Yiri - Koko

[HarryLowe95]

i remember this from music gcse, my favourite just because it was so good to listen to in the end of year exam with everyone in the class room tapping along with music.

[diamondring62]

My head hurts.

[cornsnake959]

the key is G flat major. I don't know how many singers there are but if your asking for your GCSE I doubt you'll need to know how many singers there are.

[roooooooooxoxo]

does any one know how many singers there are and what key singture it is in please????

[AwsomeArdvarkAbi]

the music comes from burkino faso not guinea :) hehe lol

[Reebo96]

Such a tune!

[Hennerz632]

The puns just get worse and worse in this piece

[lovetosing228]

HELP can I play piano for my compostion then for my minimalist peice can I sing + play drums wit electric guitar, and electric sax

[hopdrop2]

I only started this GCSE in Sept and have to have it finished by June =3

[lovetosing228]

@hopdrop2 ow poor u I'm starting it early in yr 9 so I can do it early so I can do my other choices on top of 4 preps a night and drum,piano and singing practice so always think ureself lucky

[hopdrop2]

I hate this =/ Why do I have to do it for GCSE?!

[pianoxyloman]

I really hope this isn't an essay question in summer 2012 D':

[BubbaQueen6636]

@pianoxyloman I find it easier then Area of study 2 and 3. Because theres no score for this :D

[pianoxyloman]

@BubbaQueen6636 You can get more easy marks from this, but I'd prefer AOS1 tbh

[lovetosing228]

@pianoxyloman me to I'm flippin out cos I'm afraid my language will b to imature cos I'm only yr9 and I might get marked down

[pianoxyloman]

@lovetosing228 chill, as long as you say reasonable things, you should be fine!

[animeforall1]

Got my mock next week - dear lord help me.

[krazychicken101]

[animeforall1]

@krazychicken101 This, and most of them tbh ;D x

[BubbaQueen6636]

[animeforall1]

@BubbaQueen6636 Good luck! You'll be fine, it wasn't too bad :) x

[BubbaQueen6636]

@animeforall1 Thanks :) What did u guys get for the essay?

[animeforall1]

@BubbaQueen6636 Erm, Grace and Chopin I think? :')

[BubbaQueen6636]

@animeforall1 Ohh, i havet studied Grace yet (only piece left on the course to do)

[animeforall1]

@BubbaQueen6636 They're saving the best until last, honestly! I've become strangely addicted to that song... ;D

[BubbaQueen6636]

@animeforall1 HAHA! Thats funny! Hopefully its good :D

Btw, its new year where i live. Happy new Year!! :D

[animeforall1]

@BubbaQueen6636 It really is! :3

[BubbaQueen6636]

@animeforall1 haha! U can wait :)

[lovetosing228]

@animeforall1 really I find it kinda annoying

[animeforall1]

@lovetosing228 What, Grace? :) x

[panzrocks123]

my favourite piece out of all of the gsce music songs is probably raindrops prelude by chopin :)

[MegaChemboy]

@panzrocks123 i looooove that piece, what did you think of the Mozart?

[MrN1Tman]

The only good thing about gcse music is that you can listen to music and claim its revision.

[black39gold]

urgh.

[TheYoutubalization]

Apart from the bit where he said 'YYYYYIIIIIRRRRRIIIII', I really could not understand what they were saying.

[Joliveerr]

To be quite honest, I much prefer this to Glory of the lord. That song makes me cringe when I think about it. YIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, yiri. XD

[Ecoll009]

got my mock tomorrow .. know nothing.

[conker262]

somone wanna write a essay on this for me and send it to me? PLEASE?!

[adelefranghiadi]

I love this piece but no nothing about it. All that's well ends well?

[kettler1996]

LOL epic anotations XD

[bensbeardies123]

Those jokes were painful! :(

[g3org33r3]

A Level music is so much better :)

[EmilioEcstacy]

DJEMBE DROP LOL.

[tommyzoom88]

I HATE PERIPETIE

[Hennerz632]

When I think of GCSE music I compare it to German, they're both impossible to get an A* and I dread them every week but then I listen to this and think this is far better than some random German kids with retarded voices speaking about how great their summer holidays were (no offence to Germans i'm sure the english guys in your listening exams sound retarded too)

[dom0s]

@Hennerz632 To be honest, this sounds like some random African kids with retarded voices speaking about how great their summer holidays were.

[tynian10]

@Hennerz632 I managed to get an easy A* in music this year, all you need to do is get great marks on your performance and composition, and you can practically walk into the the exam room with a C.

[Hennerz632]

@tynian10 :)

[lovetosing228]

@Hennerz632 ha I know what u mean they do sound soooo retarded the worst ones are the french people they speak soooooo fast and I can neva understand them thats why I'm not takin french I'm takin German.I'm glad that I can do music early though so I can do all my other choices. what instruments do u play

[Hennerz632]

@lovetosing228 French horn and Vocal.. I know they're not exactly the coolest instruments in the world but it helps playing a classical instrument with theory.

