Thank you for doing this, it helped me a lot

I appreciate the kind words from everyone! I created this video while I was teaching a high school AP Music Theory prep course and it became clear to me that this needed to be made. Many times we need to be able to A/B compare sounds to truly get a sense of the differences, especially if you're fairly new to this. Hopefully I will be able to make more videos available to everyone soon. I'm glad it's helping people!

i will use this to choose what instrument to play in school. is this a good way to firgure it out?

I actually never got tired of that tune.

While there are many videos of this nature out there on the internet and KZread, this particular video demonstration of the instruments of the orchestra is excellent. It is highly and very recommendable by me. It is very useful to my students. I find it to be very professional, effective, and well produced. Many thanks to the publisher

As one who is studying the orchestra I found this quite helpful to listen to both solo and group versions of each instrument playing the melodic motif you gave us. I definitely appreciate this video, and please keep sharing information and such about orchestral subjects.

I wish I can play every song instrument in this video! 🎻🎺🎷😊

Thank you, this is wonderful. As an older 'student,' I found this very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this with us!

The best presentation of "Instruments of the Orchestra".

Veerryy appreciative of this. ....my lecturer gave me an assignment to identify each family of orchestra in the "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" and I must say, after watching this I will b better able to carry out the assignment

I've been looking for something like this for years, thanks a lot!

I have no idea why I watched the entire thing. I don't play any instrument nor do I have anything to do with music xD

Thanks for posting this. It's something I had always wondered about.

guys, there is actually a piece of music that talks about and demonstrates the different instruments of the orchestra. the piece is called The Young Persons Guide To The Orchestra

this is what i need to learn as a beginner/ amateur composer, thank you so much for your effort making this video! :D :D :D

thank you this is the perfect primer i needed for my logic pro x composition training.

@musictheoryauralperception2738

+Jacob Ras thank you! I could have done violin 1 and violin 2 separate as well, but I chose to just do violins 1 (mainly because of the time crunch I was on). I don't know how much I could help you with words on this but, there wouldn't be a huge sonic difference. Of course, there are different players in the two sections so the sound is a little different, but the blend of a group washes the sound a little more than with individual instruments. Also, there are sometimes more players in the violin 1 section (there are exceptions to everything, of course). Ex: 14 violin 1 players, 12 violin 2 players. It varies from orchestra to orchestra. Something else that could make a sonic difference is where the groups sit on stage. There are a variety of seating arrangements for the strings. Most orchestras (and probably the most traditional arrangement) have the strings left to right: violins 1, violins 2, violas, cellos, double basses. A common alternate seating is: violins 1, violas, cellos, violins 2, and double basses behind the violins 2. (This is what you see in the video, though, sonically you're hearing them in the first arrangement I mentioned.) My hometown orchestra has been using the alternate arrangement lately, and they're actually putting the double basses on the left behind the violins 1. The different arrangements change the sonic character and if you think about it in a stereo field, the violins 1 & 2 would sound more stereo panned left and right than the traditional setup. I hope this helps a little. Thanks for watching!

Hey, I may sound stupid asking this but why do u need 14 violin players, all playing the same notes . So why not chorus it digitally. ? this may be economical .

@cristianabarradas414

It's an orchestra, totally unplugged. Since you depend on acoustics you only can achieve higher volume by using more instruments playing the same thing. Of course there are another variations, like the room where people are playing (that's what acoustical architecture is for). When it comes to classical music nothing is better than a totally natural sound, you'll get a fuller sound. This videos shows it perfectly, if you only had one and only instrument each you would get a somehow empty sound when compared to the fuller group one. It is totally normal that if you're not into music that much you won't spot the difference. Practice makes you perfect. Cheers!

Thanks Christiana. So in an orchestra , no mic or speakers are involved and the room is acoustically padded? So when all the instruments are played together, that should somehow supress the the sound which wind chimes or xylophones produces!

@musictheoryauralperception2738

8 жыл бұрын

+Snehal Samar This is not a stupid question. Cristiana made some good points, but there's a little more to it as well. It's true that volume is definitely a major reason. It'd be hard for a single stringed instrument like a violin or cello to even be heard when brass is playing or loud percussion regardless of whether it had any kind of chorus effect on it. Certain instruments just aren't that loud in comparison to others. Just look at high school marching bands as opposed to the next level. College drum corps often don't even have woodwinds because they'd never be heard over the wall of sound from the brass and percussion. As Cristiana said, an orchestra is acoustic so digital effects aren't typically used, at least in a live setting (film scores can have just about anything...). Actually, in most big orchestral live settings there can, and often are, microphones and speakers. These are usually just used as accent mics to isolate a soloist or small group that needs to cut through the orchestra. You'll often see one on the concertmaster (first chair violinist) as this player often has solo lines. In a classical guitar concerto, the guitarist would have no chance of being heard throughout the piece if he/she is not amplified in some way. There's no shame in using modern technology to accomplish the desired mix. You better believe that if Bach, Mozart, etc. had access to what we do today THEY'D BE USING IT. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know their music history. These composers and others were using new methods and technology (for their time) all the time. Outside of the volume solution, the sound of multiple violins playing together sounds almost nothing like a solo violin with a chorus effect. Quite simply, it would sound fake and nasally. To get the "strings" sound as opposed to just a solo stringed instrument, you need at least three or four violins playing in unison. Trust me when I say, a solo violin digitally chorused would not have the same effect. Keep in mind, a chorus effect is meant to be just that. An effect. Orchestras typically strive for the most natural sound. Orchestras can be many sizes. A smaller chamber orchestra may only have six players per string part (or even less depending on the group) but they'd still have the "strings" sound, although it would not be quite as full. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Xylophones and marimbas are different. Marimbas are big xylophones.

What Jacob Ras and Soundofmusic777 said is exactly right. As I mentioned in another comment, I made this video for an AP Music Theory course I was teaching. Sure, it would have been more desirable to use a live orchestra but, as Soundofmusic777 stated, it would cost an obscene amount of money to arrange and record that. Computer generated is not exactly how I would think of it. The sample sets I'm using are top of the line, I assure you, and most certainly help in understanding the subject matter. My goal with this, once I realized how much it helped my students, was to release it for everyone since this hasn't really been done much before. Thanks for watching!

@musictheoryauralperception2738

It's sad, I know... I could've included the harp, but it has such a unique sound and character that it didn't seem necessary given the time I had to do this. The point of this video was to compare instruments (and instrument groups) within their respective sections. I believe it would be difficult to mistake the harp for any of the other instruments. I would say the same for the piano as well. If I did an extended version I would include the piccolo, english horn, the various clarinets, the various styles and sizes of trumpets, trombones, and tubas, more percussion, harp, piano, guitar, etc. But, there's only so much time in the day to make free videos, unfortunately.
