  • horn-gasm is exactly right. they are extremely talented. i would love to be able to play that well. that would be awesome

  • LOVE!

  • @beagle4864 Yeah, thats pretty much what I was saying. I just hate when people think that a Horn player is terrible when theyve never tried it. A high school student would have a hard time being perfectly accurate. What i was saying is that you have to work harder to be accurate on Horn than most other instruments.

  • 00:08 "Screw soldering, all I need is some zip ties!"

  • @Dovakiin14 No, horns do have terrible accuracy. These guys are pros, of course, so they dont really emphasize how hard it is to switch between notes without screwing up. It requires loads more practice to be accurate on Horn then on, say, trumpet.

  • @AsianSnowybrick Yes, it is hard to be accurate on a horn, but I think the point is that horn players can be accurate too. I know some fantastic horn players, I love to play with them, not everyone is brilliant at horn, but again, not everyone is brilliant at their instrument

  • Whoever is on the low register is such a bad ass.

  • Horn-gasm

  • @Diatonic7th I've been playing horn for almost 5 years. I played Bassoon as a second instrument for a little over a year and absolutely loved it. But it was easy to pick up. I'm gonna have to agree with AsianSnowybrick The fact that you can play any note on at least 3 fingerings makes precision extremely difficult if you're not very accustomed to it. For example, I can play a G on 6 different fingerings. 2 of those are the same fingerings as the most common fingering for the F and A around it.

  • @carfreakify Yes, your right. There is no such thing as an easy instrument (except maybe Saxophone, only took me a half hour to play advanced etudes.) However, there are instruments that are harder than others, abd i belive Horn takes 1st as the hardest instrument to play. Double reeds are truly quite a challenge, i just think that Horn is more so.

  • @Diatonic7th Oh believe me, i woulnt make such a statement if i hadnt tried one. Ive pkayed all the band instruments, and brass players require a much stronger and more flexible embouchure than a woodwinds, even more so than a double reed which are argueable the hardest woodwinds to play. Of course, a million times was exaggerating, but from my experience brass instruments are harder than woodwinds.

  • buena sección

  • I still play 3 Instruments, Flute, Saxophone and Clarinet. And now I`m going to learn horn. I love this Instument! :)

  • @Querpfeiffe Hello fellow Flute player~! You can choose to reply because it seems that all people that play Saxophone hate me, soo...lol yes, I know this is true because I have had very interesting experiences in band this year XD I want to play French Horn very badly, but I got switched to Flute, and just to anyone who plays Violin, VIOLAS WIN BY A LONGSHOT~!

  • I had an Eargasm.

  • i've been playing the horn for 10 years and i still make mistakes every now and then. even when you have incredible focus, mistakes just happen on the horn. that's something every horn player needs to accept if they want to become better musicians. otherwise, you'll always play tentatively, and playing scared leads to more mistakes.

  • You have got to get your CDs on Amazon.  That is simply what you have to do, and the sooner the better!

  • Why aren't Vienna horns played in the US???

  • Best version i ever heard so far :D beautiful!

  • this made me cry

  • The majestic work of John Williams. Horns sound so heavenly from the lows to the highs with all that fat juiciness in between.. I love it!

  • omg. im a trumpet player and i just had an eargasm. my god that was beautiful.

  • is there any difference between these horns and normal french horns

  • @Orangenscheise These horns are either more mellow or more trumpety (I don't know) and these horns are only in single horn, these don't come in double horn at all.

  • Fluters unite~! anyone? anyone at all?

  • Makes the hair on my balls tingle.

  • holy fuck chills

  • @taylorstalkerXD Everyone can tell you're bursting with pride about getting into your HS' orchestra....you won't make friends if you're constantly throwing your accomplishments in their faces.

    Remember....unless you're Stefan Dohr, there's always a bigger fish.

  • woooooooooooooooooooooo best horn section ever! I think this is the perfect example of awesomeness anyone agree? clarity great range amazing all around the best. I would pay any amount of money to hear these guys

  • Those horns are so pretty! My highschool is playing jurassic park for the full symphony and I was asked to play with them! (I'm a freshman so its a big deal for me haha) However I'm really scared because I would be the only freshman horn player, my friend matt who also plays horn and is a freshman is in the full symphony as well but as the piano player. Any advice for a scared to death freshman horn player?

