Was scrolling through instagram and came across this (link to YouTube since linking posts from Instagram is difficult)
I remember this song growing up and so I found the YouTube video:
I had never seen the music video before and I did not know Sheila E. was an accomplished percussionist! I don’t think this music video is meant to showcase her drumming but this has a little bit more:
In honor of the current world cup, here’s a clip of a Roberto Carlos free kick.
Carnival of Venice by Jean-Baptiste Arban performed by Sergei Nakariakov … on a Japanese show?
I go back to this video now and again. It’s interesting to hear talented musicians like Brett and Eddy talk about the talent of Ziyu, as if he’s on another level. The video shows the sheet music as Eddy plays (obligatory “Look at all those little black dots“) but at the end of the video, the last sheet music updates seem to stall and the two meaures seem to be missing (around 27:02).
But there’s another Youtube channel that has it. It’s interesting to hear the differences between the two.
Hans Zimmer, Pirates, 2016. Really starts groovin’ at around 10:27.
John Williams from 1984
Aaron Copland again. But wanted to highlight “Simple Gifts” and the use of the song in the Bluey episode called “Relax“. You’re probably looking for 18:35 with the first introduction of the recognizable line.
Igor Stravinsky, with an intro from Leonard Bernstein. You’re probably looking for 9:54 in the vid for the French horn solo.
