RE: [Hornlist] Mason Jones Passes
I would like to relay a story I heard from Fred Hinger who was a percussionist in Philly during Mr. Jones' tenure. I met Fred when he was at the Met circa 1968 while he was residing in an apartment building where I worked just after High School. Here it goes: When they were recording, if Mason heard something he didn't like in the Horn section, he would kick over his stand which would of course force them to start over. It wasn't clear if this was a onetime occurrence or multiple. Kendall perhaps you validate this story. I hope it is true. I loved it as it you can see it stayed with me for 40 years.

[Hornlist] Jerry Ashby
Peter and all listers, I have pasted below a message I received from Greg Williams Joe, Steve; I don't know Peter's address. You might want to forward this to him. I got back at 3am last night after hanging with a bunch of horn players that had come, literally, from near and from very far to see Jerome off. The service is this morning in a couple of hours (10am 12/29). We were up so late because for many years these same guys and I used to do the same thing with Jerome the hangmeister. Without him is something I never really contemplated because, like Peter and me and so many others, I truly wanted to believe he had finally beat the cancer when he had been back and playing with the section for a while I was also blind-sided to suddenly hear that he was gone. I just knew it was a mistake. I didn't know how I was going to deal with the emotion of seeing his large and close-knit family - but guess what!? Both sides of Jerome's family are infused with that same upbeat, loving and in the end accepting attitude. From his mother, who I met for the first time, to his cousins, to Patricia's family to the children and grandchild (Jerome Ashby - percussion) they are all sad but accepting of his passing because he somehow accepted it. He was at home with his loved ones and he passed in his sleep with a smile on his face(!) This guy was amazing even then. In the end the sadness was overshadowed by memories of his humor, his love for family and friends, his modesty and most of all the tremendous "something" he had that made you, no matter who you were, how many or few times you had met him, feel like you had a real friend in him. You never forgot him. When I got to the chapel I admit to being very uptight at the idea of possibly "loosing it" in front of so many people I didn't know. I sat alone for awhile trying to collect myself when his daughter, Violeta, came over to say hi and set me at ease. She then began introducing me and guess what? by the time I left there wasn't anyone I hadn't met and the evening, although sad, was spent with much laughter and reminiscences. His daughters and wife were consoling us! His kids got a kick out of stories we told them about "Popi" before he even knew their mother. They loved hearing about how he lived and how he reacted when he first met Patricia. I could see how much these stories meant to them and it felt so good to remember them with the girls and us guys that had spent those early years with him. In the end please remember that there are still a bunch of the Ashby family and they are all a treat to be around. In the end, though, Dec. 26th. 2007 changed my world and very likely changed everyone else's.

But as a veteran of DCI, and a professional horn player, I know from first hand experience that some kids find their love of music through the back streets of marching band/drum corps. It's not an invalid way. However, it's also VERY important that it not be the only way. That's the problem music faces in this country. It's such an easily justifiable reason to spare music in a time of 'No Child Left Empowered' and teaching to the test(s). Marching band also is perhaps the only substitute for PE - which in many districts was a casualty of budgets and testing a long time ago. Marching band and drum corps - the next best thing to not doing music at all. And for those who discover a love of music - it's but the first step. All necessary books (ie: Kopprasch) are available via web sales - and qualified teachers who can guide interested students further are out there in all but the smallest of towns. Even a fine trumpeter can - assuming a good dose of humility - guide a young horn player to basic competence. For those with interest, Google Drum Corps International and hear some of the fine brass playing that's going on in the best groups these days.

The primary goal of this design is to have an constant bore size through out the entire horn. Never having a crimp or pinch anywhere throughout the horn. Current horn designs rotary valve clusters are a massive row of crimped passages. So I set out to design a valve that would maintain a bore size when straight through and when diverting its air through the valve slide. I used 3D modeling software to mock up the horn. I haven't modeled it exactly correct, due to my limitations with the software. So the tubing lengths for the F and Bb side are guesstimates. And I haven't included a thumb lever. But the main gist of the design is there. I would be interested to hear your comments. I realize that this design could result in a heavy horn. I am planning on experimenting with alloys to decrease the weight of the valves. I also haven't modeled the valves exactly as they would be ( again due to lack of modeling ability ), I have a few different ideas of how to construct the valves. Pics of the design are in the Photo section of the Yahoo group. http://f9g.yahoofs.com/groups/g_153230/fce0/__sr_/f044.jpg?g rA.hzGBhuEjY13g http://f9g.yahoofs.com/groups/g_153230/fce0/__sr_/6ee7.jpg?g rA.hzGBSTSJkH5q http://f9g.yahoofs.com/groups/g_153230/fce0/__sr_/6751.jpg?g rA.hzGBa_rZiQCa Thanks, James Moody friends.

