Most likely, the French horn part is placed closer to the woodwinds in the symphony score because traditionally it's part of the woodwind quintet, thanks to its mellow tone. This way it can be considered a medium between woodwinds and brass instruments, being able to be relevant to both groups.
Because of each brother trying to "one-up" each other, I believe they made both Zildjian and Sabian better and hence, the two best cymbal manufacturers in the world! Competition does that...brotherly rivalry takes it to the new heights!
Hi! My school just had a gift from some local organization and we got a few instruments for our School's marching band. One of them is a Marimba, around 3 octaves long i think? Just had them a few months ago, and i was soo happy to have the skill for it, since our marching band officers told me that I was the one who's gonna play the marimba from now on. Just came across your video and thought it was very helpful, since i still feel new around my Marimba despite using it for many band practices. I didn't know that a Marimba was basically a percussion instrument so i guess that makes me a percussionist? Still have no idea about that one. Just wanna say thank you for creating a video about these cool instruments, definitely will check out ur other vids man! -sending love from the Philippines 🎉
Ummmmmmm yes, good info. But you put the cart b4 the horse. It's named (not nickname) "F clef" bc the SYMBOL ITSELF is a modified LETTER F!! (same with G clef, whoahhh)
Mmmm bass clef is more the nickname for the F Clef, especially as the clefs can be moved along the staff to account for the ranges of various instruments. Treble clef is the nickname for the G Clef, and alto clef is the nickname for C Clef. This is basic music theory.
The C-clef, too, can be put on any line, and in choral scores older than 1900 frequently is. It is "alto" only on the middle line (where violas, too, use it), but first line up for sopranos, second line down for tenors, etc. The G clef can be moved, too, in earlier music.
First 4 mallet solo I tried to learn: between zero and one from the book mile marker zero by ben wahlund. It was so bad, I played it for comments only at solo and ensemble. First 4 mallet solo I could play well: A cricket sang and set the sun by Blake Tyson. First performed it at my audition for the Hayes school of Music at App. State 2 weeks before I took it to S&E. I didn't get into Hayes School of Music. However, I used Cricket for my 4 mallet audition piece for UCF, FSU, and JU. Didn't get into UCF or FSU, but JU gave me a $47K fine arts merit scholarship.
They last a long time. I would probably still have my original pair if I didn't lose them. There are ways to clean them too, so if you maintain them well, they should last years.
If a multi-measure rest occurs within a repeated section or 1st & 2nd ending, you would also repeat the multi-measure rest. Let me know if you have a more specific example in mind!
