Low Brass Section playing Excerpts

[FrenchHornKid95]

euphonium? you're kidding, right?



[ratzlp0li]

@FrenchHornKid95 The score for the Brucker 8 uses the wagner tuba, which is very similar to the euphonium. It is given a very prominent solo in the 3rd movement.

[TonyBtones]

Wait a second... where's your euphonium?

[jparkin71]

Such nice sound!

[AstroidMan84]

That's my theme song.

[Christianrocker1990]

LOW BRASS FTW!

[LiamusShakirus]

SO. GOOD.

[chaos3nigma]

[younggibbs]

[nuclearthreat545]

[cogitoergosummmx]

LOW BRASS POWER!



[MsSuperguy1]

[chaos3nigma]

0 dislikes! that right!! so cool low brass for life

[RoyMaro]

my ears just had an orgasm

[km426]

@RoyMaro This did cause an Eargasm

[paquillo5]

jävla bra

[eldwinwong]

thats badass

[12345bdm]

makes me proud of being in a low brass class in middle school and playing the trombone

[Zingriego]

Pretty good, but I can hear individual tongues. Great blend and intonation though!

[regaldrifter]

only thing that i found a litttle bit off; last chord needed major intonation from the top trombones. over than that, i enjoyed that very much.

[trombonastico76]

dude this section is SO tight!

[Thefunkintown]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! but u have a little posture problem u should raise the stands

[quintanillae]

@Thefunkintown The look is not more important than the sound. Whatever it takes to sound great is the goal. A correction should be made when the player is not producing an ideal sound due to a posture issue, they dont have that problem.

[jazzmasta92]

nice

[SuperSax875]

Oh man... Good stuff.

[km426]

I love the breath intake before you play, you just know something epic is going to happen!

[tigerreydelaselva]

Simply...Awesome

[jazzman09876]

Oh very very nice boys!

I'm currently studying under Charles MacInnes and Michael Bertoncello, down in Australia at Melbourne Uni, and we had to go into sections earlier this year, and play all the brucks, Mahlers, Wagners, Tchaiks etc. And we loved it!

[ColonelFrank07]

damn..blend, balance, and intonation were all amazing. this is what a low brass section should sound like

[trptguy69]

I love when a bass trombone player knows the perfect amount of edge to put on the notes on stuff like this. sounds awesome!

[tubadude07]

Love the sound, it's powerful but not too blatty. Awesome stuff. I got to play this excerpt for a Ron Barron masterclass, it was awesome.

[1dew]

I play all those instruments

Nicely done especially bass trombone sound

[tylarbullion]

Wow, very impressed with the HUGE sound of the tuba and bass trombone.

[pwntskater]

yeah, sounds great with a subwoofer :)

[babtrombone]

I wished i had a section to play with who can play like that! Great sound guys!

[DolfoMan]

oh yea....makin' it sound a little pissed, hell ya

[PatrickBateman930]

The best section i've heard on youtube

[Brassbones09]

Nice!

[MichaelTuba]

Awesome!

[tbone1der8]

Holy shit...that sounded amazing.

[TexasBassBone]

VERY awesome, fantastic playing, that is how Bruckner should be played :)

[pianomatteo]

I come back and watch this video like every 6 months, and it never ceases to amaze me. The intonation is out of this world, and you guys have tone that in my opinion could hold your own against the best orchestras in the world. ughhhh so goood!

[ubjorlin]

Bravo. Lush and powerful and beautiful and impeccably in tune. Heja Sverige!

[ashleyxxiloveyou]

I got chills. Oh dear.

[tjmcdoug]

this is the best video on youtube because it displays the best instrument known to man. THE TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AA!!!!!!!!!!!

[simonfrisk]

;-)

[tubaman068]

i agree with you

[baritonegrl138]

holy jeez.

[bordaz1]

can somebody from sweden or norway please explain to me why brass players from these countries play circles around us in the english-speaking world? that was phenomenal

[adamlovestrombone]

This is a really tight section! Anyone know where from?

[moesbrotha]

Read the description.

[Mast3rTuba1990]

OMG I am having an orgasm listening to this!!!!

[OliverKahnNr1]

Great playing! I actually have the full orchestral score to this symphony! (xP; yay me!) I heard a very nice contra G-flat from the Contrabass Tuba in measure 9 (measure 7 of playing in this video). But I agree: you guys really should have finished the excerpt to "C" (measure 48). Keep going!

[blindarbalest]

WOW!  What a sound

[florinbasstrombone]

bass trombone player is incredible.powerfull sound

[uganickb32]

Im glad i have the Gordon-Cherry excerpt CD, so now i can go and print all the parts and play it. Now all i need is a good tuba...but seriously, the Gordon-Cherry excrepts are an amazing buy. highly recommended.

[PRHSBone]

yes nick.

except i bought it not you.

