For the moment I have to questions, one is the recommendation for fingering
on the Bb and F side of a double horn. He has an Alexander 103 double horn.
My advice is that your grandson become thoroughly familiar with the
fingerings of both sides of the horn, across the full range. That

Speaking of the USMC Band, some little known facts, of all the services
bands in DC, membership in the USMC Band does require the short vacation and
idyllic living of Basic Individual Training. Perhaps, one might argue, the
one truly intelligent thing the Marines have ever done.

Actually, the USMC band at 8th and I (otherwise known as the president's own)
is the only service band that does not require basic training as they are the
only marines that are not considered riflemen.

Many of the good classical trumpet players in Chicago travel with 4

Unless you wander into the realm of popular music, horn then means almost
anything you blow into clarinet, trombone or ever the s*x*ph*ne.
One the more interesting anecdotes I read on this list was of a horn player
who got a call from the Union Hall to go to a recording studio for a gig.

They needed horn players. He got paid without opening his case. They were
looking for S*x players, but ask for horn players.
Dear Hans,
Bryan, I am very sorry about your short sighted view. At age
nearly 66 and having worked as professional horn player (a

orchestras (40 years in one of the big ten !)

Bryan, I took you up on the suggestion to listen to the samples on
amazon.com - sounds very nice, indeed. Do you know enough about the tubas
used that you'd care to provide a primer on different sizes of tuba, and
then which were used in this recording? I confess I know next to nothing
about the
If you can't find this recording, try The World of Sousa Marches on
the London/Decca label (443-392-2) with the Philip Jones Brass
Ensemble and the Band of H.M. Grenadier Guards. You won't need any

Hi
Don't forget that Sousa started out writing marches for marching--USMC, I
believe. Our band director tells the story, perhaps apocryphal, that when Sousa

first piece, he got enthusiastic applause. Then someone
Yes, it does thicken the sound. I have the recording and I do enjoy it, but I
prefer the Evening Prayer as composed. It is open and transparent (whatever
that means). Our tastes vary. Vive la difference!

But I never could understand why ...snip... (nor why you call a wind
quintet a woodwind quintet, even though only a quartet of the five
are woodwind).
