It sounded to me like part of the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, FWIW - cheers!

i really need to do this, but sweet raptor jesus that looks freaky. I would be expecting to hear Beethoven's Ninth through the whole procedure.

Beethoven 9, really? Ode to Joy? Maybe more like Orff's Carmina Burana.

I was going more with the Clockwork Orange reference than the dramatic music reference, but yeah. O Fortuna would be more appropriate.

Oh, and the full piece of music in case anyone wants to hear it is Carmina Burana by Orff. Good stuff!

"orff!"

This is great. I've never really delved into classical music. I have Dvorak's New World Symphony, because I saw a live performance once and enjoyed it. I also have Carl Orff's Carmina Burana because I wanted to know where the music that is so often used in media came from.
I would like to enjoy more classical music, but don't know where to start.

timpani isn't a very well constructed instrument now that I think about it. 3rd world drums play a much clearer, louder, deeper sounds than these behemoths. These bulbous cauldrons sound way too flat to say the least.
Perhaps because western orchestra's always been about the strings and the winds, and not so much on the percussions.


This isn't an example of a good timpani sound, or a particularly wise orchestration. It looks like a college recital, performed by a student who is still learning, so I wouldn't base your judgment of this instrument on one video.

There are many cool sounding low pitched ethnic drums, but none of them allow you to tune to a particular pitch on the fly. If you look closely, you'll see the performer adjusting a pedal - which tightens or loosens the head - at the base of these drums. A nice set of drums, played by a skilled player will give you a huge, clear awesome sound.

I'd recommend you check out a good recording of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Orff's Carmina Burana or Holst's Planets for a good idea of how Timpani are supposed to sound. You hear it quite a bit in film music too.

Percussion was underused in Western art music up until the 20th Century, so while most of the classical chestnuts only have a bit of perc here and there, you see quite a bit in music written over the last 100 years.

I arranged Bach's Passacaglia in Cm for Vibes, Marimba and Bass (with low C extention) for my junior recital, and it worked really well. I should dig that out and do it again somewhere.

Karl Orff really was ahead of his time!

hehe. i'll roll a paladin.

one of the better uses of orff's always-usefully-dramatic little ditty.

No vote because of the overused Carl Orff music.
