Wynton Marsalis - The Prince of Denmark's March

[dobermanRoxane]

c'est la meilleur version que j'ai entendu, trompette claire et vivante :)

[Scarlett1b]

I want to play this :) what a wonderful song!

[ariastoteles]

La mejor versión de la Entrada del Príncipe de Dinamarca. Bravo, Marsalis!

[rkernell]

Well done! The tempo is excellent which is uncommon for this piece. I wonder if he did the arrangement and orchestration as well?

[lewisnix]

BRILLIANT!!!



[Madabau]

I'm from Indonesia, and study in a school named Canisius College. When it's time to start the class, this music will be played. What an amazing song!

[Space333Cadet]

Winston! I used to play this as a child, really looked up to you! Unfortunately had to stop trumpet because of a tooth accident, still loving the tune tho!

[dbyrne13]

has to play this for my grade 5 trumpet exam :D

[yellowcheckeredtie]

@dbyrne13 I have to play it too are you playing ragamuffin as well

[dbyrne13]

@yellowcheckeredtie nah, this, scherzo (shockingly written study peice) and aragonaisse from carmen :)

[TheGRiiNDcore]

this song made my dick big.

[rockerdriver]

@TheGRiiNDcore LMFAO not the typical reaction to this piece but okay!

[allgoraro]

makes my heart soar! Thank you.

[danishpride1]

It is "Prince of Denmark" because the William Shakespeare play "Hamlet" is also called "The Prince of Denmark"

[wijse]

@danishpride1 Ah there you are wrong it was created in honour of George, Prince of Denmark, consort of Anne, Queen of Great Britain around 1700.

[darknipple]

hey it's my march!

[SoMuchKoolerOnline]

He has a gift and he uses it to bless the socks off us! I could listen to this every day. He takes a musical instrument and makes it sound like pure gold---amazing.

[4Marxism]

This tune was used during the Second World War as a jingle for BBC's broadcasts to occupied Denmark. For this reason it is still well-known in Denmark today.

[walkingguiotine]

its demark not denmark thats offending

[Bjowolf2]

@walkingguiotine

I think we shall probably survive that small error LOL - the important thing is the wonderful music and the virtuoso playing ;-)

I love this music and happy to listen to all sorts of interpretations and this is one of the best. It was originally written for the harpsichord which I heard once long ago and seems weird. My absolute favourite is the version with Hakan Hardenberger, the Swedish virtuoso.

[Organbest]

Interpretazione,chiarissima ed eccezzionale!.

Una delle migliori esecuzioni di questo brano.

Complimenti!!

Sei veramente grande!!

[DenmarkPrinceof144]

this is my theme song you know......no better than Marsalis....

[milolua]

This guy is a genius, PERIOD! I do wish he comes down to Sydney and do a workshop with our young and very talented jazz musicians. Well, here's hoping.

[ElPapasitoLopez]

that is not trumpet voluntary ??

[natbrain]

This song is trumpet voluntary. When Clarke wrote this, it was written as The Prince of Denmark's March. But this is Trumpet Voluntary

[tlewis23829]

it actually called The Prince of Denmark's March. Trumpet Voluntary is the title of several English keyboard pieces from the Baroque era

[gothiccitizen]

oh how beautiful!!!!!

[beccaboop93]

amazing i'm attempting to play this for an audition on thursday :S

[ssnnqq]

Brilliant music..

[bachaddict]

i heard this played at a wedding, then heard it on the radio (with WM playing!) and found out what it was.

[jomomma193]

Colbert Platinum members only!

[hrmkingofpop]

Where do I scan my Colbert Platinum membership card?

[civicdude101]

He's come to my church a couple times in indiana PA

[civicdude101]

People have other opinions, But mine is that Wynton is THE BEST all around in the world at trumpet period.

[KrummyBear]

@insanecaine

He also has devoted his life to the teaching and longevity of jazz music. So before you ramble off some douchey little rant, you should think about how little miles davis cares what others think of him.

[insanecaine]

Who gives a shit what he "devoted" his life to doing - it's exactly that "devotion" to the "longevity" of what HE feels is really " jazz" that is the reason why I call him pompous. He's not doing anything new or interesting. Just merely saying that "all jazz is modern" doesn't mean anything." The way a musician treats another musician say more about the former not the later, regardless of whether later doesn't care -all the more proof the later is a MAN and not a little boy.

[KrummyBear]

Who gives a shit? How about all the people that have decided to pursue a higher level of jazz and trumpet achievement because of him? Omg, he teaches what he believes? No shit, that's because there is no jazz curriculum. Everyone teaches what they believe. "ass beat when he played with the big dogs" Really? Because he played/plays extensively with people like sean jones and wyclif. He is a big dog... You're a silly stupid little joke of a human.

