  • well done soooooo smoth

  • i watch david childs 's videos whenever i need inspiration. this guy is amazing. i want a tone that that so badly!

  • the most emezing sound of euph ever heart bravisimo

  • that was incredible. i teared up a little.

  • I don't know what the craze on the C is, I have that in the Mars part, and I'm a sophomore lol. He could hit that at my age easily, no doubt

  • @K00lstorybrah Its not just squeezing the notes out. His tone is unbelievably clear and warm. Only a handful of brass musicians have not only the talent but the practice and playing method to produce such blissful music on a solo instrument.

  • @Bamchucknorris true, he does a remarkable sound

  • I love them little smiles he does to himself after the top C soo good (y) .

  • Thumbs up if you play euphonium!

  • He's pretty good. Sounds like me when I used to play.

  • I dont get it, for me a high C isnt hard at all lol... im sure its that high C not a lower C, and im not even experienced at euphonium, trumpet and sousaphone are my main instruments

  • @slowgold20 the high high C isnt hard for you? not just a regular high C

  • @irishman97ae the high C that Childs hits in this video lol

  • @slowgold20 thats cool. its not too hard to do, but it just doesnt sound that great for me

  • @irishman97ae A double c. over the fourth ledger line above the staff in bass clef.

  • @slowgold20 well if you play trumpet the higher notes should be more than easy for you. but i'm pretty sure your tone on them aren't near as clear, dark, and pitch stable as sir childs is here.

    I respect your skill to hit the note regaurdless!

    As a euphonist myself the high c isn't near as fickle as a b natural up there. and is quite nice to sit on. instrument and mouth piece may play a role in this as well.

  • Why isnt it called Gabriel's Euphonium?

  • @TheBossWC cuz Gabriel cant play an Euphonium, David can.

  • so i watched this song, went to buy it on itunes and i was forced to buy a horrid version of an oboe playing this song... *shudder*

  • Anybody else of the opinion that David looks like Simon out of the inbetweeners in this video?

  • I play euphonium and oboe so this is like porn for me.

  • you sound really good how do you play that gabriels oboe

  • Beautiful... his tune is just so warm and expressive

    Btw, he ends on a D, you can hit it without pressing any valve. the last notes are D-A-Fis-D

  • @Zezash It's a concert C. You can hit a C as either 1st or no valves. And it's C-G-E-C. Are you a trumpet player? That would explain that note pattern you gave ;)

  • @23xwafle5 Nope, I play a Bes tuned Euph, might be because some if your instruments are tuned in C, then your C-G-E-C makes sense :) Don't know about David's Euph, but D-A-Fis-D matches on mine ^^

  • @Zezash Yeah that explains it.

  • @Zezash Fis?

  • @BackAlleySoldier Oh, Its a F-sharp, Fis is a dutch name for it :) sorry

  • magnifique

  • @SuperOttovan here

  • @SuperOttovan Here's a link, you can get the sheet music from=) Enjoy!

  • David Childs is just freaking amazing............ I've talked to musicians I met everywhere and they all ask me "where do you expect playing Euphonium to get you?". I tell them to listen to this guy. He makes all the musicians I know look like wannabee recorder players.

  • i would really enjoy having sheet music for this. i'm only a sophomore in high school but i am a very well rounded euphonium player. i have been playing for 5 years now and i already have had 3 different colleges ask me to go to their campuses right out of high school. i have gotten straight 1's on every solo in my 5 years of playing. if someone could find the sheet music and possibly message me back i would gladly appreciate that.

  • @SuperOttovan I've looked for the solo music for Horn for Gabriel's Oboe and I can't find it. I had to use my wife's Oboe copy and transpose. Maybe you could do the same?

  • @MrTomochii If you can do it, a smaller piece is usually better for a baritone, especially one used for marching. However, smaller pieces are usually a bit tougher, so don't go too far with it. Also, usually a bigger piece is better for a euphonium because they produce a deeper, darker sound, which is what most people expect from a euphonium.

  • Go trombone!

  • I wish I knew what mouthpiece would help me the best for this song, anyone got suggestions for Euphonium?

  • @MrTimochii The one you play on. You shouldn't change mouth pieces very often. I play a DW 4. I say it depends on what you feel comfortable playing with and your skill level.

