Stockhausen GRUPPEN: Tuning

This clip shows the atmosphere at an early rehearsal for Stockhausen's GRUPPEN. The oboist takes the A from orchestra 2 (center), then walks to orchestra 1 (left), then orchestra 3 (right). Finally, he gives the A to orchestra 2 once he returns there. From Lucerne Festival Academy, 2007.

One of my favorite things about going to the symphony is hearing them tune up. Someone should write something where an orchestra tuens their instruments for several hours.

I have always found the tuning of an orchestra, before playing no matter what piece, to be enthralling.

I used to be late for class just so I could walk past the orchestra room to hear them tune, maybe I was in the wrong class.

I love the sound of orchestra tuning. Does anybody have a PS3? If so, that's the start up sound for it. It's very cool.

Wow. So beautiful, the act of tuning an orchestra. When I tune my orchestra, I get shivers. So beautiful!!! :)

The first time I had ever tuned with a full orchestra I got chills. It's simple yet so beautiful.

I love the tuning, the coming together as one....