  • @taylorstalkerXD Don't suck.

  • I'm proud to be a trombone and I love it, but I want to be reincarnated as a horn player.

  • Comment removed

  • I've been playing brass instruments for 6 years now. The first time I watched this video was this summer, and it still has the most beautiful chord at the end that I have still yet to hear anything that comes close to comparison.

  • :D i play trumpet and my second choice would be horn <3

  • @Saltofreak123 same :)

  • Such perfect 1st horn parts. The arrangements really pulls out the thick thick texture. The movement of sound seems as if it is physically tangible with how thick it is. Those low parts are sublime also.

  • @3sweetthings You have to have them hand made by the only guy who can. My cousin has one!

  • Comment removed

  • Holy tits I love this!

  • I bet those who disliked it were probably deaf, even trumpet players must concede that this awesomeness is beyond them

  • Makes this old French Horn player very emotional.

  • @3sweetthings Read the title. there's your answer.

  • I just finished with my homework when 1:55 kicked in. Someday, I hope there is an iPod where the music changes with mood and surroundings.

  • I play French horn and this is amazing

  • what is a Vienna Horn and where can i get one?

  • @maushi102 well I think you might need to learn to play French horn first

  • This makes me cry at 2:02

  • At 2:00 I got the chills.

  • @bkow2010 WOW! I just saw your comment and then watched and the exact same thing happened. so weird!

  • I'm a trumpet play and i just switched to horn this year and i love horn(: and i don't thinkanyone should dislike this no matter the instrumentation its a beautiful piece

  • 2:00 is the most epic thing I've ever heard.

  • Man that is a beautiful horn sound. I've only played my horn for two years. I kinda suck though.

  • Muito show esta música.

  • Five saxophones, no doubt... They just don't get it.

  • Крутатень!БРАВО!

  • the very beginning sounds rushed...but i love it!!!dont get me wrong at all!

  • SHOOT HER!

  • Ah! Such majesty

  • Great music.

  • So beautiful...

  • You know how some people just, plain LOOK intelligent? Well, Alexander Wagendristel is one of those people.

  • 4 people were attacked by dinosaurs

  • god this is beautiful...

    

  • EARGASM

  • magnifique !

  • I wonder if there is an arrangement like this out there. Not this specific arrangement of course, because they aren't selling it.

  • The 1st horn should be cloned. Someone get his DNA.

  • @anniers7 Actually, they all need to be cloned.

  • @anniers7 it'll be all over the floor after he dumps out the spit

  • proof enough that you don't need a good horn to play beautiful music

  • 4 Trumpet players watched this video :(

  • @filledwithhate23 I am a trumpet player and this video kicks ass

  • @filledwithhate23 LOL...I'm a trumpeter....and I think this is AMAZING!

  • @altima169 kkkk i´m a guitarrist.... and i agree with you!

  • @filledwithhate23 And then told one of their friends. The only friend....

  • @filledwithhate23 What the hell dude. I play both trumpet and french horn, and find that comment very ignorant. I'd say trumpet and french horn are about even, maybe even trumpet being a bit better, because of its enormous versitality. French horn is great as well, great tone, but very limited. I hate how trumpet players and trumpets themselves are always stereotyped as being inferior to other brass, its pretty underrated.

  • @kylestyyle987 Horn is limited? The trumpet can't go below an fsharp below the staff without playing pedal tones which I are very out of tune on trumpet I might add. The french horn has an enormous range. I'd like to see a trumpet group cover that many parts in that many octaves.

  • @rtmcgaha I don't mean limited as in range and octaves, but yes, it has an astounding range. I mean that trumpet can play many different types of music, and can adapt to many, many different styles, jazz, latin, concert, baroque, mariachi ect. Because many trumpet players play with incorrect form and don't practice, they can sound terrible especially in school bands, I know that. I just think personally that you can do more with the trumpet.

