Jeeves and Wooster Theme

[RickInDorset]

Brilliant!!! What a superb performance. Such a high standard.

Please don't take this personally (whoever you are) but it's a pity the cameraman (or woman) wasn't more musically aware of the arrangement and which musicians to focus on during this performance. It would have made this clip even better.

BUT: The music is the main thing here and I would love to know which orchestra or band the lead violinist is playing in now.

[SwedishHammerHawk]

good song, anyone else beleives that if more pressure was put on her arms they would break?

[lutzgrace]

@SwedishHammerHawk Ok ok, I get it, I was a skinny 13-year-old. Middle school was an awkward time physically for everyone. However, you should know that I play in a symphony now and my arms are still very much intact.

[SwedishHammerHawk]

@lutzgrace That is a good thing i suppose. hope you got more muscs on them now.

[HMservant]

Excellent talent there! A little angular in my opinion though.

[LoFlange]

Eugene, Oregon actually.

[Ellipsis14]

How fantasitc, good to see talent, and also playing one of TV's most finest Themes. very good!

[JulietBeyondGoth]

Topping! I love this show and its theme is one of my favourites!

[Blackwolff9]

NICE!

[MegamiTenchi]

Spurned by @Pankzas, and that we're not alone, look what I found! No promises it is this teacher's arrangement, but still! Search for Buffalo Music Ltd at their works available page, Jeeves and Wooster is right near the top.

[benir11]

id love 2 find its sheet music

[hellkhat]

wow! this is amazing i would love to hear this.

[Ockableck]

Wonderful splended job better than anything my middle school band ever played

[cdwattie]

this is pretty good

[NiallMor]

Ripping, simply ripping!

[jeremyshambles]

courage mounteth with the occasion , sir.

[MegamiTenchi]

Wherever did they get an arrangement of the score? I've certainly been looking for awhile and never found one!

[pankzas]

@MegamiTenchi Did you ever find an arrangement of the score? I'm looking for it too!

[InQuires]

I say! RIght Oh!

[gardentuber]

Awesome! Well Done!!! I love Jeeves & Wooster!<3

Every child (and if you're not a child anymore, it's not too late!) should learn to play an instrument!!! Too bad No Child Left Behind doesn't include music, or vocational Ed. Not everyone wants to, or needs to go to college to be successful. I work with this age group and the ones that play music have such a leg up on everything! Timing, performing, math, cooperation, tone(not just in the musical sense) vocabulary, and much more! <3

[lucke001]

o my god such tallent i just love it :) and jeeves and wooster !

[jimbobjimminy]

Epic win

[Traceurb]

i would of said there was more trumpet in the theme than any thing else but ok.

[Traininghopper]

I say that because they play more then the opening and closing credits.

[Traininghopper]

I wonder if they knew what they were playing...

[saytheremeg]

They bally well BETTER have! Everyone should watch Jeeves and Wooster.

Anyway, wonderful performance! I loved the pizzicato.

[crazypianolady]

Haha, they show plenty of re-runs on itv3 if they haven't seen it!

[Bhoeble]

I don't think ITV3 is available in America.

[YouFoolWarrenIsDead]

Beautiful and talented. A daughter or goddaughter of yours?

[Tied2TheTube]

fabulous!

[xinyuActor]

They must love the Jeeves & Wooster series so much! Like me!:)

[WearethePYROmaniacs]

Oh, man! That was great! Why couldn't my middle school have been so cool?!

[GothFlame]

My high school isn't even this good. XP

These guys are great!

[LittleBoiFen]

Bally good show!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Calm your self I meant Woodwind.

[SickOfFashion]

I am fantastically jealous of your school.

[basyngwie]

spectacular!

[agrgurich]

Splendid!  Jeeves would heartily approve.

[Mycologist]

C'mon, that's just mean, it's a middle school orchestra! You can't expect them to play like the royal philharmonic or something can you?

[JoeChrisMorris]

This is a hoot!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Just Piano and Violin?

