I love how the entire team was suggesting the obviously correct Schubert and he still went with the German composer Beethoven whose style is so entirely different.
OMG IM SO HAPPY I HEARD HIM SAY PALINDROME AND I SAID OUT LOUD: DILIGES DOMINUM BY BYRD AND IT CAME UP! SORRY IM 14 AND I NEVER GET ANYTHING RIGHT ON THIS PROGRAMME SO I GOT A LITTLE OVER EXCITED! Thanks for posting!
Congrats on getting it right! I thought Tallis or Byrd but wasn’t sure. Really happy to see someone around my age who is enthusiastic about baroque/renaissance music as it is super awesome!
Nooticus Thanks! I used to hate that sort of era- usually found that sort of piece boring to sing, but now I can really appreciate composers like Tallis and Byrd, and the amazing rich textures both provide. I think it all began after I was lucky enough to sing in Spem in Alium by Tallis- without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music, and even more amazing once you realise its about half a millennium old! In all honesty though it’s great to know I’m not alone in this belief, it’s really annoying how Renaissance music is always overlooked, like in my music class when we were asked what are the FOUR main eras for classical music, I got really angry as there was modern but not renaissance!! 😂
same, couldn't recognize the name at first bc of the British accent tho lol. Big fan of his performance of Spanish Rhapsody and the fanfare toccata he composed
0:37 Thank goodness they actually played Stockhausen! (It was Kontakte btw) I actually love the way they all looked after the piece began, and when one of them answered the question both of the people in shot had that look of 'How the hell did you know that?'
That's because they are too young to have watched figure skating in the 90s, or they would have never forgotten this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uiearh4LWis.html 😀
I don't know it either, I prefer symphonies. What bothered me the most was the fact that Mozart was considered "an Austrian composer" while Salzburg was not part of Austria at the time.
The famous part of the William Tell overture is the March of the Swiss Soldiers, the 4th section, which starts with a brass fanfare. Since this wasn't the excerpt played this explained why they got it wrong. I'm an amateur classical violinist and I've played March of the Swiss Soldiers probably about 20 times but never the overture in its entirety, which I would like to do. In fact I've only ever listened to the entire overture once.
Beethoven, Brahms, Austrian composers. Why not? The Anschluss is over since 1945, guys😂 Not even knowing the overture of William Tell ("Carmen" 😂). Amateurs...
@@quaby1194 No, he was not. Salzburg was not a part of Austria at any time during Mozart's lifetime. He remained a citizen of the archbishopric of Salzburg his entire life as well of a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire. Austria, in Mozart's lifetime, was an archduchy (later turned empire, but still part of the Holy Roman Empire) that consisted of large parts of current Austria. It was only understood and seen as an actual country, nationality and something that was not Germany after World War II - coincidentally. Since Mozart was not alive to see Salzburg join Austria, let alone Austria become an actual country, it makes no sense at all to call him Austrian, does it? That would be like saying someone born in current South Tyrol in 1850 was Italian. No, they were not! Neither was someone born in East Karelia in 1721 Russian. Russia only took over Finland and Karelia in 1809, East Karelia being the part that is still Russian to this day. I think the point is clear: Borders change as politics change, wars happen etc. We cannot put the 19th century concept of nationality on an 18th century composer, especially not drawing the borders like they are today. (Since English-speakers are not as aware of nor as interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, the willingness to correct this common mistake is not as present in the UK and US as it is in Germany and Austria. The reason why we view this as so important is that Mozart's nationality has actually been politicised and abused by both Nazi Germany and post-war Austria, one claiming him as German, the other as Austrian. Both countries wanted to own the composer for themselves. Truthfully, only the cities of Salzburg and Vienna can claim such a thing as having been Mozart's home.)
