Danny Elfman Serenada Schizophrana I Pianos

[JSwaggaUnplugged]

I got here from the book From Bad to Cursed. Amazing novel, amazing song.

[UnderwaterDrumming]

he has captured the essence of madness.

[StrikeTheFancy]

In the book, From Bad to Cursed by Katie Alender, this is something one of the character plays on the piano :D I had to look it up to see what it sounded like :P

[hurtinginside69]

@StrikeTheFancy did you like that book? I Also read it and i loved it! The first book gave me the creeps so i had to read the second one!!!!!!!! :)

[kavanagh1998]

@StrikeTheFancy That's what i just did right now!!!! sweet! Did Tashi really die?

[nancylove154]

Is this piece on iTunes anywhere?

[XxMelodyofHeavenxX]

Apparently, this was his hardest piece to write because he didn't have a movie to write music off of.

[kkkg5]

[VideoCritic358]

TJMC (Thomas Jefferson Marching Colonials) is using a portion of this song in their marching band performance, Twisted. I'm going to play trombone in the performance. Also, this song is really cool!

[5botball]

[codyap09]

He's still got it. Why can't his modern scores sound as good as this?

[AleahLovesChuu]

I am in tears, this was my marching band show music, for movement 3.[:

[iGiProduction]

[lidlurch]

@AleahLovesChuu we're playing it for our show this year :)

[AleahLovesChuu]

@lidlurch Oh how I miss it so much:/ . This year were doing some music inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven." I am super excited I am the dance soloist. Lenore:DDD

[lidlurch]

@AleahLovesChuu sounds way intense! Be sure to send me the link if you guys post a video of the show. That poem is crazy!

[lidlurch]

@AleahLovesChuu here's the show we did last year. it's more corny than our usual ones, but we made it work: /watch?v=RfUsE-JlGHA

[kash117]

The darkness and insanity of this piece make it incredible. I could listen to just the first 3 minutes of it on loop for years.

[icfraser5]

There is a prevelant mode to all his work that has a dark undertone. I love how the minor major mode changes he always uses surprise me everytime. It perfectly captures the emotional struggle most musicians turn to metal bands like Opeth for.

[pezepper]

its a masterpeice

[thesir27]

love that this is actually music, unlike what most composers put out these days

[CarSVernon]

@thesir27 ha! i love the way you said that. im a traditionalist through and through, when it comes to music. i agree.

[BrandonMLX]

This is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of instrumental music. (at least so far)

[icfraser5]

@BrandonMLX

if you like this check out Leila Josefewics performance of Bruch Violin Concerto

[saxmasta]

Just sayin. Spirit Drum & Bugle corps 2010....this was our opener. this and pyscho music, and Emersons piano concerto.

[laxgoalie1231]

@saxmasta what did u march?

[saxmasta]

@laxgoalie1231 Contra

[SpDrumz]

@saxmasta I marched 7th Regiment this past summer and this was the beginning of our closer. So intense.

[dragonfire2407]

our marching show was this, 'a brass thing', and 'ice dance' from edward scissor-hands

[UnderwaterDrumming]

We based ours off this last year. This and Wild Nights. It was a cool selection.

[FirstAsianTeen]

our marching band music is based off this. it's incredible music written by a phenomenal artist!!!

[Boned2217]

We're using this, Blue Strings, and Such for our Marching Show, Hypnotica. We also use Urban Dances movements I, II & lll

Its AMAZING :) Specially with the Battery/Drumline added in.

[Boned2217]

We're using some of this, at least up until 2:46 or so for our Marching Show <3

[EraseAllMemory]

I have seriously loved Danny since I was a little girl...;o) Many, many moons ago. (over 30 years now) This is so beautiful. He is truly a genius. Too bad he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

[euphonium2011]

our marching band show this year is based off this piece of music......i love it!!!!

[tatescreek12]

Our marching band show comes from this. ITS really cool.

[Dudeguyboy24]

@tatescreek12

whoa dude, whos this? im at tates creek too!

[mrdarklight]

Danny Elfman is our John Lennon... except not a sad hippie like Lennon.

[sweetlynnful]

OMFG. That's all.

[mrscolorguard]

This is our song for our Winterguard show. Its going to be cool.

[TheCowCatHunter]

our band is basing our show off of Vincent Van Gogh and the name and music pretty much fits with his life.

[allmusician5]

we used this at FZW. our show was based on schizophrenia. essentially the theme was no theme. didn't go over well with the judges though...

[gigasaiyan4]

jeez, how many marching bands are using this?

[brookins40]

Our winterguard used this last year...check it out..vids on youtube

[marissa0714]

Shoot. and Part 3 also has some of I Forget in it.

[marissa0714]

Durand High School in Durand, MI is doing this piece for part of our show. There are 4 movements. This is part one. A brass thing is part 2. Part 3 is based off Improv for Sax but our music writer changed it up a bit so everyone has a part. and I Forget is part 4.

[gigasaiyan4]

lol, same thing with our band, we based most of our show from this

[TheCowCatHunter]

[aLivingCartoon]

i've admired danny elfman for my entire life, ever since i watched the Nightmare Before Christmas as a little kid.. i think his music from that movie alone led me to have such an interest in music( i now play piano, drums, guitar, and a little bass and harmonica, and i compose a little as well)

i just recently found Serenada Schizophrana and it must be the greatest modern-day music written yet, and i am only more inspired.

[emilieakabrole]

I agree with you! He is a brilliant composer, and I too get inspiration from him. :)

[emilieakabrole]

@aLivingCartoon

I can't more than say that I agree with you in every way! He is brilliant and keeps making all this fantastic music. He is a true inspiration! :)

[WillsonJacob]

@aLivingCartoon You should listen to some of his stuff from the Oingo Boingo days... Pretty interesting as well...

[emochick13ful]

My brothers ban is doing this song for marching band too.

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

Reminiscent of his Burton works. I really love the sense of pace throughout.

[DrunkenLink132]

Hey so is my band! What school do you go to?

[IAmTheCowCatHunter]

Wow i'm so excited i'm in a marching band that is basing part of our show on this piece.

[sasukesis1]

this makes me wana run around and look for things with this song in the background
