The Great Escape Theme (1963 WWII film)

[Synthesiaz]

tutorial!

[theledgebox360]

Where can I get the exact same notes free?

[robertTingley]

thats cool i wish id learned to play an instrument

[deiu9999]

oh, i watched this movie and the 3 hours past like 3 minutes, is that beautifull but sadly almost all of the actors died and those who are still alive have above 80 years, also Steve McQueen as Captain Hilts died in 1980

[tamalas77]

my favorite film the great escape XD XD XD LOL...

[Kaitlin3204k]

And in the real thing, the 2nd verse doesn't go lower in the bass part. But it still sounds nice

[Kaitlin3204k]

At the start, if you were to put the notes into numbers, the person goes 11 1 1 3 2. Now in the real thing it does that twice but instead it is like 22 2 2 4 3, then trails onto the tuba in the back ground.

[Jayshrewla]

marching down the parade square everything normal then randomly the band of bugles stared playing this

[chrisjge]

Just Mega..!

[TheOwnage247]

548 people escaped

[slitznw9]

[x1defx]

10/10

[TheRedbaron1916]

this song surely kiss-ass.

[wikigeek]

Anyone know where I can find sheet music for this free?

[bennio1221]

This sir, is excellent, bravo!

[mrmadushanperera]

You get 10 out of 10 for this boy... Nice Job.. Excellent.

[DOCTORWHO374]

i love this theme lol 

[Procrasticus]

This has such a classic sound. Excellent job.

[BINGFRYSRDUN]

30 days in solitary, und then another 30 days all privileges revoked, ja!? Seargent Schultz, take him away! Again, you do wonders on the piano. I'm starting to think that you don't have sheet music for this. If you learned this by ear, you are god!

[pedekiller]

23 people spent their time in the cooler

[nick21sammy]

@pedekiller for 1 month!!

[eringryffin]

Very very nice job indeed!! I wish! Thumbs up indeed! :D

[BINGFRYSRDUN]

Very nice job! If you read this off of sheet music, can I have the link? Also, for those poeple who dislike it, a week in the coooler to think about their decision!

[MovieMad007]

cooler to the 23 dislikes!!! ja ja!! or u vill be shot!

[crick6060]

where did you get this piece of music from because i need it for my GCSE's i cant find it anywhere on the web could you send me photo copy of yours and i will pay you or send me the link

[si421]

@crick6060 It's in the video description. You doing your GCSE's this year? I've also taken music, but I'm doing IGCSE's. They're slightly harder and international qualifications. Best of luck! (:

[JamesTJoplin]

Dude that is so cool that you can do it on a piano

[Tetzotzomok]

Sell me your song survey

[jayive34]

22 people are going to the cooler

[ReallyCreamy]

Amazing Film, Amazing Song... Amazing

[relmmih6]

@blackice9212 still shouldnt matter lol

[relmmih6]

why do you wear your watch on your right wrist?its not the norm lol

[LiamsHatClub]

@relmmih6 a lot of people wear their watch on their right wrist... perhaps it is you...

[relmmih6]

@LiamsHatClub its more common to be worn on the left.so its not me lol

[Fogglebeast13]

Brilliant! It took me a while to find this though - Stupid "Boys like girls" made a song called "The great escape", and that popps up more than this classic tune. Rediculous.

[Number1London]

nice

[TheGlover4eva]

[jalen77232]

[MUS1CAL3]

Excellent piece! Where can I get the music for that too? I have a WWII Concert coming up that I am playing in and this would be an awesome piece to play!!! Cheers!!!

[Maryrichard]

@MUS1CAL3: You can download the sheet music to The Great Escape for free from my website - I can't put the link in this message as Youtube doesn't allow it but click on my username and you'll see an upload called '100 theme tune quiz'; my site's written alongside there!

[legodude9163]

i think u are amazing to be able to play that with out sheet music, i can`t even play it yet (i`ve been trying for months!). please will you make a tutorial on this or put up a link for the music sheet. once again though, well done!

[Mrsanandreas1234]

i really love those flatback piano where u can see inside

[jooters1]

Very well played because I just recently saw the movie for the first time and really enjoyed it. I hear you play the main theme and I think WOW!!!

