@SB87JB Hans Zimmer doesn't write classical music. He writes soundtrack music, orchestral music, whatever you want to call it, but it's not classical. I feel that classical denotes music from the Baroque period to mid 20th century.
you're right, hans zimmer is not a strictly speaking 'classical' composer. he is a soundtrack composer.
but classical music is still going. it didn't 'end' in the mid 20th century. ever heard of the new era of orchestral/classical music called '21st century/modern'?? nigel westlake? thomas ades? phillip houghton? there is a long long list of modern 21st century composers.
if you want to get specific, the actual classical PERIOD was from about 1750-1830.
This isn't about the haulocost or vietnam war it about the end of the world the last section is called the dance of death when the devil comes to earth and destroys everything
@FrostySauceVids Well the story within the piece is as you say. But its inspiration was drawn from the fact that the Vietnam war was going on, it was a dark time for a lot of people and Crumb wanted to express that.
This is horrible... not as in composition wise, in that way it's ingenious, I mean the images this gives me are LITERALLY HORRIBLE. It makes me want to throw up. It makes me think of radiation sickness and the holocaust, just horrible things... Especially the holocaust, and what they'd do to the victims, skin lamps, stick thin people, gas chambers... Oh Lord
@xarealpersonx I'm not sure that's entirely fair. While yes, it's not pleasant to listen to, Crumb has done a lot of revolutionary things in terms of the way string instruments can be played, for instance having a violin played near the nut instead of the near the bridge. This of course creates a lot of tension and crazy frequencies that ordinarily wouldn't be produced. The music to my ears is terrible for casual listening, but for certain film scores exc. it can be highly effective.
@chikibabi1621 i haven't taken musicianship, still i am happy to be able to enjoy and appreciate music without being trained for that. like i stated in both my comments, i recognise this piece as art and i enjoy it with all it's vividness and challenge for people's sense perceptions but not at all the way i enjoy music. despite all the innovating techniques that've been used for its creation, its entirety still doesn't bring me the feelings music does. but it brings me feelings that music can't
i'm not saying this doesn't deserve appreciation, quite the opposite - it's very creative and skilfully performed. but i don't think i'd put it in the "music" section. i don't know what it is, but to me it's definitely not music
@TheJmills39 i realise that a composition of sounds like this is by definition considered music and i'm not stigmatizing it from being a creative piece of art. it's just that my own feeling for music is that there has to be either melody or rhythm or both and i expect it to be aesthetically pleasing. this is more like a play made of sounds which brings different pictures or even plots to your mind but i don't think it possesses... well... musicalness. i hope you know what i mean :D
@ellenaor I'm glad you've actually thought about why you have that opinion (most people just say "it hurts my ears so it's not music"). I guess if you describe "music" that way, then it'd be better to call this "aural art" or something along those lines rather than music.
This piece made much more sense to me when the inspiration behind it was explained to me. It's very vivid. Still, like you said there's not much in terms of typical melody.
@rainbowbacon4545 It really should't even be that contrived. It is music because it sound and silence organized in order to bring about emotion. Everyone has been brainwashed to belive that Bach's method is the "correct" way. Music such as this is just as organized as the common practice and shouldn't have to put up with biases before being analyzed for its artistic merit.
@baconmallinator thats... deep.. and yes it is music, its genius music, but it scared me... for one who believes in ghosts and watches horror movies in her basement, i dont see why im freaked out though ... hmmm.... xD
@ellenaor I agree with TheJmills39. At least you were able to defend your reasoning, although I personally still consider this music. Music is a combination of instrumentals (It can be anything that produces sound) in order to produce a creation of sound that abstractly expresses emotions. True that Crumb does not follow the traditional "formula" of music, but he is a 20th century composer so its difficult for some people to accept his music because it's still considered a new idea.
@ellenaor I can agree with that. It is music, it's just not entertaining the way it is expected to be. It is art, though, because it pushes boundaries.
@Happyvampirebat It isn't meant to push boundaries in anyway. Crumb wrote what he was trying to express and that is all. It is music because he wrote music. This was written way after the modernist movement so the boundaries you can speak of had already been broken long before this was written. (And if you are speaking of atonal music specifically, bach had atonal pieces, it isn't anything new)
we had 2 listen 2 this song in music (the first 1: 24) because we were looking at how music is inspired by art. We listened 2 this while looking at 'the scream' picture.
@secretsquirrely i think it is because the george crumb version of departure or night of the electric insects appeared on the soundtrack for the exorcist and it sounds a lot dirtier than this
We listened to the first part of this in my composition class today. It definitely freaked me out. It got to the point where I wanted to leave the room haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Anyone who listens to this and is anything but bored by it really needs to turn in their voter registration card. It would have have to improve a 1000 times over to even qualify for "Pathetic". Discomfort? Fear? Maybe for sheep. Or for anyone playing this in my presence. It's not even music. Just some retards pretending they know how to play instruments. Hell rap is closer to being music than this is.
it is supposed to bring about an image of rotting corpses with flies and maggots all around them. It was made during the Russian civil war uknow soviets and communism
Thanks for uploading this. I'd heard Kronos were performing it somewhere. It's uncompromising and not easy to listen too. But then again I'm old!. Reminds me of the first time I heard Hendrix star spangled banner, or some of Charlie Parkers music, and Magic of Juju by Archie Shepp. It's all about what the composer wants to express, and not knowing what was in Crumb's mind it must have been something pretty violent and devastating. A war maybe?. Pendericki did this too.
My friend sent me a link to this song. My headphones were on. Initially I felt ear rape, but then I realized that this is probably the best song ever.
I remember hearing this in a classroom in 7th grade. This was one of my favorite pieces of music I heard. It reminds me of something you would hear like an old documentary or on NPR.
@t3hwasabi You might not be able to regard it as music you enjoy, but it is music regardless. Just as you might not be able to regard a tomato as a fruit, but it is a fruit regardless.
@t3hwasabi - that's the problem with education in this country. you can accept abstract poetry, abstract mathematics, abstract imagery, but once you hear music that doesn't fit neatly into 3 or 4 beat measures and 7 note scales with conventional harmonies... well that's just not music! very sad...
we had to listen to this imn music class tody..with the volume blasting! it was halarious we were all laughing like crazy...we laughed 4 about 5 minutes straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its was so freakin halarious!!!!!!!!!!
@thetopface dude if ur in a room with 30 other random crazy people n a class you hate..u'd think this is funny too..and dont judge my grammar!!!!!! just cuz i spelled somthin wrong dosent mean you have to call me out on it....and u need to get a life if u think this is enjoyable music to listen to and like. not trying to be mean..but really u have no sense of humor....so just stick it in ur juicebox and suck it.
@SlypKnoTt4evr No, I wouldn't find it funny, I would find it breathtaking. And I will judge your lack of grammar. You're in the real world now and that's how things work here. I need to get a life? ...Good one. Not trying to be mean? George Crumb spent a long time composing this piece and included very personal aspects of himself within it. The fact that you would laugh at that not only says that you're mean, but also incredibly ignorant. Now hurry up and say something stupid again.
@thetopface You know what i find humorous, is that you would argue about someones opinion on a song. I respect that he took a long time to make this and how it is unique, im just saying its not what i like and at the time i found it very humorous. My grammar?...this is youtube I didnt think I had to write perfectly everytime I wrote somthing, and you're the one being mean by judging my opinions.
@OriginalCoreaEmo slipknot isnt bad..wtf are u tlkin about? have you ever heard circle? go listen to it i think you'll be suprised at how unbad it is....
0_0 Wow It feels like some manner of a horrific blood soaked nightmare brought to life. I will admit it, this truly scares me and I can't rationally figure out why. I can watch graphic depictions of horror, or listen to eerie music designed to freak people out (like and out of tune music box with some creepy child singing over it) but this is different. I almost feel ill listening to this, like I have been buried alive and maggots are crawling through me. I just can't hear this again.
I listened to this in one of my Theatre Studies Lessons, and we had the lights off, we lay on the floor and had to let a story unfold in our heads.. mine was seriously twisted. It was all about spiders and a nightmare I used to have when I was little. I started crying!! Brilliant but distrubing compositon.
In my humblest opinion as a composer, music isn't supposed to convey "beauty". It is supposed to convey expression, be it emotional/scenic evocation or self-sustaining abstract expression.
Beauty has simply been a preferred subject for much of Western European musical history. But music can address anything in existence, and should.
Anybody who doesn't think that this piece conveys discomfort enough, I suggest listening to it so loud that you can feel it in a dimly lit room with your eyes closed. You will probably cry or vomit or both.
when i first listened to this on my radio i was falling asleep to classical music and around 11:30 at night this song came on and it freaked me out but i love it
I FOUND IT!!! this is the song i heard in music class that i was looking for. it was on REALY loud but the sterio was off so when we turned it on it scared some people and my manly guy friend screamed like a girl
Is this Creative? Yes. Does it work? Not to a capable effect.
There are a million better ways to convey the emotions that this composer fumbled about trying to re-envision new timbres with. True, composers have better tools these days, but that is a poor excuse for well crafted shit.

