Re: [Hornlist] mozart 2

2003-02-18 Thread Prof.Hans Pizka
What does your music history teacher expect by ten pages analysis of Mozart no.2 
concerto ? As a musical analysis of an "occasional work" (as are all horn concertos by 
Mozart anyway) would cover not more than one page, if at all (exposition - used 
natural harmonics, used "manipulated notes" - development - recapitulation - cadenca & 
similar but less material about 2nd % 3rd mov.), the only things you could write 
about: three pages blah-blah about the horns history, other two or three pages about 
the hand horn techique (difficult to assemble more text on this matter) and a list of 
performers ibcluding the different metronom, perhaps a long list of books with text 
about the horn.

Sources: Heinrich Domnich: Method for Horn, Hans Pizka: Mozart & the Horn (get through 
interloan from e.g. Pierpont Mogan Library N.Y.), The Horn Call, Mozart Jahrbuch, 
Freiberg: The Horn (from Hohe Schule der Musik).

Screw your teacher about his silly attempt to screw you. All this things are done over 
& over & over in the same way & are useless absolutely. It is just wasting time, 
wasting your time, as I am sure, you could do much better with your time. The music 
history teacher simply was too lazy to think more about what you could write about.

e.g. the importance of the horn in the early development of the Woodwind Quintet Music.

e.g. the change of the role of the horn in the brass- or Wind-Band.

Good luck for your project.

[Hornlist] Uploaded: Horn trio - Canzona Villanesca

2003-02-18 Thread Klaus Bjerre
The most recent upload is a short Italian renaissance dance: Canzona
Villanesca, a tititle that would translate into something like Village song.
the file size is 54 KB.

It can be found at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterBBb/files/Canzona%20villanesca%20Hor
n-4.pdf

or

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterBBb/files/

At the latter page you can find a number of my arrangements. As copyright is
now a much bigger theme than it was decades ago, the selection offered only
represents a fraction of my production.

Below here you will find the foreword to the Canzona Villanesca.

Enjoy!

Klaus

PS: All applicants have identified themselves by now. That is nice. There
seems to be a problem for people, that do not like Yahoo. I will solve that
problem as soon as I can afford a commercial site holding 400+ MB (and still
counting). Sadly that is not likely to happen anytime soon.



Canzona Villanesca

by Tomaso Cimello (Venezia 1545)
edited by Klaus Bjerre for 3 horns in F

This is a small three part Italian Renaissance tune in the style of a
village song. Nothing pretentious, but beautiful enough to be given as a
presentation of a section of a quartet, while the 1st horn or a soloing
member takes a short break.

The opinion of the present editor is, that this tune with its varying meters
comes out of a local dance tradition. An interpretation, that lies behind
the articulations, which have been added.

The dynamics are entirely by this editor. They have been added to support a
declamatory performance. The original has 4 verses of text. The number of
repeats, if any, is left to the discretion of the performers. In a context
with other ensembles variations in instrumentation through the repetition of
verses are an obvious option.

No parts are provided, only a score. There are four more scores for various
combinations of instruments, all in the same key, but with various clefs and
transpositions applied to the three parts. All scores can be used
simultaneously for ensemble performances, if the balance between the three
parts is taken into careful consideration.

There is an all concert bass clef score. To be played by any combination of
bass clef instruments. In a brass contexts that could be 3 trombones, 3
euphoniums, or the top of a tuba quartet, 2 euphoniums and a bass tuba.

There is a score for horn in F, trombone, and tuba as found as the bottom
three fifths of a brass quintet.

There is an all treble clef score for Eb alto horn, Bb baritone/Bb
euphonium, and Eb tuba as found as the conical brass core in a British style
brass band. Plus an all treble clef score for the Bb tenor range instruments
of the brass band.

And then there of course are all the lower pitched clarinets, the bassoons,
and the saxophones, that might find a part to play from.

Re: [Hornlist] Need a reccomendation for school horns

2003-02-18 Thread Scott Pappal
Kipp:

On that type of budget, you could take a look at:

Yamaha 567 (Should be around $1575 through NAMM)
Conn 8D, 9D, 10D, or 11D (Without the cut bell, you
could find these as low as around $2200.) 

I would not advocate the cheaper horns such as Jupiter
or any of the Chinese models - they're just not worth
it, and they won't hold up to everyday public school
wear-and-tear. Holton horns are not for me, the sound
is way too trombonish, and the quality control of the
valves is terrible. 

