NO respectable teacher should have let them perform at this level...EVER. I was a music teacher for 20 years...unless this arrangement is SUPPOSED to sound this AWFUL.
I have often wondered what a herd of panicked, stampeding elephants charging into a screaming locomotive with it's brakes fully applied might sound like. If you listen closely, you can hear the train cars tumbling off the tracks while the injured elephants call out to their long lost relatives.
Reallly funnny. How ever seeing how stupid the movie was and how science has actually failed to attain it's own goals. This rendition should have been in the movie!
Just imagine those parents, sitting there looking at eachother in shame and then having to clap for their musically retarded children. Thanks, mom and dad!
This is absolutely and positively PRICELESS!!!!! Outstanding. It should be used for alarm clocks, fire drill alarms in schools, to announce a break or lunch in shops (instead of a bell). Oh man, when I grow up, I hope I sound like this. (I'm in my 50's).
Reading the comments while listening to this is wonderful. My sides hurt and my eyes are teary. They should play this for the Oscars!!!!! There's a thought... So much for idiots delight and our unconquerable heros!!!! Play on!
Yes, this is The Portsmouth Sinfonia; a group of musicians and non-musicians playing instruments they don't know, on purpose. This was in the early 1970's in England and Brian Eno "played" clarinet. They recorded a couple of LPs for Columbia which have never been released on CD. The LPs are VERY rare.
Having been a listener of Eno's work for decades I believe it's time to revive the Portsmouth Sinfonia. In it's new incarnation celebraties could be invited to play as members and charity concerts and recordings could be generated. Imagine George Clooney on clarinet, Kid Rock on trombone, Lang Lang on viola etc. etc. all for charity.
I had to pause, it's making me laugh so much there's snot coming out of my nose.
