[carolynopenshaw]

Good God... have played and taught music for 50 years ....THIS is a s good as it gets !

Brings tears to my eyes. Grimethorpe you were / are spectacular !! Thank you.

[Flamorgan]

This tune is not called Danny Boy, it is called Londonderry Air and is much older than the song Danny Boy (Eily Dear) which was only written in 1910.

[johnyasmin13]

That's what you call a film? A great bunch of actors & very very touching storyline. Very sad that pete is no longer with us now? R I P pete!!!

[TheSoulMan8]

Stephen Tompkinson makes this film for me, cracking performance. Also, I find it fantastic that the Grimthorpe Colliery Band, who recorded the music for the film, played this song at Pete Postlethwait's funeral

[FergusTV1]

R.I.P Peter Postlethwaite

[Frazerpatstewart]

[rodneydodson]

RIP Pete it was great working with you...Rodney

[EIBBRay]

it is an alto honr in US usage, in British Brass Band, it's a "Tenor Horn." (hence the quote in the scene "...he says tenor horn's too soft.")

[minigolfer101]

beautiful. but what is the horn at 2:43 ?

[calvin7799]

@minigolfer101 it's alto horn



[sirtom23]

@minigolfer101 the smaller ones are tenor horns and the bigger ones are baritones :)

[MusicalMe281]

Made me cry goddamnit...

[nimpo46]

"it always does when they play this one"

[psychijan]

From one of the most inspirational and touching films I have ever seen

[Dobbertje21]

Deze is voor Gerrit Heeringa, RIP mijn liefste pake en grootste maat :)

[DappsJames]

Perfection. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful.

[MrGhostRare]

That was the most beautiful arrangment of Danny Boy I've ever heard.

[hartleymartin]

Whoever composed this arrangement was a genius.

[ellis12241]

Probably the most emotional composition I've heard to date. Done so well, and played with so much emotion, just because of the brass factor with the beautiful chords. RIP Pete.

[TheDiggster13]

very sad scene. Till end tho'. 'tenor horns too soft' really was a giggler

[anniemur1]

This has to be the most beautiful arrangement I have ever heard,

[Bugleur]

7 bad violonist dislike this video !

[TomyDunne]

christ.. those cornets at 1:20 are beautiful.. somebody knew how to arrange this wonderful piece really well indeed!! beautiful!!

[jttrumpet55]

[ellie1953]

[yorkshiretractors]

oh hi how do you make that out then just a load of posh twats these actors . they made millons out of this film . did they give owt to miners did they fuck . and these greeny dickheads dont live in the real world . this lads was gobbing off all the time about globial warming . then playing a miner how the fuck dose that work then ? dont cry for posh actors . CRY FOR THE WORKING MAN

[Boico101]

@yorkshiretractors The members of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band obviously feel differently, considering they are the ones actually playing in the film.

[nordicberserk]

[chickenlampbrent]

when an old cricketer leaves the crease...

[teflonsuperhero]

"Stop this racket, and you'll end up in the next ward." Perfectly delivered.  An amazing actor, he'll be missed so much.

[ByteCounter]

A truly inspirational actor.

[tomnottim]

[iduefoscari]

R.I.P Peter Postelthwaite -A great actor in this and many other terrific films." The Usual Suspects " " In the Name of the Father" and many more.His potrayal of the evil sergeant in " Sharpe" is one of the finest ever seen on TV.

[Gulftastic]

RIP Pete.

I just heard the news too. Here's to Pete Postlethwaite, with thanks.

[myktyl]

@andrewshere i'll drink to that

[sargwil]

[marktanser]

RIP Pete

[pilchard96]

like a pint and a pie, this film is a must for any brass players.

[rnpcarter]

I bet four string players clicked the dislike button!

[Nilles21778]

Four people work as a nurse at the hospital

[bigbenzon]

That note after he asks whether his heart is beating fast and she says it is and then he says, "it always does when they play this one." Always gives me chills.

[mariussubi]

where can I get the score for this?????HELP!!!:)

[jaw1024]

can't believe, as a trombonist for 10 years ish, that before yesterday I'd never seen this film! What an epic soundtrack

[71259mark]

This scene brings a tear to my eye every time !

[corbridgeowl92]

my favourite film of all time... this is one of the best pieces in the film... love it!

[RenateGloudemans]

they say women often cry at seeing a movie..., well i don't. But i did at seeing this bit of this movie. This is one of the best movies ever. If you haven't seen it yet, go and see it. And I want to say thank you to the british film industry for giving me many hours of great movie experience!!!

[johamkivit]

This one always makes me cry. I played this in a brass band with my father sitting next to. We both played the Euphonium...and we both loved this movie...

For me my father lives on in Danny Boy...

[bfg123HELLO]

i just wacthed this film at school , as we have to do course work on it in Drama class lol :) - but i must say very moving film 

[waxyjay]

yeah, this was superb movie. brits surely can make movies. recommend to watch it !

