Story behind the song:
The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra) and its director, Kayson Brown, approached us with this idea. We loved it. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish -- inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of "Beethoven's 5 Secrets," combining OneRepublic's tune "Secrets" with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (not including the "bridge" the orchestra plays in the middle). Try to guess where they are and where they come from!

What are Beethoven's secrets? He had many. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his "weakness." He was deaf during most of his life. Imagine that...one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. And yet, he wrote his life's greatest works after becoming deaf. He believed that art itself had "secrets" that had to be "forced into" in order to obtain art's highest level. There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the "secrets" of art -- people all over the world enjoy them every day. He was a true master of music, blessed by God. This piece and video are dedicated to him.

Perform "Beethoven's 5 Secrets" and the entire Beethoven Symphony No. 5 with Steven Sharp Nelson at Lyceum Music Festival this year! Work up-close and personal with Steven and other amazing professional musicians like the concertmaster of the London Symphony and Rotterdam Orchestra. Advanced players ages 13-21 are invited to audition. Visit http://www.LyceumMusicFestival.com or http://american-heritage.org/music/or... for details

I think my Goose bumps, goose bumps have goose bumps

[monkey03599]

The most beautiful thing have ever heard

[Frederik Amstrup]

i gonna cry



[Yosia Octafreira]

Awesomely Awesome :)

[1999khoa]

most of my friend and I dont really show much passion when we play in front of others, so I pretty much understand it. It is just how people like :)

[1999khoa]

some people are just different :)

[Avihay196]

Of course they can, But you really enjoy life when you take what's inside your soul and show it to the world. The guy on the cello is smiling, He's not smiling inside, Because his accepting and showing his love. It's not good to keep any kind of emotion inside. Not anger, Not joy, Not love. Hell, I'm spose to preform in a place like that for a graduation show and im going to be scared, But hell. I'm going to smile.

[1999khoa]

and, yes I complete understand you. But they can smile inside themselves.

[1999khoa]

sometime, you dont have to express outside. Most of the times, you feel it inside. All of the time, you concentrate on what you play, and it is your choice to express it outside or keep it inside. They always say don't judge people from their looks mate.

[Made in Heaven]

As for other things written by you, I agree with most of them. It's great that each person has his or her own perception of music and music awakens so different thoughts and ideas in minds open to it.

[Made in Heaven]

I might have understood you wrong.But I remembered myself when I was a young girl playing at the music school for some audiences.I was so much worried and rather thought about how the audience would receive me than about the music itself.Lightness and easiness come through ages of practice. It is more easy to get delight of what you are doing on your own than when camera shots you or somebody's looking at you.May be the very thought of how they would look like in this video made them so serious

[Avihay196]

It has completely nothing to do with that. You can be focus on the playing and Project your love to the music. It's a rather natural once you practice a lot. Making music isn't a show. Their not spose to smile for me or for you, I'm saying that they should smile for themself. The music project their souls. That's what music is about. That's what art is about. To give a material form to your inner self and let be heard or seen. I'm happy they played this. I liked it. Don't make me wrong.
