My high school marching band played an arrangement of this for our field show in the early 1980s. It is a challenging piece to play sitting on a stage, and was a REAL challenge to do while marching in a complex drill, dodging flags and other band members. But with a 100-piece marching band full of really psyched highschool kids, this tune really blew the crowd away every time we performed it...
I can only imagine that excitement. I was drumming in high school marching band from 1963-1965, and our director was former military. Rank and file wasn't enough, you had perfect obliques as well, or he wasn't happy. But we had a Class I level band and proud of it. Yours would have been a delight to see and hear!
It's a wonderful performance you've put on. It's one of the best versions I've heard. You play with determination and delicacy, your joy is a delight ! *Really Congratulations !*
I have played frugal nearly 60 years ( also trumpet and cornet) but the flugel is my favourite. What a great flugel player you are -sound, range and technique. Thank you. Also loved the big flugel section in the band. I pay in a big band in New Zealand - Jazz, Rock, etc. We do Billy Joels vocal The Way You Are using flugels on the trumpet parts. Great instrument for backing singers -Really cool.
Wow. Just wow. This song takes me back to my youth learning new styles of music and being drawn into jazz and its emotions musically. Fantastic performance and does Chuck Mangione well.
Chuck Mangione was my hero as a boy and wow you have done him a great service as this is an incredible performance. You have such great technique and control
It's a typical Dutch/Belgian kind of orchestra. It's called a fanfare orchestra. It's basically like a concert band, but with flugelhorns replacing the clarinets and with saxophones as the only woodwinds.
@@TobbeLund I have been in an orchestra like this for a little over 9 years. The flugelhorns really give the orchestra a warm sound. But apart from the flugelhorns the section that I liked to hear the most were the saxophones. At its peak we had 2 sopranos, 6 alts, 2 tenors and a bariton (in an orchestra of about 55 musicians).
FABULOUS TONE! Beautifully played, and while not technically a difficult song, it is difficult from a lyrical standpoint and Henrike pushes through the longest phrases with great control....and the improvised portions - yeah, GREAT stuff!
Wow - I've never seen so many flugels together in one place before! I play flugel in a (British) brass band where we have just the one. You are a wonderful player and I am so pleased to have stumbled across your channel :)
That may be a Guinness record for most flugelhorns assembled in one place. Very well done, beautiful tone and phrasing as always. The balance of the band was perfect, with something this exciting is soooo hard for brass players to stay subdued, brilliant!
This is what we call a "Fanfare" orchestra: a kind of brass-band with the flugelhorn being the tutti instrument (and it also includes saxophones). Common in the Netherlands.....🙂
Tu obra me ha emocionado enormemente. Esa forma de soplar el flugel... solo al alcance de una gran profesional. Evidentemente todas las notas han estado en su lugar, incluso en la improvisación Un verdadero gusto ver acompañando también tanta dama con fliscornos, creía que era un instrumento de viejos, pero ya veo que no. Me ha dado mucha alegría. Buen trabajo iii
In my farm I have cattle I went to " play" with the bull with my cape , took my cell and speaker play this piece 5 times thet baby made me sweat thanks
@@henrikeoonk-vanderveer1266 I am digging it! It's very uncommon in the USA for the few cats who own flugels to actually show up with them! Personally, I'm always looking for any excuse to pull out my flugelhorn, LOL
A wonderful performance, thanks much for sharing. Also, I love the sound of the Flugelhorn; may I ask if it is a van Laar horn and if so which model? I'm truly keen to buy one, just preparing funds and also need to find one that I enjoy the sound of. The one you are using is certainly one of them so is the one regularly used by the late Derek Watkins one of the key trumpeters for the James Last orchestra. Take care :-)
Wowzers. Tara Fitzgerald was a lovely creature in Brased Off but so are you and you could have really played it, then run around all over the show playing De Aranjuez for the rest of your life
