Little Fugue in G minor - Canadian Brass

[GiveCourage]

I just really love brass music right now :D

[BARITONESWAGJOE]

no baritone WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hisa1shi]

@BARITONESWAGJOE Brass quintet is written for trombone, not euphonium.

[jboy1ish]

musical compositions are normally rated on a scale of 1-6. 1 being easy, 6 being expert. This would no doubt be a solid 10

[leou11]

these mother fuckers at the end better stand up

[dhammittify]

What do the tuba player and trombone player have on their mouthpieces?

[fswmacguy]

@dhammittify  Those are most likely custom-fit mouthpieces.

[byohorn]

@dhammittify thoes are actually ceramic lip plates, it is easier on the mouth.

[byohorn]

How do you do that lip trill?

[ff808]

did the horn just lip trill at 0:46 and it appears to happen again at 1:28 because i dont see his fingers moving at all

[Jollywong9]

@ff808 listen carefully, the trill at 0:46 is the sound of a trumpet, but i'm not sure about the one at 1:28

this is the Fugue's structure, a leading instrument plays one melody, the others follow while the instrument continues the melody.

[RaiderTrombone17]

@Jollywong9 No no no. :46 is the French Horn. There's a trumpet trill at :48, the trumpet holds the trill longer. I think ff808 was asking about the trill in the melody, which is the horn. The trumpet has the countersubject at that specific part. And again, the trill at 1:28 is obviously the French Horn, who has the same countersubject as the trumpet did at :48.

[LordArtemisHunt]

@Jollywong9 The 1:28 trill is the French Horn

[MrTwinsdad08]

I saw these guys live at Davies Hall in '89. It's really just amazing. I played tuba then, and basically I just messed around compared to these guys. The best part is when they position themselves around the hall and play. They fill the hall just fine, whether they're together like this, or separated.

[MrGuitar144]

I hate high school trumpets (for obvious reasons) but professionals are perfect.

[golovchenkonico]

The Cavaliers.

[gera1262]

I cried.

[curiosity55]

can anyone pleasee tell me the theme of this song??

[Angryification]

@curiosity55 The theme in a fugue [not a song] is called a subject.

[164Jamecorp]

@Angryification Pretty sure that it's a motive... but who really care in the end?

[Angryification]

@164Jamecorp It's a subject. :)

[guitarboyemk]

Plastic rim the rest of it is metal

[PLYC4EVER252]

I love their ceramic lined mouth pieces. Or I believe its a ceramic lip plate?

[petster13]

@jdebruynviolin G minor can be in other octives?

[miles53194]

half of yall are hating. why? they are better musicians than most, if not all of you. dont be judgemental if you cant play it better yourself. its played amazingly on the instruments that are using.

[facu25252002]

Genios Totales!!!!!

[jdebruynviolin]

This is a very high G minor...

[thehillantonio]

Wow. Memorized. :) Swag

[48winger]

Truly God inspired - LOVED IT!!!!

[MrMcompagno]

I dont believe this was too fast. Perhaps the beginning was, but otherwise they nailed it

[Vilheim93]

Too fast, I agree, but I feel the articulation was just right. Remember that this piece was originally written for the pipe organ, on which it would usually be played completely legato.

Frankly I feel this arrangement would sound better if it were played on more uniform brass instruments i.e. Trumpet Mellophone Baritone and a front facing tuba such as a contra. This would help create a more uniform sound and get rid of the unnecessary color that gets added naturally by the current instruments.

[MrMcompagno]

is he circular breathing? I think he is but im not sure. Amazing!!!!!

[KegPatcha]

Too fast and legato??? I think they did their best to adapt Bach to brass. If they play it slower and a little more staccato, maybe they'd asfixiate so they have to carry with them an oxigene tank.

[bonumfatum457]

@KegPatcha It's spelled Oxygen.

[ahgblopes]

Too fast and legato..

[MrMcompagno]

@ahgblopes Its supposed to be played really legato. Listen to the original organ arrangement.

[ahgblopes]

@MrMcompagno

But it is brass, not organ... And why so fast??

[mbmaccin555555]

R.I.P

[crazyco95]

He doesn't need to circular breath. He has an extra mouth under the beard..

[MrKlausbaudelaire]

@crazyco95

actually, musicians who play blow instruments have a trick where they store the air in their mouth and keep blowing while filling their lungs with air, with their mouths STILL blowing the air inside, so they keep a breathing cicle ^^

[crazyco95]

@MrKlausbaudelaire No shit, I know that, I play the trombone...hints I know this include that I put, He doesn't need to CIRCULAR BREATH.

[kingtaythe2]

Is it Right for cum to come out your ears.

[Thebular1337]

@kingtaythe2 that is what is called an "eargasm"

[dgeorge54]

White shoes or no, this is the fab five that did over 2000 concerts together: Ron Romm, Fred Mills, Chuck Dallenbch, Gene Watts, and David O'Hanian. Forty years after they started, Chuck Dallenbach (tuba) is the only original still with the group.

[gpando25]

@dgeorge54 Sorry but the horn player is Martin Hackleman in this video!

[dgeorge54]

@gpando25 You are absolutely correct--Marty, not David. A stupid error since I know his daughter who plays in the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

[ClearBlackWater]

Is this really canadian brass? I don't see the white shoes :/

[ReconciIed]

@ClearBlackWater Unless Romm and Daellenbach took off to perform with a new group, then yes, this is the Canadian Brass.

[sonicgamerkingTV]

The trombonist reminds me of Christian Lindberg. Is that him ?

[coolguyhino92]

@sonicgamerkingTV i thought so to. but no. His name is Gene Watts. One of the founders along side of Chuck Daellenbach(tuba) and Ron Romm(Trumpet(the one with the beard))

[artjazzz61]

. . . Always loved those gus . . . beautiful . .

[AngiiCrites96]

AWESOME VIDEO! WILLAMINA HIGH SCHOOL BAND IS DOING THIS SONG AND WE AND GOING TO KICK BUTT!!! GO DAWGS AND CANADIAN BRASS!!!

[raptor888x]

Truly a phenomenal performance.
