So true.

So true 2

Correction: Morricone was nominated for an academy award for this music in the film "The Mission." He won 2 academy awards in total for other areas of recognition.

Absolutely! I never will understand how Ennio Morricone could create such a lovely piece. Gabriel's oboe is my favorite. Nothing like it. I learnt to play sax 50 years old to play this masterpiece. Ennio, thank you for the giant gift you gave to human race with your celestial music.

This ❤️❤️

I guarantee my daughter could match his talent. She is amazing at the oboe and I’m not just being a proud mother. She has had professional oboe players comment on how well she plays for only being 18. The head of a well known college in our state is trying to convince her to major in oboe.

I’m afraid it’s a weak performance. The crescendo is lacking

I had this played at my son's funeral...I love you Johnny, 071717!!!

I'm sorry for your lose!

@@johntroy6323 and I for yours. Death is so hard to get over .

Sending you love and light.

Sending prayers to you a stranger but a fellow human being - Take care, Carol

True.

Gabriel’s oboe

Totally agree. Truly amazing. Listening to this I actually feel the wave of notes washing over me. I have never experienced that with any other piece of music.

If this didn't deserve an Oscar,well....

100%true, There is no piece of music even close to "Gabriel's oboe"

The amount of air and control it takes. Whew.

yea, i play the oboe and was actually just searching up what it sounds like since I'm currently learning it. His control and technique is unbelievable, I'm gonna have to practice a lot to get it like this

it took me exactly 2 years to start liking the oboe knowing how much time and patience it takes

@@jayjay_1652 lol :) Yes you will play like him in a few years!

I'm not an oboe player but i cried during his play.. i guess i understand it.

Please do, keep playing music. Music is healing, music is a direct line to the Divine, music is magic, music is life, music is Light.

You’ll have to oil it and change the corks!

It has been 30 years since I last played mine. Listening to this makes me so sad that I don’t have it anymore 😢

Do it. Just do it.

Did you?

Same. And I incorporated so much Henrik's version that when I listen to another one and there's no glissando (not sure this is the correct term, I mean the switch from a lower note to a higher one) at the end I'm like?

I totally agree beautiful ❤️

I agree with you. Beautiful sensitivity, awesome sustain on the notes that are just begging for it and a complete engagement with the orchestra.. Music is a wonderful and mysterious thing.

Yes, he and the orchestra are absolutely sublime. So breathtakingly beautiful beyond words! 😢😊

This is a beautiful version, I recommend the Ryan Anthonys performance of it on a piccolo trumpet for his own concert CancerBlows.

Amen to that!

I'm voting for the harnessing of electricity and the invention of the transistor and the internet.

@@onlyme112 lol

It's the thing that unites us all. Totally agree with you, @evdanker

Ironically, without science, you wouldn’t have been able to watch this video, and it couldn’t have been recorded!

Near the end of my dad's life from Alzheimer's there were certain hymns or pieces of music that I played and his breathing would slow and steady and he'd squeeze my hand. I wish I would have played this for him. He would have loved it.

Magic of Music❤

How beautiful

That is what wonderful music is for. My mum passed a week after her 97th birthday in October 2019 before all the madness started. Thank God as my old Dad could not have visited her and the Dementia took her so peacefully. I took dad in December to see the Marriage of Figaro in the ROH and as we all loved that Opera it was so moving. Love to all music lovers especially Mozart operas which my Dad introduced me to. Andrew from Belfast

That's so wonderful. Thanks for sharing this lovely story. 👍

Es hermoso ❤❤❤

You must watch the movie “The Mission”. That’s where this music is from. Very much other beautiful music in the movie, too.

@@ritamccarthy1850 thank you so much for replying with this info . I am going to take your suggestion and try to find the movie right away . I hope all is well with you and your family .☮️❤️

War eagle from Birmingham :)

@@christophermichaelson9050 war eagle . Auburn university is one hell of an academic school. As an old meat processor i attended several classes at the on campus meat processing plant. There is truly first class . Bham is not a. Safe place to be in the down town area . I lived in west Jefferson community for about eight years. That was nice. I would attend the Greek orthodox church downtown. We had A armed guard at the door because it was necessary and you know what I mean that was truly sad that they put up with that. I was really glad when I got away from Birmingham. Hope this finds you and your family doing well.

So sorry for your loss ...

Sorry too 💕

That is so beautiful 💖💖💖 May God comfort and guide you all.

Requiescat in Pace

Puppetsministry I am so sorry for your loss💔 please accept my condolences for your family.

We ALL eventually will pass on. Yes, cherish the moment. Danke.

More years for your mother.

A beautiful piece to played at my funeral

That’s a beautiful story. I hope you get to hear it again!

Such a beautiful remembrance! Thank you for sharing!

I tear up every. single. time. It’s just so beautiful.

I would like to know...which are the other pieces?

Like now😢

Creations like this make us less poor...

Only beauty will save us.

@@aprboone1 Grace is beautiful ...and in this case, the message and actions of grace were atually set into the musical score ...beautifully!

