[Hornlist] Re: Case Question
There are indeed MANY other cheaper brands of cases out there. and I am using the term 'cheaper' in most of it's meanings. Perhaps you will save a couple hundred dollars by purchasing a less expensive case, but remember that the other cases do NOT fit in the overhead compartments of the planes, nor do they fulfill the size requirements set by the Airlines Industry. So, that couple hundred dollars in savings will quickly be gone the moment you have to check your case as luggage and the horn becomes damaged. Also, remember that you may keep a horn case for well over 10 years. - so the price difference becomes negligible over time. For those of you who think that I am saying this simply because I sell Bonna cases - remember, that I also sell BAGS cases (the make of the Thompson Edition cases) and other assorted brands. I truly believe that the Bonna cases are, by far, the best designed horn cases on the market. So, as a repair technician I say. 'go ahead, buy the cheap case!', as a player I say, 'you get what you pay for'.

RE: [Hornlist] Humperdink Evening Prayer from Hansel Und Gretal
For example, while I dislike playing Sousa intensely, I have yet to hear a symphony orchestra do justice to a Sousa march, which should make your feet want to march. Only a band gives it the right character. I'm not familiar with these marches, maybe they are not so frequently played in this part of the world. However I once heard, in a local classical music radio broadcasting, a Sousa march called Washington Post (or something like that), played by the NY Philharmonic conducted by Bernstein. I did find that it was... how do you say... terrific! (It was a program about Bernstein.)

I'll go a step further and say that unless you have spent time in a Marine Corps field band you likely don't have the feel for the flavor of Sousa...not unlike how our beloved Herr Professor feels about Austro-Bohemian horn music. I'm not by any means stating the USMC has the world's greatest music program but everyone has their niche-and they don't do Kenneth Alford or Karl King that bad either. Right Gary? That said, Sousa operettas are a different matter and can be quite nice fluff.

Re: [Hornlist] Fingering
My horn, a Paxman model GT, is a CBA+ single horn with an F extension valve. Generally I play it in C all the time. Interestingly it makes the alternate fingerings for pitches below C (second space in the bass clef) more in tune than the Sansone fingerings for the B flat horn for the same pitches. Because the A+ valve can be set to a half step, it makes playing in 6 and 7 flats easy on the C horn, and 6 or 6 sharps easy on the B flat horn. Great for pit work. The sound has the same brightness as the B flat horn, but is easy to play on long endurance shows. Just finished a 30 show run of Oliver which consisted of two hours and ten minutes of playing plus a 15 minute intermission. Was able to survive even at my age (73).

[Hornlist] orchestral Sousa
Steve wrote: That is on interesting thought, considering that Sousa's band almost never marched... they played his toe-tapping make you want to march marches in concert settings where no one (band or audience) would be marching. - Many of Sousa's marches were indeed composed later in his career after he left the Corps but by no means all. Sousa was in and head of the President's Owns for many years and though they don't march in the same sense a field band does they do (did) indeed perform marching ceremonies and certainly did under Sousa's directorship. During WWI Sousa tried to regain his position in the President's Own but the best he could do was get an appointment at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Much of the work he did there was also ceremonial and marching in nature. Blah blah blah...all this is to say that even if a third of Sousa's career was non-military in nature he would certainly have known the gig-Manhattan Beach for example. Other Sousa Band era greats would be Looking Upward and La Reine de la Mer and The Bride Elect. Of course as a final point like most all of the band leaders of his time-Clarke and Kryl etc-Sousa didn't like to write out his arrangements the way he intended them played for fear that some other band would steal his tunes and gimmicks. Much of playing Sousa properly has to do with the performance practices passed down by word of mouth or experience. My current favorite interpreters of recording are Keith Brion, Col Bourgeois, Donald Hunsberger, and on a few occasions even Tim Foley. More than anyone wanted to know.
