Franz von Suppé : Light Cavalry - Overture

[aammyyrroossee1]

We sight read this the other day in wind ensemble, and we did pretty good. We still have rough spots, but it's starting to sound better. Hopefully, we can sound like this.

[broadwayjunkie1]

We read this in my Wind Ensemble today, and after we played it my director pulled it up on his iPod. We all hung our heads in shame.... Great piece!!!

[verysign123]

Szczęsliwego nowego roku ludziki :))

[ChrisJonesP]

[TheWild365]

I'm doing this for my audition...g8 and only had around 4-5 days to prep....it's really good but it's really scary too :)

Great music :P

[DanaChan11]

I just love how the top comments are related :p

[purplehaze216]

@DanaChan11 I love when the top comment is about a top comment being great, thus taking the place of the top comment that is said to be great

[extraleague01]

This music was put to great use in the last episode of anime "Irresponsible Captain Tylor" TV series.

such an awsome piece of music... normally I am not the guy who listens to classical music during spare time but this is really an exception :P.

[shaddalee]

[rayandreina]

The year: 1866.

[NickTerra1]

@rayandreina Ah, the 60's! :)

[somedudenamedmilan]

nice looking fellow...

[classicalop125best]

This can't but help remind one of Tennyson:

"Half a league half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred:

'Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns' he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred."

You can hear the valley of death between 4:09 and 5:13

[gaiacaecilia]

@classicalop125best I'd never noticed that but now you come to mention it...

Thats one of my favourite poems and i've never put it with thier piece before. Thanks for mentioning the link, i appreciate it.

[Victor20376]

@classicalop125best A very good exemple of the stupidity of the "Commanding officers" in early wars: Charge at any price ! Unfortunately, they took no lesson of it, because "they" did it again in WW l (on all fronts) and even the Japanese did it in WW ll, followed by the North-Coreans in 1948-1952.... Crazy.

[broadwayjunkie1]

@Victor20376 *Koreans

[Victor20376]

@broadwayjunkie1 Sorry, friend but you are right. The fact that I wrote it wrong was my (temporarely) confusion of languages. In my mothertonghe (Dutch), we too...say Korea,(and: Koreanen) but...in my second language, French, they call it Corée. (and Coréiens).

I am aware that I (sometimes) write a mistake in one or other of the eight languages that I use to react... "Errarum humanum est". (^_-)

[emdac00]

Does anyone know as to what cavalry regiment or engagement this is a tibute to?

[rotweissrot100]

@emdac00 This isn't a tribute to any regiment or engagement, but the ouverture to a comic opera (about a young lady and an Hungarian hussar), which at the time was seen as poking fun at the Imperial Austrian Army. For his composition Suppe made use of bugle signals of the Austrian army, which may explain why quite a number of people mistake this ouverture as a piece of martial music.

[pjsage921]

the cavalry of today are helicopters this music is bloody perfect for them

[guitarcachovaldes]

Esta es la mejor versión que ya he escuchado, principalmente valorando la dinámica y el quilibrio de los diferenres ensambles sonoros . Borges había ecrito un corto poema para exaltar el brillante estribillo de la llegada de la" cavalry " : ( _Lo corrieron de atrás, lo corrieron de atrás, le metieron un palo en el cuuulo! ) Enjoy it

...i play this with my music band on a concert I LOVE CLASSIK!!!!

[chico00566]

A primeira vez em que escutei trecho desta música foi num desenho animado.

[Teardai]

whaddup public domain!!

[TheOrlandometal]

I AM A CHILD OF THE ORCHESTRA OF VENEZUELA AND WE ARE PLAYING THIS WORK IS GREAT! GREETINGS TO ALL FROM VENEZUELA!

[xNecroKey]

2:22 for the best part

[zuiderzee98]

I agree with some other posts---this piece was destined to wind up as a signature tune of cartoon-land. While it is played in a plethora of animated shorts to denote horseback rides, it's simply chase music at its best. It gets the most use in "The Worm Turns" a Mickey Mouse short. In fact, Suppe's music, misused as it might be, was his ticket to immortality. Thank you, Mr. Suppe.

[connorross123]

I've yet to find a piece in A Major that I dislike.

[3mdick]

We had this same LP. That's long playing (vinyl) record for the young 'uns hahaha. One of my favorite pieces.

[ManUnitedFreak94]

4 people do not have a sense of music or anything..

[kimisizer]

0:35 I think someone held the note a tad bit longer

[meteormanmike]

I will never be able to hear this without thinking of Mickey Mouse.

