Hatikva (La Mantovana, Ballo di Mantova, originally from 17th Century Italy), played on hydraulophone (water-pipe-organ flute), an instrument that's like a woodwind but uses water instead of air ("woodwater instrument"). Set to a very low and gentle water flow.

  • wheres is this?

  • @evilkanival1423 Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, out in front of the building, it runs 24 hours a day.

  • Check out "Carul cu boi" and we'll talk where Hatikva derives from!!

    Anyway , impressive instrument!

  • @debuftea "Carul cu boi" is listed on the Wikipedia page for Hatikva... Romanian folk song Carriage with Oxen. Before that, it originated as an Italian song, by Giuseppino del Biado ca. 1600... Later known in early 17th-century Italy as "Ballo di Mantova." ... used by the Czech composer Bedich Smetana as "Die Moldau" (from the Wikipedia page), and often appears in windup music boxes titled simply "Moldau". One of my favorite songs for playing on hydraulophone...

  • @hydraulist Other similar songs that use a similar pitch changes, i.e. combination of consonance and stepwise pitch changes, in a minor key: "Swan Lake" (main theme) by Tchaikovsky, "A Tragic Story" (words by William Makepeace Thackeray, music by???), and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (composer unknown), and to some extent, "Tarantella Dance" (not quite stepwise but almost).

  • were is that I REALLY WANNA TRY IT IT LOOKS COOLLLL

  • This hydraulophone is the main centerpiece out in front of the Ontario Science Centre, located at 770 Don Mills Road (near the intersection of Don Mills and Eglington), Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

  • How lovely!

  • @hydraulist The musical setting of "A Tragic Story" (words by William Makepeace Thackeray) is by Benjamin Britten.

  • Awesome

  • @muttiwilson

    Israel's national anthem. You were a bit off on the guess.
