G.F.Handel Alla Hornpipe (Helsinki flute quartet) D.Varelas

[Metellus10011]

HAHAHAHA YES I LOVE THIS MELODY!

[leanthros2]

μπραβο κ. Βαρελα, πολυ καλο!

[JazzyPick]

very beautiful! :)

[mescaljr]

Well this is my 6th year playing the flute, but I am no where near this good. I was in a church quartet, and was just amazed at how good the tonguing is. I bet you guys spend most of your day on this stuff and months upon months to get the tonguing as near perfect as possible... Wish I could here more then just what is here on youtube of y'all.

[AlidaMk9]

wonderful! I wish I could play like that...........but then again, it's only my second year playing the FLUTE! :)

[cerrtinka]

super !!!

[Baruchyoseph8]

lovely - why do flautists always bob their heads ?... just curious.

[ToulBoi]

@Baruchyoseph8 I'd assume its a natural thing that happens when one is heavily engaged in the music; ie. musicality. It could also be a cultural/traditional thing, rooting from a previous generation's musicality.

[abqcleve]

@Baruchyoseph8: I'd add to ToulBoi's that there are teachers like Trevor Wye who dislike this. I think there are technical reasons as well as cultural. The flute is difficult to articulate, requires an awkward body position and is the only wind instrument with no resistance to breath. Notice the great articulation these folks achieve: part is surely the physical energy we see here. Movement can compensate a bit. See Jen Cluff on this: search "jen cluff moving playing".

[murdie65]

are they all flutes or are there alto flutes to?

[JLEIngenieros]

Bravo!!!

[symfoniatragic]

Dear Mr. Varelas ,

So charming ! & amazing performance. Love Handel, Love water music ,Love flute & Love you Helsinki Flute quartet !!

So many thanks for the videos & hope to see more from you!

[dkfhs89]

Wow!! that's super nice,,, is there a way i can get the sheet music for this arrangement?? i have a flute quartet concert coming up and need some music. Will you send me if you can?? thanks

[SarahAnneIcePrincess]

@dkfhs89 I need some too! Does anyone know of any websited that have some? Me and my trio need some new music C:

[Squiggleee]

lol i love how they all do the flute-playing dance together. xD

[Jamlind1]

Beautiful and well balanced performance.

[MrPfund]

You just can play this on flutes. The music loses its whole nobility. Theres a reason Handel score for hornpipes.

[2008asilonnuty]

that's why it's called an arrangement. Derr. Is refreshingly different.

[moltoallegro19]

This was NOT scored for hornpipes, but for a whole baroque orchestra! "Hornpipe" is what you call a piece written in a special type of rhytm that was typical for old hornpipe-melodies. "Alla hornpipe" is italian and could be directly translated into "in the manner of the hornpipe".

[zot500]

I have never heard this piece played with only flutes, but you all are extremely talented and it sounded GREAT!

[choosh]

wow!! so good! im trying to play that \,but it isnt that easy!! it sounds so beautiful

[smtiellgopher]

poor guy needs to crouch just to see his music lol

[operababe2010]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[ewelonic]

i love how the flutist play their instrument i mustn't say wonderful because for a music player so i must say brilliant

[InMinima]

I recorded this with two trumpets... its not as good as THIS but if you want to hear it just look on my channel

[Shipslitz]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E! 

Spectacular!!! And a great arrangement, too...

[ckscott88]

Excelente!!! Greetings from Mexico...

[bigbirdtalent]

that's music Handel

[lmleland]

This was lovely! :-)

[GaNSTaSuspeCT]

Grandioso!!...Come in Quebec..you will be the best quartet..

So...Peacefully and magnifique so beauty and joyful..

[Glorimanimous]

The sound quality here is excellent, seemingly effortless and coming out of nowhere . . . or out of the ether. The lack of extraneous air in the tones is commendable.

[pianistaclasico]

Maravilloso

[clucaspik]

I have to transcribe this piece for classical guitar for a wedding, and am doing it by ear (cuz it's in a good key). I'm using your version exclusively. It definitely rocks!

[moltoallegro19]

The best performance including flutes I have ever heard! You guys are going straight into my favourites! Greetings from Sweden.