[phoenosso]

i love it. very sexy

[florinbasstrombone]

awesome

[DarthBronze]

I like the fact that a trombone sounds like an acuall man. That's something no other instrument really has in common with the trombone. When it's played right, there's no other instrument that's more enjoyable to listen to or that produces thicker cords. Tuba always helps haha.

[brastoki]

It's in tune, but the sound has not that quality of a European roundness, I mean thick, beautiful, profound but no agressive!

[Burgerbob22]

You have to be aggressive! Otherwise, why use trombones?

[BigFlipFlap]

Yeah... the Contra bass trombone can be even more aggressive.

[OliverKahnNr1]

Sorry, maybe I didn't read the full comment dialogue; but... What Contrabass trombone? Alto trombone, Tenor trombone, Bass Trombone, and Contrabass Tuba are the only low-brass instruments of the entire smyphony. Explain please... thanks!

[ThaSchwab]

Oh my God ... those chords are bliss.

[adsteve84]

Freakin' amazing blend! I used to do stuff like this, I need to get the boys back together, it's great experience.

[ziggyrig]

i play trombone and this duznt sound very hard but it duz sound awesome

[whocares45]

WOW that makes me want to work on breathing exercises.

[maydevilcry345]

DAMNN

[sliphorn88h]

amateur hour

[Castenelli]

If this playing is amateur...i want to hear your "super" pro version... you should be a very hot trombonist! Frankly...

[Shires1130]

Bruckner is an f'n madman... Great playing guys!

[dale1966gto]

Let me add this: They sound good enough to be recorded! Only finish the exerpt.

[dale1966gto]

Has a great, deep effect one might hear in a movie soundtrack in a moving, dramatic section. Very majestic and awsome.

[mler1]

Very very nicely played!

[bassbonemexie]

it's like bam

[BassTrombone360]

Sounds Great!

[redskinnut26]

Let me correct myself...they are a very good young group!

[D3termined]

yay!

[alleballe12]

Go sibbe ^^ borén power (H)

[trombini1111]

How about some Mahler?

[redskinnut26]

One of the few groups that the YouTube brass nation HAS to applaud.

[swiftninja1234]

not true. but it was good :]

[unatrombonist]

wow i think orchestras should always have atleast 10 trombones and like 15 tubas lol

[JMR6916]

with people like these, no need to:P Add 8 Horns and voila!

[unatrombonist]

lol yeah your right

[swiftninja1234]

that would be overtake of ensemble.

[WAKeele]

Great work! You know, I'd buy a CD of you guys playing the big excerpts...heck, any excerpt!

[chefpablo2000]

This is the only one that is in tune. Congratulations low brass brothers!

[trombini1111]

This is great guys. I wish I had quality trombone players like you guys at my university.

[pellekopp]

ååå, kan ni spela in sjostakovitjs nionde, början o mitten på fjärde satsen? =)

[pianomatteo]

this... and various mahler excerpts are the reason i will never get over how awesome low brass is. hahaa

[neastop]

Det låtar skitbra killar!

[jspooner123]

Sweet, one of my favorites. Nice job guys!

[tbonestudent]

i would like to hear you play more of that excerpt. you are the best sounding group of low brass players who play that excerpt.

[tbonestudent]

THIS is why low brass pwns!!!!

[nomaughlimbaugh]

Great sounding!

question I've wondered: Can a tenor trombonist (easily) play a bass trombone? Is the mouthpiece similar? Or is it a very different thing to handle>

Thanks!

[JMR6916]

bass trombones aren't very different from tenors, they are just bigger. Bigger instrument + More air = More sound.

And yes, bass mouthpieces can be bigger than tenors

[Castenelli]

but bass trombone has a little bit less focus on sound. (bass trombone today sounds more like tuba with edge than alto trombone with ring)

[JMR6916]

It isn't 100% true, because bass trombone players can make their horn sound as focused as a tenor trombone... it only requires more skills.

[GunzTheDuel]

i dont think a bass trombone sounds anything like a tuba. lets not mix conical with cylincrical.

Bass trombones were built to have a fuller and heavier sound. Aside from that it sounds very much to a tenor but with a darker tone.

[tubajeff1n3]

@GunzTheDuel you are right, but thats why it is always so important for the Bass bone and Tuba to mesh together into one sound. when that happens the low brass section always sounds epic!

[BigFlipFlap]

Tuba: Mellow

Bass Trombone: Heavy

Contra Bass trombone: Aggressively heavy

[babtrombone]

good

[babtrombone]

also we tend to have more of a round sound than a tennor trombone

[MichaelTuba]

Nice!

[nxt2laststarfighter]

great sound... you guys have a CSO like wall of sound...

[beastful]

a little short of CSO im afraid lol

[tboneguy]

such a great excerpt
