[Hornlist] Legendary hornist for an interview
If you could ask questions of any living horn legend, whom would it be? Hermann Baumann? Barry Tuckwell? What are the burning, pressing questions that you would just have to ask that person? -RD ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] What are your favorite recordings? Help requested!
Hi all, I'm preparing to do an online survey and need your help. I would like to find out what your favorite horn recordings are. When giving your answers (feel free to include as many as you'd like), please provide a minimum of information: 1) Artist(s) 2) Record label 3) Medium (LP, CD, etc) 4) Piece(s) So an example would be: Denis Brain playing Strauss II on CD from EMI. Any other information like "I get dizzy when the tutti horns come in at the end of the 3rd mvt." is also great. After I've put together a nice list of everybody's favorites I plan to do a HornRoller.com poll with them. Should be a fun exercise and perhaps a way to get introduced to some good recordings. cheers, Robert Douglass ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] French Horn Discussion Forum on HornRoller.com
Hi Everyone, First of all, thanks to everyone who has submitted events, images and stories to the HornRoller.com site! While it is great fun scouring the internet for interesting horn-related news, the best source will always be hornists themselves. I'm proud to announce that HornRoller.com has another cool feature to offer: discussion forums. The great advantage of having discussion forums hosted by HornRoller.com is the search-engine visiblity that they will get - in time, people searching for answers to horn playing questions will find what they are looking for in the discussion forums. Forums are simply a great way to have online discourse and to exchange ideas and information. Combined with the events calendar, image galleries and news section, the forums on HornRoller.com will become a central place to share resources. They support file uploads and the inclusion of images, which makes them more flexible than the simple text-based email lists. Furthermore, the material on the email lists doesn't get such great visibility in search engines and thus much of the information presented here gets hidden to seekers. In any case, a forum like the one on HornRoller.com can only become a vital and active meeting place if it achieves some initial momentum. That's where I have a ***special favor*** to ask of the people here; please visit the forums and posts new topics or add comments to the ones that exist. A good place to start would be for anyone who is attending the Western Illinois Horn Festival to report back on how it is going, who's playing what, what cool gear was for sale, and best of all, if there are any photos, to share them as well. You can visit the forum here: http://www.hornroller.com/french_horn_discussion_forum You'll need a user account to post, which you can get here: http://www.hornroller.com/user/register As you can tell from the brisk pace of development, HornRoller.com has some ambitions. There is a *huge* number of features on the "coming soon" list, many of which don't exist for horn players anywhere else on the internet. Stay tuned! cheers, Robert Douglass ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Couple of technical questions
Bill, I may be wildly wrong, but I'm not sure that there are a lot of technicians out there who apply methods scientific and accurate enough to keep up with the technical questions you asked in one of your first mails on the subject. I've seen many shops where replating the valves to fix supposed leaks involved nothing more than a bucket with the solution, an electric motor so that the valves could spin in the solution under a current, and some fine-grained sandpaper. In any case, you're not getting many technical answers to your technical questions. I wonder what the Lawsons would have to say? If I brought a horn in to a good technician, how would he measure it to determine it needs a valve job. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
I always stuck with the same mp when possible, but sometimes it doesn't make sense (like when playing on a descant horn, natural horn, baroque horn). In those cases it really pays to pick a mp that fits the horn. If I were just switching between double horns I'd always keep the same mp. -Robert ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] HornRoller.com - News for Hornists
PS. I'm covering the 2005 Northeast Horn Workshop in Purchase, NY; if you're planning on attending please take your camera and notepad so you can send me a full report after the event. I'm especially keen to get photos and earwitness accounts of Lowell Greer's hunting horn presentation. I'm hoping it'll bring back memories of when he used to play those things in the corridors of the University of Michigan School of Music (much to the chagrin of the other teachers, I'm sure). Thanks!
