[Hornlist] Unusual Response
With regard to the trombone, euphonium, etc. thread... If using a large inner diameter mouthpiece (i.e. trombone) builds lip strength, forces one to use the mouthpiece less as a crutch, use air properly, etc., then why don't more horn players use larger ID mouthpieces? In the UK there are a number of hornists who use and / or recommend large ID mouthpieces (even larger than the 17.5 mm recommended by Prof Pizka) for the full range of the horn. Why are horn mouthpiece IDs so small? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Quintet Music
I've been recording a brass quintet for the past couple months with the primary purpose being that the lead trumpet player recording his arrangements for brass quintet. The arrangements have been quite good. They range in difficulty from moderate to fairly difficult but overall are leaps and bounds above the average quintet writing. (and the prices are reasonable too..) The arranger's site is: http://www.trumpetunes.com/publications.html FYI - I have no affiliation with this site or the arranger. I've just been doing his recordings. I'm sure if he approves it, I can release some mp3 samples. Cheers- Jeremy Quoting Ashley Grothe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: A friend of mine is leading a brass quintet in our school. We are looking for some music and don't really know where to head. I really want to do a jazzy piece. Also, if anyone knows where to get Rakes of Mallow that would be exciting (especially if it comes in quintet form!) If anyone has any recommendations of where to look or of pieces to try I'd really appreciate it. _ Enjoy 5 GB of free, password-protected online storage. http://www.windowslive.com/skydrive/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_skydrive_062008___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/jeremy%40sublymerecords.com ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Eric Whitacre - Sleep
I wasn't able to figure out how to hear the wind ens. recording, but did listen to the vocal recording. Their tempo is good to maybe a tad slow for their performance. I have sung this piece with a couple different choirs (one of about 35 singers, one of 20). My take on the tempo is that it should be as slow as you can play/ sing and still maintain sense of line/ motion (it's about falling asleep, not about already being there... ; p ) Kjellrun On 16-Jun-08, at 10:49 AM, Tim Kecherson wrote: Hello.

RE: [Hornlist] Quintet Music
I bought a collection put out by the Canadian Brass and was very pleased. It was inexpensive (I think the conductor's score was $12 and the parts were $6 each). I believe they have collections for different levels - I bought an Intermediate level collection. You can try this link to get your started at one online place http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_brassquintet.html?id=288755 This is where I've ended up buying most of my music online lately. Here's a link to the collection I bought directly: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_detail.html?item=3198458&id=288755 This is "wedding" music but we used it for a college graduation ceremony and it was great - not too hard, perfect since we did the gig with no rehearsal and were all therefore sight-reading. Disclaimer - the "id=" is an affiliate ID I have with this place, which means they pay me a small commission on music you purchase via the above links. The links work equally well without that last part. Hope that's helpful to you. -S- > -Original Message- > From: Ashley Grothe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 10:05 AM > To: The Horn List > Subject: [Hornlist] Quintet Music > > A friend of mine is leading a brass quintet in our school.

Hi Ashley, Try the Robert King collection. The last time I checked, they had over 25,000 titles.

RE: [Hornlist] Quintet Music
Try going to www.jwpepper.com. They have a lot of good music. Also, you can ask your teacher where the school gets their music from. -- Tim > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:04:38 -0400 > To: horn@music.memphis.edu > Subject: [Hornlist] Quintet Music > > A friend of mine is leading a brass quintet in our school.