So I must give "props" to the conductor of my rinky dink community orchestra who is always telling us to blend or asking us to lower the volume (especially when we do an opera - "if the singers are singing play softer"). The players around me complain about him, but he has certainly made me a better musician. Regards, Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hans Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 2:47 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] On edge Hello Dottore, May I add a few cts too: Many or a majority of "musicians" special in the amateur community or semi professional in regional orchestras are not aware, that all dynamics in a piece of music are relative each other, even exaggerated by the composers (as you said). Wagner was one of these composers, who had a relatively small orchestra regarding the strings, often just 8 first violins. These became "hell fiddlers" & played as if were fighting for their survival. The horns had a very bad time then as they used single horns & some natural horns, which could not produce the required strength. So they joined the strings in loudness. This worked out like a devil´s circle, right. So the number of string players became bigger up to 16 first, the horns followed with the bigger resonance of the double horn, the wider bore, the wider bells etc. And the devils circle of disgusting dynamics worked again, number of horns be augmented again, assistant added to the first. No change, devils circle working again. But what is the main source for that ? THE TASTELESS SELFISHNESS OF PLAYERS & CONDUCTORS. Instead of integrating oneself into a certain organism, everybody attempts to play in a way TO BE HEARD. This is not important at all. SERVING to the COMPOSER, that is our target. PARTICIPATION on a REPRODUCTION is very satisfying, even very few realize that. Most others do not believe that. So it becomes quite uninteresting to listen to orchestras besides the very few big & high class orchestras. === -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 6:38 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] On edge Jeremy C complained: It's not just a horn thing. I find all too frequently that all I do anymore is blast. I don't want to, but to balance with the ever-loudening orchestra, it seems a necessity. Playing a Mozart concerto recently, the violins were so loud and aggressive - as if they were playing Mahler, just to allow the delicate horn lines to carry with the strings we had to easily bring the piano passages up to mezzo forte or louder. In another ensemble during a recent performance of Dvorak's New World, the bones and trumpets were SO loud and splatty, for us (horns) to blend, we had to play as loud as humanly possible - the section was principal and 3rd 8Ds, myself on a Lawson Fourier, and 4th on a 867. We were simply exhausted and couldn't be effective through the rest of the concert. In general, orchestras are forcing themselves louder and it's getting damned annoying. ** This problem arises because modern orchestral musicians are often unaware of the historical basis of musical practice. it is well known, for example, that players in Russian orchestras during the late nineteenth century preferred to play pianissimo or piano most of the time. Tchaikowsky discovered that the only way he could get them to play at a mezzo piano level was to write ff or fff in the score. Modern players often spoil these passages by playing them very loud, unaware that Tchaikowsky actually intended for them to be played mp. Luckily, there has been a recent revival of authentic music performance techniques, and one can now purchase recordings of Tchaikowsky's works embodying the subdued, delicate, refined style he preferred.

RE: [Hornlist] Hans Hoyer DK121
Jinn, On a business trip to Singapore last year I somehow damaged my screw rim. I contacted Jaime Hersch who is Associate Principal for the SSO. He put me in touch with his repairman. While I was at his shop, I noticed he had a Hans Hoyer and was a DK121. I asked him about it and here is what he has to say: 1) Not really sure when the horn was made, but I am quite sure it is not more than 4 years ago. 2) As the DK 121 is a medium throat horn, it is a "smaller" sound horn if compared to a 6801 or a 7801. Very suitable for a chamber style of playing. 5801 is a very nice horn, but got some intonation issue. 3) Because it is a very new horn, it is still not very popular. The design of the horn is a Geyer-Knoft design, which means the valve for the Bb & F side is at 120 degrees apart, instead of the 90 degrees difference. This means that the difference between the F & Bb side is much closer, so when you change from Bb to F or vice versa, the "feel" is closer. Intonation for the horn is very good too! The only minus side is that the saliva tends to get trapped in the horn, so you need to turn your horn a few rounds to completely clear the saliva. Also I feel that the horn is not very structurally strong, as it only has 3 braces between the bell and the main valve section! Other than that, it is really a good horn. For any horn players who buy a new Hoyer horn, please check the receiver for the mouthpiece. The taper is usually wrong as they are using a European taper! You can check this by putting your mouthpiece inside. If it shakes, the taper is wrong. I would suggest that a new Hoyer be sent to a repair shop to re-shape the taper so that the mouthpiece can seat properly! This is very important!

