[Hornlist] John Graas bonanza
Just got 6 CDs of John Graas related material on the Lonehill label. This seems to be an outfit operating out of Seville, Spain and the discs can be obtained from T.A.P. Music (some of them, at least) or try Amazon, which is how I located my copies. Caveat - the six CDs contain a certain amount of stuff that has pretty much no relation to JG. They have the entire Jazzlab and Jazz Studio series on them, including entire LPs devoted to other artists (happily, one of them is David Amram and his Amram-Barrow Quartet). All told, there seems to be at least 4 to 4 1/2 CDs worth of west coast horn jazz from the fifties and that is pretty cool (literally) in my book.

[Hornlist] Re: Horn quartet with band
Back in the sixties (before they changed the water), I used to play in a summertime community band in the park and the director (a Sansone 5-valve player himself) regularly programmed a piece called French Horn Frappe (accent aigu on the e) that was for 4 horns and band. I seem to recall the name David Bennett (spelling uncertain) at the top righthand corner. It was real easy, but fun, as I recall. Don't think I can tell you any more about this, but I'll bet that there are still ways to summon up the charts for this. Good luck, Peter Hirsch < < ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Dennis Brain's horn)
Conventional wisdom is that he started on Raoux-Milleraux (an authentic French horn, as it were, made in France) & then switched to a single horn in B-flat made by Gebr. Alexander. A photo of him wearing white tie & actually playing an Alexander Bb horn is the cover illustration on some of the Dennis Brain albums. -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. ~~~ At 10:17 PM 2/2/2006, you wrote: Does anyone know what kind of horn or horns Dennis Brain played?

I'm getting a Paxman. I have nothing against Paxman, but if your only complaint is that you have an "impossibly bright tone," try a mouthpiece with a deeper cup! (Unless you simply want a new horn. There's nothing wrong with that, either.) What would you think if you spent a bundle, then played your new Paxman with the mouthpiece you're accustomed to, and found *it* too bright as well? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Horn quartet with banned
Del S wrote Our community band is playing "The Four Hornsmen" this winter. We were wondering if there is any other music for horn quartet with band accompaniment that would be suitable for a group such as ours, (a basic amateur "I-haven't-played-since-high school" community group.) ** I joined one of these groups once. Unfortunately, they tossed me out after the first concert, since that meant I HAD played since high school. I didn't realize I was supposed to send a substitute to the concert, to keep my playing record clean. gotta go, cabbage ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Fingering chart Mellaphone
Use trumpet-cornet or TC baritone fingering chart for Eb mellophone. (When you ask for the trumpet-cornet or baritone fingering chart, don't tell anybody the real reason you want it.) For F mellophone, use the same fingering chart but play every note 1 step lower than written on the Eb parts.