[Kermitfrog101]

I love the clarinet cadenza (solo)! I play this in symphony (clarinet).

[amyk27333]

Goodluck to everyone Attending the william s hart honor band auditions tomorrow and sat.

[Saxplayer616]

William S Hart. Honor band Nuff said

[dragoncrazed12]

Ugh... Honor band audition... I am going to DIE.

[minni3star]

@dragoncrazed12 me to!!!!



[ryan93bob]

This is boring

[dragonscarz13]

@ryan93bob So was your mom. I was sorely disappointed that night.

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

@ryan93bob Sorry to hear this bores you. Next time try searching "Jonas Brothers."

[killermusic75]

this helps so much i have an audition with this piece and this recording has helped sooooooo much! thnx a lot! =)

[HerSacredScars]

@killermusic75 Let me guess, honor band? Haha I do too :) So excited!

[tylrrvera]

yes, at 1:46 there is cleary a tempo change, however there is NOT an accelerando, because there was no gradual increase in speed, but a suddent tempo change.

[artin80]

great performance, and clear from tuning. Thanks for this recording.

[TheMartini1234]

1:44 accelerando much?

[Danktank091293]

@TheMartini1234 It is part of the music XD

[TheMartini1234]

@Danktank091293 I know, I was saying that it was probably the most dramatic/dynamic accelerando I've ever seen/heard and that in my orchestra, when we performed it, we didn't have an accelerando. I'm not stupid :/

[Danktank091293]

@TheMartini1234 I never said you were stupid, I'm just telling people that so that they are like "OH NOES!!!!!!! MISTAKE!!!!!!!!" but yes it was a little dramatic of an accelerando

[wierdo1232123]

@TheMartini1234 Its a tempo change.

[TheMartini1234]

@wierdo1232123 oh my god I KNOW WHAT ACCELERANDO IS

[wierdo1232123]

@TheMartini1234

No you don't

Accelerado is gradually getting faster either resulting in a tempo change or a 'a tempo' returning the tempo to the previous marking

A tempo change is when the tempo will suddenly change, or is lead into by an accelerando or a ritardando.

Look at the music before posting something like that. There clearly was just a sudden tempo change, not a freaking accelerando.

[indoorin]

Magnificent is all I can say to this piece of music.

[ZuperZeize]

I think it runs a little too slow maybe. But i still love this music! :D

[cmkennedy]

The first two minutes of this piece sound like they definitely influenced John Williams.

[sanspseudo5]

j'adore la mélodie lancinante des violons, en arrière-plan, à 1' 03

[svenlinotte]

Nice composition, I like this very well

[gbaune]

Welches Orchester spielt das, und wer dirigiert ?

[NegtiHasselhoff]

@gbaune Wenn ich das korrekt höre, ist es von Paul Parray - Detroit Symfony Orchestra aufgenomen. Schon lang her! '58 oder '59 glaube ich. Es gibt ne sehr gute Mercury Living Presence (SA)CD.

[xNecroKey]

2:22 for my favourite part

[NlandC]

Von Suppe, to me, is on equal ground with Wagner. Both have that same wonderful passion in their music.

[1donpizarro]

Qui interprète cette version? Il me semble, pour avoir déjà entendu un nombre certain de versions, que l'orchestre et le chef sont anglais (Thomas Greene, mais je n'en suis pas sûr à 100 pour 100). En tous cas, cette version me semble d'un bien bon niveau. Bravo !!

[MachiaveliTheDon86]

Noch jemand aus Darmstadt... :o)

[Halo101st]

Von Suppe is my hero.

[ricc413300]

is he your Suppe-r hero? XD

[Halo101st]

Hahahaha. Yeah, I guess you could say that...

[NewmanTheFrenchie]

@ricc413300

I love you

[lamamadind]

the trumpet at the beggining had a very clear and strong tone and this tone was perfect for this song about war. The highs and lows of the dynamics can really be felt at 1:25 to 1:41

[424aaa]

I thing at 0:33 could have been louder and catch the audience's attention. I think at 2:24, the slowing down part was little off. at 2:27, the trumpet soli or part could have been louder. I think other light calvary video is better mr. Gefter

[LiberalofLiberty]

everybody has their own interpretation. I don't see why people gave you so many thumbs downs.

[Lassann]

I'll save you, Nell!

[quesondriac]

@Lassann

How is Nell supposed to learn to stay off the rail road tracks if you keep saving her? I mean really!

