Excerpt From Last Night Of The Proms Part 4

[strathsail]

Hope, next time they'll put great flautist Ian Anderson in the spot !

[ScottTheGent]

only in Britain! haha <3 proms are great! for all ages =D

[CdtRSM]

bobbing in the floor area, a very middle class rave

[SamEuphonium]

Good Euphonium!!!

[Nogli]

Argh. You cut out the bit where he taunts the audience at the end of Sailor's Hornpipe. He declared something like "This is war!" and went even faster!

[swordarchertex]

maybe its me being to serious, but if it was my damn orchestra, i'd halt them if someone kept honking :P

[Megadurk]

I love the bobbing, it's like the pretentious middle-aged equivalent to a mosh pit.

[backnumber1662]

you dont have to be middle aged to bob.

[MrFriendlyboy]

I just love the best part who stat at 4.30. The musicpice they start playing at that time, the sounds the audions make and the way they moving up and down makes me lol every time, year after year after year.

[requiemx43]

Oh how I wish I was that euphonium player! That is like the best Euph solo in the world!

[Habdabi]

I need a song for a video, the one where often the airhorns are blown on the beat and ushally starts to get faster. Reply the answer please

[jennibiscuit]

Well i'm 19 and my brother is 21 and we both love classical music

[OohLiverShot]

This is the reason why 20th Century music and classical in general is so unpopular amoungst the new generation, you see the people in the crowd of events like this, and are put off immediatly.

[OohLiverShot]

And btm I'm a huge fan of classical and romantic but not partiuarly 20th century.

[DavidMJordan]

OoLSH: I may agree with you but I'd never defend your right to say so - not on this page anyway.

[Deadlytrick]

wow OohLiverShot are you so ever wrong, considering the popularity of youth orchestras where I live both in schools and out. I for one am 15 and love classical music and playing the cello in my 2 youth orchestras one with about 100 members. Keep your facts straight mate.

[thewyj]

I love it! At the end it just decsends into a race to see who can finish first, the audience or the orchestra?

[mcsciennes]

The final foot-tapping bit is called Jack's the Lad, better known as the Sailor's Hornpipe. You will find an explanation of the entire piece on Wikipedia under Fantasia on British Sea Songs.

[Gwydion2007]

Greatest feeling if you can get it live

[Lainypookins]

yeah what is the name of the song, it's very good

[Englandpleasent]

What is the name of the song?

[555564]

this is on in the beginning of september evry yeaR for anyone who wants to know

[donsheep0]

Does anybody have the one from this year?

The Violin and the Flute played something different in the beginning of the sailors hornpipe. I would love to se that again.

[flyingscotsman0141]

themetune to faulty towers PMSL

[Louise901]

Bloody fantastic! Oh, I'll have to go one year!

[YuriFive]

Oh I just loooove the song in the end!!

it's my favorite part :)

[FinalFreek]

i think that you should have the royal navy bugerls playing the fanfare and then join in with the brass part.

[FinalFreek]

superb peice of music you can defenatly do an hornpipe to this just make up a few step that where kind of like a saliors hornpipe

[clskmstg]

As a musician in America I can say this - We could learn quite a bit from our great British friends! Brilliant post! Rule Britannia!

[machiavellianmeow]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting it.

[willsjd]

my pick for favorite segement of the night

[colpooti]

I wish i knew when they did this so i could watch it.

[markymarkthemark]

last night of the proms...

[magnuseje]

i love the fishers hornpipe clap-a-long after 4:30. :)

[RandomJulez]

Im not usually into classical music but i do love it when the proms is on the television... i think its quite comical sometimes to watch the boping in the audience it reminds me of a civilised mosh pit

[nuser64]

then it wouldnt be last night of the proms if there wasnt any boping lol

[ieuz123]

Thanks for posting this. Lovely stuff. I love the hooters in the audience lol. I saw this on TV that night and had it turned up so loud the whole County could probably heared it lol.
