Jupiter for 6 Horns

[pongo9471]

great job! Please send a pdf if you would: bkilp@indstate.edu

Thanks! Brian

[sViv4SHIZ]

It's so funny how the computer makes French horns sound XD lolololol. I am playing this piece in my college band !! We actually have seven horns this semester! :D

[kylestyyle987]

The sixteenths in the chorale section sound pretty bad with stacattos, but otherwise, its great

[hodgeeees]

@mvute It's an arrangement, not a transcription. I chose to leave out parts to make it shorter. What really makes the original version is the passing of the melody from different registers and textures in a playful, dare I say it, Jovial manner. With only so many options with a horn sextet, I opted to leave out some of the repetition while still maintaining the general structure of the work.

@hodgeeees it is awesome. i'd love to see a transcript. mail it to orrin@gunaxin.com or something. i've been wanting to know how the melodic lines and countermelodies b/w 0:14 and 1:00 go for literally years

[heathrobertallen]

Me too! How can I get a hold of this?

Can i have a PDF? harlonlonmo@gmail.com 

[magentagrapes]

Hi would it be possible for you to send me the PDF file? You can send it to cheewawa_97@yahoo.com.sg

[Englishtenor2]

@mvute Er...It's for 6 horns!!!!!!!!!

[hodgeeees]

@mvute Honestly for the sake of brevity.

[SDhornguy]

I play in a large horn ensemble in San Diego and we'd love to have this arrangement and possibly record it for you. Please contact me at funluver6@yahoo.com to continue chatting about this. 

[horn1palmer]

need some help recording?

[tomlubeckmusic]

the choice of phrasing is GENIUS

[tomlubeckmusic]

eh. little more emotion.

[FrenchHornGuru1]

I could try to make a recording for it if you would like.  It would take me about 2 weeks to finish since school has started. I have played horn for six years and would very much like to record it.

[Krullbas]

Is there any chance that I might be able to get the sheet music for this? would be kinda cool to play this with some horn players I know! :)

[tophrocks234]

thank goodness! PLayed this with my orchestra and can't find the music ANYWHERE! thank you!

[chanhaoyangx2]

Hey, for the 6th horn writing, is it written in old bass format or new bass format?

[hodgeeees]

@chanhaoyangx2  New Notation

[chanhaoyangx2]

@hodgeeees thanksssss. coz if its old, it would be a tat harder. :p

[MrTugboat1991]

i think it would sound better on finale 2011 with 3 trumpets, 2 horns in f, 3 baritones,2 tubas, just your original brassline but this sounds good too but a little to TECHNO for the arrangement but over all very good

[zacharyjrsman]

if you would like, my computer has virtual instruments that sound much better than these (pretty close to the real thing in my opinion) if you sent be the music and/ or midi file, id be happy to convert them to the virtual instruments so you can hear what they sound like :)

[hodgeeees]

@zacharyjrsman I appreciate that, but I'm happy to say it won't be needed. A gentleman who records a lot of horn music for youtube has asked to record all the parts for me. I sent him the score and we hope to have it up soon!

[zacharyjrsman]

@hodgeeees fantastic! i'll be looking forward to it :D

[Girfume]

@hodgeeees Would this person happen to be ohsteacher? He does some amazing work :)

[Girfume]

@hodgeeees Would this person happen to be ohsteacher? He does some amazing work.

[hodgeeees]

@Girfume Yes it is, actually!

[deurerdan]

@hodgeeees Is it Marc Papeghin? You should send it to him.

[hodgeeees]

@deurerdan It's Steve Park, actually.

[MrDrew45259]

Could you tell me how to get the sheet music? Just message me on here! Thanks!

[jjs6512]

my friends would like to attempt this

[maikel371]

does somebody have the sheetmusic for me so that i can record it ??

[ironspeed12]

the end of the peice i could just hear my band director.... I HEARD THAT TONGUE COMING OUT OF YOUR BELLS!!!!!!

[ANDREW007CZ]

I wist to hear somebody who will for sure play it...

[hodgeeees]

@ANDREW007CZ me too. So far two groups have attempted, both decided it was a bit more then they could handle. We shall see. I know I need to fix some things. Had a bit more theory, counter point and orchestration since it was originally written.

[ANDREW007CZ]

@hodgeeees

Ah, then ok.. because I think this is unplayable :D

[hodgeeees]

@alex40218 Depending on which part you're talking about, it might be marked to slow down. This older version of Sibelius is horrible about tempo changes. I tried to stay as true to Holst's markings as possible.

[Gonzo6994]

I would love to get a copy

[misteramerica112]

very nice arrangment! i play horn and would love to play this :D

[kelsibelle2005]

THIS IS SO AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS.

[HomelyCooking]

Please find an ensemble to perform this...the computer approximation is horrendous.

[stnam1994]

It sounds nice, but are the fast notes and large jumps possible at this speed? It seems pretty darn hard

[hodgeeees]

@stnam1994 Thank you. Glad you like it. And it is hard, but possible. Most any college level ensemble would be able to play this with some practice.

[tomdowns]

@hodgeeees It's about as hard as the full score version for large orchestra. Trust me.

[ballagrl11231]

this is awesome

[mo894]

Nice piece... I am also playing the french horn and like playing pieces just for horns...

[slusimann]

Great - Where can I get the sheet music :)?

[Maaikehoorntje]

Wow, great arrangement! Have you already found a publisher? I'm playing in a horn ensemble, and would love to play this piece and arrangement!

[Moonmatt2]

This is pretty legit.

[alyssacroacia]

Not bad

[atoman88]

hey im actually working on a full orchestra transcription for jupiter. im 2 minutes into it. its just after the 3/4 time. hard as hell doing it.

im going for the full 8 minutes long that it is =)

add me as a friend and ill send the vid to you when its done. i use finale 2009 =)

[halfdemon4lifeintime]

i love playing tjis on the french horn tho i really really want to play the oblivion theme song

[PAHSbandman]

How can I come about a copy?

[MstislavRousseau]

This is pretty cool, but you should find some horn player buddies to play it for you!
