STEEMIT OpenMic Week 75 ❍ |"Theme from Schindler's List" |

in #openmic6 years ago


...
In this video i play the theme from the soundtrack of the movie: "Schindler's list".

Its a piece beautifully composed by the legendary John Williams and played by Ithzak Perlman, one of the greatest violinists of his time, who inspired me to play it for you.

I played this piece for the first time when i was 13 and it still has a great impact on me after all these years. There couldnt have been a better score composed for this movie. The movie is great on its own but without the score by John Williams i really doubt it would have had such a lasting impact amongst all the other great movies dealing with the tragedy of WW2.

The moment in the movie i remember the most, when you hear this theme, is when Schindler is handed the letter and a ring with the inscription:
"He who saves one life saves the world entire"

...moments before leaving his factory realizing what little a human life meant in the time of the regime. _A mere trinket on his jacket would have meant, one more. _
That scene is pure emotion. (And the way he picks up the ring, when he drops it accidentally)
Like it means the world to him.
Ugh, dont cry Marica, dont cry... 😢

..lalalalalalalalalala...On to something else i want to say... Wheres the transition button when you need it?

(Couldnt find a bigger arrow 😂)
These guys make really great stuff and really work hard, so i would like to encourage everyone to go and give them some love.
Maybe invite them to a beer and some nachos. 😂

Anyways, i hope did the theme justice.
Oh, and if you enjoy this video, and it gets a positive enough reaction i might do a series of popular themes from movies or even video games. (Some amazing stuff there as well)
Feel free to drop your suggestions in the comments and ill see you later.

Keep on Steeming! 😁
Bye bye

absolutely beautiful

A warm musical melody and a talent for playing

Top stuff, a lot more modern than what we do! But good music is good music!

How do you raise interest of the general Steemit public for classical music? You go with something familiar to them... 😁

Yes, we are really a specialist Baroque Early music orchestra. So for us, the top hits are Vivaldi Four Seasons and Pachelbel Canon.

Haha. Well said.. Baroque is great but id say my preferences and favorites lie in the Romantic period. 😊
Probably not odd for a violinist to say. Hehe

One day you will see the light!

You had me at classical music after you left a wonderful Comment in my post.

That movie really made me feel how bad the Holocaust was but showed as well the beauty of the human spirit.

Haha. 😁
Yes. I couldnt have said it better myself. The movie shows the highest of highs and the lowest of lows of humanity.

Made the train, so got to listen whilst waiting for it to go. Touching performance, one of my favourite movies!

Thx Bengy. 😁 Hope it brings some attention to the #.. Schindlers list is just baby steps. Cant hit them with Tchaikovsky right away. Hehe.

It is incredible what u can do with a simple theme. Williams is the man :) For me the best part was the synthesis from 1:50 till the end. Thank you for your performance!

Any time. 😂
Williams as i said is a legend. Its actually one of my dreams to work on a legit movie score. It wont happen but one can dream. 😁

Such a great entry @silentscreamer, you make that violin delicately wail so many emotions
I have included you in my Judge's Top List Review For Week 75

My sountrack of today... thanks a lot

Beautifully done!
I love this particular piece of work :) The melody is so heart-breaking, not elaborate but at the same time really conveying emotions.

Yeah its very straight forward. The theme itself is probably lower intermediate level to play but it really doesnt need to be any more complicated to convey the feeling. And thats the beauty and brilliance of John Williams.

Yeah, that movie is something spectacular. One of those movies where I didn't think about the camera and acting and scenery... I was simply wrapped in human story and feelings and... damn allergies... amazing movie.

Allergies left and right. My brother cried to this as well. He never cries. We were all concerned for him. Told him he should go see a doctor. 😂

Yeah, exactly, if you leave allergies unattended, who knows what can happen. When I consulted my doctor, he suggested Rocky IV and a beer. It helped ;)

Hahaha. Rocky always helps.😂
