Re: [Hornlist] Gershwin (was Re: for no one)
George, I saw your note about the Gershwin arrangement this morning. I might mention that you hit the button to include all of the submissions about the subject, and that is discouraged, as it takes up more space. There is also a Horn Digest, which works in tandem with the list. They have some problems on that one by people who include all of the previous material in their submissions. By the way I was at the Tallahassee meet, as was Bruce, and I do remember that performance. How did you get that harp player down in Tallahassee? Hope to see you this evening.

Re: [Hornlist] Language
Yes, I remember Dizzy and his brother, Daffy Dean very well with the St. Louis Cardinals, and later when Dizzy tried to be a sports announcer. The current use of the redundant where it's at phrase reminds me of my mother's reaction each time she heard anyone use it. I think the sports announcers are the most guilty ones who are in a position to influence sloppy English.

Re: [Hornlist] re: why not piston valves?
During World War II many silver plated single F horns with piston valves were made for the US forces. I suffered with one, which I used only when we were marching, and saved my old personal 6D for the inside work. It is so long ago that I don't remember who made it, but I think it was probably a King.

Re: [Hornlist] re: why not piston valves?
No Carlberg, I had no use for the Eb crook! When I was in the 7th grade our band director took away all of the Eb crooks and we were transposing Eb parts well within a month. Regarding piston valves you are probably correct as nearly all rotary valves assemblies were coming from Germany at that time. That included the early Conn doubles, which used rotary valves except for the change valve, which was a piston.

Re: [Hornlist] Horn/Brass in China
There were several articles in the Horn Call by Paul Chen about Horn Playing in China from the early 30's or so. It would probably have been in issues during 1998 or 99. I don't have access to those at the immediate present. A number of European players were playing horn in those years in Shanghai and Beijing.

Re: [Hornlist] Mellophones
Mellophones during the early jazz years were sometimes called ballad horns, as they were used somewhat like a fluegel horn might be used today. Even in WW II military bands often used mellophones as it was easy to put a trumpet player on one. I was just looking at a photo dated April, 1943, of the 250th Army Band stationed in Kodiak, AK with four mellophones for the horn section. I don't know if they marched with them in Kodiak or not. Must have been pretty chilly there! Pete Exline ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Beginning Methods
Hi Paul, Your message about the olden days was fun. How familiar it all sounded. My 7th grade band had eight horns in the section. One was an old double Conn Schmidt model with a piston change valve. Mine was a Conn 4D, one was a Pan American single F, and the others were a mixture of rain catchers and mellophones. We also had a 65 piece orchestra. The director took away from any of the horn players, the Eb crooks, so we would learn to transpose the Eb parts, which were in the majority in those days Within a month or so we were all transposing the Eb parts with no problems. By high school time doubles were dominating and we were all on the way to be virtuosos(i). It was a great time and the spring solo contests were great adventures. About 1937 (I think) the nation was divided into regions and the solo contests were in three stages. There was the district, the winners of whom went to the state. The state winners were eligble for the national-regionals. There were other competitions around the country including the Tri-State Festival in Enid, OK, which began in 1935 and continues even today. Well Paul, we grew up with it and it has been a great ride! Pete Exline ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
