[Hornlist] Season's Greetings!
Hello, Everyone. I hope all of my Jewish Friends have had a wonderful and reverent Chanukkah, and that the Christians will have had a Merry Christmas. I have been writing my huge "First Symphony", which I hope will total over an hour long, when all 4 movements are done. It uses the usual "Wood- winds in 3's", plus 6 Horns, 3 Trumpets, Tuba, Euphonium, 4 Timpani, 3 Percussionists, Harp and Strings. It is also somewhat of a Concerto for Orchestra, as I am deliberately giving Solos to EVERY wind player (including Second Chair Players), each string section, etc. I finished the 29- minute Moderato First Movement in May 2006. A 4-bar Horn Call Motive, an 8-bar Horn Melody, and several 6-Horn Choir passages carry the move- ment, and it already has Solos for most of the other wind instruments and string sections. (The "Horn Motive" and "Horn Melody" ARE 2 of the Main Themes in the First Movement, but I only gave Long Solos to Horns 1, 3 and 5, so far in the long First Movement. Horns 2, 4 and 6 are my Lower Ranged Horns, and whereas I gave them some shorter solos in the Fast Second Movement, I still owe them Long Solos in the 3rd and 4th Movements, which I have not yet written.) At the moment I am in the last few pages of writing the Fast Second Movement, which brings it to 11 1/2 minutes, with about another minute to go. It is an ABA Form, with the two "A" Sections being like loud, rowdy, barbaric Percussion Concerti. The "B" Section is a 3-minute long, happy-go-lucky "Perpetual Motion Piece" as well as being the world's longest "Retrograde-Inversion Canon". I have plans to write schmaltzy melodies, featuring the Strings in the Slow Third Movement, and the Fourth Movement will be the World Premiere of the Thirteenth Category of New Fugue that I have Invented. Other than this, my time is preoccupied by health problems. In the last few years I've had hundreds of Diabetic Black-Outs. In October 2005 I started using "Byetta", which is a new medicine that slows down and stabilizes the liver and pancreas in Diabetics. It stopped all my Diabetic Black-Outs for 9 months, but since July 2006 they been back at the same frequency as before. Each one causes me to go unconscious for several hours of near- death Shock from Low Blood Sugar Levels, and the second day when I wake up, I have no memory of the Unconscious Day at all. (There was one earlier today, and two yesterday.) I wanted to send this message yesterday, but I was a little busy. All the best to all of you!

Re: [Hornlist] What the heck! Prof. G, where is the Annual poem, A Visit from St
NOW, NOW, NOW, Walt, you have all been the mostestest of good little hornies this year so here it is: A VISIT FROM SAINT DENNIS By Prof. I.M. Gestopftmitscheist Twas the night before Kopprasch, when all through the house Not a hornist was playing, not even some Strauss; The Holtons were packed in their cases with care, In hopes that St. Dennis soon would be there. The students were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of symphony jobs danced in their heads; Completing financial aid forms was driving Mamma and me insane, As scholarships for Junior and Sis were not going to be attained. With auditions looming for college and schools, These two "musicians" were acting like fools. Playing only solos, excerpts, and such, Their playing was not to be considered, much. When out on the lawn there arose such a sound, I sprang from the desk like a deer on a bound! Away to the window, I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash! The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a gigantic sleigh and eight great-big reindeer! A distinguished man had his hand on the rein, I new in a moment that it surely was St. Brain. More rapid than Al Cass his coursers they came, And he free buzzed, and shouted, and called them by name: Now, Alex! now Kruspe! now Conn and Holton! On, Yamaha! on Geyer! on, Schmid and Lawson! To the top of the range! to the pedal notes fall! Now play away! play away! play away all! As great horn players can do "on the fly," When they meet with an excerpt, mount to the sky, So up to the roof-top the coursers they flew, With a sleigh full of music, and St. Dennis too. And then, in an eighth note, I heard on the roof The puffing and blowing of each little toot. As I drew in my head, and was futzing around, Down the chimney came St. Dennis, ready to sound. He was dressed in his tails, and patent leather shoes, And he then said to me, "In a minute, great news!" A bundle of music he had flung on his back, And in his right hand, a Brazilian made pack. I stared at his face, and his eyes were afire, and I knew in his life, there was only one desire, to take out a horn and play it so well, that the rest of us mortals could just "go to hell!" He opened the gig bag and picked up his horn, like I knew he had done since the day he was born. He then played the Siegfried with nary a clam, and all I could think of was "hot damn!" And this great performance had awakened the kids, Who came in a'running, and put on the skids. They were all shaken, scared, and bewildered of that Since the only horn playing they ever did sounded like crap. He then played "Till Eulenspiegel" with nary a crack, And all with perfect rhythm, dynamics and attack. His beautiful tone was simply amazing, Not to mention his incredible phrasing. The kids starting yelling, "HOW CAN WE DO THAT?" "WE'LL NEVER SUCCEED IF WE PLAY LIKE CRAP!" And then St. Dennis said, "Please, don't despair. There is a remedy for all problems, so there." "My instructions, now, you should perfectly heed, If you really ever, ever want to succeed." St. Dennis then reached down into his sack, And pulled out some music and handed it back. "There are five fundamentals to playing horn well, Without support for you air, your playing will smell. A strong embouchure gives you right notes and range, Good articulation keeps things from sounding strange." "You need perfect rhythm, and a very good ear, As sight reading skills help to give you no fear! Put it all together and what have you got? Why, great playing, for sure, and crap it is not!" "So practice these studies, numbers one through sixty. Until you have assuredness and consistency. This time you invest is always well spent, Especially when you must perform at any event." "Your excerpts and solos will go like the wind, Since you know all the techniques to employ within. A tricky passage is now in your grasp, Since you have practiced and practiced: KOPPRASCH!!!" With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head, "I've got others to tell, tonight," he said. And then with his horn and his music in hand, Up the chimney he went, fast as fast can. He sprang to his sleigh and buzzed to his team, Away they all flew, as if in a dream. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "HAPPY KOPPRASCH TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"