  • @rtmcgaha Don't get me wrong, I think that he french horn is fanastic as well, an it's powerful sound is necessary for concert and ochestral music. I just think too mant people underestimate what a trumpet can do.

  • @kylestyyle987 No, I think people underestimate Horns more because of their terrible accuracy. People remember great trumpeters like Dizzy and Louis Armstrong, but how many famous Horn players have you ever heard of? I think that Horns are underestimated, if anything.

  • @AsianSnowybrick you r exactly right

  • @AsianSnowybrick That's the one thing I HATE more than anything else. Everyone in my band thinks I suck because I'm a freshman and I don't have enough experience to hit every single note the first time. Not that I'm the best horn at my school, but people need to give us a break.

  • @CyberShinyNinja People don't realize how terribly difficult it is to play Horn. Any Woodwind player can never understand that playing brass instruments is a million times harder than woodwinds, particularly the French Horn. I'm also a freshman Horn player. I'm one of the best in my band and have been moved to the Junior/Senior band, and even I find it hard to sight read music with perfect accuracy. It's not the range or fingering of notes, it's just hard to hit them accurately.

  • @AsianSnowybrick Ever try to play a woodwind? Double reeds are very hard to play. Not to put down horns--I love them. But brass is a million times harder than a woodwind? Not at all true.

  • @AsianSnowybrick Terrible accuracy? I'm pretty sure these guys are pretty darn accurate. lol look at any major symphony in America and around the world. Accurate horn sections all around. with enough practice, Horn can be just as accurate as any other instrument there is. This is coming from a Horn student :)

  • @filledwithhate23 I liked this video, by the way.

  • @filledwithhate23 -____- I play trumpet and I ADORE the sound of french horns.

  • @filledwithhate23 They're just jealous

    

  • @filledwithhate23 trumpet players loves this too ;)

  • @filledwithhate23 Yeah, But some of us [tpts] like this!

  • Do my eyes deceive me, or do those horns have piston valves?

  • @KazumaProductions Those horns are Vienna Horns, so yes, they have piston valves.

  • 4 ppl suck t-rex dick

  • we played this at our concert last year! i miss it because of the beauty.

  • If there was a harp playing I probably would have cried lol

  • damm that was amazing

  • Holy fucking shit its a dinosaur

  • are you all in Austria? or in america?

    

  • gorgeous

    

  • AMAZING!

  • I HATE BUFFERING!!!

  • Oh wow - those horns just SING that music!

  • WOW what an amazing group! I wish I could be apart of something like that! Quick question - what's the extra loop in the lead pipe for? I've never seen that before....

  • @aepack2006 - It is a Vienna horn, which is constructed very differently form almost any other horn you will ever see. It is an F horn - they do not use double horns at all in Vienna. You would need to be a student of one of these masters to play one, and to be considered to ever play with them, so just sit back and enjoy what they are able to do!

  • I think I'm in love.... with this group :D

  • This and Back To The Future are my 2 fav movie themes.

  • raptors are so smart now, not only can they open doors, but can also dislike videos!

  • This is Fantastic! I wish I could do get my hand on a copy ( I know that no sheet music of this is available) My French Horn ensemble would sound awesome

  • what fuck tard hit the dislike button?

  • watch out for that dinosaur that is lurking at your penil! xo see ya with my dice up my bort!

  • I absolutely love it! Well done!

  • I really regret ever putting down such a beautiful instrument. Maybe someday I'll finally be able to make time to play again.

  • How did you guys come together? How did this group start? You guys sound awesome. Just curious and wanted to let you know that you all have an amazing sound.

  • Stop asking if you can get the sheet music it is not going to happen. Just buy the CD and enjoy the music as it is performed. If you really want the sheet music the arrangment is quite simple to socre, you just need the permission and the capital funds to arrange it. Also you need to get a copywrite lawyer to make sure that you are not violating any international copy wirte laws. So with that said just buy the CD and enjoy.

  • lindo :)

  • A masterwork!!! Great sound, fantastic video.

  • Shit, these guys did John Williams one up. Didn't think that was possible, but I'm always glad to be proven wrong.

