But this is my favorite version, from the movie Brassed Off:

 

[Aluminny69]

I'll bet you never expected this!

Here's someting a little different. What section of the orchestra does the cannon belong in?

 

[Hoops66]

Composed in the 1800s this is one of the more stirring songs from the Red Army Choir, who I think were more performers than soldiers....but I don't know.

 

[Hoops66]

For me, this group was like my first Guinness Stout. After the first sip--eh. But by the end of the glass it was "One more please!"

 

[Beemer]

Here's someting a little different. What section of the orchestra does the cannon belong in?

Anywhere they want!

 

[Boreifs]

[meyers7]

Here's someting a little different. What section of the orchestra does the cannon belong in?

Not sure. My HS band used shotguns fired into metal trash cans. Shook the rafters.

 

[meyers7]

A very enjoyable version of one of my favorite classical tunes. ( I grew up watching The Lone Ranger of TV!)

But this is my favorite version, from the movie Brassed Off:

An now for something quite different.

Mnozil Brass

 

[EasyEd]

This was popular when I was in high school

 

[Waquoit]

One of my favorite pieces. It starts with the theme song to the Bad News Bears before shifting to the music oil additive STP used for decades before shifting back to a final rousing rendition of the Bad News Bears. Skip ahead to the 1:14 mark.

 

[Aluminny69]

An now for something quite different.

Mnozil Brass

I'll see your something quite different ( very funny), and raise you one ( very, very funny.) High School kids.

 

[JavaMan]

My favorite pop-up orchestral piece of all time. I wish I had been in the square that day to be surprised with that.

 

[Ozimoto]

There was a number of "unconventional" treatments of classical music that used orchestral arrangements but "modernized" the music for a contemporary audiences. I'm sure many of you remember "Hooked on Classics."
