Exit Music (For A Film) von Radiohead; Jazzchor der Universität Köln, Ltg.: Dietrich Thomas, Klavier: Martin Rixen; Arrangement: Dietrich Thomas; Aula der Universität Köln, 30. Juni 2010
I feel like the climax of the song has to be a continuous melody instead of taking huge breaths other wise it takes the powerfulness of it away! Hard song to do justice but it's still worth giving credit.
I was thinking the same thing. i guess the problem of doing an Academic version of a song like this is that... it sounds measured, the agony and despair that Thom Yorke portray at the end of this song is all but measured. But yes, this deserves credit,
@@2visiondigital I’m not claiming it’s an objective mistake on their part, and me not having been part of a choir isn’t the point; I was merely saying i think it’s a shame they decided to neglect an element of the song that makes the original so legendary
I agree, they should've kept at least part of them holding the note, the pause made it less interesting, but it's a good performance nonetheless, for sure
Yes, I have sung in a chorus, and those weird breaths were a very deliberate choice by the director. I'm in the camp that it was a mis-step in an otherwise very fine performance. Takes nothing away from the performers.@@2visiondigital
I’ve just listened to several choral performances of Exit Music For A Film and this is by far the most moving performance that I’ve heard. Great job to all involved. Like many others have confessed, this brought me to tears. So beautiful!
Beautiful amazing fucking performance. All of the choir sections sound amazing, but damn, those sopranos carried that intense ending like a bird soaring steadily through the skies!
OK, as I discover more classical interpretations of RH songs I think the band members will have a significant place in musical history. They leave behind a rich tapestry of compositions, some are open to new arrangements like this. Perhaps they are more complex and original than even devoted fans realize.
Wake From your sleep The drying of Your tears Today We escape We escape Pack And get dressed Before your father hears us Before All hell Breaks loose Breathe Keep breathing Don't loose Your nerve Breathe Keep breathing I can't do this Alone Sing Us a song A song to keep Us warm There's Such a chill Such a chill You can laugh A spineless laugh We hope your Rules and wisdom choke you Now We are one In everlasting peace We hope that you choke That you choke We hope that you choke That you choke We hope That you choke That you choke
Ok so hear me out..can someone produce a modern opera with contemporary songs such as this a simple yet operatic rendition of romeo and Juliet,where romeo is an anarchist and an activist an juliet comes from a polarised conservative environment perhaps a cop father ect. I mean of course this piece was originally written for Romeo and Juliet anyway but can you just hear this to be an absolutely fantastic opera ending middle fingers flying high and all! Much like the old man dragging don Giovanni in hell this echoes hell is here now hell is you people
@MRPC0974 I really like this! We are a community choir in Cambridge, UK, and would like to perform this arrangement! Happy to get in touch in a different way and discuss if this is possible, thank you.
Wake from your sleep The drying of your tears Today, we escape, we escape Pack and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all hell breaks loose Breathe, keep breathing Don't lose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alone Sing us a song A song to keep us warm There's such a chill, such a chill And you can laugh A spineless laugh We hope your rules and wisdom choke you Now we are one in everlasting peace We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke We hope that you choke, that you choke
