[pattyfromtoledo]

I'd love you to be the music teacher at my kid's school - - this is fantastic!

[TheDennyAblack]

love this - what was the frenchman's name? jean baptiste what?

[aalong64]

@TheDennyAblack Jean Baptiste-Lully, if I recall correctly.

[123fk]

[SmartStr33t]

I hope Aaron got 100% as well ;) Thanks for making this...

[Z3YS]

[hatstalker]

BAH-ROCK not Bah-Rowke.

[jfbecks17]

@hatstalker

Just depends what part of the world you're from, not a big deal.

[Kethvan]

Marvellously entertaining. :)

[92elrtv2]

I like your video- how did you do the animation?

[samwige9on9the9left]

Vingt-quatre violins de roi.

Roi = king, not Roy.

[Polluxgeminae]

How about the recorder and viols? they weren't even mentioned.

[demonninjaspider]

1:24.....that would've really hurt....

[joyfulnoise63]

This is very good! I would like to know how to do this.

[stargirlsusan]

i love this video, you should make more of all the different heras of music,

[eriksensei2]

Loved this... :D What's the trumpety bit in the beginning?

[aalong64]

@eriksensei2 "Cups and Cakes" by Spinal Tap.

[eriksensei2]

@aalong64 Ahh yes, I thought it sounded vaguely familiar, thanks a lot! Great job on your videos by the way; it would be great if all of musical history were available in this form. :)

[OriginalBasaliskos]

LMAO. Poor oboes.

[Bachlives2]

Fantastic vid and quite humorous but one thing Bugs me. Equal Temperament was not really used to the late late 1800's! almost the 1900's actually. Even List and Chopin used some form of 1/6 comma Mean tone...

[aalong64]

@Bachlives2 Ah, thanks. I didn't know that.

[tferrere]

very good vid!

[Brassman388]

Haha. The "Whore-ns"

[ShittiestChannelOnYT]

It's "Bah-rock" :)

[thrashitupX]

wait all this for a school project? you damn well better get 100 percent, that's a lot of effort.

[20MrBigmac]

soooo..... Jean babtiste lulieu barogued it huh?

[xxAsteriskxx]

The brass and woodwind instruments were stuck with all the boring bits like harmonies and bass parts . . . ehhyech

[AmericanBandanaStand]

great work, thank you very much, will be anxiously waiting for more

[An1MuS]

This great, you should make more =]

[HailThyDrumKit]

HAHA

[esteff22]

Lol the horns

[5619762]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ! simple and funny way to explain barque , thank you so much !

[snofthndr]

that made me lol

[b0ttomzone]

i love the old dude playing the harpsichord, and also that crazy guy on the timpani.

[Marmalade000000]

You're just BRILLIANT!!! I loved the vid!

[dvnstvn9]

u deserved a 100

[foghorn73]

Aaron you are a legend!!!

[amistrymister]

I love how you said "BA ROAK" LOL British Accent Fail.

[C33Four]

That's how my music teacher pronounced it and thats how I pronounce it. I'm in Chicago.

[mataplaa]

Hahaha I love Lully's look!

[jagsluiperd]

thats the american pronunciation, in french it would be bar-rock, similarly in italian an o is pronouned as in rock, never 'ow' like in english. but in US english i guess its pronounced like the english letter o :)

[aimeemariiex]

its a really good way to learn it :)

[PurrrincessLivvi]

I watched this at school :) Pretty impressive , I learnt alot :)

[Mahome123]

its 'learned a lot' fool

you obviously don't learn much

[marylinaguazu]

Impresionante el video. ¡Por favor hagan la traducción!!!!!

[murtsworld666]

Really great make more videos like this .

[cockroach2]

My name's Aaron too!

Awsome video. You should make a series

[cicaparlez]

Please, please, please do videos like this for classic and romantic eras. I wish they taught it like this in schools

Ta x

[crushy3]

Interesting style of animation, what program do you use, flash?

[aalong64]

Yeah.

[qfiggly77]

lol! that deserves a 150%.

[Mauveaulos]

Greaves gave you 100% on this, didn't he? Love the Robbie Gordon moment. XD

[korobushko]

very good video, informative, just annoys me how u pronounce baroque lol

its pronounced bah-rock

[aalong64]

Thanks for commenting.

Are you sure about the pronunciation? All the music teachers I've ever met pronounce it 'buh-rohk'.

I do live in Canada though. According to your profile, you're in the UK... Maybe that's why it sounds wrong to you. Also, I apologize for the lazy, inconsistent accent I gave the character! :P

[TheStockwell]

@aalong64 Both pronunciations are accepted. If conductors say it both ways, I'm not going to tear into Harnoncourt or Rilling for not being able to say the name of the music they regularly conduct. It's like the fights over how to pronounce "van Gogh" or whether you "correctly" write RachmaniNOV or go with the way HE wrote his name: RachmaniNOFF. It's just a question of how more-pedantic-than-thou do you want to be. I'm siding with H.P. Peckinshaw IV on this one; he seems to know his stuff.

[MercifulMe]

I'm also from Canada, and I've never heard it pronounced bah-rock. Probably a nation barrier xD

[djsuperbadd]

Surely 'baroque' is a french word and should be pronounced 'bah-rock'?

[MercifulMe]

Well, it's derived from barroco right? I can't imagine it being pronounced ba-rock-o can you?

[fagottehautboy]

Kick-ass vid, dude.

'cept that 30-piece band bit isn't true. since you mentioned Lully, at one point the opera orchestra under his "direction" (more like iron fist) was over 70 members strong, so the limit isn't really a limit.

regardless, excellent job. :D

[aalong64]

Thanks, I didn't know that.

[jss184]

I also hope you get 100% I really like your video. Can you teach me how to make one too?

From Matthew Sagar

[paskeesh]

bravo! bravo! bravo! informative + fun... you have a bright future ahead of you Aaron!

[shadyrosy]

Aaron, you deserve 100, I hope you get it. This video is absolutely brilliant and I can see how far along you've come since your 2006 vids. Well done. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your work. Best wishes for a great Christmas to you and your Dad and sister ....

[brucewalker]

Well, you've got 100% on YouTube for sure! :)

[bluepioneer]

well i hope you do get a good mark! this is really Interesting, and seems educational for people who need to revise! not me tough i don't study music, lol!
