Napa Valley Youth Symphony plays Danse Bacchanale by Saint-Saens

[musiclover754]

if they were anything like the YO i was in, i'd say there are all these gray haired youth symphony members because they bring alumni in for concerts xD just a notion :)

[sotippytoes]

youth symphony? o_o

[Rocklin5]

love 6:42 - 7:28

[nvgorcum]

Nice, except for the oboe solo in the beginning... too fast, and the sound is small, in stead of a full sound..... the duet with the english horn in the middle sounds nice though.... But I love the percussion at 6.40: Good job!

I just can't help but wonder... why are there so many adults? Like... there are 2 young oboists and 1 young english horn player, so why an adult extra on oboe?

[Pikapal1]

Slow.... very slow.

[Kerri2Kaitlyn]

our youth sym[hony played this song.... it was a much smaller orchestra and daaaaang we sounded just the same GO MLYS!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilkuke]

6:39 = my favorite part. maybe it's because i'm a percussionist, so i'm biased :P

[billbobfrd]

Lol this youth orchestra sure hired alot of adults to play with the kids....

[mikeyjrn]

If this is a youth orchestra, why does the 1st clarinet player at 1:00 look like he's 50?

[oracle2world]

@mikeyjrn - They ran out of "utes".

[DeyaIV]

I like it a lot, I do not have a lot of knowledge about musical instruments and how to play one, but I know about music, and this is very nice, I guess when you have a lot of knowledge little or insignificant differences in the play ruin it, thank goodness I can appreciate music from my own point of view, it is a five star!!!

[hazukaj]

ummmmmm...wow! that was incredible. our intermediate students played the shorter version and were very good. but you guys were AWESOME!!

[BigGermanBassoonist]

I don't know why, but for some reason, the stringed version doesn't do it for me. I mean, it sounds so mainstream contemporary with the strings. The wind ensemble arrangement by Kenneth Singleton sounds so much better, especially at the parts at 1:02 and 5:35.

But nonetheless, good job guys, I know my middle school band wouldn't be able to play this piece.

(but my senior band is...)

[Iwannabubbletube]

I'm sorry but the solo at the beginning was unbelievable fast. It should be much slower, slower that at 2:00. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but that almost ruined it for me:(

[LilStewerdess]

It's a Youth Symphony, not the Berliner Philharmoniker.. give 'em a break

[Iwannabubbletube]

Oh, I realize that and I'm not blaming them, i just think it was a bad call on the conductor's part. Slower would have been easier anyway, that's why I couldn't understand it.

[maxumusprime]

I'm a high school oboe player, and I do the solo at like 1/4 of that speed. Except the jumps, those were closer to my speed. But I thought the solo was really good! Btw, my conductor NEVER decides how fast I play that solo....

[timmy998877]

Wait your profile says you're 25!!!

[malic124]

My high school band is playing this song

[huntkye]

who's the conductor?

[alisomethingo]

Ming Luke.

He's an incredible conductor.

: )

[huntkye]

i thought so! he's my conductor now. for modesto symphony youth orchestra. and we're playing this song at our next concert
