GLEE Moonlight Sonata The Swingle Singers

[imslimshades]

I felt so classy when I recognized this song

[Ilovefriesians]

@imslimshades Me too :D

[JoyGgrapelovezX2]

This song is awesome. And Glee is awesome. Thank you so much for uploading :)

[marthynajosh]

I think it's creepy, just think of it, think about a creepy stories and that as the background music

[xShangTsungx]

So clean...beautiful.

[JasmineRachelle22]

i've been looking SO LONG for what this song was! ):

[Nidhogg151]

Anyone else expecting Earthworm Jim to pop out somewhere?

[bluegrassreb1]

glee is shit!!

this is awesome!!!

[ScreamingOphelia]

Oh, Brad Falchuk. I love how you just keep ruining your own formerly awesome show.

[BRYAN653790]

The Swingle Singers are the best at what they do, @joluciodasilva I think you should keep uploading swingle singers tracks (related to glee or not). :-)

[diamyo42]

I personally don't give a rat's behind about Glee but I love the music from the Swingle Singers

[ninjagirlninjagirl]

@diamyo42

same here :p

[barinicesinger]

@diamyo42 AMEN, fool!!!!!!!! Glee is WAY too overrated.

[HMistry100]

i remember when they played this on glee, it was when quinn found out she was pregnant

[betlbetoa]

THANK YOU...AWESOME....THE BEST VERSION!!!!

[TheDingy666]

wow wish they would do Mozarts requim now that would be awesome

[Soopytwist]

How's this for random. Watching series four of The Two Ronnies (1975) featuring Swingle II led me here.

[MrA83L]

can you help me out, what is the soft piano instrumental they play towards the end of the pilot episode, its when emma shows will that video of when he was younger. please help

[MyCaetana]

I´m speechless! Pure beauty!!

[treyguadarrama]

i dont think glee deserves to have something like this on their show.

[OFlute96O]

Wow, this is beautiful

[jgirl39]

please don't throw rotten fruit at me, I just need to know - was this autotuned by glee?

[joluciodasilva]

@jgirl39 Nope! It was recorded by the Swingles in the 90s :-)

[TheTrollAmongUs]

Man, this makes me miss the magic in Glee's season one. Season two barely had The Swingle Singer's (they do the "doo doo doood oobada!" theme, lollll) and it was just different.

[Sharkgirl94]

@TheTrollAmongUs oh yeah i really miss it too that was really magic in season 1

[albuminglobulin]

just wow..

[doubleDdog09]

this is what they were playing when Puck confronted Quinn when he found out she was pregnant with his kid. Most dramatic music ever played in Glee! I love it! :)

[Mike0Powell]

I wish they would use this song more on Glee (but I don't think they will), you need to save it for when the emotion truely calls for it, but it works SO well when they do.

[ChrisKogos]

Do the 3rd Movement.

[angelofpainess]

so beautiful... <3 it (^_^)

[winifredatwell]

If it takes something like Glee to promote something really worthwhile, shan't quibble. But really - isn't it akin to using Mozart's Requiem as the soundtrack to tyre commercials?

[joluciodasilva]

@winifredatwell The reason it's labelled this way is that this recording was used twice on Glee... Season 1 Ep.1 and Season 1 Ep.4.

[hinasakukimi]

@winifredatwell ... Did you just compare Glee to tyre commercials? o_O

[MrDman05]

@hinasakukimi no, he said that Requiem for a Dream was used in a tyre commercial.

[hinasakukimi]

@MrDman05 They said 'Isn't it akin to Mozart's Requiem as the soundtrack to tyre commercials', which means that they were comparing it, whether or not it has actually been used in a tyre commercial. :3

[themouseofevil]

Beethoven would be very, VERY happy with this!! This is amazing, and it sounds like what he probably really imagined, more so than a piano can emulate

[sporks102]

OMFG!!! when i first heard this on glee, i was like, O.O i simply LOVE moonlight sonata! and to know that they didn't add all that "show musicality" and just stuck to teh original, just makes me happy!!! :)

[sporks102]

@macychick you mean when they switch off between flashbacks? lol

[SensuStrikte]

Bethoveen would be proud.

[nico86jeff]

juste magnifique

[colliezoya]

I really don't remember in what scene this song was used...

[GleeKurt1]

@colliezoya In preggers (1x04) when quinn finds out she's pregnant

[colliezoya]

@GleeKurt1 Oh right....it's been quite some time since I saw that episode...

[makkur0kurosuke]

@joluciodasilva It's a beautiful arrangement but it's good to know that the original composition is from Beethoven :)

Anyway thanks for having shared this delicate performance. I had to chase it down the net to find it and I'm glad to have discovered the Swingle singers by this way.

[aldwin1213]

the swingle singers will definitely sing this to the 2 person who dislike this when they die :)

[hcybtiw]

2 people hate good music.

