​@@joshuathompson4242 Right? I was shocked as well! There's absolutely nothing wrong with loving classical music, and listening to it does not mean you're nerdy or old (I'm in my 20s). In fact, I would actually argue that listening to it and appreciating it makes you a more sophisticated and respectable person, and I will believe that wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. Good for Britten for composing a piece like this, and good for all of the teachers out there who continue to share it with their students. Also, thank you for taking the time to comment on this. It actually made my morning knowing that someone out there cared enough to point that out. I hope you're enjoying the piece as much as I am! :D

My most distinctive memory from my 6th grade music classes was hearing this piece for the first time (as well as Henry Purcell's Rondeau, on the same day). I was 11 or 12 years old, so you can really see how much of an impact that moment had on me, since I still remember it so vividly 17 years later. That full orchestra playing the main theme of the piece in full power is one of the most majestic things ever. It was actually only several years later that I reconnected with this song - because back in 2003/2004 I didn't have the access to the internet I have today - but listening to this piece still takes me back to that moment, when I was a little boy in class and got chills all over me when I heard this for the first time. From this episode, it was only obvious that I became the person I am today, deeply interested in classical music and older music from the 60s-80s. I can't speak for my colleagues from back then, but I'm almost sure I am the only one who got such a reaction from that moment in class.

"The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" is based on a theme from Purcell's Abdelazar. The soundtrack of the film Pride and Prejudice (2005) features another version of Purcell's Abdelazar theme titled "A Postcard to Henry Purcell" by the composer Dario Marianelli.

I guess its the same, in chorus everyone have their specific section and all the harmonies add up to make a complete piece of music sound beautiful and thats exacly what theyre doing with their instuments. I love that the camera man gave everyone close ups on their specific "solo".

Hey! Here are the instruments in order of solos: Woodwinds: flutes and piccolo, oboes, clarinets, bassoons Strings: violins, violas, cellos, double basses, harp Brass: French horns, trumpets, trombones and tuba Then the percussion (timpani is the instrument that sort of guides the rest. You hear it throughout this solo) timpani, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, snare drum, wood block, xylophone, castanets, gong, whip` I hope this helps

When I was younger, people sometimes said, listen to Britten, he is very inspiring and imaginative... And I usually said like MEH. Now I understand, that it is really something... that is real music from an extraordinary composer of modern music, who proved that it is possible to invent something new, while it may be still listenable, even more- absolutely beautiful.

Thank you very much! 🤗

I couldn't get this out of my head for months. Took me a few days to find, but I have finally found it.

Zum Glück ist die Schulzeit lange vorbei. Ich höre es einfach nur gerne, weil es schön ist...

It is always a pleasure to open this musical example to teach students on the instruments of the orchestra.

Fabulous. I have always loved this piece of music!

Esta es la pieza orquestal que más recuerdo con amor de mi infancia. ¡Hermosa!

I JUST LOVE this music being used extensively in the movie of Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" !

I really like this. We had to watch this in Music yesterday and I really enjoyed this.!!!

Love this piece! Especially the fugue!

I remember hearing this in my middle school music class. Brings a tear to my eyes.

in highschool listening rn in class

you gotta appreciate this piece of art

Every child should be required to view and listen to this majestic presentation (it was written for them)

I listened to a taping of this in 4th grade for an art contest! My entry only won an honorable mention at the time, but it got me 'hooked' on classical music just the same!

I'm 15. I'm not here because of school. I'm here because it's a phenomenal piece of music and the ending is FIRE and i love how it layers up variations from the theme at 14:00 introducing all the different instruments back in until finally at 16:00 the Brass come in over the amazing countermelodies with the original tune and its just so majestic and amazing.

WDR Symphony Orchestra may not be as famous as Berlin, but they do have more than a decent sound. This performance AND this orchestra give that sound on what a professional orchestra should be. Give mad props to them...

Thanks for sharing this to us. Good. I had the LP with narration.

3 years after hearing this in music class, I HAVE FINALY FOUND THIS PEACE OF ART!

J adore l orchestre.vous jouez trop bien. Super bravo. 👏 ❤

6:31 His hair tho.

This is a wonderful piece. I remember playing the principle French horn part for this at school. The main melody and horn solo were fine. But the fugue part - I had to practice that until my lips bled. It sounded fantastic, though. It was definitely worth the blood.

I've loved this orchestra immensely ever since my band director played it for us when I was in fifth grade. Each time I revisit it, I'm immediately 11 years old again, awestruck by every part of the arrangement.

We are glad that we could turn back time for you like that. 😉

Very relaxing but energetic piece of music

When I hear this, the image of Lizzy Bennet and Mrs Darcy dancing in Pride and Prejudice automatically comes to mind.

That performance brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why this piece always does that to me. This was the best performance I've seen yet!! Bravo!

Thank you :-)

Best version I have ever heard!

I had a vinyl with this when I was little, so nostalgic!

Thank you Henry Purcell!

I found out I’m playing this alongside Brahms 5 for my second ever Symphony concert season as a trombone player with my first performance being tonight 😅 I am SUUPER excited to perform this!! I LOVE how this piece highlights all sorts of different colors/tambres within the ensemble. Truly a masterpiece!