[LoFlange]

It was a full orchestra, with violas, cellos and bass violins as well.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I'm not sorry, It just doesn't fit the JAZZ Format. Too many strings, not enough horns. Then again you weren't aiming to do that anyway.

[MelancholyDane]

Too many strings = not jazz? Tell that to Django Reinhardt you dunce.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

"Too many strings = not jazz" Not necessarily "not jazz" Because just about all "Classical Orchestras" Couldn't swing a note if their life depended on it (Show me one example and I'll take it back), or improvise!

Django Reinhardt is someone who knows how to make Jazz and not some cheep imitation! He used a Quintet! Only 26 Strings! Not a whole freaking Orchestra playing the same notes! Get it now chump!?

[MelancholyDane]

If you can't appreciate the musicianship inherent in, say, the New York Philharmonic then there's nothing I can do to help you. And just because classical orchestras aren't designed to improvise doesn't mean their individual members can't. In fact, they're just about always sublime musicians. If you had any idea what you were talking about you'd know that.

You didn't criticize them for being an orchestra. You criticized them for playing jazz without horns. Which is idiotic.

So I said so.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I criticized them for not fitting the format, not for playing without horns "It just doesn't fit the JAZZ Format" I said to many strings not enough horns because the original format had two string, two brass, one windward, one percussion, and one cross between string and percussion. It only had string instruments, which was not the right format.

[msabigal]

I say, that was awesome!

[nodnirGkraM]

Beautifully orchestrated. What ages are middle school?

[LoFlange]

Grades 6-8. These kids were mostly 7th and 8th graders.

[kwanongoma1980]

What actual ages are 6-8 grade?

[LoFlange]

Somewhere between 11 and 14.

[bladelinger]

you are as surprised as i am to see something as english as jeeves and wooster refenced in a middle school in LA

I have lived in london and glendale

[newdayyesterday]

Perhaps worth mentioning in the description that the original theme is by Anne Dudley... But I guess the arrangement was made especially for this band. Good work!

[LoFlange]

Good point. We actually bought the arrangements from her website.

[Bluequotations]

what a talent this young soloist is! well done young lady!

[grtmd]

I have been a Wodehouse fan for 20 years and have heard this theme probably 300 times - and I love seeing it played - by a midle school band no less. Wow. Great job!!!

[srwbd]

Wow! Great young talent, all around. I am envious and feel so ashamed...I can't even play the radio.

[drwalpurgis]

Fabulous!

Best wishes from the UK.

[electrogeek77]

My band never did anything this awesome.

[hagelkorN]

perfectly well done.

[TheNinthDoctor]

Excellent job! Love this theme. And go Oregon! :)

[Culumacilinte]

Wow; this is a middle school orchestra? I'm surprised- it's very good, especially considering the age group.

[blueshirttail]

Fantastic! Thanks for uploading this.

[zinedinemoriarty]

where did they get the music from?! I thought it was a terribly rare piece to get a hold of. The theme was also used in 'Mickey Blue Eyes'. It's merely called 'Jeeves and Wooster theme.'

[CedricWolfbane]

Well done

[somekidnamed]

I never knew Americans saw Jeeves and Wooster! Ah well, good job anyway.

[MiddnightLover]

Very nice! I'm so jealous, I've been looking for that sheet music since my middle school years. The main part's trying to find the title. What exactly is that song called?

[ThaliatheTiger]

The solo sounds great! I really enjoyed hearing this.

[evilspacealien]

this music is great...bravo on the performance...

[shinyhappyhairhead]

wow, that's so cool! where are you guys from?

[LoFlange]

Eugene, Oregon

[taylormayed]

Seems petty to mention it, but "Jeeves and Wooster" was nothing to do with the BBC. Sorry!

[soylamorsa7]

Really cool! I love that show, and this is a great performance!

[blinkie1]

I quite like this, thogh the beginning started off key from the original, but good work!
