[Tokyogirls05]

I love it. it's so deep

[fredrik91holmen]

like if you came here because of the moonrise kingdom trailer

[axecalibore]

I'm here because of The First Churchills.

[majosefalopz]

Like if you're here because of Pride & Prejudice!

[Imthedragonreborn]

@majosefalopz please, I hate that movie. I'm here because of Benjamin Britten

[DonnaaMaguiree2010]

I'm learning this piece for my Grade 7 exams.. Is there a link to an accordionist playin a slightly slower version of this piece? I've been lookin everywhere and I can't find one. Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

[LunaticLucario]

[Fancy4Glam]

Loves it. So rich.

[TheJenniejen]

Thank you for this upload. I truly love this version of the song.

[MsSuperwoman777]

[MsSuperwoman777]

I am playin this in the orchestra!!!!!!!

[samhaindk]

I love this, im playing this with my orchestra :)

[skatebugg07]

Awesome classic British music. Also in Pride and Prejudice and Elizabethtown.

[TheRobertTaggart]

B. Britten did not improve on this !

[Gabriele25]

Dass ist echt sehr schön gespielt und sehr aufregend und klingt sehr hervorragend. Es ist sehr gleichmäßig und sehr Schwungvoll.

[mariveneta]

Thank you, andrewgrummanJC, for the brief explanation. I can now look for he whole work because this rondo is a real piece of genious, so elevated and noble.

[Gretina22]

Io La Suono Staseraa! I LOve PiAno

[elperritopiloto]

Good.

[Egapigen]

oh.. baroque music when it's best!

[linlovesthedoctor]

Reminds me of Pride and Prejudice now

[darkangellivs]

@linlovesthedoctor that is because Dario Marianelli adapted this song for Pride and Prejudice.

[mmasseo]

Cool, they use this in a lot of places, I like it best in Intellivsion's Thunder Castle game ;)

[Violetatorelli]

Monumental!

[sasson37]

Thanks to share this nice Masterpiece. Greetings.

[jrdennis95]

Oh my, I remember playing this years ago for Grade 3 or 4. Such a long time ago, wow!

[13crickets]

Yuriy, my good friend, thanks for sending this excellent video. The music, of course, is outstanding (I'm certain Percell would appreciate my opinion :) ) and the images match perfectly.

Pura Vida!

Ron

[ALBINOSMALELIONSBEST]

Great and awesome video and of course five stars. ***** stars.

[theresa90210]

this makes the hairs on my neck stand up. its such a beautiful piece of music.

[anthonyJKH]

This music makes me euphoric!

[donnyab]

damn why is this so short

[SomeDumbYankee]

@donnyab Check out Britten's "Young Person's Guide To the Orchestra" which takes this theme and has a lot of fun with it.

[verces86]

@donnyab Couldn'tve said it better.

[Fancy4Glam]

@donnyab I know. I love it!

[Jessyeklimt]

Perfect! This is the right tempi!

[pelphro]

Absolutely divine! This type of orchestration just shows what a God there is who can give the human spirit such inspiring sound. This piece truly

lifts my hope that someday we'll all live in

peace and harmony. Thanks for posting!

[sethvold]

Interesting how this one composer can evoke such strongly universal feelings with both funeral marches and pieces like this. He really had the touch for manifesting powerful and evocative experiences of something beyond ourselves.

[Antphoneigh]

this tune is sooo catchy and i love it. why can't we have this kind of music anymore!

[sieunhan7b]

@Antphoneigh your right

[pc0sence]

"Finest native composer of England"....

Well yeah, he died before the turn of his century, and Händel showed up two decades later. It just would not have anything to do with it?

Anyhoo, he owned less time than say Händel or Dowland.

[sists43]

Just for the record, Handel is German, so he isn`t native English composer.

[Montyleeny14]

@pc0sence well... as long as you don't define Handel as a british composer then i'm happy :)

[recessionlover]

Just for the record. Purcell is an Irish name, so he is not as native English as you think.

[CrazyLalalaiin]

we payed it on the summer concert from the school with our orchestra

[cavendishable]

Pour prolonger le plaisir provoqué par " Pride and prejudice " de J. Wright, j'en ai fait une analyse psychologique intitulée "Darcy et Elisabeth ". J'ai essayé de traduire les images en texte écrit. J'ai publié mon travail sur lulu et bientôt en tant qu'auteur et éditeur sur google books. J'espère que quelqu'un pourra me lire et me dire ce qu'il en pense.

[vawsapphireftwayne]

j'ai aimé votre version de la chanson. désolé mon Français peut ne pas être que grand, je suis américain, si tout va bien vous pourra comprendre ceci !

[cavendishable]

nice email. Thank you so much!

[evilemonattack]

AMAZING!!!!!

[ThePastorale]

Absolutely love it

[DarkAce3434]

I can almost play the whole Movement of Rondeai

[cavendishable]

Darcy et Elisabeth

[AndromedaAiken]

Yep! That was my first thought too! :)

[cavendishable]

très beau

[Ravematey]

Just played this in a concert on Sunday in St. John's Smith Square with Harrow Young Musicians!

Symphony Orchestra Viola

[MadCircle01]

nice! how did it go?

[Ravematey]

Went really well!

[MadCircle01]

keep it up.

[1ojluvsmusic8]

is a longer version on youtube anywhere?

