History of Music on YouTube

[stefankania]

Great  music.

[yehzhaofeng]

Euro centric musical history. haha

[bearsrbz]

MTT compiled this for fun - he would never consider this to be comprehensive, so don't interpret this as something definitive. It is a generous playlist from the top conductor in America, maybe the world. Cheers. (Hey, how about those metronomes! - not to mention the accordions.)

[NINJATRONdnb]

@haj890 you suck and you should respect this music , without this nothing whould exist . classical rules , i like paganini and shubert the most.

[bradleypartyof3]

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube... Michael Tilson Thomas is my hero!

[adamponteu]

0:33 - 0:43 What's song?

[sireofzelda]

2:30

love stravinsky

[TheSuperbass123]

wow! 0:11

I love that baroque Orchestra!

[teamgingersnap]

Brilliant ! I love how the unexpected - but totally related to clasical - music is inserted. Really makes one appreciate the foundation that classical music has laid for other styles.

[brucehembd]

Nice, but embedding disabled? Really?

[SamRubinPictures]

That was incredible.

[fawn559922]

loved it it was veeerryyy intertaning!!!!

congratz!!

[ArtyKing12345]

i like this, but the first ocestra scared me.... There skin is like...well... ZOMBIE.... o_o

[sanbor01]

Great selection, but I don't understand what means the mushup, sorry

[janwootten]

Tour de force.

[beaatriixii]

whats the second song?

[Q0025]

What is name of first orcestra?

[InXLsisDeo]

Who was the lady playing the harpsichord ? She was incredible !

[coasterman16]

It would be better "history" if all of the pieces were in chronological order of composition. This isn't really a history of music; it's just a bunch of random clips.

[dofbg]

whta piece is in the minuet 2:08

[ArtyKing12345]

idk but its horowitz playing it :D

[sebastianDTBeat]

1:14 what piece is that?

[philipe1985]

That is Jascha Heifetz playing Paganini Caprice No. 24, I guess.

[eriqrainbow]

cool!! there's Ligeti and Stockhausen!!!

[Sven2Perroy]

anyone with those ladies playing ?

[Moonmatt2]

What's the first song?

[fionajpower]

there are so many interesting pieces here would e wonderful to get a more info on each snipet - especially the Bass Recorder piece and the Clapping choir. The guitar Tapper looks like Thomas Leeb. if it is he's excellent so is Erik Mongrain.

[lukesprettycolors]

0:11-0:20

anyone?

and I second nyxetera's comment, please make a source list of all of the pieces and what times they appeared at, it would be greatly appreciated

And thanks for the great video!

[Erudite127]

Look up tous les matins du monde, and you'll find a Turkish march by Lully. Thats it.

[PCstranger]

Marvolous O.o

Awesome compilation

Congratulations =)

[BellaSissa]

I love this <3

[Goststriker]

0:55 - 1:06

Anyone?

[taviona]

Death and the Maiden, Schubert string quartet.

[Goststriker]

THX

[porim3]

magnífico!

[musicloverrmm]

:26-:32

Were those primitive bassoons?

[musicloverrmm]

I now know that those are bass recorders. just played so interestingly lol.

[betho055]

2:28 - 2:37???

[scoggles]

Firebird with Stravinsky conducting.

[nyxetera]

You really ought to make a list of the sources you used. I'm really curious about some of these!

[sikki72]

Hi, I was wondering what the name of the piece played from 3:06 through 3:21 is. Oh, and who the opera singer at 3:47 is, too. If you could help me out, it'd be appreciated.

[kr00cial]

One more dude he is such a beast....2:08 what is that animal-out-his-cage gentleman's name

[kr00cial]

1:14-19 Wrecked! what is his name? also the beast-like gentleman on 1:27

[scoggles]

Heifetz.

[WzMystery]

@kr00cial that beast-like gentleman is Jascha Heifetz and he is playing Paganini's 24th caprice. :3 (at 1:14 and 1:27)

[EzeroJ]

Great video :)

I was wondering if anyone were able to tell me what piece is at 2:38

Maybe a list of the work used in the description would be great then people may have the chance to broaden their music collection.

(The video should probably be retitled as Hellokittns said to 'History of Classical Music on Youtube' as History of Music ignores every other greatly important genre)

[kr00cial]

LMAO 1:07 WTF it was either a rape, a rabbit scream, a chimpmunk giving birth or a violin getting stuck on a sander....

[msundblad]

This is great. I use many of these videos in my college music appreciation class. The aria aria at 3:44 is Casta Diva from Bellini's Norma, sung by Maria Callas.

[hellokittns]

Uhm, isnt this a big generalization? History of Music? not only does it ignore 95% of the different types of music, it only has classical.. which means it should at least be titled as History of Classical Music on Youtube.

[L337VP]

not only that, the videogame painist isn't even in this video!

[music921]

where do you think modern/popular music came from?

[haj890]

@hellokittns  yea this music sucks

[Denkyuu]

@hellokittns While I do agree, only a very small portion of this music is actually classical. Large amounts of baroque, romantic, impressionistic, and even avant garde music is mixed in. Unless, of course, you mean classical as a record store genre marking in that it is mainly orchestral, which seems to be a little out of place in a music history discussion.

Sorry! Trying not to be a snob, but it had to be said.

[gayerest]

@hellokittns Pretty much isn't just classical.

[shmelman]

Is it possible to list all the pieces shown?

[sireofzelda]

what song is at 2:38

[jarabass]

That's Leonard Bernstein conducting "La Valse", by Maurice Ravel, with the Orchestre National du France

[MaerdYsatnaf]

... Il Bianco is one of my all time favourite pieces. By the way. <33

[russia687]

Who/What is at 2:18 - 2:26 ?

[antsee]

0:14 - 0:20 is from the movie Tous Les Matins Du Monde, about Viola Da Gamba player Marin Marais.

[Scytheandsickle]

Thanks a lot. :)

[Kasasky]

This video it's beautiful! :D

3:06 - 3:21 Name please!

[MichaelSel]

is that a contrabass recorder?!

name of the piece?

[wolfgangcoltrane]

Yes I would be eternally grateful if someone was able to point out the song at 0:33-0:40.

[MichaelSel]

four seasons by vivaldi

[phrogex]

I wish you posted the names of the videos. I recognized a few of them: Steve Reich, György Ligeti, Maria Callas (?), and John Zorn (?). I'm wondering what the four women sitting back to back playing the bassoons (?) was. That sounded interesting. Or what about those guys playing in the helicopter?

[eoinok101]

That was Stockhausen's "Helicopter String Quartet".

[LordVidra]

György Ligeti, he is Hungarian by the name, isn't he? I knew there must be some hungarians in this video.

I think Zoltán Kodály should be in it too. There must be a video footage of him.

[obietom]

Ligeti's awesome. Check out "Lux Aeterna" for 16 part choir (listen to a version with less vibrato).

[DDRfreak15371]

3:35 - 3:43

Was that absolutely necessary?? Lol!

[JukeboxZzzz]

2:07 lol funny :D

[PhilipTheDuke]

[assedup88]

[1Stalker1]

There are black people who play songs like that.

[SNOWBORED11]

I love music. Awesome video. I look forward to seeing more of MTT in the future. Davies Symphony Hall !!!

[Snaggbash2000]

There are things that are good and things that are bad,

things that I like and things that I dont,

and things that makes no sence what so ever. But it was entertaining 4/5 :)

[elcamino7889]

absolutely amazing. this video really makes u appreciate the art of music and the journey its taken over the course of history

[trumpeterteddy]

Simply Amazing Video!

Classical music does not get the recognition or the respect that it deserves!