These are just my recommendations.

Sorry, Jay, I understood it right that way. As a pro I must be more sensitive than

Hi,
I need to obtain the horn parts for the band version of Polka and 
Fuguefrom Schwanda. Can anyone offer suggestions of where I 
might be able to buy these parts? Somehow our band ended up 
with only 1 first horn part in Eb (none in F) and we don't have the 
money in our budget to buy another copy of the piece. I am not 
asking for illegal copies..

Beej,
I would be most surprised if a retail store would have loose copies 
of the horn parts lying around available. The band score and parts 
are usually sold in complete packets, or scores can be purchased 
separately. Sometimes, however, you can order individual parts. I 
would try contacting Shattinger Music, one of the world's best 
sources for band music. Call 800-444-2408, or look on the web at 
www.shattingermusic.com. Jim Cochran knows the answer to 
absolutely EVERYTHING!  If this fails, contact the current 
publisher, which might sell you individual parts.

Hope it helps more than hurts,
Brent

decided one day to do this only on the F side of the horn.  Right then,
start pp and then upto FF then back down.  Simple enough...  Top line F#

[Hornlist] One more Horn Quartet upload

2003-02-18 Thread Klaus Bjerre
One more upload for Horn Quartet, which will be presented by a full quote of
its preface at the end of this posting. Size is 94 KB.

Like the Vivaldi upload there are a number of very challenging technical
aspects to this arrangement. The 4th horn part is partially much more
difficult than the Vivaldi setting. Whereas the 1st horn again is not taken
above G on top of the staff.

As for accessing the files:

You will, as previously told of, have to join a Yahoo group only open to
approved members. I will only approve applicants identifying themselves.
Sadly I already have a line-up of applicants only giving me odd anonymous
mail addresses. They will not be approved until they reveal their identity.
I have not rejected these addresses yet, as that will prevent them from ever
becoming members. But rejection will happen soon. Sorry if this sounds
harsh, but I feel no obligations towards anonymous persons.

If you join the group you will find files involving the horn in woodwind and
brass 5-tet arrangements.

All people that on earth do dwell

Edited for Horn Quartet by Klaus Bjerre (2003)

A collection of settings based on the theme known in English speaking
countries as ³All people that on earth do dwell². The titles coming out of
other countries are given in the respective languages.

The two first settings have the melody allocated to the Tenor. The rest of
the settings have the melody in the top voice.

The general aim of this editor has been to make settings, which will work in
a church plainsong context. As Preludes, Interludes, Postludes, and of
course together with the congregation plainsong, alone or combined with the
organ. One aspect of that aim can be found in the equivalent settings for
Woodwind Quintet and for Brass Quintet, to which latter has been added
optional parts for church ensembles, among them a part for organ. These
three quintet/ensemble settings are fully compatible in all musical
respects. But of course all mixed performances will call for extra attention
to balance problems.

However this setting very well might be of interest in a plain horn quartet
context. There is the challenge of the two upper parts playing rhythmically
active parts over a Tenor (Playnsong) or cantus firmus solo in the lower
midrange and of a quite agile bass line in the last setting by J. S. Bach.
Again the 3 upper parts can be played on single horns, whereas the 4th horn
part must be played on a double horn or a 5 valve Bb horn as it descends to
written E in the pedal range of the Bb horn. The 1st horn does not exceed
the G on top of the staff.

No parts are provided, as reading from the 4 parts score is very much a
tradition in the performance of this type of music. This also allows for the
swapping of parts between the 5 settings and even between repeats.

This edition leaves matters like the sequence of the settings, the dynamics,
and the number of repetitions to the performers to be decided according to
the environment of the performance.

This edition can be used free of any charge, but as usually a mail or a
postcard reporting on readings and performances will be very welcome.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: recording rehearsals

2003-02-18 Thread J. Kosta
Perhaps the confusion is regarding the American (English?) idiom - 
"not on the same page"

In this instance I think that Steve meant that the musicians have minor
differences about phrasing, interpretation, etc. - not that the musicians
have big differences, or lack of ability.

Listening to a recording of the session might provide a better view of how
all the parts are performned than is possible while actually playing.

In any case, I really appreciate all of the constructive ideas and
suggestions regarding my original question about 'quintet metronome' - I
have read and saved them all, and will try using them. I have also found
that reading (not playing) the part and analyzing the rhythms has been much
more helpful to ME than sight-reading with the other players.
