This song was written by Harold Arlen for the 1939 MGM classic THE WIZARD OF OZ. It is widely believed to be the most loved and enduring popular song of the 20th century. It is played here on the 1929 RCA theremin that once belonged to the late Hollywood thereminist, Dr. Samuel Hoffman.

Yep. First became popular in Hollywood during the 40s to accompany scenes depicting disturbing dreams, hallucinations, etc. In the 50s the theremin began to be popularly used in sci-fi and horror films. One of the first to use it was the 1953 science fiction movie It Came From Outer Space. Cool instrument that can really create an eerie atmosphere.

Lev Theramin could have simply built the instrument with a sine wave and it would have been pretty good, but he took it to the next level and designed a unique waveform with an organic character and beauty to rival any physical instrument. The timbre sounds like a blend of human voice and violin. Even without the expressiveness of the ingenious control interface, the raw sound is a masterpiece.

to my understanding their was revived interest in the 60's when Brian Wilson of the beach boys incorporated it into the top 40 hit, "good vibrations," but the popularity was short lived, my guess is that the Moog synthesizer which was all the hype at the time was able to produce similar sounds causing the theremin to fall into obscurity and as a novelty being as it is difficult to play, much practice and completely "by ear," many are lost without sheet music and other points of reference.

To answer the question many people are probably having while looking at the comments, an explanation of the question: "Who is Bill?" About two months ago the creator of a cartoon show called Gravity Falls held an in-character AMA (Ask Me Anything) and answered questions as if he were one of the show's antagonists, Bill Cipher, a deranged Dream Demon and massive fan favorite. While many asks were answered with bizarrely written and nonsensical responses, others were responded to with seemingly random video links. One of them led here.

This sound is like the sound of a ghost. It's really romantic and soft sounds.

Beautifully performed, artistic....well done thank you. Also, this Theremin is one of the classic tube driven examples which produce a sound that is musical in a way that modern versions find difficult to replicate.

To anyone whose ever played a musical instrument, what a wonderful performance this is. Imprecise because it’s totally done with the hands not touching the instrument itself, but also beautiful and quite challenging to play. Plus, Over the Rainbow is not an easy melody to perform. Beautifully done! Bravo!

@G6JPG Жыл бұрын

It's not an easy melody to _remember_ , let alone perform! It's quite complex. But worth it. (No, I can't play it [on my harmonica or keyboard] - I can never remember how it goes all the way through.)

it's awesome... First time I'm seeing this music instrument. I was unfamiliar to this thing yet. Today is Clara Rockmore's 105th Birthday. I saw Google's doodle and web app which is dedicated to theremin and Clara. so now I'm here to see this instrument.
