Clariperu: Bach - Toccata and fugue for clarinet ensemble

[Kinder99Bueno]

Wouahhh !!! Wouaaahhh ! Et Wouaaaah ! :P

[TheKlarinettist]

Tubas, move outta the way! Here come the Contraclarinets! "BUZZZZZZZZ!!!!!"

[Acesshadow513]

I'm in the top band at my high school and I've been playing clarinet for 4 years since 6th grade and this year during concert season is the year I get to play the Bb Contra Clarinet! SO EXCITED :D

[SessionSavant]

@Acesshadow513 Hope your lungs are insured! :-)

[luklucens]

magnificent!

[Kalrevolution]

Contra bass isn't as good as everyone says. The Eb clarinet is way better

[darkromaster]

existe alguna manera de ingresar a estos ensambles?...

es maravilloso el sonido... Saludos desde chile

[xthemusicroomx]

I would die to play that Contrabass!!!!

[00hmath00]

[RitasSideofLife]

Fantastic!

[vascondi]

excelente sonido.........

[apc1no]

Why is it rushed?! Haven't you ever heard a recording of this! You don't rush, especially the fugue, it just sounds terrible. I like the contrabass sound though...

[JazzyPick]

EPIC!!!! :)

[1BleachNarutofan23]

I can play this song ok I guess. I would love to be in a clarinet ensamble. It seems like it would be relly fun. I think I'm too young, though.

[RockbottomRamzez]

OMG this is so amazing!!! i want to play this song but i don't have any kind of arrangement TT-TT

[boobsax]

I would like to know if this has been recorded ?

What was the exact instrumentation and how many on a part ?

Bravo

[GlenShannon]

Wow wow wow!!! Amazing performance! This is just like a Recorder orchestra except lots of reeds and keys. And an octave or two lower -- or three. And we would *never* attempt this piece :)

[DENZELMAURICE]

[CommentingPhantomess]

A-MA-ZING!

I love this on the pipe organ, but I think it may possibly sound even better on clarinet.

*whips out clarinet* Alrighty, I think it's time for me to practice... I feel just a little ameture after listening to this lol

[Alexklarinetten]

muito bom!!! e um abraço para todos que apreciam a boa música!!!!

[crediama]

eccezionale!!!

[BonMarcel]

wouah !

[LCsniper0511]

very nice, except for the one squek at 2:35, but otherwise fantastic

[hatstalker]

1 word . GODS!

[funky6musician]

its hard to believe the original score isnt written for clarinet....lolz....

[archlurps]

well you could say an organ is a collection of one-tune metal clarinets, or flutes, more like.

Anyhow, they're both wind instruments (although clarinet is woodwind I think, and organs are definitely metal, so closer to brass) so they have some common qualities.

It does sound remarkably "fitting" with clarinets, but it sounds a bit too much like a harmonica for my taste :P

[watchmaker2]

There are many types of organ pipes. Besides the straight tubes which sound like flutes, there are conical tubes with reeds which sound like clarinets and oboes. The pipe organ and a wind band can sound remarkably similar because of the variation of tubes as well as both "instruments" use wind to power the sound.

[bassoon334]

we have only ten people in our clarinet choir though

[bassoon334]

i wish that my clarinet choir could play that

[mattbanddork]

wow... I really want to play this song one day!!! :D

[xSnoweyexp]

Its not a song dude

[mattbanddork]

well what would you call it?

[xSnoweyexp]

Tocatta and fugue

[hatstalker]

how about calling it a tune?

[Keira13]

holy crap.

I'm a clarinettist, and I wish I could be in an ensemble like that

clarinets + minor keys = love<3

[ematarrita2]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOO!!!!! great ensemble!

[TehChocoholic]

beautiful.

[emoClarinetist]

dude. this is wicked. :)

[rondos84]

Wow ! amazing !!