  • : ' )

  • I wish I could come to Vienna and play with you guys. =[

  • @15timmyboy -----I wish I'd never given up the horn so I might possibly be ABLE to play with these guys. You can make all the excuses in the world, but the time is ALMOST there for anyone to become that good, given the talent. Even with a full time job I COULD have gotten there. Only myself to blame. That small degree of difference takes many many hours of practice to make up. And you have to stick with it day in & day out. They DO. I salute each & every one.

  • Holy cow, that's incredible. Incredible. Incredible. I'm going to go practice now.

  • Will the sheet music for this ever be available for purchase?

  • @cookiesRgood26 Probably not. The original publisher is not interested, and we are not allowed to do it.

  • @cookiesRgood26

    if you can play by ear you could probably piece together the score if you spent the hours listening to each section, would take a while though

  • Comment removed

  • tell me they've done John Williams' Hymn to the fallen...

    That would be the best..

  • i love john williams

  • is there any difference between the horns in the video and a regular french horn?

  • @BingoStingRay Google 'Vienna Horn'. It's the actual instrument they play. The wrap and the valves are entirely different from the Kruspe and Geyer style horns in use today. The coil right below the mouthpiece can be changed to change the key of the horn.

  • horn=one love

  • EXCELLENT!!and excellent arrangement too!well done sir :) (Y)

  • love it could you send me first part sheet music

  • OMG IM SENDING THIS TO ALL MY FRIENDS

  • This is why i play and love the french horn! :)

  • Fantastic i love the sound of the beautiful Horn;)

  • Such virtuosity, such tone, such musicality, such is the beauty of the Vienna Horns.

  • Simply fantastic, what artistry, what an arrangement! It is absolutely clear that the arrangement cannot be available due to copyright. As one of the members explains all royalties go to the holders of the copyright and not the performers. In this world this sort of thing is what one could call a labor of love. For this reason we are lucky to be able to experience such exciting music played on the incomparable Vienna Horn - the purest, most beautiful horn sound on the planet. Thanks!

  • Woooooow, this sounds better than any other horn groups. Were can you purchase Viennese Horns? and can you attend live performances?

  • Brilliant.

    As a horn player, and I biased one at that, I have to say that the horn is the most beautiful instrument.

    I'm iching to play it every second

  • @tophrocks234 I'm a violinist, but I'd have to say I agree with you. If someone invented a horn that could match the dynamic range and versitility of a piano or a stringed instrument, we'd all be out of a job.

  • The Horn is one of the few instruments that give me goose pimples.

  • Less zooming in on the mouth, more shots that show the fingers. What is so fascinating about watching their lips? ugh

  • Can't hide John Williams. This is awesome.

  • Girl in my band made an arrangement of this :3

  • Thumbs Up if you have an instrument, and you want the Sheet Music for this, that you want to die for it.

  • THIS MUSIC CAUSE ME DELIGHT AND ESTEEM TO THIS HORNISTS

  • 0:43 guy on the left? lol

  • @MrDlobMusic The infamous "going high-face"

  • fantastic music! horn is most hard for performance instrument!!!!!!!!!

  • John Williams liked this.

  • What's with the cable ties on some of the horns?

  • @TheHatTuba Only being a double horn player, I'd guess that because Vienna horns use interchangeable crooks (or at least some??) they use it to help brace the crooks to themselves. I am unsure, but probably has to deal with the crooks...

  • The vienna horn is good sound.

    The sound in F tube is the highest.

  • So beautiful...

  • breath taking.

  • I only took two years of German. What does all that German say?

  • I think you guys should have put in a tuba for some richer bass notes. The horn kinda goes bass trombone-ish in the low register and maybe a tuba would have rounded it out.

  • this is nice

  • 3 people accidently hit the dislike button as they were being chased by T-Rex

  • Do you know of any makes in the UK that make Vienna Horns or any one selling thier horn?

  • am i allowed to jizz while watching, or after?

  • Das ist der Wahnsinn! Ich spiele selbst Horn und das zu hören macht mich sooo stolz!

    :-)

  • Where is this group located? So beautiful, I would love to be part of a group like this!

  • Listen to the guy who nails all those low notes at the end!