[maxsamshadow]

I have always loved this piece and to hear a brass band play it makes me melt inside every time! I am just wondering where I can get ahold of this exact arrangement. I would love to get a copy for my library as well as for my family to play.

[pilchard96]

tenor horns are sometimes called baritone horns across the pond :)

[yorkshiretractors]

why dose new labour hate the working class . cos where not middle class and dont push pens and most of us are white DONT VOTE LABOUR THEY HATE THE WHITE WORKING CLASS

[pilchard96]

@yorkshiretractors if new labour hates the white working class, how much do the Tories hate you?

[kevandsue50]

Grimethorpe Colliery Band, you are bloody brilliant.

[SubKontraBas]

@cweil08

It's a Tenor Horn tuned in Eb.

Beautiful instrument, often played in unison with the Flügel horn.

[cweil08]

at 00:30 the guy on the left with the glasses, is that a baritone/euphonium or a transition of a french horn? It looks small for a baritone/euphonium.

[ayboday]

its a euphonium!

[skiwottntottn]

I watched this movie today and almost cried... such a touching scene and an incredible song. <3

[chazsmateII]

@skiwottntottn Let it out, there's no shame.

[1983brucelee]

best song and movie at all time...

[Padzta]

Who wrote this arrangement? Cornets at 1.21 just superb!!

[thetreetreetreetree]

@Padzta Percy Grainger I believe, it's amazing.

[Padzta]

@thetreetreetreetree Cheers

[Digscomics]

This scene just gets me every time. Fantastic movie.

[yorkshiretractors]

labour helps the banks but have done nowt for the folk stuck at airports there dont give a dam about the working class but there love the rick and the bankers

[samswhore]

This is heartbreaking but s moving....i love it :))

[kipperstripes]

goosebumps where I never knew I could get em

[filmhilde66]

It made me cry....I had the movie, I lost it and everytime I see a part of it...I cry!

[StefanVoerding]

I love it in D-Major

[ScottAdams2911]

I must have watched this scene a thousand times, and it STILL chokes me up....

Thanks for uploading!

[toffter]

Magic!! nuff said!

[samueloscar]

the song from 1:21 to 1:44 is a hymnal called he looked beyond my fault.

[THUGGISHDELUXEBEATZ]

1:21 to 1:44

what is that?

[jl39347]

..it's british vibrato...:).....

[Familiar7]

bunch of cornets

[christopherpetch]

very moving

[prolo67]

a true pearl of british film-industry.

[damroc41]

@prolo67 A true master in the making, dont make them like that

[MHSRULES12]

brass rules! go trombones, trumpets, french horns and euphoniums!

[ThETiizzzle]

and tubas

[JimboJohnsy]

and Cornets!!!

[TheNogMusic]

@MHSRULES12 and tuba and fluglehorn and tenor horn and cornet and bass trombone and soprano cornet and baritone

[90eskimo]

@MHSRULES12 This is a British Brass band, so no french horn. they have tenor horns, which is basically an Eb Baritone to replace french horns.

[Emiejg]

@90eskimo no you are right there are no french horns but they are replaced by e flat tenor horns and b flat baritones

[90eskimo]

@Emiejg that is basically what i said, the tenor horn is basically an Eb baritone

[05harbro]

@MHSRULES12

It wouldn't be a true brass band with Trumpets and not Cornets never forget that.

[Emiejg]

@MHSRULES12 french horns aren't in a brass band lol

[pilchard96]

@MHSRULES12 french horns? i am a horn player, but not in a brass band ;) and trumpets for that manner - we play cornets ;)

[lemonfruit9]

@MHSRULES12 not to forget cornets, baritones and the bass =)

[DannySpandl123]

@lemonfruit9 and Tubas

[blobby513]

@MHSRULES12 You forgot tubas!

[BassetHoundTrio]

@MHSRULES12 Don't forget tenor horns! There are no French horns in a British brass band...

:-)

[ve7dcg]

@MHSRULES12

I like your sentiments, but brass bands don't have french horns. And they use cornets, not trumpets.

[mvztvp]

@MHSRULES12 and tuba's :)

[oblivodude]

ah frimthoupe most of my family live here its full yof druggies and drunk peeps

[openmindedatheist]

This is a great piece of music and a great film too.

[openmindedatheist]

Damn good piece of brass that, good song, good tune.

[openmindedatheist]

pardon me but isn't anyone going to comment on the vid? I'm frustrated as the next bloke about how useless Gordon Brown is, but hey this is a fantastic piece of music.

[2329250]

fuck the music we need folk to know what a lying twat brown the clown is he is taxing us to fuck 5mmillon out of work and you say liston to the music good tell you are safe .

[openmindedatheist]

well theres no need to be nasty about it. Can tell you're drunk or degenerate
