Gioachino Rossini: William Tell Overture (SAMOHI in Vienna) 

08:27 🐴🐴

A friendly reminder to all who criticized and found errors in this performance, this is a HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA. This was a fantastic performance and those young musicians should be proud of it. As for the conductor, great job!!!!!

Those young people should be very proud of themselves. They were great.

I find it hard to believe this is high school. cause there THAT good. eait, what was I thinking? THERE AMAZING! LOVED IT

@5:54 - ...when you realize you first heard this in WB cartoons!

It's a rainy Friday, 13th August 2021 in Curitiba, Brasil. I am Just an old but proud retired teacher, drinking Bockbier, cooking beans, waiting my Sauerkraut get ready and hearing this Rossini's piece for the thousandth time and loving the way this Young orchestra does It. People, I really love you, because you are here looking for beauty. You played and heared classical music looking for beauty, but beauty even was inside you. I ask to God protection and happyness for you who love make music. Time is running, baby, and you doesn't know tomorrow, so love yourself, love your life and be thanksgiver for life, because life is a gift and I am happy because you exist, Thanks, Lord, for people so Nice making nice music.

Section 1: Prelude/ Dawn 0:00-2:51 Section 2: Storm 2:51-5:53 Section 3: Ranz des vaches/Call To The Cows 5:53-8:26 Section 4: March of the Swiss Soldiers/Finale 8:26-11:45

This is great music. I am so happy to see these young people so talented and enjoying playing this kind of music. God bless them.

I am studying this piece for IGCSE Music this year. It is a hard piece to learn let alone play. That was an amazing performance. I was so surprised at the fact that they were high schoolers! They sounded like a professional orchestra. Wow! I bet everyone practices 40 hours a day to get this piece. Congrats to the solo instruments in their respective movements. The whole orchestra deserve way more applause and cheers than they did in this video. This was an utterly amazing performance, a big well done.

Classic music is life, it pushes us forward and we do have our ups and downs but really we are looking for the best. Love form Russian!!!!

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I GOT CHILLS IN MY SPINE FROM BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DO SUCH AN AMAZING JOB (PLEASE FORGIVE THE PROUD MOMS & DADS TAKING A FEW PHOTOS) I THINK THEY NAILED IT. IT TOOK ME BACK, WE DID WAGNER'S TANNHAUSER OVERTURE AT PLEASANT HILL HIGH, Ca. (closed) 68/69 YEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK! (I USE CAPS FOR MY VISION, SORRY)

When you hear it from the very start you appreciate it even more.

This is the sheer joy and cumulative effect that music can have on education and living a life of quality. Community, social cooperation, and having fun...unfortunately public education has been the whipping boy for politicians and a music curriculum just one of the casualities!

This was perfection.

Excellent Standard for a High School orchestra. Clearly plenty of talent

I would never have guessed that this performance was anything but professionally done!!!! Well done!!!!!!!!

11:43 - conductor whispers "yes!"; i.e. We just nailed that performance.

I love that cello section solo in beginning! Bravo!

never have i seen such focus and concentration on the face of a percussionist handling a triangle!

CANNOT DO IT PERFECT THE FIRST TIME, THIS IS AN ORCHESTRA IN PROGRESS. Young people, kuddos!

Watched this video years ago, then went to Dvorak’s 9th symphony at the New York Phil earlier today. I knew I recognized the English horn playing the 2nd movement... and after a bit of thought, I knew where I saw him. Here he is! Ryan Roberts is now an oboist at the New York Philharmonic.

The guy at the end whispering “yess” 😂 I would too say yes if I could hear this live haha. This piece is so powerful! Love it.

Wherever Rossini is, he will be proud of these guys. Bravo!

This is wonderful playing by the Santa Monica High School Orchestra! Tremendous and well done! I am British and I tend to doubt that this standard could be attained by a UK high school orchestra; I may be quite wrong, but that is my feeling. William Tell is probably the best of all Rossini overtures; an overture with not only 1-2 good tunes but 3-4 of them! I think Rossini would be knocked out if he heard this.

Since this piece is made up of 4 sections, here are their selective playing times this video, beginning to end (listed in this order): 0:00 - 2:49 Sunrise Over The Alps/Prelude - Dawn 2:50 - 5:54 The Storm (climax 3:56) 5:55 - 8:26 Shepherds on the Mountainside/Call to the Cows 8:27 - 11:43 The Cavalry Charge/March of the Swiss Soldiers For those of you who like to hear each part individually :))