[Hornlist] BBC Proms
Last week I came across a listing for BBC Proms on my Guide for the DiscoveryHD channel. I set it up to record yesterday morning and just finished watching it. The title was actually BBC Prom 2002. Looking at the faces of the orchestra I did a little web surfing to find out the ages of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain is between 13-19. They performed Mahler's 8th under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle (now leading Berlin Philharmonic). Very impressive. If you get DiscoveryHD you will surely want to set up the series link on your DVR.

It's not just the sports announcers. Listen to the local broadcast news
in any market. It's full of disjunct phrases, colloquialisms,
redundancies, and dumbed down vocabulary and grammar. They use trendy
mispronunciations ("tore instead of "tour" and "holloween" instead of
"halloween" come quickly to mind) What's worse, I'm not sure the
practitioners even know that they are doing anything wrong. They are
probably have been taught to be broadcasters rather than writers and
think they are just making language "relevant".
Remember when Dizzy Dean got into trouble for "slud"? Times have
certainly changed.

RE: [Hornlist] Airline Travel Blues
After reading all the posts about travel, I am grateful for 2 things. I have a detachable bell and have Elite status on One World and Northwest Worldperks (which is also honored by KLM and Continental that allows me to board early. On my recent 2 week trip through Asia, when I arrived in Singapore I couldn't screw on my bell. In transit, I wound up getting a small bend on the ring. Just enough that it wouldn't attach. I immediately got in touch with Jamie Hersch who is Associate Principal at the SSO and asked him for the name of his repair person. The next day I went to see him and he successfully repaired the ring. While I was at his shop I noticed a horn in a case on the floor. Turned out it was his. The horn was in a case that was much more durable and protective than what I was using. After questioning where he got it, he showed me several more that he was selling. Needless to say, I purchased one. He is selling them at a cost of SGD168 (about USD110). The case is made by Ortola (Spain) http://www.ortola-sa.es/ and apparently they make the case for Willson Horns (it does have Willson embroidered on the side).

Of course the gig bag is always over the right shoulder while the attendant is on the left. A half turn insures that the horn is completely out of her line of vision. Once you are past that and to the plane, you must fight off another group of eager attendants ready to greet you with a "hello" and a "sorry you need to check that". Once again use the right shoulder and turn technique.

RE: [Hornlist] Multiple Different Mouthpieces-Good or Bad?
Hi Rachel, or should I say G'day, When I received this message I immediately thought you were up late and then I remembered you are on the west coast. I'm not up late, I wound up in Sydney this week and last on business. Tried to connect with a horn player here but did not have any luck. So I just played in my room with my silent mute. I'm glad you posted your experience about the mouthpiece change. I was trying out several different mouthpieces and thought about my C1 for when I play 2nd or 4th and something like a S16 for higher parts. But what I experienced is that it didn't help me much. So I'm just going to stick with my C1 that I played in high school (not the same one, I did buy a new one from Giardinelli - unfortunately not the same Giardinelli I knew on 48th street.

