[Hornlist] son bouche in Elegie

2004-10-19 Thread Mark J. Syslo
Poulenc says son bouche at #17 in Elegie. Am I to assume that from #17 to the end of the piece is stopped? If not, where does it change back to open? Mark J. Syslo ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at

I have an entire dissertation - over 200 pages - on the history of the horn as a solo jazz instrument. It is called _A Horn of a Different Color_. I plan to either send a copy to the HIS archives or print it and sell it at printing cost. It is a socio- theoretical-musicological analysis of the

[Hornlist] BERP in helping smooth out entrances

2004-10-19 Thread jim thompson
We've all seen these BERP's for sale for ~$20. But what do they really do for you? Here's what I'd like it to do for me. I'd like it to occupy a mouthpiece right off the leadpipe right beside my 'main' mpc in my horn which I think it was designed to do so, so far no problem. Before coming in

What if it is at the beginning of the piece? Of course, picture that your nerves have gotten a hold of you, and you forget to move the mouthpiece from the BERP back on to the horn...Here comes the High Bnat ...PPFFFTT. Whoa Nelly. I doubt that there is a serious substitute for

Hi all, Better than a berp is a score of the piece you are playing (or just a good ear). Find a tutti spot where you can quietly play a note of the chord. For example if you are playing a piano concerto in D, find a spot where you can quietly play along on a D concert (our A), or perhaps an A

Hiya, Richard Burdick is a very good and knowledgable horn player, but there are many great players out there who will tell you that buzzing is a valuable practice. I'm with them. You can tell a lot about someone's playing by listening to their buzz. As a player I find it an invaluable tool to

I was glad to see someone finally mentioned Vincent Chancey. I would add Robert Northern (though any work with him as a soloist might be pretty hard to find) and did anyone mention David Amram? I guess I could go back and look through the posts, but am feeling a little lazy right now.

Ditto to what Scott just said - Chris Komer - remember that name. Unbelievably good horn playing, and not just jazz horn playing. I understand his work with Burning River Brass got reviewed in the current Horn Call - and a very glowing review it was - Sandra Clark Toledo, OH -

What you have is a Chinese horn. Now there is an Eastman brand that is supposed to be slightly a cut above some of the other Chinese horns. At one time Atkinson had horns/and or components for horns made in China. It could be that some Chinese company decided to stencil two horn names known