[blauemondkatze]

The piece is as short as it is :)

[LARUSSALVAT]

Only the piece written by Benjamn Britten "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" based in this rondó, can be heard longer than the original by Purcell.

Good luck!

[Judeldidu]

<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wironalga]

Henry Purcell rules!

[Cerulean0987]

I just love this piece! It sounds so regal. I feel like I am visiting the British royal court.

[0ct0parr0t]

short but sweet. love it

[Bente684]

Hi, does anyone know in which key this Rondo is? Is it Fmayor, or not? And does it changes?

I need this answer very fast,

but thanks anyway!

Bye

[cutefidgety]

D minor. but it changes to F major in the middle, then back to D minor again.

[Bente684]

Thanks, do you also possibly know which instruments there are? I thought 2 Violin parts and a harpsichord, but do you know if there's a contrabass and celli in it to? Thanks!

(It's for school (A) )

[starsupinthesky]

I love the way Purcell always manages to convey such emotion...

[smitschagen]

Purcell rules, few in this world had a talent like him, Mozart yes, Monteverdi, Bach was such a craftsman but I like music from the guts, deep down. Listen to Stanley Turrentine... it is of all times

[ethalinia]

One of my all time favorites, I love how the mood changes in the middle, it's like, a storm at first, and then, starting at 0:44, a ballroom scene :D

[agentclank05]

my fav

[Domeniko09]

Questo pezzo lo suonerò con il quartetto , è molto complicato portarlo a tale velocità!

[muzicbunny]

i played this piece for my grade 4 exams.

i luv this........

[pyre743]

Nice I`m learning this on my Violin class I`ll send you all me playing rondeau ok?

[Judeldidu]

Wow. A baroque peice that's actually good.

[englishrose47]

Baroque rocks!

[NashWolfy]

Heh :)

This is great, thanks for uploading.

[englishrose47]

I agree, it`s great, I love it, but I can`t take the credit for uploading it. It `s andrewgrummanJC you have to thank. Just as your e-mail popped up, I was listening to Purcell`s "Dido`s Lament" on Classic FM. How surreal is that?

[gdbalck]

Magnificent.... One of my all time favorites

[QueenLucyThe2nd]

;x it sucks that Purcell died so young... I love his work *0*

[starrylim]

I'm looking for the violin sheet of this. Anyone have it? I've been looking for it for a LOOOONG time, but I just can't find it.

[lovemustdie]

I have a hard copy of it that my school orchestra is playing. If I can figure out how my scanner works, I can scan it and send it to you. (I only have the second violin part, though...)

[starrylim]

Cool. I'm looking for the first part though. :( But thank you! :DD

[majav15mg]

gorgeous

[Melina121]

Bellisimo!! Adoro a Purcell!!

[Arch5280]

Who are the performers????

[wironalga]

The tune Benjamin Britten choose for his Young person's guide to the orchestra. A revelation.

[Polluxgeminae]

.

It's magnific!

[Pipererer]

[WhosAlex]

[missdarcy1202]

[NebetHetTD]

Que belleza! nada mas y nada menos que de la epoca barroca sin duda la mejor de todas! Henry Purcell de lo mejor

[userblue]

Aaah, why so fast?

[cheerpedge41]

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!!!!

[kly45]

anyone know where to find the overture?

[ozkr08]

Actually it is from a theathrical play, no an opera.

[kly45]

yes but there is still an overture

[ozkr08]

well, the structure of the theatrical play don`t is included an overture and this is a "dance" compoced for this play.

[BaroqueMusic89]

I love this song so much. It is on the movie pride and prejudice. :)

[muzicbunny]

i luv this piece.

[emerald40000]

.....right

[jackeddemon]

no rly, look it up

[xhelenaxmcrx]

this is a long list of replies...

[yashil17]

no, the actual song in the Baroque era by Henry Purcell was probly a really long and dificult piece, but then it might have been arranged to be easier for the grade 4, i do know

[DrKorn5]

its only a rondeau though and a baroque rondeau follows a very specific why to be written and they arnt very long. Thats just Rondeaus though.

[yamiyugikun]

God bless you immortal Purcell, truly stunning beyond words.

[bevy]

It's amazing.

It goes from a dark feeling to something somewhat light-hearted

[pollodisossato]

very nice music!

[clivemclane]

It is wounderful, but i find, Britten's play is a bit better...

[nessie96]

Bravo Henry Purcell...love this piece!!!!

[rockygravo]

This was my wedding song, i love this

[AYTECHTOGO]

i heard somebody else playing this, i just got completley into it, its like the song grabs you into liking the music!

[yashil17]

Brilliant!

[VictoriatG]

I love this song. It´s so beautiful.

[jftsang]

I love this.

[weavva01]

Thank you so much for the synopsis of the play! I'm writing a paper on this piece and have seriously looked in vain for hours to find what the play is about. I probably haven't been looking in the right places, but either way, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[oldun52]

And this tune was used by Benjamin Brittan as the basis for his "Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra.!

[panicattdfan]

Baroque ftw. XD

[justinmichael22]

I love this song. I've been playing it loud in my truck lately! :P

[Trebleviolin16]

Gosh I love this song. I can play it on violin. So beautiful

[Shogunmiyuchan]

Henry Purcell, when he died, was interred under the organ of Westminster Abbey, where his epitaph reads in Latin, "Here lies Henry Purcell, who has left this life and has gone to that Blessed Place where only His Harmonies can be exceeded".

[Vielvb]

Great vid and song
