Bugler's Holiday for 3 French Horns

[johnsurs22]

You want some salsa with those chips? Haha I can't help it- I'm a trumpet player. French Horns can choose from pretty much any movie soundtrack and you choose "Bugler's Holiday"? Haha no it's all good, but just for the record, Trumpets 1 French Horns -10

[jacobbrashears]

Not bad... well yeah it is bad, but there IS a reason roy anderson put BUGLER in the title :)

Buglers play trumpets OR bugles but NOT french horn.

[8747800]

HAHAHAH nice! i bet its kinda hard to traspose it from Bb to F...well i can easily! can u?

[alawrence99]

If it was meant for horns it probably wouldn't be called "Bugler's" Holiday, lol

[blaquejew]

Not for bad for french horns. I would have rather have a concert band back them up instead of a piano. 

[bervy8]

Very unfortunate.

[trr321321]

The recording and hall acoustics are not very good but that does not explain the intonation problems they have (I think the main problem is in the low horn part)

[gorthjrod]

The solo's are cool. The original horn music is crud though.. I just don't like any of Leroy Anderson's music.. All the horn music seems to be endless upbeats

[coltonlostemo]

Hmmmmm ...... 

Yep .........

[yos313]

The 'mushy' sound as someone called it is due in a large part to the room they're playing in, not necessarily the instrument/player. It sounds/looks like it could be in a chapel or something like that, so it's a large room and the sound/articulations are getting lost. Someone said it's bc of the instrument, and while it may not be the easiest instrument to play a piece like this on, it is certainly possible.

[yos313]

@yos313 Go listen to something likt the London Horn Sound recording of 'Tico-Tico', they manage to pull of this style of playing quite well. Not 'mushy' at all. All that being said, nice job to the girls in the recording!

[connorjordan95]

Oh my god I love it!!!!! Where do I get the music oh my gosh!!!!!!!

[zphoto86]

I think part of the problem was the echo from the performance hall. I wonder if Kerry Turner could get a hold of this and write it out for the AHQ.

[jguzman455]

Speed it up and it would sound much better

[DiVeronica]

haha. we have to rewrite your mozart horn concertos. good to see it works the other way too.

[AngryBaldCat]

so slow! Pitchy, as well. As a horn player, one of my biggest pet peeves is an out of tune horn.

[bignut4567]

@AngryBaldCat the blend could be better too. attacks, Releases, colour it could have used some more work. still cool though. we just played this (the trumpet version) in university concert band. yay off-beats!

[wvwoodman]

Great Job - I really do not think it is too slow. It is a bit mushy but that is the instrument. I have played both on a collegiate level. Last summer I played in a band that did this with 3 Bassoons taking the lead. It was good variety piece.

[bignut4567]

@wvwoodman the french horn is mushy? you're really going to say that where almost everyone reading and posting comments on here is a passionate french horn player? lol.

[saxofoneprincess]

Cool, very ambitious =)

[We6Montsters]

Not that good.Slow.Ugh.

[RavenAbraxas]

Though it sounds good, this song is definitely not made to be performed by horns.

Maybe I'm wrong cause I ONLY do play tuba.

[chokmolina]

WOW !!! good job Jennifer.... looking 4ward to play this arrangement w/ FASO.

[MrCombat1965]

I can never decide if I like the harp or the French horn best..........yeah I know they are completely different, just bear with me.

[OctoberMountainGal]

Awesome job! And great creativity for your recital. I am also a French Horn player and when I did my recital tried to choose unusual pieces as well. I did the PDQ Bach Concerto for Horn and Hardart. Gave the audience a good chuckle.

[MRLOVINGOOD]

I'm always proud to see ladies as they take on leadership roles.These ladies are good and they're going to get better just because they choose to .

[frenchhorngal09]

My friends and I are playing this for our horn recital. We are playing it up to tempo though. :)

[michaelsafley]

this song is absolutely not meant for horns to play ever.

[TrumpetMaster1000]

I agree with Aresthesaint24 as a French Horn and Trumpet player this song trumpets can really bring out the articulations and brightness while the French Horn has a nice warn tone thats great for lyrical songs

[Aresthesaint24]

There is a reason this is meant for bugle don't get me wrong I love horn but this sounds way too mushy for my taste

[gingerpi93]

I didn't have a good first impression of this song back when I played it for band. The horns were stuck with boring upbeat eighth notes the whole time. Listening to this now, I appreciate how well you guys sounded together, but horns just aren't suited for this song.

[furirox4ever]

I am a horn player myself, and I just love this!!! :D This sounds really good.

[Mrdianalynn]

@furirox4ever This is the shit. I like it better than on trumpet!

[mdickinson]

Yes, the horns sound great! Yes, it's too slow. Much too slow! But what's really needed is to edit out the first thirty seconds of the video! We don't want to watch them adjust their stands and move their water bottle around... (water bottle on stage? What, is this concert so long that she's going to get dehydrated?)

[ddfrhh]

You're right about the first 30 sec and the water bottle but my feeling about the tempo is that it's appropriate for french horns, which attack notes in a different manner than trumpets. Also, just because trumpets have a quicker response time, doesn't necessarily mean that they need to go 200 mph Athletic performances at a high tempo often times do so with a complete disregard for fine tuning the nuances of dynamics and interpretation.Overall, this was an average performance with glitches.

[turtleshell56]

@mdickinson Only a hair or so.

[XBOXliveStUmMpY]

how could people say this is too slow. the players are probably already double tonguing! anyway, good job. : D

[glinkaboo]

Of course they're double tonguing. Noone plays Bugler's Holiday without double tonguing. But this is still the slowest I think I've ever heard this played. That said, I really like the sound of a French Horn trio on this piece.

[littleyogi16]

Allen Vizzutti can play it without tonguing at all.

[t39046]

And he can play upside down and inhaling haha

But seriously though... His double tonguing octaves is ridiculous.

[XBOXliveStUmMpY]

that is probably why i said that they are double tonguing. :)

[HahaMelia]

Haha..... sounds better with horns. (:

Just my opinion.

[jill08ian12]

the french horn is the best horn ever you guys kilt it

[Marcu5r0xs0x]

U. of South Carolina or Southern California?

Great job!

[OzTrumpet]

This is the University of Southern California.

[WhillieMan23]

@OzTrumpet the better USC :D

jk i just love the trojans

[robertoreference]

lentissima!

[sokjaer567]

horn is one of the most loveliest instrument to play!!!!i love it when i start playing it!!!

[hornalicious]

Perhaps I can get someone to record it when we play "Holiday for Horns" in the Spring.

[whatever7x7]

where is my ballping hammer, PLEASE

[shirkenXCCR]

to slow =[

[lap116]

always people have critics

horns are one of the hardest instruments to learn.and why to slow??i wanna see you play this pice

[kwonotae]

Bravo Jennifer !

[sgpepper123]

Would have been much cooler with the band. Still awesome. I want to play this! Good job.