On earth as it is in heavens !

Indeed...❤

100% agree!!!!! I have the CD currently in my disk changer.... old style here, still with CD's. :)

I love cds too. There is no comparison to having something in your hand. Also one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

@@jadeddayz1276 I'm back on LPs.

I had an OST vinyl record of this film but lost, once you've heard this music, you will never forget, what a master piece, sad for today's children, they've never knew what they've missed....

Many years ago (in 1998, I believe), I worked at the K-Mart in the small Tennessee town I lived in. I worked with one of the most fascinating (and kind) people I've ever known, a man named Wayne. He was a former concert pianist of 20-something years. He had worked at half a dozen opera houses around the world over his career. We talked about music in many, if not most of our conversations. At the end of that year, he gave me a Christmas present of a handful of CDs of his favorite recordings of much of the music he had shared with me. My one significant contribution to our many discussions of classical music, was when I told him about how "Gabriel's Oboe" was one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I'd ever heard. His response was to gently correct my pronunciation of "Ennio Morricone," and to tell me that he was in a New York bar one evening, many years earlier, talking music through the night with Mr. Morricone. I'll never forget the year I spent having those many conversations with a man named Wayne.

Un abrazo.

Hoe beautiful.

I dearly hope you're doing better now xxx

Banned? Dangerous? Goodness... This is some of the most light-embodied music out there. I am sorry for your circumstances.

@@anabellecorrigan-musicteac5120 I don't think the song itself was banned, it was just that a live performance of it would have required the brother to take off their mask if they were going to play the oboe, which would have risked the spread of COVID.

Yes yes...

It's the best rendition in my opinion! Have watched it so many times.. 👏👏👏❤️🇦🇺

same - the reason why I'm here, the world has lost an incredible gift

A true legend

Sad day.

I shed a tear this morning.

@@TallDocK As did every other man or woman with a heart for music, a very sad day indeed

I cry too.

Signore Moriccone welcomes your tears...

:(

Me too. But just because it reminds me of my Grampa

Mr Goldschmidt’s rendition, this powerful emotional song was very helpful in my overcoming the emotional suffering of being wrongly divorced…

Of all the songs you could have happened upon… I’m glad it was this one. Beautiful indeed. Also, well done introducing and bringing music into your child’s world. Parenting A+

If it exists, I'd be totally okay with that.

i think so

Along with the great gig in the sky.

yes if such is? watch the movie childhoods end 6h of confusion its worth it.....

cox tony montana jos

I didn't know that. thank you

Our goal in this life is to leave the world a little better than we found it . Mr Morricone succeeded …

Me too, Su, completely agree!

Moves me to tears also.

Same here

Yes

This. Music makes me so at peace and happy that why I love to here over and over.....

In school I played the oboe too. I felt the same way you expressed. I went to a huge school and remember there being so many that played the snare drum, saxophone, clarinet and flute... We used to perform a mini solo for a grade and I'd get a little embarrassed because my instrument (sound) was so different than everyone else's. Over time I learned and realized this is a beautiful sounding instrument and not the easiest to learn and master. I encourage you to keep at it, if you enjoy playing. Look up oboe orchestra solos for inspiration.

I had the same experience. I wish now that I had the maturity to take it more seriously. All the violins and cellos and french horns all exist mostly to serve the oboe.

Would not have expected the Oboe to be such an unpopular instrument. It's sound is just incredible.

Left out? Bruh, you're in a band, lol

@@skinnysnorlax1876 people said I sounded like a dying chicken 💀

agreed.

10 out of 10 ducks agree

its a pain in the ass to play, though

coralasinthereef try playing with your mouth instead?

Thierry Dussuet HAH!

There are millions of tone deaf people. Mostly because they think "proper" music sounds like 💣💥🔨💥🗡💥⛏💥🐸

@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 What?What on earth are you trying to say?

@@sarahjones-jf4pr 🔊🎶😄😏🤪😸😘

I’m anAC/DC fan along with Bob Dylan , Van Morrison, Tom Petty etc, etc but this stuff is a cut above 👍👍🇬🇧.

Bruno Z . Agree, often wonder if folk give a thumbs down for the heck of it.. This particular rendition is .. absolutely brilliant .. As another comment mentioned CDs, I also have this one too..

You will! With dedicated and humble practice, you will be rewarded with the means to produce this magical sound on your instrument. Faith, practice, and taking joy in the process!

Serendipity!

You ain't the first my friend, you won't be the last, I've cried buckets at this composition, although the morricone conducting morricone version with full choir gets me every time

Same😂

The same happened to me! It brought me to tears! Such a wonderful music!

Hello

Good evening

How are you doing

SMELLY FANTASY!!!

Hello, good evening, how are you doing

I feel you brother

😳

Probably this or “L’estasi dell’oro”, either way, he is and will always be missed.

uhhh wat

@@lebronjesus172 what?

@@pliskin179 it just sounded sus

Music is magic. Enjoy your performance with your friends!

Maria, can someone record this so you can post it to You Tube? We would love to hear it!

I'm sure you did.

so how did it went?

