We loved it. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish -- inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of Beethovens 5 Secrets, combining OneRepublics tune Secrets with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethovens 5th Symphony. We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethovens 5th Symphony (not including the bridge the orchestra plays in the middle). Try to guess where they are and where they come from! What are Beethovens secrets? He had many. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his weakness. He was deaf during most of his life. Imagine that...one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. And yet, he wrote his lifes greatest works after becoming deaf. He believed that art itself had secrets that had to be forced into in order to obtain arts highest level. There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the secrets of art -- people all over the world enjoy them every day. He was a true master of music, blessed by God. This piece and video are dedicated to him. Music Beethovens 5 Secrets by The Piano Guys (Google Play • AmazonMP3 • iTunes) youtu.be/G5VWf84r33U?list=RDG5VWf84r33U