[izzienaylor]

my 10 year old brother bought a Djembe today...

[dom0s]

@izzienaylor God help you and your family

[dom0s]

It really needs a dubstep remix

[lovetosing228]

@dom0s lol it wud b great wit some jessie j in there somewhere

[crowfaceltd]

2:12 4 YIRIIIIIII.

[Manixxx100]

@crowfaceltd LOL

[seanwhitehello]

I think writing YIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII instead of vocals yiri is worth more marks... I hope ;)

[SkittleLamp]

We watched this in my music class, I was pissing myself at the captions. Particularly the 'djembe drop' and the music puns oh my god

[Dragoncourtjr]

Everybody put your grades on this when we get them in the summer.

[lovetosing228]

@Dragoncourtjr shoud I I'm only in yr 9

[Spectrallink]

I like how every freaking song we studied is on the side under "suggestions"

[nickbickbick]

YIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII YIRI.

[Doorknob266]

Easiest question in the exam. Thanks Africa!

[TheHappyEmoo]

I was dancing in my head to the beat when this song came on and it was played like 4 times and when they guy said "you have 3 minutes to answer the questions" I was like oh crap!

[ogloglGaming]

thumbs up if you were dancing to the beat of the yiri in the exam!

[TheHappyEmoo]

@ogloglGaming I wasn't but the examiner was and it was proper funny! :'). And from where she was stood I could on;y see her dancing xD

[MegaD3lta]

@ogloglGaming HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was :)

[MovieMania126]

Thumbs up those of you who chose romantic music rather than Grace!!

[Dragoncourtjr]

@MovieMania126 I would have done but I couldn't answer the first two questions but I could with the Buckley so there you go.

[idinsab]

Exam was piss easy.

[maxmayhew14]

Exam was easy.

[Dragoncourtjr]

Who did Buckley, who did Chopin? Needed another page for the essay question!

[idinsab]

@Dragoncourtjr chopin! no doubt about it!

[MegaD3lta]

@Dragoncourtjr Buckley.

[Trac3Bundy]

Wooohoooo! Exam wasn't as hard as i expected it to be! =D

[Aliz328]

wht the heck was suppose to be on the table thing?! i don't understand it at all!

[ThisIsNotAva]

@Aliz328

The structure one? The balafon ostinati was the bottom one that had the longest line. The first box on the left was the balafon break, the next one was the 'Yiri' then vocal 'call' and then there were the two on top of eachother I think? The top one was vocal 'response' and the bottom balafon 'response'. I don't know if it matters which one you put those two in, but it made more sense that way.

[doddleoddle]

@ThisIsNotAva YES I DID THAT :D :D <3

[ThisIsNotAva]

@doddleoddle Woo! :D <3

[WithLoveFromEmma]

@ThisIsNotAva YAY!

[YellowBricks1234]

@ThisIsNotAva I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START IN THE BOX!

[ThisIsNotAva]

@YellowBricks1234

Haha, I guessed that one before we heard the music and then checked after. I just knew this piece better because I enjoyed listening to it :')

@putridpedros I think that's a much better idea ;)

[putridpedros]

@ThisIsNotAva Instead of writing "Vocal 'Yiri'", I just wrote in the box "YYYYIIIIIIRRRRRRIIIIIIII!!!!!­" hope I don't get marked down... :s

[kubahobo]

@putridpedros lllllloooooooooooolll!!!!!!!! <3

[Aliz328]

@ThisIsNotAva

oh sugar! T^T i got the long one wrong!!

[YellowBricks1234]

@Aliz328 haha me either! I asked the invigilator and they couldn't tell me so i was like 'great im gonna lose 6 marks'

[Floogie1]

Had my exam today :D it was ok nothing to worry about really

[lenalights]

very good exam.

most difficult bit was the blues bit :P x

[TayTayMade]

You will now here 'Yiri' for the first times (plays Tune) you will not here 'Yiri' for the first time. You will now here it for the 2nd time, and now the 4th and final time!

[TayTayMade]

You will now here 'Yiri' for the first times (plays Tune) you will not here 'Yiri' for the first time. You will now here it for the 2nd time, and now the 4th and final time!

[ZoeDucky]

Could someone please tell me whether it is Gb major hexatonic or pentatonic cause the Edexcel revision guides contradict themselves...?

[inShockkk]

@MegaJimbob5 Shouldn't be too badd... i need 50% on the exam tomorrow to get a C overall aha

[jackdavidedwards]

good luck for tomorrow peopleeeeee

[Jbeebeable]

jokes on them... the balaphon player sings the big YIRRIII not the silly man in the background

GOOD LUCK ALL!!! : )

[eisdaa]

@tomboface its on the edexcel website under gcse music

[eisdaa]

Do you guys think its safe to assume they wont ask about Moby or Schonberg in Section B as that was on the sample assesment material?

