrong

Love this song though

[BronxBornBroad]

Beautiful, feminine, alluring, unforgettable!!

[chickenjojo]

feminine? i'm hearing both sexes in this.

[bengily]

HERMOSA

[simonegaas]

I play this on guitar;)

[thomas991220]

I like this song. :) This is on my cellphone ringtone.A beautiful song :)

[Wakizarzi]

It's on mine too :o

[thomas991220]

Cool :D

[0netnet0]

i played this on piano :P

[safire4real]

thats the jam right there

[DontYouKnowWh0iAm]

we listened to it in music and it's stuck in my head. xP

[Blaaabie1123]

A beautifull song !!!

[thabanimedia]

im studing this song in school its 6/8 and they use triangles and strings

[noraofnorth]

I didn't understand that, but maybe your'e right. Strange, though, since my teacher said that it's the same...Not that it really matters ;p ;D

[festher2]

Basicly it's exactly the same, it just depends on which one is easier to write down in notes: 3/4 or 6/8.

[perelandra1]

I'm sorry, but really IT'S NOT the same. Because it's Music, no Maths. The accent is different! 3/4 is to count 3 times two eighths. And 6/8 is to count 2 times triples (three eighths). So dudemansam4189 is right...

[1234schimmel1234]

could anyone help me analyse the song? do you know what kind of instruments they use, and is the tact 3/4 or 4/4?

Thanks :)

[noraofnorth]

its 3/4 ;D or 6/8, but that's the same ;D

[perelandra1]

1234schimmel1234 asked for the instruments: violins, violas, cellos, german flute and triangle making special accents.

[mattthepie]

All 6/8 is is 2/4 without having to bother marking the triplets.

[AndreaTorrA]

mmm... Anitras´Dance no es mucho sin VIOLA....

[x13MrsGerardWay13x]

I love this song! My orchestra is preforming it, however, we do the high parts too [no highs for 1st violin for thsi group] that was the one thing that made me a bit dissappointed. I really do love the whole piece and certain parts were a bit dissapointing. But this was good nonetheless.

[brian2889]

Lovely music played by human beings. A computer could play it perfectly in tune, but it would sound sterile. I have perfect pitch, but am not bothered if a tune is played slighly out of tune. With so many unfretted unstruments, it must be impossible to get them all in tune.

[YoYoSmileALot]

Haha same here, Isn't it normally in Bb? It sounds like A here.

[horuhe89]

que bbonito como tocan me dan envidia, en verdad los felicito mucho. son nu buen grupo

[goodkufu]

yeah no string is exactly the same if you tune it to a tuner its 17 cents of and if you do it double stopping with your a string its 3 cents of its really hard to tell which is which but this orchestra was pretty much in tune.

[jlkittyus]

We're playing this in our orchestra! It's a beautiful song, but so much better live.

[DevilMaster]

The first time I read the name of this song I was thoroughly confused, because "anitra" means "duck" in Italian. I still get the image of a dancing and quacking duck in my mind when I hear the passage from 0:26 to 0:31.

[WannaAhug]

:D lol

[slipknotmetal66666]

duck is anatra in italian i think :p

[DevilMaster]

It can be said both ways, "anatra" is the most common.

[dubaijazz]

'anitra' in 'peer gynt' is an arabian princess; her name is not really an arab name. but it's how the writer of the play (who's norwegian, and never been to an arab country) had imagined a female arab name to sound!

amazing isn't it? :)

[Javielle]

Some of them are out of tune. I love the piece though, well played.

[nevets1926]

strings are never all in tune.lol

[fatneech]

My names Anitra! woop

[AXESHREDDER21]

my orchestar plays this WAY faster than this and the 1st violin prt is hard at the speed we play it

[Aeoen]

That would be impossible to dance to...

[AXESHREDDER21]

its not like its got no rythm or anything its just faster

[Aeoen]

I'm just saying that would making it really difficult to dance to.

[mattthepie]

It's a fast waltz, why is that hard to dance to?

[BronxBornBroad]

Beautiful! Feminine yet exotic! A joy to hear!

[biancek]

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVE Bojnice 4ewer

[shar018]

were some parts at the back being octaved down? yeah it is kinda out of tune at some some parts, nevertheless it was averagely good :]

[martinkoklingacik]

Oh gosh, that is out of tune a lot. But maybe satisfactory for high school band... Not enough for my precious ears to listen to :D

[strawberryzits]

um... they nned to work on being in tune. Whatever. Cool song i love grieg

[thewizardofARGH]

bit out of tune to be honest

[BankaiUchiha]

is amazing

[animeluver3500]

I love this piece!!!

[ivanrpetrov]

The violonist who is standing, is the hand-master at the same time!

[kalduglun]

I won my day! i am discovering that many famous pieces i heard in my life were in fact Grieg's ones. I am happy to be less ignorant today. Thanks to Richtomes and youtube.

[Firepalm1234]

moi aussi....

[petrakis1124]

M tin kratiki to pe3ame auto etsi??Prin 2 xronia

[nanaflute4ever]

I enjoed it!! this music is relaxing ;p xxx woow!

[LaManchagirl2008]

it is butiful and well played. I enjoyed the music.

[juantopo1]

que bueno que descubri estas composicones, son tan reconfortantes, a la gente le tendria que llegar mas de esta musica de algun modo u otro.

[BabyboyTyrese]

[asx99]

[Dwazedas]

I hate to say this, but somebody should have tuned ...

[XxMoodyMooxX]

That Was Good!

[SEC753]

[veronicayen]

Would love to share with you our Anitra's Dance creative version!

Wish you'll enjoy it!

[sachacmoi]

[PRsuperdj]

[ugur520]

it is wonderful

[CaptainGenocide]

Been looking for this song all day! Fantastic.

[takemetotwilight]

wow...i must say that i was impressed...you see im in 8th grade and we played this song in all-county but it wasn't at the same level....the cellos weren't rocking...but like i 'll always love this piece and the way you were playing it just looked like you were having fun!

[stoppolution]

Sorry to say that but it's all a bit out of tune...;/

[richtomes]

True, but it lives !

[ctirtiaux]

Aaaaah I love this composition <3 Thanks u

[jogoma91]

this is a bad arrange cello's dont play solos but i liked  this performance

[richtomes]

Thanks arturoxx. Yes, the sound on YouTube always comes about half a second late. I posted 'Anitra's Dance' before I learned to correct for the delay by advancing the sound half a second before uploading.

Anyone who wants co-ordinated sound and video on YouTube has to do this, using a video edit program.

[arturoxx]

Very nice, but... Is it me, or sometimes they're not coordinated? (0:55 and 1:06 for instance)

[Cooley35]

thats how it is supposed to sound I have performed this a few times.

[arturoxx]

The way i remember it was... i don't know how to put it in words... smoother and a bit faster.