My vote: *bad* I cannot recommend any hornist use multiple different mouthpieces at the same rehearsal/performance or even within hours/days of each other-except if the person is a mouthpiece maker or testing many varieties before purchasing. The serendipitous occasion: _ After I forgot my Giardinelli C8 at home before a dress rehearsal, another hornist in the section lent me an extra. This mouthpiece worked immediately, and so well that I gave the guy 50 dollars for it after rehearsal and sold the C8 to someone else (also for 50 dollars). The hypothesis: _ A hornist should not have to adjust the embouchure to fit to a piece of metal, the same way that person would not cut a portion of a foot off to fit into a too-small shoe. When a hornist tells me something like: "I am waiting to get used to my new mouthpiece", this is quite alarming. The shoe has to fit the first time around. If it is leather, and too small, there is a bit of leeway for the leather to stretch and mold itself to the shape of the foot. Looking at this in reverse, one could assume that the embouchure changes, as leather would, to fit the mouthpiece. When a hornist uses multiple and different mouthpieces, one could assume the embouchure adjusts a differently, one time for each different mouthpiece. Each change could be visualized as usage of separate muscle groups in the embouchure-more or less simultaneously. The consequences: _ Unawares, I was using two different mouthpieces at a gig (horn and Wagner tuba-one for each in order to facilitate the fast instrument swaps). It only took four days of rehearsal for my embouchure to collapse. Fortunately the concert was still several days away. Another hornist in the group was able to correctly diagnose the problem. He suggested that I pick one of the two mouthpieces and stick with it. Along with remedial exercises, the move to a single mouthpiece did the trick. My embouchure recovered a few days before concert time.

It's do, re, mi, fa, sol (not "sew"), la, si, do. Funny they translated the "flat" but not the "si". Good to know the words for sharp, flat, and natural. In most latinate languages and even many non-latinate languages around the world, "bemol" or similar means flat, "diez" or similar means sharp, and "becarre" means natural.

RE: [Hornlist] Low-High Horn Playing stuff!!
Pat, I too played in Drum Corps (Thunderbirds, Statenaires and St. Rocco's) but not quite as long as you, only about 10 years. I guess what helped me is I got out before going to Seniors. At 17 I was able to eliminate some of the bad habits that were evident from playing an instrument without the proper training. About 15 years later, I lost about 20 years of playing to some foolish thing called making a living. But when I got back to playing I almost had to start from scratch. I noticed too that my mid to high range was still there but my low register was worse than where I left it. I own the CDRom library and what I will do from time to time is print the 2nd or 4th parts (of course depending upon the piece) and play along with the CD. I know it's not very professional, but it helps me for what I want to do and at this point in my life is just to have fun playing again.

Last night I was handed Horn 4 on Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man." My part opens with the figure F-C-F which also happens several more times. (First space F, 3rd space C, top line F.) The rhythm is two sixteenth and an eighth tied to a longer note, in a fairly slow tempo (quarter is about 50) but it's still pretty quick for me as a novice horn player. The "by the book" fingering for me, because I usually switch starting with C# or D, would be to F1, F0, T0 but the figure seems so natural-horn-like that changing fingerings for every note just seemed wrong. F1, T0, T0 is better, but T0 for all three notes is what I've settled on. I hope this a good example of "contextual" fingering - I usually play both the first two notes on the F side but here it doesn't seem right. I would, if I could, try all three notes as F1, but I think that is much riskier because it's harmonics 6, 9, 12 versus 4, 6, 8 on the Bb horn.

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Current Conn 8Ds
Howard, I can't agree more. About three years ago I was getting back to playing after a 20 hiatus. I was thinking of purchasing a new horn. A friend from High School who is playing professionally in Florida steered me away from a new purchase. One horn I was looking at was one of the Yamahas. I was quickly advised not to do it. He quoted a player in NYPhil from the 70's who will remain anonymous who called it a "tin can". But of course that was back then. Anyway, he convinced me to keep what I had and get a complete overhaul done on it - which I did. What I have is an 8D that I purchased while in High School from Bob Giardinelli in 1967. I estimate it was made circa 1959 as the serial number is E36055 (Bob, did your guys have any idea when they did the overhaul?). As I don't play professionally, it was good advice. Playing a few times a week, I only need 1 horn and my 8D does it for me.

One thing that the airport left with me is my little jar of anhydrous

orchestra can play the piece. Will they make you erase all the marks you

While still in HS I was introduced to the Pottag Book I Orchestral excerpts. I was not playing in an orchestra, but I was tickled pink to get these solo horn parts and start trying to do some Beethoven, Brahms, Berlioz, and Wagner excerpts I had heard on recordings. So I began figuring out that classic transposition is quite easy. And I was 15 years old at the time. A pencil is necessary equipment for rehearsals and I use one frequently. But I never had to write in an A for a C in D horn but once or twice until I saw that all the C's in D horn were concert D/s, without exception. That was Hans's point.
