We're playing some medley from "How to Train Your Dragon" so I looked up the soundtrack for a listen and it turns out more than half of our piece is lifted from the track "This Is Berk" and now I'm keeping it on in the background waiting for those really triumphant figures the clarinets have going on towards the end.

The soundtrack has its own wikipedia entry and I can now share that the score was written for 12 french horns and 6 trombones and I'd say that suffice plenty for taking home an Oscar

Why do flutes tend to go sharp on high notes and clarinets tend to go flat on high notes?

#flute #clarinet #music #woodwind #woodwinds #my friend finds his high notes always go flat which is odd since mine go sharp so it must be a different-instrument thing #anybody know???

I think it's super cool that you play the bass clarinet because my googness it sounds so nice if I didn't pick up the bassoon I would've done bass clarinet

Something I've wanted to know about it though

Is the fingering for a bass clarinet the same as an ordinary Bb clarinet? (I think I might have asked this before but idk if you saw so have it again). Also do you have more fun playing one over the other or is it mostly the same for you?

You're epic btw. :)

Yours inquisitively,

-Dres

no dres, YOURE epic, i have been waiting for the moment where i find somebody as enthusiastic about playing in ensembles with (not basic) instruments and i have found you! lurking in the shadows as you do

and yes, the bass clarinets fingering is exactly the same as a normal Bb clarinet. fun fact, the bass clarinet gets and extra note just since it has room, it goes down to Eb instead of just an E that you get on the normal clarinet.

however if you were wanting to play bass clarinet, it is a bit rare that you get just bass clarinet players, most players start playing clarinet and go to bass clarinet for octave diversity in bands and double ups if in a theatre pit or something.

not that im stopping you, as clarinet is an amazing instrument, and you said yourself that you probably wouldnt anyway, and so if you were to pick a bass woodwind instrument then bassoon is the way to go!!!

all im saying is that its weird to pick contrabass flute if you dont learn flute but its fine to play bassoon (which lets admit is basically a bass oboe)

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! What instrument is most synonymous with the musical style of jazz? Some might say the trumpet or the piano but for my money, the answer is clear: the saxophone. Created in 1846 by Belgian instrument builder, Adolphe Sax, the phone that carries his name was meant to be the bridge between brass and woodwind instruments. Over time, it was clear that its distinct sound and wide dynamic range made it especially suited to improvisational solos. Maybe that's why it was picked up by famous jazz aficionados like Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Maybe that's why the instrument seems to stand out whenever it is brought into a piece. That's not always the case. More subdued or "classical" saxophones do exist. Heck, there is nothing that says the instrument has to be used in a jazz composition. Still, it is something to think about. Whatever the case, nothing beats that saxophone sound, solo or otherwise. Unique, prolific, and stylish to boot. The saxophone is most definitely wonderful.

This is Jazzdragon 17 from 2011. I saw a guy in my mom's church ensemble playing an English horn! Not terribly common - you generally only see one or two of these in an orchestra, if ever. I decided that my next Jazzdragon had to have one.

Made with ink, watercolor, and Prismacolor pencils.

I played with my orchestra at the funeral of a band mate today.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this.

Five things I'd never got to experience if I hadn't been in band

English is lacking a good vocabulary for ensembles consisting of adults of varying age playing wind instruments which sometimes involve marching, but it's not like the "wait, you guys do something else than Sousa and Christmas mucic" stereotype isn't a thing over here as well.

My two greatest musical experiences are ones I can't share because one of them was a jazz performance written specifically for the band I was in and performed only once, some nine or ten years ago, in a small, rural pub full of drunk people with no way to appreciate it. The other was some jazz-up version of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" performed in what was allegedly one of the world's best concert halls. In Riga, twenty years ago.

But here are some other pieces I'd never gotten to play if I hadn't done this.

youtube

I have a love-hate relationship to marching band marches, finding them one the one hand cool and on the other, exhausting. And - not gonna lie - Sousa is just tired, even for me who've played comparatively little of him.

But Army of the Nile is always a highlight. It's difficult, but it's so fun. The only song where the woodwind embellishments feel like they add something more than showing off the finger work of the flutes and clarinets. Best trio, change my mind, taken just that level higher by the bars seguing the first run to the repetition.

youtube

I feel like the only person who love Tolkien primarily for the hobbits, and this is the most hobbit-y piece of music in existence (arguably barring the Prancing Pony number from the musical stage show). Sure, the third clarinet might involve a technically impossible semi-quaver trill between A1 and C#2, but everything about this number is perfection; the way it captures the spirit of hobbits, the perfect shifts between cheer and melancholy, the fact that at 6:14, the score says "ships come. Gandalf comes too", according to the director. Too bad I haven't got the vocabulary to say what it is about the chord shift at 1:40

youtube

Never played this one with a cornet solo, and this is the only recording I could find. Which is weird, because I didn't even know this was originally written for a cornet solo until I saw a different performance of it on youtube. But the cornet is clearly the superior instrument for both the clarinet solo in the beginning and the trumpet one in the middle, so please enjoy it, and also the most triumphant french horns coming in with the main theme at the end.

This is, after all, the epitome of wind ensemble music.

youtube

Only Scandinavians would understand, but understand at least the joy it brings me every time I get to do the Schubert towards the end. This piece is just pure joy and so much fun

youtube

The second and third movements I can give and take, but the first and the fourth? Sign me up, any day. You'd think playing the exact same movement over and over would get old, but it somehow never does.

Conversation

Orchestra in a nutshell

Conductor: Can we start at rehearsal letter A?

Musician: we don't have rehearsal letters

Conductor: oh. Can we start at measure 25?

Musician: We don't have measure numbers...

Conductor: So then let's start at where it says allegretto?

Everyone: Okay.

Conductor: *literally about to cue everyone in*