[tomboface1]

@eisdaa What is this sample assessment thing?? :P

[0Walsy0]

Gonna fail this exam so bad! The only pieces i know are "somethings coming" "Grace" and "why does my heart feel so bad".. mainly because i enjoy them!

[Pixiesayrawr]

arghhhh music exam tomorrow morning :/ eee gunnaa faillll :/

anyone know the specific key of the piece? or is it mostly Gflat major which is the key of the balaphone???

xxxx

[invictorium]

@Pixiesayrawr nah its a rhythmic piece, so dont worry, if they ask anything about tonality ill happily eat my nut sack (i think its just a pentatonic melody anyway)

[davidlewinton]

@invictorium Such a good comment!

[Pixiesayrawr]

@invictorium ahh thank you :D

good luck tomorrow :) xx

[invictorium]

@Pixiesayrawr thanks, yeh u too, do you happen to know what two section B pieces came up last year?? (for the mock)

[Pixiesayrawr]

@invictorium haha i know this is a late reply but ... a* yes now! :P

[MrHarryandrews1]

[superkarateman1]

[forever182x]

[pro2go95]

countdown: 13 hours!!!!!!!!

[atalayapark]

@pro2go95 shit

[pro2go95]

@atalayapark I'm in Thailand, so I'm probably one of the first to take it :(

[atalayapark]

@pro2go95 lucky you

[shanny2115]

eehh exam tomorrow :'( .. Hoping this song comes up and not.. the handel and peripetiieee one grah!.. good luck other people :) <3

[edparry95]

btw, whoever posted this, Burkina Faso is not the album, Burkina Faso is a country. It's in west Africa in the centre. Burkina means 'men of integrity' and Faso means 'father's house'. Music from this country tells of men's greatest battles in life including the fight for survival

[harryjamesthomas]

worst piece of music in GCSE course = Peripetie

[CandeeCane07]

exam in less than 24 hours... fucking shitting myself!!!

[xximjust2gdxx]

I'm actually gunna rave to this if it comes up in the exam

[RandomlyRandomMaya]

my favourite thing about this piece: it's not Rag Desh.

[doddleoddle]

@RandomlyRandomMaya LOL.

[alexypietheguitarguy]

Why we don't have Parkway Drive as an artist to study I don't know..

[tomdenman]

@alexypietheguitarguy If Parkway Drive was coming up, I would actually look forward to taking this exam.

[MrJoshmeister]

Best bit is the cowbell :L

[Expressyourmess]

come on guys, we can get this to 15 thousand views!

[donkyzable]

@Expressyourmess if everyone doing music GCSE just watches it 100 times each before tuesday

[HammerHeadCactus]

The World Music for my gcse exam are my favourites :)

<3 Yiri,

Skye Waulking Song

Rag Desh :) Music GEEK

[invictorium]

@HammerHeadCactus music virgin, listen to some stone roses.

[Sophysaurus]

SAX AND VIOLINS!

[Duddett24]

This piece will be the death of me in the exam.

[waxabee]

like every piece but schoenberg

[Madssish]

shit, gunna fail.

[crto1995]

GCSE Music - don't they just love to set us the set works that irritate us so very much. I reckon this will be on the exam.

[YellowBricks1234]

@crto1995 it will - its barely in the practise papers

[crto1995]

@YellowBricks1234 And that is the exact reason why it will be on. Luckily, this is the set work we have done the most on at my school.

[mentalbreakdown123]

*puts hand up* But there aren't saxes in Western Classical music, so your pun failed. x)

[dom0s]

@mentalbreakdown123 Since about Debussy there has been considerable use of saxophone, if you look at villa lobos then it is a standard instrument in his wind part of the orchestra. He even wrote two concertos for saxophone and orchestra i think. Although personally, I think that music from that period would be better if the saxophone hadn't been invented...

[mentalbreakdown123]

@dom0s Sure he did, but it's not a standard in 99.9% of the big symphony orchestras. But yes, really wish the sax in all its forms hadn't been invented...

[x3abzkebabzx3]

OMG I HAVE MY MUSIC GCSE ON TUESDAY... I FEEL LIKE I KNOW NOTHING!! ... NOTHING D:

[darkarrow3]

I can appreciate this... not the serialism piece of crap xd

[letsmakemusicbaby]

[sam123iggle]

Tuesday? Please stay away for as long as possible, I need to ace you babes xx

[gazonced]

I enjoy the classical composer puns as much as I like this piece.

[gazonced]

Was the pun at 4:14 about Handel intentional?

[CandeeCane07]

ahahah i love how this video has only been popular for the past few days! :P

[GRRJayyy]

THANKYOUU how is this really relevant to music?? stupid GCSE music :/ only thing this is gonna help is me get out my head when i bun a fattyy after examss

[MageGW]
