[Hornlist] Re: The Buzzy Buzz video.
subject: [Hornlist] The Buzzy Buzz video. Interesting! I was curious about one thing; you appear to lick the mouthpiece before putting it to your lips. Why? Also, when you take the mouthpiece away from your mouth the pitch of your buzz drops. Is this relevant? Looking forward to more. Thanks.

Re: [Hornlist] Auf dem Thurmond
So, other than the facts that Strom Thurmond is no longer living, was from
South Carolina not West Virginia, and was not a member of the KKK, the original
identification of Senator Thurmond was perfectly accurate, right?

[Hornlist] Re: Auf dem ?
Richard W wrote: It's common among lieder singers to transpose songs to fit the range of the voice (it sometimes happens in opera, too, for singers with range issues). I've played "Auf dem Strom" in both the original key and in D. It can sometimes be more of a challenge to the pianist than the horn player, depending on the key. And Prof. Cabbage replied: I believe it is important to allow the singer be allowed to fit the song to the vocal range. I also believe that we should fit the piece to the skill level of the hornist and the pianist. I remember a performance in which I played in E, the singer sang in E flat, and the pianist played in C major. The audience was highly awed. And Prof. Hans clarified: Then you did not perform "Auf dem Strom" but "Unter Strom" by Polish composer Electry Stromski or "Ohne Stroemung", the famous piece by Swedish composer Viltransposer Angststroem ? Now, Prof. P., I have the utmostest of certainties that probably, maybe Prof. Cabbage gave a performance of "Auf dem John" or "Auf dem Throne" or perhaps the XXX versions, "Auf dem Schlong" or "Auf dem Throng" or "Auf dem Thong" from the sound (and smell) of it as this was genuinely three dimensional and I am not having even the slightestest amounts of any thinkings that the audience was not meerly awed but probably maybe "awed full" by the time it was over and if they liked that, then it just proves something, I guess, perhaps that transpositional variations are becoming further and farther apart along with everything else these days so it is better to really not let this go public so please keep a lied on it!!!

Re: [Hornlist] Auf dem Thurmond
Actually, Strom Thurmond was a senator from South Carolina who served in the US Senate for 43 years. He holds numeorus records such as: longest congressional filibuster(1957), and only senator to still be in Congress at age 100. Thurmond was the Dixiecrat party presidential canidate in 1948. For a time he held the record for longest term in the senate (43 years), but that was surpassed by Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Senator Byrd, Democrat from West Virginia, is the current member of the senate who was actually member of the Klu Klux Klan so, thus, the confusion from an earlier post. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Mike Placement for cd
Does anyone know the best place to put the mike when making a cd in a studio. The room is probably 15 X 20 with very good acoustics. What kind of microphone? What kind of accompaniment (if any)? What kind of music? Pretty much what Steve Haflich said. You can read my take (sorry) on making recordings at: http://www.ampexguy.com/horn/rectips/rectips.html I say it on the web page, but I'll repeat here for good measure, that I know there are other, generally more complicated and more expensive, ways to skin this cat. Beyond that, I think the French horn suffers more from close miking than most instruments. When the mikes are too close it just sounds too honky and blatty. Bottom line is to position the microphones so you (or the client) like the sound. Good luck. HT or the web site H.

Re: [Hornlist] Mike Placement for cd
If you really don't know what you're doing, do anything just to generate a new data point. By the time people around you figure out you don't know what you're doing, you WILL know what you're doing, unless, of course, you're just naturally stupid. Intuition is a very powerful tool as long as you've got some real experience to back it up. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 9:09 PM Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Mike Placement for cd From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know the best place to put the mike when making a cd in a studio. The room is probably 15 X 20 with very good acoustics. No, no one knows, except that the mike should probably be at the end of a cable with the other end plugged into the recording equipment. The person best able to answer your question is you yourself. Set up the equipment and make test recordings in a variety of configurations. You probably want the mike in front of the horn, the normal angle for listening, and you probably want it as far away as possible so long as the horn does not sound distant -- technically, that the ratio of direct to reverberated sound remains sufficiently large.