[grizelda1986]

*Applause* :D

[leonardbullhock]

I actually liked that. Probably one of the best films ever made.

[1234matts1234]

I Really Need That Sheet Music!! Plz Tell Where Is It From?!?

[AceofWWII]

PLEASE GET SHEET MUSIC!!!!!!

[bubblesSH10]

you did an amazing job! is there anyway you could tell me where you got the sheet music for this, please.

I've been looking all over for the sheet music but no luck, i even looked into buying it but all i could find was brass arangement. if you could tell me you'd be a lifesaver.

[galactonerd]

Does this remind anyone else of the baby escape scene in the Simpsons episode "A Streetcar Named Marge?"

[musicallyspeakings88]

You totally captured the whole mood of this music!

[bigwillyforu]

People ruin this brilliant song by putting up the shit that is boys like girls "the great escape"

[mgil1212]

[Chandersson25]

[mickypoo4622]

Oh yes! I'd dearly love to have the music for this piece but I can't find it anywhere. I'll just have to watch your fingers and work it out. Thanks for the amusing rendition. It's such a singalong piece and everyone who has seen the film knows and loves it. Much appreciated.

[ambulansekim]

Amazing! Really good! :D 5 stars! :D

[JeffreyP506]

1963? Wow I can remember as a small child seeing that in the theater. I couldn't have been more than 3 and a half at the time!

[LogjamminJames]

I love this song, but WOW. The zip-off sweatpants/sweatshirt-around-t­he-waist combo made me laugh so damn hard.

[basiliogj]

is a parody of this film...

[Rapidpanda1st]

You are aware that Chicken Run (2000) is a direct parody of The Great Escape (1963) right?

~Frosty.

[NoodleKaBoom]

yes.. o.o.. i was just pointing out it was from chicken run..

[edko426]

Hi GREAT! Nice job playing and I love this movie and music.

[strax]

Superb!

Rule Britannia!

x52

[07lnel]

it sounds a bit like an old western tune that you would hear in a saloon

[zZMangoZz]

One of the greatest melodys of all time. And from one of my favourite-movies too.

[minifigure123456789]

Ya! I love this theme tune. I have it stuck in my head!

[TheArabDude]

Made my day.

[MultiCmiller]

I know those guys don't understand what they are saying.

[catbbzpgl]

Your fantasic!!!ignore the othr childish comments on ur page x

[mrdoom666]

im going to do a better review

was good playd 3/5

nameing the vid

The Great Escape Theme (1963 WWII film) need to add Piano at the end that is why it is missleading

over all 2/5

keep up the good work :|

ok now are you happy NightHawkmwh you sad sad man who has no time but to have a pissyshit over a comment?

[gyuunuu]

this is awesome!

please do a tutorial

(:

[saintsfan454]

hey, where did u get the sheet music?

[NightHawkmwh]

misleading? Its the bloody Great Escape theme. There is no misleading title for the tune. Plus it has 1963 WWII film next to it? jesus.

[malvadomono]

Maybe you're looking for the BOYS LIKE GIRLS song?

If I'm right, try searching "the great escape for gay poppers" if no, I don't know what are you looking for

[NightHawkmwh]

Mr Doom, 1. Im not religious, so i dont refer to Jesus as some son of some guy, its a sign of irritation from me

2. why do you want to know who i am? and you should care about what im saying, as im pointing out that the title of this video is NOT misleading, and your being inobservant.

3. I have no bloody idea what your saying? Unless your refering to jesus, in which case you used bad english, and split the same topic with a different, and changed the meaning of what you said.

[NightHawkmwh]

Sigh, Are you a 3rd grader or something? jeese. We could just keep replying and clog up ur inbox! Your handling this like an immature swine. Maybe you should learn to OBSERVE what the title says. Not read it. You can read something and forget what it was 5 minutes later. Observe somethings meaning and frankly, this would never have happened. Be more mature the next time.

[malvadomono]

I was right, you were looking for "the great escape for gay poppers" XDDDDDDD

[JeffZHigs1]

What are you talking about. Its the theme from the 1963 WW2 film, the great escape

[russiangooglespy]

thank god for youtube. no other video site had the tune! =D

[ujdy]

WOW :) :) :D
