Welcome to my youtube channel! This channel is primarily dedicated to a very underappreciated instrument, the Mellophone. However this channel is also for fans of any Eb/F alto range brass instrument. I hope you enjoy the clips and information I have on this channel.
I started learning this after watching this video. Watched it again this morning after being quite pleased with my progress, as I wanted to know what I could improve. Anyway, I now realise I am still a beginner. What talent she has!
I just bought a Conn 16-E (unfortunately, lacking a mouthpiece, so I'm seeking one), and it's nice to listen to this video to learn what it's supposed to sound like.
”in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed“ 1 Corinthians 15:52 This is what I like to imagine that moment will be like.
I've loved Stan Kenton for a really long time, but this is the first time I've heard this arrangement. What the heck? Talk about a huge gap in my Kenton knowledge!
We played this at my grandpas burial on Saturday. Grandpa requested to play loud and not hold back. My dad brought a huge speaker and we did just that. ❤
The first time I heard this I was 18 and out of marching band and it has always stuck with me, the sheer awesomeness and control (former trumpet player). Never knew who performed this and of course TikTok showed me 😂. I’m 41 now and I am just finding this again, hits different because I can share with my 16 year old son who is a percussionist.
I played eupho on this. When I came home from college one time my mom said my dad would crank this up and exclaim “Listen to this!!!!”. My dad wasn’t the type to get excited. Very disciplinarian. Played this at his funeral at his behest. Warms my heart to this day. And so do all the positive comments on here.