[KrummyBear]

For the record, the way he treated miles, and saying it's "not real jazz music", I'll agree, that was low. But he apologized for it, and it was when he was much younger. Uninteresting improv? Listen to his recording of cherokee on youtube. If you want to call out a douchy jazz trumpeter, you're barking up the wrong tree. Go rip on Arturo or something. Wynton Marsalis is the single best thing in America for jazz education, and in general, the lively hood of the style.

[KrummyBear]

Btw, Art Tatum wouldn't agree with you on any level.

[BSX87]

I'm way better than this guy ;-) No, seriously ... WM is an amazing player.

I'm striving for d ' ' at the moment *LOL*

[Florhusband]

Wynton Marsalis is a great talent - period.

[dergabe]

He makes the trills sound so light and effortless... amazing!

[uwk9200]

In Denmark this tune is called Prins Jørgens March

it was this prince there was married to Princess Anne in England he was called Prins George he was son of the Danish King Frederik the 3.

[gurgast]

Absolutely superbly played -- made the hairs stand up,

Did you know this is the march of the British army's chaplains?

It was played by the BBC while broadcasting to occupied Denmark during the war.

[MrCajohnson1907]

The trill rule is enforced primarily in works later than Clarke's work.

This work lies on the cusp between middle and high Baroque. Conventions are only guides, as my piano professor would say.

[spacerangervyper]

wow. his tone is so amazing <3

[Curlyfunksta]

such a good sound

[f4k3m4n]

..."The Beatles - All too much", and that's how I got here :)

[invertedchords]

Jeremiah Clarke

... was a fantastic composer to have produced this. I pay my homage to him.

[killordie33]

truely amazing. love wynton...

[ChantalHarvey]

surely he is not playing with the orchestra, but playing with a recording in the background?

[StradMan37]

Actually, this tune is from the CD "In Gabriel's Garden". The entire CD was recorded LIVE with the English Chamber Orch, in St. Giles Church, London. Wynton & the orchestra worked to add zillions of grace notes & arpeggios to the 32 pieces recorded on the disk.

A totally unique & astounding effort, & the best CD of trumpet music I've yet to hear.

Mr. Marsalis DANCES over the notes like a band of angels on the head of a pin.

[ggoodo11]

I have been going through your posts and love em. Thank you!!!!!

[headslo]

he starts his trills on the wrong notes.... for that historical period anyway. Which im sure he knows and does it anyway because he knows how much of a badass he really is and can do whatever the hell wants

[fisk7aal]

Your statement is totaly correct, but in the original version no trills is written, it was commen for the perriod to add trills where it might suit.

Great piece indeed

[jarodamo]

lol he did it right @ 2:28

but yeah aren't the trills supposed to start on the upper note in baroque music?

[Azergardash]

Nice trumpet, but barely heard orchestra.

[freshhh1994]

isn't that the point of playing trumpet?

[sergava]

Wow! Amazing ! He's great. Thanks for sharing this sound file with us.

[amazingtrumpet]

Wynton's tone is unbelievable. He is remarkably talented.

[dasheri]

I played this myself in 1980's with a school brass small band (2 trumpet, baritone, trombone, french horn, tuba) but it was titled in our notes as "Trumpet voluntary". Thanks for posting this, the sound of this recording speaks for itself.

[ariastoteles]

The best version of The Prince of Denmark's March. The Timpani's introduction is very true, and the trumpet of Wynton Marsalis is the biggest interpretation in the Whole universe!

[Discodwill]

nah, he killed it. I don't care what you old fogies say.

[rntmaringolo]

pode-se dizer que esta trompetisa toca muito bem braaaaavooo!!!!!!!

[bamatommy]

excellent work

[hierrobar]

Fine work but pitching too high n the lower notes... He is great though, but he doesn't play with the same ease as Maurice...

[DICKdeNORMATITY]

YOU DONT SEE MANY C TRUMPETS DO YUZ?

[Curlyfunksta]

I wanna be just like him!! =D im grade 5 at the mo lol..

[bpretoria]

sensational-you are a genius!

[Duckees61]

omg beutiful!

[GodzillaindaTardis]

Wynton is an AWESOME trumpet player, best in the world in fact.

[NoirMusic]

Define best? Isn't great enough? Do we really have to diss the other 20 or so living trumpet players who are brilliant?

[SPUNKGIVER]

WELL PLAYED WINSTON

[t47l22c31]

*wynton. lol :)

[NoirMusic]

I like Winston better.

[samuelclarinette15]

marsalis o melhor do mundo

[kavvy528]

Finally! What an amazing rendition of this tune! this guy is brilliant :]