[bacunatamuk]

at what part of glee does this come out on?

[g3org33r3]

I don't even like glee but this is brilliant! They've captured the haunting nature of this movement perfectly.

[happy2405]

Love Moonlight Sonata <3

[arjant90]

genius

[gonadlady]

something like this should only be done by trained singers like the swingle singers so i HOPE glee didnt try to do this...

[scrbnrs]

OMG!! This is one of my favorite pieces of classical music. This arrangement is stunning!

[cnotenesmith]

This song made me feel like I was dying! A great thing, kinda...you know what I mean lol!!!

[cesspitpool]

What's the music that plays in episode 3 when mercedes asks Kurt if he's ever kissed anyone?

[villejean]

Semplicemente perfetto... Bellissimo!

[MrSamross93]

i always used to hear this on Glee and wonder what song this was. I love this.

[TheJonasKingdom]

hmm reminds me of like when quinn was pregnant or summin

[OzJohn666]

so good to hear real music . . . performed by real singers

[EvilAngel7765]

thanx!!! :3

[ThatRomyKate]

What scene was this in?

[PinoyDude753]

@ThatRomyKate probably a sad scene maybe

[ottawaalfie]

@ThatRomyKate It's used during a part when the Glee club is starting to fall apart in the "Pilot" episode. Rachel scares Finn when he closes his locker door and she beings to ask why he wasn't at rehearsals. Soon after Quinn and Santana come around and question why Finn is even aknowledging Rachel. Hopefully this helps! It might be played elsewhere in the series but I remember this scene with this music the most.

[macychick]

What is the little vocal piece that they sing in between the scenes all the time on Glee that goes, "do-do-do-do-do-do-do-DO!" Sorry I can't describe it better.

[EvilAngel7765]

this is so awesome, i wish i could download it!!!! :3

[Princess27847]

@EvilAngel7765 you can use mp3 and mp4 converters for you tube vids. Just use google and type in: convert youtube to mp3.

[RayRoark2009]

This song would make a tough guy cry, it sure made me cry lol ;_;

[kkoganei]

wooo... very beautiful...

[ohaierick]

DSKJFGN:KDSJAB:GVKJSDNKFSKLADF­J:LKNDCVKBHSDOGIJSLDKJV

<3

[musicman7416]

swingle singers = THE SHIT.!!!!  nuff said... thumbs up if you agree.

[guitarman14339]

The Swingle Singers are amazing and i feel so honored to have had the 2 top choirs and the 2 vocal jazz groups at my high school experience one of the members of the Swingle Singers as a clinician

[lc13chiquis]

there's also a piano song everytime Emma and Will have a talk and it also appears when Finn and Rachel first kiss in the auditorium but i cant find it. Help anyone?

[Nerdyguy1010]

@lc13chiquis That song is called "Looking Back". You're sure to find it if you just type up "Looking Back Glee" or something along those lines in the search bar. Hope this helps!

[CaliforniaGirlie9542]

@lc13chiquis It's called Looking Back by Kerry Muzzey. You can find it on iTunes on the album Home Movies 2(:

[alexorange1212]

now when i hear this im like "ohhhh something sad just happened......"

[pinkvain]

my sis thought i was crazy when i said moonlight sonata is in glee lol

[boyspuros]

i heard this on glee and thought it was very nice cover of the sonata. i thought id never find it! yay!

[Kate121991]

i've never seen glee... however This is my favorite Beethoven song and then i love the Swingle Singers ^_^ and the fact that this is on glee makes me want to see it

[laal67]

Just Wonderful!

[Nislo3092]

Glee Forever

[bugsythewaffle]

What is the one acapella that usually accompanies a suspenseful or unhappy part of the show? Usually at the end of a scene.

[brucegbean]

nicely done!

[TheSaraBrimer]

Very relaxing :) Well done!

[21stcenturysongbird]

I love you guys so much!

[solarsonic928]

This is an awesome song.Its used in Resident Evil =)(Guy here lol)

[cartmanclone515]

When I heard this on Glee, I was all like, "Holy crap, it's the Swingle Singers!" I love their music, and it's great that you put up a studio-quality recording on YouTube!

[PaulThePuppetier]

@cartmanclone515 When I heard this on Glee,I was all like,"Holy crap,it's BEETHOVEN" I love his music.And acapella? awesome

[m0urningwerw0lf371]

@cartmanclone515 when i heard this on Glee, i was like "HOLY CRAP! it's moonlight sonata!" cuz i had NO IDEA who the swingle singers were...

[tigerlilly2712]

@cartmanclone515 When I heard this on Glee I was like, " Holy Crap!!! This is amazing!!!" I'm so glad to finally know who recorded it and to know they have such amazing talent.

[ergoapollo]