This IS THE single Most expressive, "descriptive" piece in All of classical music literature. As in any standard symphony form, there are 4 "movements" (sub pieces). In this case, they are: Dawn, Storm, Calm (after the storm), and Ride. As you listen, you can "See" the sun rise. ... But, soon, Dark storm clouds start gathering. First, you only hear individual raindrops. Suddenly ! ... Hurricaine force winds. Horrendous, torrential downpour. A terrific flood of rushing waters. As trees are torn out by their roots, and giant boulders are hurled down the mountain side. ... Then, when it's all over, calm is restored by nature. As little woodland creatures peek and venture out from their protective burrows. ... Finally the heroic horse chase. Sadly, the William Tell opera is almost never staged. Some musical historians mis-label the 4th movement as "March of the Swiss guards". Idiots! Just the pace alone, is a clue. It's far too fast for "marching". It's obviously the heroic William Tell fleeing on horseback. To escape capture by von Gessler's guards. William Tell, hero of Swiss Independance. No wonder depression era, independant radio-station owner George W. Trendle selected this piece -- to be immortalized as the theme song of his brain-child program. Which became THE MOST popular on radio, then later on ABC TV. The 4th movement provides the perfect tone-poem description of America's greatest and most influential role model. A character NOT intended to be an UN-Real "super hero". But, rather, to exhibit traits that ARE REAL. Which express plain old American and Christian values. A character which ANY ordinary person could emulate and immitate. And hundreds of thousands of American children DID ! Then, they went off to SAVE the Whole World, by fighting WW-2. Tom Brokaw calls them "America's Greatest Generation" in his books. "With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto ... the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order, in the early west. Return with us, now ... to those thrilling days of yester-year. As The Lone Ranger rides Again !"

A firey Horse with the speed of light. A cloud of dust, and a mighty Hi Yo Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again.

Having been born in 1938 I was just the right age to listen to The Lone Ranger radio program EVERY Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. Radio, back then was a rich experience.

strong confident playing by English horn

God bless all you young, talented people for sharing your musical skills and appreciation of GOOD music! This brought tears to my eyes, not because of the memories it brought forth but because I see there is still hope for the preservation of fine music and musical presentation!

Amazine...can't believe those are OUR students and performing in Vienna!! Bravo :)

When I was in Junior High school, my orchestra teacher told us, if we ever called the William Tell Overture “the theme of the Lone Ranger” he would flunk us

8:53/9:00 playing triangle is best job

This performance is well beyond any high school performance I've ever heard before - absolutely incredible!

THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL?! That's amazing, such great talent.

8:35 one girl realized the timpani did not enter it right😅😉🤔

If this is a high school orchestra, I am impressed.

what is the definition of an intelectual ? someone who hears the william tell overture WITHOUT thinking of The Lone Ranger.

5:54 my favorite morning song

Jumped straight out of my easy chair and proceed to applaud as loud as I could.......Bravo !

you can't teach that - it's a gift from God

My first time hearing the full version. The best of Rossini’s overtures in my opinion (but I have not heard them all yet)

5:59 wakey wakey eggs and bakey

5 solo celli. Wow. Favourite!

MAGNIFICENT !!!!! STANDING OVATION !!!!! AND THESE ARE JUST KIDS !!!!!! BRAVO !!!!!!

One of the best renditions I have heard.

Fantastic performance. And kudos to the videographer and editor. Finally I get to see what I have never seen in any other orchestra video: the ENTIRE ORCHESTRA performing, especially during the most dramatic portions of the piece. It is so enjoyable to see (for more than an obligatory 1 second shot) what is actually making the music we are hearing. It is a thing of beauty, not just for the ears, but for the eyes as well when we get to see the poetic beauty in the motion of the orchestra--which we can only observe when we get to see the ENTIRE orchestra. This is by far the best videography of an orchestra I have see so far, and I have seen many. Thank you!

Considering when the composer lived (29 February 1792 - 13 November 1868) It has and will stand the test of time. I O Silver...Away!!! The Lone Ranger Rides Again!

Magnífica interpretación de la célebre Obertura de Guillermo Tell del compositor italiano Gioachino Rossini. BRAVO !!!. Saludos desde España.

OMG this was a high school orchestra??? Wow, they were amazing!!! 🙂🙂🙂

Music starts.... Still tippin on 4 4's, wrapped in 4 vogues...

For those of us of a certain age, it is extremely difficult to remove The Lone Ranger from this piece. Once you do, however, it becomes a brilliant piece of music.

Dawn, Storm, Ranz des vaches, March of the Swiss Soldiers. I like them all. I'd like less cymbals on the Finale.

Que lindo, que emocionante, que sensacional!

I was today years old when I found out The Lone Ranger didn’t originate this song…

This is disgusting and it seems to be a new trend on RU-vid.. Music - any kind of music should never be interrupted by a commercial. This is wrong and completely taboo. If this is the way RU-vid is trending, then I am going to another venue. What a disgusting disgrace.

Our school band sucks

played 8:28 at 1.25 speed. Didn't regret at all.

i played this piece before in school orchestra. Amazing performance from them!

It takes a lot to make me tear up. You gize were successful!! Beautiful

Such a perfect rendition of this ouverture

You know that how if your a prodigy you are highly respected, but is just another kid or adult when he/she grows up? Why is respect so much like that. Age matters? Should we not be respected for at least being a prodigy in the past?

8:30 if you want the part you recognize

First heard this on a Bug's Bunny cartoon. Who says cartoons aren't educational? These younguns done a good job with it.