[zipper179]

@quesondriac Just like, when Lassie has to save some retard who keeps falling down the same God damned well!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

@quesondriac But Dudley DoRight is always there in time.

[quesondriac]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 Sounds like a case of moral hazard to me. Oh, my, I can do whatever I want cuz Dudley will show up in time!

[kidgoldd]

trumpets sound like horses galloping

mr. gefter MG

[ivanhaydn]

and mr Suppe was born in Croatia... so am I.... and I am wery proud

[XDMasterCasterXD]

We played this in band XP woot for the bass part (bass clarinet here)

[Darkfan117]

Whenever I listen to classical music, all I think is, "No way anyone could pull this off. This is just insanely good music."

[Ramontico8]

@Darkfan117 this isnt actuall clasical music but whatever

[lekkerlolkat]

@Ramontico8 lol! Franz von Suppé's work not actuall clasical (sic) music... Not sure if trolling or just out of tune.

[unglaublichRodario]

@Ramontico8 You know that classical does not need to mean the epoch but may also mean timeless.

[gabiiiuuu]

@Darkfan117 you're damn right!

[Calc1o]

Beautiful music.

[mawamzo681]

Balls.

[writeitout123]

love this song.. playin it in band!

[octavine]

I love the percussions part....

[heavenbound34521]

this is definately one of the best recordings I've heard. very nice

[crazygrainger2006]

I'm playing Euphonium in this with my orchestra, because there's no tuba part for it. Nice.

[sonataofwind]

splendid work, I was in a middle school band, and i totally played this, those guys completely eclipse us.... *sob sob*

[musikzuggescher]

It's very good!

good recording, good intonation!

PERFECT!

[10203040frencHorn]

Isn't it perfect!?

[James10271027]

it is

[tinkerfan226]

we had to play this for jr. honors band and a really cute and good clarinetist played the clarinet solo and i wanted to hear it again but the thing started over=(

[vgiannakos]

Genius

[sstrunks5555]

2:30 reminds me of sick old cartoons. xD

[ClassicSteinwayJonas]

what do you mean by sick old cartoons??? by the way this song was played in micky mouse the one when he trade places with a king and at the end there was this song and it was just really funny because goofy broke the instrument.

[Coracoonta]

Splendid, really helps during studying. Clutch would be the word. :)

[evilkk3029]

i play the horn and this is probably the best march ive played, while it still has some rythmic sections only, like the constant quavers for 30 bars then straight into quaver semi quavers, can be a little annoying all in all its a great song

[SpecialStory]

Yeah, it looks really boring and repetitive, but everything around you is so cool that it's fun anyway. Plus the part at the beginning is awesome.

[JorPove]

El compositor lo que hace magistralmente es describir un desfile de la "caballeria ligera" en su tiempo (infanteria sobre caballos). Si suena aburrido y repetitivo...igual sucede con los desfiles militares actuales (solo han cambiado las armas y el tamaño de los que marchan al son militar...).

Me pregunto: No sera que lo aburrido y repetitivo es justamento eso. Como se podria arreglar ...?

[aventaes]

Its hard to come by decent versions of this on youtube this one has amazing quality of sound

[rushnerd]

@aventaes

Even though 240p is bottom of the barrel 88kps quality lol

[aventaes]

@rushnerd just listen to it it sounds great doenst it? cant hear much of a diff between this an the cd

[rushnerd]

@aventaes

Yes it is a good transfer, but not being able to tell the different between a highly compressed 88kbs MP3 and an uncompress CD Wav files might mean you have hearing loss.

[fieldofview]

man, this is awsome

[23danb]

supperb superbissimooooooooo

[Pigelmann]

Thanx for uploading!! Very good, the entire ouverture without any disturbing surroundings

[kirdorf16]

Eintracht!

[DetKriger]

Einfach genial!

[gpelaez]

Thank God for the old cartoons with classical music. Now i can appreciate the quality of this masterpiece.

[theBaron0530]

@gpelaez --Very true. Warner Bros. cartoons introduced me to a lot of classical pieces, when I was a kid. That's where I also first heard Raymond Scott's music ("Powerhouse", "The Toy Trumpet" and others).

[ilovebobthecat]

@gpelaez Absolutely correct. Now today, what kind of craaaap! do you think kids are hearing in the background. Makes me want to puke.

[elederer]

@gpelaez I saw that cartoon too (way back when I was child) - it's on yuotube too
