Here's something I put together with my fellow trumpet students at the Royal Academy of Music during lockdown... Enjoy! This was a mammoth effort to put together but we finally got there. More coming soon...
The clarity, tonguing, and crispness is difficult to master. These kids are freaking incredible. Kudos on the tons of practice and the editing. Absolutely beautiful.
The video editor is the person I have the most respect for, I can’t imagine the task of getting all 12 videos synchronized and perfectly tuned and volume
@@hawkers94 that’s not taking anything away from the players. They are clearly very skilled. The video editing for this would have been extremely difficult. That’s 12 different videos, 12 different mics with different recording abilities and distortion, 12 slightly different speeds of play, and probably a bunch of different takes/recordings that were used for each person. Getting it to all work together and sound good would be much more difficult than you might think.
@@jonathanshaffer6757 They were certainly playing with a click track, making syncing them much easier. But getting them to sound so blended is a feat indeed
I played a simpler version of this in ninth grade band as a part of a trio comprised of myself, Rusty Russell and Eldon Schoolcraft. We had to learn to double and triple tongue. That happened about three years before the pyramids were built.
as a past trumpet player..my friends and i were working on this when i left for the service. Love it. i wonder what mouthpieces they are useing?? i used a Bach 7c...
you guys make me wanna keep playing trumpet. every day i inch closer to quitting and people like you motivate me to keep going. great work, keep being yourselves
One of those pieces of music that grabs your attention. Probably why one Wichita TV station used it for their 6 & 10 o’clock news theme 50+ years ago. This performance is remarkable, all the more so for the social distancing. I would put it almost on par with the great RCA Red Seal recording by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops with Al Hirt as guest artist.
Magnificent. I'd been thinking about this piece and missing hearing it for quite some time then BAM!! here y'all are. Many, many thanks for this razor-sharp rendition!
Since y'all are in the UK: Thank you for selecting a song from the quintessential AMERICAN master of "light music", Mr. Leroy Anderson! Bill M., currently in Richmond, Virginia.
We Swedes see him a little like a Swede as well. He did get a award because of it as well. Don't remember if it was his parents or grandparents who were Swedes.
I really enjoyed that like crazy! But could someone name for me the horn that has the strange valves? They kinda made me think of french horn valves with the flat keys.
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. 2 Chronicles 23:13
Superb performance of Leroy Anderson's composition ! Congratulations on your fine musicianship. To learn about the life and music of Leroy Anderson, see: leroyanderson.com & leroyandersonfoundation.org.
Could someone tell me what trumpet did the guy with the hat and shades played?? Also they played absolutely amazing, I could never. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful. But why do so many trumpeteers (not only in this video) play downwards? I've always learned to play up to open your throat and play to the public and not the floor/your music stand. I love those piccolo trumpets with 4 (rotary) valves.
That was fun. For another fun one, Jim Stretton plays all 12 parts except for two notes play by Neil "Super C" Morley. You can also see the thrill of counting blank measures. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LVNKhliPsik.html