9:35 till 9:56 I so wish this part could've somehow lasted longer The best there is 😍😍😍

Wow, they are pretty amazing. And to find out it's a high school orchestra?? We're playing this in my community orchestra, and it's a very difficult piece to play. Lots of fast runs with accidentals all over the place. Kudos to this high school. Very impressive!

saturday morning cartoon nostalgia overload loved the performance I wouldn't have thought this was only a high school orchestra

They were great, especially for high school students. Just wondering why the conductor didn't have the orchestra stand and take a bow.

man when you have the volume all the way up on your mobile speaker and you think it’s a slow soft piece, 8:28 can be scary lmao

I’m just here for homework but, I kinda like the music

Hi Yo Silver! Away!!

To think, I learned my appreciation of Classical music from Bugs Bunny!!!

Hi yo Silver, away!!

Such delicacy and contrasting verse. Great performance from them all. Stunning student work-sooo top notch professional a,ready!:-)

In the age of digital, leaving the shutter sound effect on your camera during a concert should be punishable by torture.

*it's can be better the final.*

A fiery horse with a speed of light. A cloud of dust, and a mighty Hi Yo Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again.

What a group of young and talented musicians , well done!

My high school had this as school bell

The drummer guy at the last part, moving his upper body like a robot :D.

8:27- Is what you are here for.

Outstanding performance. Bravíssimo!!!!

This magic creation in real time and they are not magicians they are musicians

Many thanks for all.

I am elated that so many young people are interested in classical music! An excellent performance too. If there were any flaws, I didn't hear them. Bravo!

8:26 *M A X I M U M T R A I N C A R D O R I F T O*

0:04 was waiting for Dr. Dre

What's the name of the song that wrestler Rick Flair uses for his introduction?

8:26-12:03 Parabéns! Excelente execução musical ! E a glória seja dada ao Criador da Música: YHWH.

As a looney tunes fan, my heart melt when i heard this

SAMO pride

( A Palavra de Deus para vocês ) O CAMINHO PARA O CÉU DEUS DIZ QUE VOCÊ NÃO CONSEGUE CHEGAR SOZINHO "Porque todos pecaram e destituídos estão da glória de Deus;" ( Romanos, 3:23 ) DEUS DIZ QUE VOCÊ NÃO PODE CONSTRUIR SEU PRÓPRIO CAMINHO "Porque pela graça sois salvos, por meio da fé, e isto não vem de vós, é dom de Deus; não vem das obras, para que ninguém se glorie." ( Efésios, 2:8-9 ) DEUS DIZ QUE O CAMINHO TERMINA EM MORTE "Há um caminho que ao homem parece direito, mas o fim dele conduz à morte." ( Provérbios, 16:25 ) DEUS DIZ QUE PRECISAMOS FAZER MEIA VOLTA "Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos, para que sejam apagados os vossos pecados, de sorte que venham os tempos de refrigério, da presença do Senhor," ( Atos, 3:19 ) DEUS DIZ QUE SÓ EXISTE UM CAMINHO "Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Eu sou o caminho, e a verdade, e a vida; ninguém vem ao Pai, senão por mim." ( João, 14:6 ) DEUS DIZ QUE VOCÊ PRECISA ENTREGAR A DIREÇÃO DE SUA VIDA A JESUS "Mas, a todos quantos o receberam, aos que crêem no seu nome, deu-lhes o poder de se tornarem filhos de Deus;" ( João, 1:12 ) Em que caminho você está? No caminho largo que leva à perdição ou no caminho estreito, que leva à vida eterna? Se você se aproximar de Jesus, o caminho para o céu, você certamente chegará lá. Confesse seus pecados a Jesus e confie a ELE a sua vida, pois então Ele o conduzirá as maiores Maravilhas - o Melhor Destino - o Céu. "Vinde a mim, todos os que estai cansados e oprimidos, e eu vos aliviarei." ( Mateus, 11:28 ) "Porque, se com a tua boca confessares a Jesus como Senhor, e em teu coração creres que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, será salvo; pois é com o coração que se crê para a justiça, e com a boca se faz confissão para a salvação. Porque: Todo aquele que invocar o nome do Senhor será salvo." ( Romanos, 10:9-10,13 )

I post late, I know. I'm discovering. There are a few wrong notes, especially in the intro. Some small mistimings... also portions that are a bit too loud or uneven, but that can be a choice of the director. The dialogue between transverse flute and oboe is excellent, although one the flute breathing needs a bit of work, and the oboe takes on a bit too much importance. But at other times I don't hear the difference from a philharmonic orchestra. It's not excellent, it wouldn't even be very good for a professional orchestra, but relative to the age of the musicians and the orchestra, it's much more than respectable. And it's beautiful anyway. I'm not a specialist, it's only having listened to this piece hundreds of times that allows me to find certain anomalies. But I congratulate (a little late to encourage, this thing is 6 years old) the orchestra and the musicians!

I would be loudly applauding, that was brilliant!

sólo un genio puede crear tan magnífica obra musical.

Glad to see we still have an orchestra. Nice job, Vikings. - Class of 1990.

8:27 real show begins