[LkzJls]

1:05 Hurts even more

[hermanitostandil]

Marco: excelente material. Una versión hermosa. ¡Pero fíjate la cantidad y variedad de clarinetes que hicieron falta para asemejarse al órgano! Tus Boooooo... del clarinete contabajo se escuchan clarísimos. ¡Gracias desde Argentina!

[x0xOcEaNx0x]

How many varieties of clarinets are playing? I know there are bass clarinets and Bb clarinets but are there any others?

[marcomazzini]

There are alto, piccolo and contrabass clarinets in this ensemble. I play here the contrabass clarinet. Thanks for your question

[x0xOcEaNx0x]

Wow contrabass is neat! :D I play plain ol' Bb :P

[TREVAAA1234]

this is great! I really enjoyed it! [:

[bigmoe93]

hey can sumone help me,i just got two new reeds(size 4) and all i have is a reedy and airy sound that wnt go away and i have to play on a b45 cuse my m-13 broke can sumone give me sum advice,i sound horrible and i cant bare it anymore ,any other time i have a good sound but not with this reeds or b-45

message me

[nbafaninny]

if u play bflat clarinet, u should prbly get 3 1/2 vandoreans

Theyve worked for me.

[dimsimlord]

I use 6 Luries.... I am a contra/bassoonist as well as a clarinetist, so when I go to clarinet from bassoon, and especially contrabassoon, I need something that can handle my blasting... I also like the control you get with thick reeds; I can play higher than a piano using overtones/harmonics, weaker reeds can't handle the vibrations.

[nbafaninny]

where are tryouts for this group! I am an all eastern candidate in america and I was was wondering how to tryout.

[dibbuck]

the sound of a thousand ducks being raped

[Ylvaelxa]

I love this piece. We played it in clarinet studio the other day :D

[akamaru3]

This is absolutely awesome. :D

It makes me wanna play my clarinet more often than I do, even though I'm the only one who practices in my grade.

[xcracer2]

lol...get used to it...you'll get alot of that

[empires228]

Was there an Alto or a Contra alto in the choir?

[aspencer2004]

Thats what I'm talkin about!!

[oldjarhead]

Just stumbled on this neat video...the contrabass is terrific! What a great sound!! Everyone did good....

[marcomazzini]

Thanks for your kind comment ( I play the contrabass clarinet in this enseöble!)

[Novum07]

¡¡Maravilloso!! Bach estaría encantado si hubiera escuchado este ensamble...

[quintquintr]

Oh, that squeak...

[quintquintr]

The Contrabasses sound amazing! Earth-shaking, really...

[irisherin777]

I'm second chair clarinetist this is amazing where do i get it?

[Blehness123]

I play the Contra and wow. Amazing.

[quintquintr]

Eb or Bb?

[ZDrummer24]

I played this song in my high school band's wind ensemble on Contra bass, talk about a lot of fun. Would've been even better with just clarinets. Wonderful performance.

[felinofurioso]

I think this performance is brilliant...amazing how powerful clarinets can be. It sounds demanding but you all play so well. Great warm sound. Congratulations!

[xXSilverxluvxWolfXx]

contra bass, alto clarinet, and sopranno clarinets. it all equals great harmony

[kims40]

Yikes. Great job first clarinets. My god there is no place time to breathe yet good open tone was made. Great to hear! Bravo!

[marclavius]

This is great! It makes me really miss playing clarinet.

[cardaur45]

i have already heard some other performances including Marco Mazzini; he is simply a virtuoso! I really like

[quintron3]

The complete ensamble is great but the Contrabass Clarinet is AWESOME. Great job.

[marcomazzini]

Thanks for your kind comment ( I play the contrabass clarinet in this ensemble)

[klarinetta]

Eddy came to Iceland in 2004 and we had a Masterclass and concert for a weekend. He then played Leblanc OpusII Bb clarinet and an older Buffet A clarinet. One Icelandic girl Sveinhildur Torfadottir studied with him and almost all of his students were playing Leblanc at that time(he got go deal on them since he had a contract with Leblanc at that time). His sound is very smooth and fluid(like I find the Opus clarinet sound for me). We were then a bit shooked to know that he now plays Buffet Tosca

[nataclarinet]

Cool cool cool, impressive performance, what a great sound. Five starts (specially to bass and contrabass!)

