Bass trombone, best trombone. The bass bone is one of the most loud and violent voices in the orchestra, and I'm surprised Christian didn't mention overblowing when discussing different timbres.
Are you stupid or something? No musician would give up playing their instrument just to do something else. There are plenty of voice actors who still play their instruments.
He is so ridiculously good at the bass trombone that even that competes with the greatness of his voice (and yes I know that you didn't necessarily mean this literally)
loved this perma-smile on this teacher, and the good vibes he was pulsating. Also very detailed explanation, one of the best videos of the entire series
"The harmonic series is an inherent property of any closed length of tubing, whether it's a trombone, trumpet or *hose pipe*" That just caught me completely off guard XD
@@sanstheskeleton2023 and any instrument that is tuned. Strings, mallets, bells. Its a fundamental of using calculus to explain waves that arent sines of any kind using the fourier series.
@@jorgepeterbarton All instruments manipulate harmonics in one form or another. I was talking specifically about flutes and brass, where standard technique is that you use harmonics and adjust them for tunefulness, either with fingerings, or lipping around imperfect valve combinations.
TheTElleyvision You've got this backwards. As an open pipe, the flute has access to all the of the harmonics. When I practice harmonic excersizes on flute, I hit the octave, the 12th, the fifteenth, and so on. Not just the 12th, the 17th, and up. However, if you were to take a clarinet, it only has access to the odd partials, as it is a stopped cylindrical pipe.
Adachi I suppose as a string player, it's difficult for me to grasp an instrument in which you cannot physically see most of the changes in pitch. On my viola, I know where the notes are just by looking at the fingerboard. For brass players, it's much more tactile. That's part of why it seems difficult to me
I play both cello and trombone, and I'll say trombone is much easier. Why? Intonation. With string instruments intonation is so minute. Intonation is much easier on brass instruments. Think about it this way: On trombone there are 7 slide positions (6 with an F-Attachment). This gets a little more complicated since different partials aren't exactly in tune (for example, F4 in first will be sharp, and that whole partial has to be played slightly lower than other partials. Ab4 is very flat, making it pretty much unplayable in first position). On cello you have pretty much a different possible position for every half step, and they are all of varying distances (i.e. the closer to the bridge the closer the positions). That's further complicated by string crossings. Your slides have to really be on point to be in tune. I also play a little bit of trumpet. I can "see" the notes since I visualize the fingerings as trombone slide positions (trumpet is just a trombone taken up an octave). As a cello player I'm not even given the luxury of seeing positions. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Edit: I kind of forget to mention what exactly I meant by minute intonation. Basically, on cello smaller movements lead to much larger changes in intonation than on trombone.
metromatician I see. Maybe I should have been a trombonist then. I mean, string instruments are definitely very difficult, but as I mentioned before, something about not being able to SEE where the notes/proper intonation are seems daunting. I guess it's not as bad as I imagine it.
Sebi It's a Conn 62H. If you're looking for a nice bass trombone, look no further. EDIT: Here's one if you like: www.wwbw.com/Conn-62H-Bass-Trombone-463276.wwbw
We do have evidence that people use our instrument films to choose new instruments and we have heard from and met several people who chose their instruments with these films. So we are sure there are some young trombone players out there being inspired by this video.
It is a bit interesting, to see what you were only a couple of years ago. I totally don’t expect imperial march anymore, since I know a lot more orchestral repertoire.
This is a common joke amongst low brass players whenever Prokofiev is on the docket. Here's an example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YqeO4VBgrqs.html
That section of Jupiter is near the end, where tye violins and glock play shimmering arpeggios while the trombones, euphonium, and tuba play the chorale theme. It is not the same as the chorale led by the horns and violins in the middle of the piece. This particular section starts with the low brass, then the trumpets finish the theme, them the triumphant music flares up and the piece ends.
I was surprised to learn, upon starting to play a tenor trombone, that the harmonics of the bass trombone are essentially the same--that is, the B-flat pedal tone on the bass trombone is the same octave as that on the tenor trombone. However, the bass trombone is designed to make it easier to play the lower notes, with much better tone quality than is generally possible when played on a tenor trombone. Of course the triggers aid in this (although most tenor trombones these days also have triggers--but mine is an old fashioned 'straight' tenor trombone of relatively simple construction). The contrabass trombone is a lower-pitched instrument whose natural range is more like that of the so-called 'BB-flat' tuba.
When I was just beginning trombone in junior high (on a "pea-shooter" starter trombone), I got to watch from backstage behind the high school trombone section belting out the Finale from Symp. #1 in D minor by Kalinnikov. I thought to myself, "Holy Crap! I had no idea it could THAT...!" I fell in love with the look and feeling of power, and have not looked back since...
Excellent! I played trombone in a west Texas band in the mid 1980's. I sold my trombone because I needed money for college. I am going to a pawn shop tomorrow to buy a trombone and and guitar.
this man is passionate. i wonder if he likes ska music. there have been some legendary ska trombonists, Sir Don Drummond, for one. but never a bass trombone in ska. it would be epic. serious skill, great instructional. keep on groovin'!
NEW INSTRUMENT FILMS: Hi everyone! We’re about to embark on making some new instrument films and we want to hear from you! What instruments do you want to see covered? Reply within the next week! Thanks for watching!
This is 3 years too late, but if i could request right now, it would be Gran Cassas and toms and how they go together. Thank you for all these super useful videos
Hola, desafortunadamente no tenemos nuestro app para Android. Es solo para iPad. Pero puedes ver muchas cosas del app aqui: philharmonia.co.uk/explore/instruments. Gracias por tu interés!
We have a new instrument film - EUPHONIUM - coming out on 23 Feb 2018 - make sure you subscribe to be the first to see it! TRAILER: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U1nNyGLD170.html
They should put euphoniums in orchestra because the notes are a bit more clear and louder then a trombone (from my perspective) and euphoniums also have the same fingerings as a BB flat tuba
This is an incredible resource for beginner orchestrators everywhere. The only thing that could make it better would be notation at the bottom to help connect the sound to the score. Thank you to all the musicians who worked to put this together!
At 1:16 , I was looking all the videos for this moment! I didn't know which instrument made that part in the music. That's an aewsome serie of videos! Thank you.
It is indeed from 'The Creation' by Haydn. More specifically it can be heard in 'Vollendet ist das grosse Werk', which features at the very end of 'Part 2'.
Omg this instrument is so much harder than I thought. I play flute, piccolo, violin and harp (all in treble clef) so i always asume anything outside the tremble clef is easier because they never get the melody. Clearly I was wrong
Listen to the New Philharmonia Orchestra recording of Vaughan Williams’ Symphony no. 4 to hear what a trombone section should sound like, especially the bass bone.
Get involved in our #popupplanets! We want to see you playing your favourite extract of Holst's The Planets and you have a chance to win a pair of tickets to our concert in London on Saturday 1 Oct: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9UY29P2CW1o.html
The most perfect lession i have ever seen, there is no error in his lession, so smooth and clearly, I'm sure his music is perfect aswell. I never thought I'd respect someone just by hearing them preach like this
Both that bald head and his voice are the calmest things known to mankind. Also, in the tuba clan, a bass trombone can also be a member to serve the tuba gods
Yeah now this was almost exactly the kind of trombone I was just reminded of by *_Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2_* episode "Plan 99"'s theme music... It was so sad, bittersweet and hearttouching... 😢💔 6:30pm 19.3.2024