@HungryforJesus33 It's at least good mood music. It's better than the Anton Webern crap

In my humblest opinion as a composer, music isn't supposed to convey "beauty". It is supposed to convey expression, be it emotional/scenic evocation or self-sustaining abstract expression.
Beauty has simply been a preferred subject for much of Western European musical history. But music can address anything in existence, and should.

Very true. I think we are, or at least should be over the late 18th century aesthetic of art music by now.

@bluephihitman Very well said. Music is like life, everything tells a story, but it's not always pretty.

Anybody who doesn't think that this piece conveys discomfort enough, I suggest listening to it so loud that you can feel it in a dimly lit room with your eyes closed. You will probably cry or vomit or both.

That would probably creep me out to the fullest extent.

My music teacher did that today, it was REALLY unsettling. But also awesome.

I've listened in a quiet dark room....toward the end of the piece it hit me hard and I cried my eyes out, for real. It is a very moving work

ahhaha composers intend on making music sound bad? Im intrigued- gonna go research that rite now
i find this music almost erotic- i listen to it full blast in the dark- extremely nerve strumming

Is this Creative? Yes. Does it work? Not to a capable effect.
There are a million better ways to convey the emotions that this composer fumbled about trying to re-envision new timbres with. True, composers have better tools these days, but that is a poor excuse for well crafted shit.