[Hornlist] What the heck! Prof. G, where is the Annual poem, A Visit from St. Dennis?
I am truly crushed! Here I've been waiting by my computer with valve oil to oil the valves of my Alex, and Kopprasch Book on my music stand turned to Kopprasch #1 awaiting the annual visit from St. Dennis. Have we all been bad hornists this year? Too many clams? Not enough practicing Kopprasch #1? Too much bickering about Kruspe or Geyer wraps or bashing the valves on Holton horns? I had planned on reading it to my colleagues at my Xmas eve gig in a couple of hours, to get us in a festive mood, Alas, I guess we've been bad hornists this year, so we'll have to work harder next year.

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Happy Holidays
It was true. By the way, the song is from Austria. Nowadays
all X-mas songs are commercialised & sung after Easter -
shortly - just a joke but not far from the truth. I bet, it
does not take long & we will see all these chocolate eggs in
the windows.
Business as usual.

RE: [Hornlist] Happy Holidays
They celebrate X-mas just with Bikini, Santa beard & jelly-bag-cap, giant crystal X-mas fir & candles as everywhere. It is a big sale event, nothing left from the original spirit, be it Christian or old nordic Jul. Jingele-belle-jongele-belle & kitsch Holy Night; but people feed themselves fat like pigs & drink like a squadron of mercenaries. This in regards of our countrymen holidaying there. But, perhaps, the local people, if they are Christian & modest to poor, well, they might celebrate Christmas as it was intended to be, an intimate religious family celebration, going to the mid night mass in the small community church. I do speak for one country around the equator, where I have been right until few days ago & haver been there the same period two years ago. But they celebrate very modestly in Thailand, except at the crowded tourist places - to avoid anyway. But I can imagine, singles travelling to these destinations, will enjoy X-mas on the beach, at the restaurants or in the mas parlors. (Oooops) Mai-pen-arai, sanug-sanug. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Canarutto Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 3:14 PM To: The Horn List Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Happy Holidays >Coincidentally, X-mas falls near to the calendarian end of the year, >even nearer to the solstice, which might give it a reason for >not-Christians also to celebrate, that days are getting longer again, >but it is opposite at the other >(dawn) side of the globe, where they celebrate, that it is getting >cooler again.

Of Christmas in different climes, Even Irving Berlin, in the opening to "White Christmas" had a little fun with the subject, The sun is shining The grass is green The orange and palm trees sway. I've never seen such a day In Beverly Hills LA. But it's December the 24th And I am longing to be up North.
