loose the synthesizers so I can hear you play the piano better: ) Ferante & Tiecher have a good version of this song but it took two of them to play it. Old recording too. I dont think theres a version of this song on youtube that I like better than this. Well done.
A truly magnificent arrangement and performance of one of the greatest film themes of all time. I bought the LP way back in 1960. Ernest himself would have been impressed. Congratulations.
PianoPlayer07 Exodus is one of my Favorite Instrumental Pieces and you Sir have Made it better . You are a Rare talent. I salute you and Have become a Fan. In closing I say and caps intended WOW!!!!!!!!!!:)
hi marcus this is bridget you dont know me that much but dallen is my moms (patericia baker) sister(loren steaven) daughters(sharon neal) son(dallen neal)
A wonderful performance. You deserve all the comments you have recieved for this video. I found you whilst looking at cmariamagda's favourites and could not resist looking up your channel as you have the same surname as myself. Best Wishes David
Just rolling Am down the top half of the keyboard, then towards the lower half transitioning into the chromatic scale. After that the same thing except in Dm. That's about the best way I know to explain it to you. I hope that helps!
May I say BETTER than Maxim Mrvica, by far? And the other version at age 16 -- I have NEVER heard a 16 year old play like that!!! WAY BEYOND Maksim on the age 16 version. Far beyond Maxim in EVERY WAY. Of course, the anointing of the Lord is something the wold can't produce. Seriously, this is BEYOND brilliant. God has gifted you in the most awesome way! To Him be ALL the GLORY! He gets EVERY OUNCE of it! But thank you for sharing your talent and letting Him play through you!!!
I was just kidding. Actually the camera was lucky to keep up with you. P.S. I had trouble finding this again when I searched for "Marcus Neal Piano". It didn't come up. Then I noticed you don't have the word "Piano" in your tags.
However, I'm worried for your arm's muscles. Take it easy. Don't waste your excellent talent and musical abilities only on bravura-pieces. Balance them sometimes with intimate pieces. Try to imply the Alexander-technique's principals while playing and be careful not to strain your shoulders.
Thanks. Yeah, it does get a little tiresome after you do it for a while, but if you practice doing it enough it builds that muscle up and it isn't so bad. Nice playing yourself! Keep up the great work and God bless!
Excellent! Please help us by telling us the version of the score you used as a starting point. I have this one: Exodus - Main Theme by Ernest Gold (the "blue" cover obtained from sheetmusicplus). But, I think it is not the full version, even though it is not the "easy piano" one. I hate to waste time learning anything that is not the "real" version. In particular, the first chords are not the same ones you play.
That is the best version of exodus i have seen so far.I like yr rolling , n yr running up n down of the keys:) fantastic, u inspired me in the area of improvisation brother:)
Excellent work, Marcus!! On the "rolling thunder", is that a chromatic scale working its way up the piano? A little hard to tell with the background music. Very cool!
Marcus I had to return and listen again once I discovered you and your musical family handle the backing tracks "in house" and so this is really even grander than I realized! Plus I got to see your Rolling Thunder at 03:18, which still blows me away! Thank God someone was filming at the right angle to capture it! ~Terry
that was phenomenal !! beyond the normal people's understanding of playing a musical instrument.... greattt, awesome, fantastic.....and nice arrangementon the overall song
Wow, Marcus! What a great way to be introduced to your Channel! Quite a tour de force. And I must tell you that I played 03:18 no less than six times! oops...7...I noticed it was coming up while I typed this and had to pause and watch your ROLLIN' THUNDER! I had no idea til looking at your profile that you were yet in your teens! Keep up the great work! Blessings from Boca, ~Terry
Lovely . . . Please do this without the backing tracks (which take so much away from the majestic theme) . . . It will be MUCH more moving . . . 5 stars!
Excellent! 5* for an outstanding performance! I remember hearing Ferrante and Teicher playing this piece (though not this arrangement) when I was very young. It is a very moving and dramatic piano melody.
Beautiful music! And look at those strong hands with those LONG fingers. HOW great. I've been playing and recording for many years. Thanx for asking me to be a friend!!!
Dang lol are you sure?? That's weird cuz when you're playing a key with it I swear it looks like if you push too hard it'll crack off! ...I mean.. not that it looks BAD or anything.. please don't take that in the wrong way lol
I've always enjoyed the driving theme of this song, and your arpeggios are fantastic and smooth!! I know it takes many years of practice to achieve your level of playing too!!
WoW!! Absolutely outstanding! Amazing how fast your fingers move. By the way, this piece is one of my favourites and the way you played it is incredible. 5*'s :-)
Yeah... I'd say you're a prodigy. Goodness! 16, and playing THAT well. I pray you'll keep your heart right with the Lord. Surely you'll become one of the greats. Thanks for the amazing post. God Bless!
This (as well as all of your work) is fantastic!! You have so much talent! And I think it's great how you're using your talent to bring glory to God!!
I absolutely ADORE this piece, you have no idea! You did a phenomenal job! May I ask, did you figure it all out by ear, or have different sheet music than I do?
Excellent work! Very well played! It's a different music style. But you did very well! Congratulations! I don't play this style of music, but you did great!!! NICE JOB!
That was terrific!