I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did. Best of luck buddy. I sincerely wish you the best.

Very touching words ❤

Aniarable Channel, years and years of practice! And did I mention years of practice? Beautiful playing!

Aniarable Channel part of it has to do with the reed. If you scrape it just right you can make a reed capable of doing that. But you also have to practice a lot to be able to play like that.

Most likely he has played this hundreds of times over an over. Practise makes a master.

His instrument is also fully automatic. A puchner i remember, very rarely

Play with yourself.

+777atmyplace RJM thanks for this comment, I am very interested in hearing more about this

I agree. I t puts my head back in place at times of turmoil too

@@maramarxx2431 Incredible understanding 👏 playing it over and over..

I find it strange but it is correct it reaches your soul ,it makes you happy and sad in equal proportion .This is special,I have listened to several players but this man is better in my opinion.

​@@briansephton8777 I have come to believe that the essence of this song is beauty. And beauty is God... and that's why it goes straight to our souls... it speaks to the hunger deep within, for beauty, for love. And the beauty of this melody is such that it pierces the veil of noise and distraction that is this world... leaving us pining for God, for Beauty and Love Itself.

Helena Santana You just made me laugh! 🤣🤣🤣

Is that u in the picture?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

Helena Santana o

Brilliant description! Thanks for the laugh!

Wait what? Blog that

Wait, you an oboe player too?

beautiful

안녕하세요

And beautiful.

Comparto Silvia. He escuchado MUCHAS versiones de esta pieza del Gran Maestro Morricone y es la que más me gusta. Es simplemente maravillosa, encierra toda la emotividad y la sacralidad de esta pieza magistral. Se escucha con el alma, no con los oídos.

@@juancruzzabala5116 You say the truth, one listens with the soul, not the ears.

+Diana Phoenix I´m always crying when I see this video... is so emotional...

+Diana Phoenix Me too- EVERY time.

Let the earth rise up, Master Morricone.

I learned it on C harp. My favourite music of all time.

Efrat Gerlich :)

This song is LITERALLY from Heaven! No joke!

PERFECT & PURE

@@koonae do you know what that means 쀼롓

I agree with you. This is one of my favourite song and same as what you said it sounds directly from the heaven

How lucky you were

I play it on my Irish tin whistle for my kids.

Brings tears to my eyes and uplifts my heart.

+Justin Liu perhaps not the most beautiful instrument, I have tried for years to play it, but certainly beautiful playing. My teacher said, "it's just a tube, the beauty comes from you"

+Doug Delaney Exactly, the music comes from the heart and not from the instrument in himself

Doug Delaney So if you grab a tube on the street and start playing it, it's gonna sound beautiful by itself?

Justin Liu We can make some music with anything.. Then, the wood which is used ( the ebony) to make an oboe favors its beautiful sound. (and sorry for my bad English :/)

+Justin Liu Hell yeah it is

And the violin too, sometimes it sings...

The Theremin is very similar as well

If you are interested in ethnic music, I played Gabriel's Oboe with my traditional Korean instrument. lol Please come and listen to my instrument. There are so many instruments in the world. Thank you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK2kaLuGtay-nYk.html

Yes! I put the theme to the mission at the top of my list and listen to it daily. I also like Yo-Yo Ma's rendition as well. I want this to be the last thing I hear as life slips away in my time. I swell with emotion every time I listen.

It is but an echo that remains ! Alas no more disgust at humans!

It's true, transformation of person to music

It reminds you something inconciously. Might be good or bad. But when you cry it is your soul crying, of joy or sadness. Look very deep inside you.

I am the same.

Because it's beautiful

The same!

+Dianne Adkins it's really hard for me to cry, but I was about to. it's so beautiful and perfect

I agree!

Oboe and violin!

Nah trumpet is better

NieJestemzPolskiPL this and the English horn. ❤❤

To me, the most beautiful instruments are oboe and euphonium. In fact, there is a version of this piece on KZfaq played on euphonium, by David Childs. Check it out, it's beautiful.

Many do.

Yes it's heavenly music.

+j parks The Church is not evil. We humans are the ones who let evil work within us if we let it. Are you perfect? Have you never committed any simple errors deliberately knowing that you could make a better choice, even if you knew it for a second? Have you ever experienced joy when someone forgave you for something? I am glad to know that even with my imperfections I am called to convert and become a better person, a better Christian every day. Because of the mercy that I know has been granted to me, then I can be merciful towards others. If you really saw the movie, you would see it portraits reality as it was... with it's good side and bad side and how wonderful it was that many Jesuits gave their lives to protect the indigenous people of that region, how they respected their believes, how they respected each other. I would invite you to see the movie with an open heart and mind. Anyway, music is a gift and, indeed, beautiful when that talent is well used. Take care and happy new year 2016. :-)

RikiSmiley Exactly!

mr. parks im an agnostic but i have to disagree with you the roman catholics and jesuits have done a lot of good things but its not pure because it has humans behind it. there are no such things as evil unless one human has no intention of being good .

Amen, amen!
