if tats derek zhao at the extreme left...great stuff man! awesome...karen briggs (yanni's violinist..the one who played at acropolis..)wud have been proud! great job..keep it up!
Wow. This is simply amazing for a high school performance. To be able to gather such talent and orchestrate such a performance by just ear is remarkable let alone at such a young age. And as a videographer I must say it still sounds spectacular even with a camera that wasn't meant for recording audio at these levels.
I hope every member of this band has continued with their talent.
Great Job, ..YANNI's music always be nice to hear and enjoy to play it....it was a nice perform from you guys...jus take care of some small details like tempo, because a piece like this you don't need to make it in a "high speed" version...cheers!!
The drummer didn't do most of the "solo" that this song has in the drums. He should make more fills to his part to sound great. But anyways the entire song sounds good.
I am truly impressed! It's very hard to find anyone who can arrange an entire piece BY EAR! Congrats! Also, is there any possibility of getting the sheet music for it?? I am an absolutely HUGE Yanni fan, and and trying to learn Violin, and would LOVE to have the music to it. Thanks and again, CONGRATS! Great job!
good actually, but the part where the sound that like a piano somewhere around 1:52, some of that part was out of tune. but the overall was pretty impressive. is this some highschool band? also, if you could post the music sheet for the melody would be awesome. if you have it in alto clef it would be much appreciated by me. but treble clef is fine also.
Wow, hey musicdude1701, would you happen to have the sheet music for the solo part of the violin that was performed? I'd really appreciate it if you could send it to me.
(Every time I listen to this piece of music I found myself hearing (about the middle) the first line of notes in the Christmas hymn "Wenceslaus"... I want to know if Yanni intended this or not...)
This is proof that when you practice, you become great! Also, don't laugh at the person who's at home in their room learning to play an instrument, you just might be buying a ticket to a future concert. Excellent job people!!!! Keep it up.
Congratulations,this is the best school's band performance I've ever seen. Please,let me know about future projects or ideas and,if you want,visit my channel.One more time,Kngratulations and the best,regards from Mexico
WOW. This group is a genius. Are they really a real band / orchestra? I'm a great Yani fan. If Yani heard you attempt to play one of his songs, "Within Attraction", he would be very impressed. Somewhere beyond the audience, Yani & Karen Briggs are smiling at you.....
To play a Yani's musical piece by ear is so amazingly great. Keep up the good work. Yani and Karen Briggs are smiling at you somewhere beyond the audience.
This is an excellent re-make of Yani's song, "Within Attraction". These High School guys are terrific. Not exactly as good as Yani's Orchestra, but very unique. I'm sure that Yani and Karen Briggs are smiling at these yougsters somewhere beyond the audience. Yani may come and congralute them personally. It's beautiful how good a job these youngsters done to keep Yani's music sounding great.
I'm sure somewhere, Karen Briggs is smiling. I'm sure Yani is very impressed. Sounds just like Yani, but at a faster pace. expect Yani to visit and meet them.
that's really good! I can't believe you did all of it by ear, I'm trying to do yanni's "marching season" by ear to do it at a talent show, I just need someone to form a band with... :)
Oh my god, Derek, you are a legend, you are playing at almost twice the speed of the original, and you are also playing both Karen Briggs and the Iranian conductor's parts. You are one talented violinist. Congratulations.
Com uma boa produção audiovisual, uma edição do áudio, e imagens bem distribuida, ficaria bem melhor...
Os meninos mandaram bem, se todos tivessem o mesmo nivel de habilidades com o instrumento como o rapazinho do violino do canto da esqueda, sairia um ótimo som...
Enfim, como disse a vanessacastel em seu comentário, precisam continuar treinando... rsrs
Fabulous. It takes talent to arrange a Yanni piece by ear. I've done it a couple of times, but the only successful one was Standing in Motion. Keep it up. You're gonna be a great violinist one day.
Excellent performance, congratulations..after seen this video i acknowledge that in Venezuela( my homeland) there are a few orchestras performing that piece of music by Yanni.
You guys were FANTABULOUS!!!! I am such a big fan of Yanni's work(have about 50 songs of his)...and I was so thrilled to see high school students perform one of my all-time Yanni favorites....I also liked the violin duel against the guitar(as compared to violin against violin in Yanni's original)
Well.. I am a big fan of Yanni as well and the only think I can say is...Very Good. I gonna go to Yanni's Official website and ask him to see you guys. Did u think about that? U may get to know him face to face... let me try.
One of the best Yanni cover songs i have ever seen. To even attempt to play a Yanni song is very courageous of you kids. An amazing performance! Bravo!!!
this is so bad. so so bad, please take it down.
