Hans Zimmer scoring Pirates of the Caribbean

[birdieluva1531]

I would love to be part of that orchestra..those lucky musicians, talk about an opportunity of a lifetime

[91Hatcher]

My absolute favorite composer for movies.

[themeleed]

How does one get to sit where the musicians are sitting? Are they freelance, or part of some company?

[SpinyMcSpleen3264]

Hans Zimmer and Mark Mothersbaugh should collaborate someday... the two strangest composers in all of cinema. Hans with his unconventional acoustic/electric creations and Mark with his circuit bent Devo stuff. XD

[jorgen1990]

The Kraken :)

[Dufflad08]

1 person dislikes this? how moronic.. I would like to see them do this.

[MrLoullers]

Absolutely one of his best pieces! :D

[rjmprod]

Yea 1:58 to 2:03, that's never been done before, except maybe by a little known Arranger/producer by name of George Martin...ring a bell? Sgt Pepper LP "A Day in the Life" Maybe you were absent from memory retention that year, or just never listened to the classics, or maybe you just want to take credit for something you nipped. Don't feel bad Jimmy Webb did the same thing with MacArthur Park. lol

THANK YOU, HANS ZIMMER!!!

Vielen vielen Dank

[aztaclalz]

I just love the fact that americans must be so butt hurt that he's not from the US. If he was a random german guy, they'd call him "nazi!" - Now, they pay respect to him. Keep doing that US, keep showing respect.

[nikumuMINA]

@aztaclalz all americans dont give a shit he isnt.... wake up , dont generalize coz u see 0,0000000000000001 of americans saying that.....-.-

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz who called him a nazi? wtf ppl. Music is a universal thing.

[aztaclalz]

@grumpyzrp Americans, because they're lesser minded, well SOME are.

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz Calling americans "lesser minded" is like generalising all Germans as Nazis.  Stop

[aztaclalz]

@grumpyzrp Did you notice how I wrote SOME are? Wow, you must be one of them...

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz At first you didn't. Re-read your first comment.

[aztaclalz]

@grumpyzrp I called them butt-hurt, which is very true? Also mentioned that they pay respect - And that they should keep doing it. You can't win, son. Sorry but you messed up :)

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz I was referring to this - "if he was a random german guy, they'd call him "nazi!" they: meaning Americans. Your generalizing all Americans of being idiots. I would say you're the lesser minded one

[aztaclalz]

@grumpyzrp Absolutely not - That's the case and it has been proven lot's of times. I am willing to say that all people from the US aren't redneck beaten slobs however. I'll give you that. Hehe ;)

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz Visit the states one day and you shall see. Try to avoid the south, a lot of people don't even know where Europe is. lol You have to understand how big the US is before you can really make a statement. People in European countries tend to learn about the whole of europe in school, maybe even asia. Americans on the other hand, tend to learn about the US and surrounding countries. For reasons unknown, we don't really learn too much about Europe or Asia. I'm talking about grade school

[wilky1189]

@grumpyzrp well one of the reasons is that all the countries in europe are about the same size, maybe a little smaller, than the american continent. so in a sense, we're learning the same amount of material.

[beatle4fan]

@grumpyzrp Wow, you are extremely ignorant about "the south." I would suggest learning a bit more about your own country before worrying about Americans' knowledge of foreign countries.

[grumpyzrp]

@beatle4fan I used to live in the South, and I moved recently to the UK. The common response was: "is the UK in Europe?" "Where is the UK on a map?" "What does the UK stand for?" "You're moving to London??.... I have lived in 5 different states so I know a bit.

[grumpyzrp]

@aztaclalz BTW could you tell me where you are from? Germany I am guessing.

[aztaclalz]

@grumpyzrp Nope, what makes you think that?

[RyanSparrow92]

what an honour it would be to be along side with such a genius

[ZIG0707]

What is the name of the score starts @ 0:07 - 0:17 ??

[99francesco]

What a beast lol. Still think madagascar is one of his best works. Amazing the way he managed to capture the essence of the movie whist incorporating characteristics of african music

[pixarpianofreak]

someone missed the like button.

[ExhaustedPenguin]

wtf did Zimmer smoke before he wrote that part at 1:42

[Wardog2008]

@ExhaustedPenguin That was not part of the composition. It's a glissando cluster, a well known tool of composers.

"Inspiration comes from the sheer terror of trying-to-get-it-done." <- That's going to be on my new coffee mug :P

[BarnabyJones101]

this all sounds verrrrrry similar. all of a high standard of musicianship of course - but he recycles a LOTTTTT in terms of scoring. give me morricone, mancini, williams any day, for stirring the emotions. hans can leave you cold

[netaneld122]

Hans Zimmer is a pure genius.

[AAAstudioz]

wut is the string techniques called and how is it written at 1:44-2:35

[peppersax]

A great composer indeed. I loved what he did on "The Peacemaker". He can thank the masters, Igor Stravinsky, Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith among a few for his abilities.

[derdude]

one of his best works!

[Razer94ever]

@derdude not one of :) it´s the ONE!!!

[tehpeasant]

@Razer94ever I like Gladiator more

[ramzeysid]

that first line!! TOTALLY AGREED! it does work!

[badseed136]

Thanks for posting.

[Neofran15]

this man is truly amazing!