[BestLaidPlans]

+5 to Contrabass and Bass Clars

[clarinetnumba1]

This is the most awesome version of Toccata and Fugue in D minor I've ever heard. Kudos to this extremely talented clarinet ensemble. GO Clarinets!!! ()>====>

[xeptix]

lol @ the reed squeak at 2:30 ish

[Marcu5r0xs0x]

that contrabass clarinet is AMAZING. just thought i'd put that out there.

[marcomazzini]

Its nice to read that people pay extra attention to the contrabass clarinet! I play that instrument in this group, and in this concert. I'm playing a Leblanc contrabass here. It was a very nice concert. Thanks for your observation.

[saintsaens21]

The whole ensemble plays great, but its true that huge contrabass sound rocks!

[Torkalicious]

I would kill to be in a group like this!! :] i'm one of the few at my school who is remotly good at what they play. And this was VERY good.

[staticdreams452]

i love this vid. this is one of my favorite classical pieces, and i love it even more because i play Eb, Bb, alto, bass and BBb contrabass clarinet :]

clarinets rule!

[LonerPoltergeist]

OMG! I thought this would be rather bad...but wow! This is reallllly weelllll done!!!!! Although, I must say I love the pipe organ better while playing this :)

[adamsb1mac]

Aww video, I love contrabass I have never played one, I only play bassoon and bass clarinet but the contrabass sounds great.

[GeddiGuy]

Clari-gasmic!!!

[Clariperu]

thanks! It was a nice concert

[napashotgunner]

I remember hearing that clarinets and pipe organs had the same physics...cylindrical tubes, etc. I guess the sound of this confirms that. Simply spectacular.

[Marcu5r0xs0x]

if that's the truth, then i would expect saxophones to have near exact timbre of sound, seeing as they are cyllindrical tubes, only brass, like the organ. i would love to hear this done by a saxophone choir, just to confirm my curiosity

[napashotgunner]

Saxophones have conical tubes, not cylindrical like clarinets or pipe organs. That means they have a lot more even harmonics (at least in the lower registers/octaves), so it would be a very different sound. I suspect it would sound more 'cluttered' since there would be more wave peaks to interfere with each other. Nevertheless, I'd like to hear it done with saxophones as well...

[quintquintr]

No, saxophones have CONICAL bores, not cylindrical, otherwise, they wouldn't overblow at the octave. That fact is also what gives them their unique timbre- a totally different sound from the clarinet.

[Sahasrara108]

really cool!!

[TheInnocentWolfe]

Awesome!

[hanyong89]

Wow! this is like. amazing man..

[joetighe]

thanks for posting!!...i love the darker european clarinet sound.

[HOMM5bozz]

that was fuckin amazing. it ALMOST sounds better than the original with the organ. BUT...the organ just has something about it. these clarinets rock tho!

[soundtech07]

COOL COOL COOL!!!

ContraBass ROCKS!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[Lui191]

sow sow for audio

nice for video

[twray26]

loved the squeal at 2:35!

[pureclarinet]

very cool!!

[luclee]

Bravo!! Very nice!!!!!

[felinofurioso]

if I'm not wrong, there is only one contrabass clarinet in this ensemble (and a contralto clarinet). What a sound!

[ghalpmb]

i love clarinet

[shizohal]

Nice!

[Pinklollypop4]

wow I'm loving the contrabass clarinet :P

[sarahnavarro00]

the first notes sounded horrible

[daisenseiciccone]

just a little strange, but not horrible.

[sarahnavarro00]

oh ok sorry but it was really awesome!!!  :D

[RepublicAgent]

Excellent work by the performers, no doubt. I'm just not a fan of the clarinet. Still, excellent work.

[whgcpis]

nice.

[piedownjoe]

Beautiful

[flyingcutie]

I enjoyed this very much. Wonderful performance. How do you audition?