[stephenooft]

O my god!!! you guys are great!!!!! Awesome, magnific, perfect harmony!!!

[Hoovercat]

fantastic

[lelloferraro]

molto bravi!

One little question:

Are you going to perform the "Ariette" from watermusic?

Allthe best

[DmVarelas]

May be in some future :) Thx for the comment.

[Youcme1]

i think some they move a lot to the music which is kind of distracting to me but otherwise they are good :]

Bravo!!

[darc1111]

omg thats sooo beautiful i wish i could play that well grrr wow ur amazing

[madtrickdotcom]

they like my nodding churchhill lol

[flllutiste]

Bravo!

[okonh0wp]

they are great but they give me motion sickness because they bob up and down so much. are you supposed to play the flute like that?

[i2construct]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing this!

[hay2steph]

beautiful clean trills by the first player. Wonderful ensemble!

[fre3d0m]

You guys rock! make me wanna play quartet again! To the flute player in red: I like how you are so at ease with your movements and bodily gestures. :)

[folcababa]

The music piece is so nice. I like it and I will like if dey play Joseph Haydn trumpet bflat major.

[maxazi]

bravissimi!

[jnfdsjfdjs]

Strange, at 0:53 they play a different tone, than the Orfeus Orchestra, I'm quite certain they hit a wrong note.

[moskva40]

I don't think they hit a wrong note, I think the arranger actually wrote the wrong note. It's leading into A but they play an A7 . . . or something. You're right, it doesn't sound correct.

[reacaorb]

É BRASIL,BRASIL , maior país de água doce do mundo (Water Music)!!!!Viva Handel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reacaorb]

Muito inspirado estava Ceoge handel quandel fez water music.Mas nessa versão flautina, Ficou EXTUPENDO!!!!!!!!!!

[dreuxschwartz]

It's so dramatic! specially when reached the B minor part..

[valvetrom]

And high marks to Dimitry the arranger, the big guy seems to bow down to honor Handel and Dimitry, masterly in all ways.

[ThaSchwab]

Dmitriy is the big guy :)

[valvetrom]

If you want to see a tall Flutist, look up German Born Uwe Grodd, now in NZ

[gumio1]

guys, just to let you know. all the bobbing up and down. it is to get movement on the piece and for show. but it also serves to cue the others the tempo, entrance, and dynamics. it does have a function

[dreuxschwartz]

So baroque! I like it. I feel a monarch in my mind..

[lisaflute]

very nice playing...but too much moving around(bobbing up and down) just my oppinion..I still think it is beautiful playing!

[SpellbindingDeath]

Lisaflute, I was just thinking that. In my High School band I would always get mad at my fellow flutist that couldn't sit still. Too distracting from the entire band. I always sat still. :]

[AHitler18]

Excellent. One of the greatest pieces of music played brilliantly.

[luv2luvmusic]

Along with the excellent sound, the background fits very nicely to create a pleasant atmosphere. I too, am a flutist and I hope to one day develop my playing into this! Brilliant!

[sweety2511]

wow thatcwas amazing i relly liked it, flute is beautiful, i am flutist and i think you guys are great great i am starting with my classes.. i would like to be just like u

[rodriguezclassical]

outstanding, that's one of my favorite pieces of classical music.

[nnouk]

OMG! this song is awesome, there is so much going on, wow! I love the trills. i like how u guys dress differently , thats good.

[nnouk]

im very curious is there a baroque flute part for this. I play flute and piccolo, im starting a flute choir in my high school. I really want to be like u guys, i like how there is one guy, because im the only guy also, im first chair flute/piccolo.

[Japanman888]

exquisite

[evilreigns]

OH WOW! it's amazing!! lol, yes, it's amazing BAROQUE music. but i still love anything "celebrational" handel writes!!

[xiaosu25]

G.F.Handel Rocks!! Love this.

[nadiab13]

wow thats pretty good i love classical musical ... wish i could be that talented maybe some day ;]

[maze1searcher]

technically this isn't classical music. It is baroque music, but then most people lump baroque into classical.

sounds great though

[13rollsroyce13]

great job
