Epic.

[wolfmanwill]

Absolutely incredible!

Fantastic polyphony.

@wcbroccoli Who cares if they are just fads?! What I am trying to point out is that you are always trying to be better, more sophisticated, than the rest of the world just because you know and understand classical music. Haven't we already proved that with the composing of the music? Why do we have to act uptight and seclude ourselves from the rest of world? Secondly, listen to Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloe." it is a quiet, complex symphony with the most power I've ever seen.

[WAHarachel]

I love your videos for adding a great visual experiance to beautiful music. I also think it's great that you have a mixture of the most famous music and other interesting pieces that are less well known.

[bitterbum1]

@wcbroccoli (1. says the guy who says "wassup." (2. I play the flute my high school band, orchestra, my city youth symphony, and I've played in many quartets (in fact im working on a trio right now). i like symphonies because they are more powerful, complex, and (to me) more interesting than quartets. I do not have anything against people who like quartets, but that's just me. (3. why cant we use every day vocabulary? since when does listening to good classical music require a vocabulary?

[bensmrt9]

@wcbroccoli First, I do not have a score to every piece Stephen so graciously puts on YouTube. Second, given the liberties of expression by the performer(s) there is no way to determine from a score how the performance is going to be phrased unless it is denoted on screen.

[tinkerchelchel]

thank you so much!! i really appreciate what you do :D

[bu24ever]

@ I dont play any instrument but i really enjoy in your animation...thank you

[Braiantirith]

Hermoso!

[bensmrt9]

I think that the experience would be even better if there was a bar down the middle of the screen showing exactly where you are in the music. So you know exactly when the notes will start, end, etc.

Other than that keep up the great work.

[franielee38]

Glad you are back! Bravo!

[JoacinoDaGona]

BEAUTIFUL!

[BLooDCoMPleX]

[UncagedCardinal]

[Flumphinator]

Beautiful.

[JackTR21]

smalin, thank you for widening my appreciation of orchestral music

[Mamboleo1995]

awesome!

[bitterbum1]

yo... i love what you're doing... but enough with the quartets! lets hear some more epic symphonies!

[smalin]

@bitterbum1 Don't worry, they're in the queue.

[shakudoh]

@smalin I and many of us are in queue too. I'm glad that you are back from your sabbatical (?). TKS.

[pedroca2424]

I keep wondering how you do these videos. You have got to use some kind of software, because otherwise I can't even imagine the amount of work that it would take...

[smalin]

@pedroca2424 You should visit my web site and look at the History section.

[mranderson762]

how come the circles and boxes are seperate but are used by the same instruments?

[peter96]

@mranderson762 circles are when the notes are hit and bars are how long the notes are thats why one instrument ha cirlces and bars

[smalin]

@mranderson762 The circles show the points of imitation.

[mranderson762]

@smalin what exactly does that mean?

[smalin]

@mranderson762 In most of the piece, one instrument is imitating (repeating with or without variation) the motives (themes, melodies) that were previously played in another part. The balls highlight that material.

[mranderson762]

@smalin ok. that makes sense. thanks

[wiseman2131]

You've done it again, my good man.

[Radeir1]

O som colorido

empurra as letras e impera

- e a ondulação encanta.

[felipemp93]

@Radeir1 rapaz poeta ^^

[Radeir1]

@felipemp93 Linda sua música,eis como a vi: De bela a composição envergonhou-se negra tela - nave-som rumo às estrelas... * É, Filipe ,o lapidar da mais profunda pedra -jóia dança no ilhar. * E cada acorde aponta novo horizonte - quem ouvir,verá. Amei você!

[felipemp93]

@Radeir1 Nossa, muito obrigado! Agradeço por ter ouvido minhas músicas e inscrito em meu canal! Estou meio parado porque eu tive que compor um concerto para um maestro, mas agora eu estou livre e estou podendo compor para o Youtube ^^

[majetteduncan]