  • @MrTimochii Schilke 51D small shank is a good one for tone, however the high notes might be a little tougher on that than some other pieces just because it's a bit bigger. If you just want a normal, beginner mouthpiece then you should try a Yamaha 48, it's not the best sounding piece in the world, but it's a lot easier than some mouthpieces. Of course, whatever fits you is what's best, so don't definitively go off of my suggestions.

  • @guitarhero1346 Thanks for your suggestions, my mouthpiece on my marching baritone is smaller than that of my Euphonium, and it seems easier to get the "airey" sound blocked out in it. do you recommend I try a smaller mouthpiece?

  • @MrTimochii the mouthpiece you are most comfortable with, mouthpieces allowing you to go higher or lower is BS and is all dependent on the ability of the player on his or her preferred mouthpiece.

  • @Euphonium187 So you're saying that the mouthpiece has absolutely no affect on range? If so, I have to say you're completely wrong.

  • @guitarhero1346 joe alessi has a huge mouthpiece...i have to agree with him...

  • Simply Perfect, imprecionante the expression of our great Euphonia (David Childs). Congratulations!

  • This is simply beautiful

  • Does he really only have 3 valves or does he have a four valve compensating euphonium and I'm just not seeing the fourth valve down there?

  • @guitarhero1346 He has a 4-valve compensating.

  • @guitarhero1346 of course he has a compensating euph hes fucking david childs lol

  • pfft, 3 valve

  • @Username22481 I lol'd at this comment... There are actually 4 valves, three with the right hand and 1 with the left hand... :) It's okay, you are probably just a beginner so it is understandable :)

  • @GganpaeKwan hrm, not on the euphonium i play, mine has a fourth valve as a replacement for 1and3, but ty for the clerification

  • I'm not even in high school and my band teacher wants me to play that song high G and all

  • That is beautiful

  • I have the same euphonium as him :O (of course when I play it it sounds like shit compared to when he does)

  • Lovely, excellent job. It does not however have the pathos, soaring notes and elusive beauty that the oboe has, Even the brilliant Yo Yo Ma with his cello cannot best the oboe; I could however listen to YYM over and over again doing his version. What genius Morricone is.

  • @diliyd33 Sorry but no one beats Yo Yo Ma.

  • Sheet music??

  • nossa, o cara toca mt

    eu toco trombonito

    mas acho o euphonium muito lindo

  • Would anyone seriously like to help me find sheet music for this? It's driving me insane because I cannot find it anywhere. Please.

  • Comment removed

  • i think it might have been a more interestig movie if Jeremy Irons had had to haul this thing up the river

  • 22 people can't hit that High C like David.

  • @firehawk801 oh it's hard... i'm working so hard to learn this song, all I have is the sound from this video and that C is so insane!!!

  • @MrTimochii Oh yes, I know. I can consistently hit it, but after I sustain it the first time, my lips are destroyed for the next ten minutes. But by the end of freshman year ( this year) I'm hoping to be have a better high range beyond the D just above this C.

  • @MrTimochii its just a C...

  • @LiamusShakirus your an ass.... I'm in one of the smallest marching bands in the nation. We dont really have as much experience with good music because we havnt got to play it. Shit, im in highschool and our director still makes us play middle school music. sigh

  • @MrTimochii we have 6 members last year 4

  • @MrTimochii Well the first problem is the fact that you say that youre in one of the smallest marching bands in the nation. and the guy wasnt being an ass

  • @firehawk801 i can't hit the high C and i still liked it :)

  • @firehawk801 Nobody can

  • @guitarhero1346 Youre a straight up moron.

  • @Joey10Thompson10 Coming from one who puts no apostrophe in the word "you're".

  • @firehawk801 C above staff, or double C (on bass clef)?

  • @Skratche17 Bass clef double C

  • @firehawk801 Well damn, that's high...

  • @Skratche17 Not first ledger line C, an octave above that. The last note he plays.

  • @guitarhero1346 Yes, I gathered that.

  • @firehawk801 The fact that I can't hit it is why I liked it

  • @firehawk801 You mean 222222222222222222222222222222­2222222222 people cant hit that high C like david

    LOL

  • @firehawk801 i can get a high c, but its really sloppy sounding and hard to do

  • @firehawk801 I did it on trombone today in Jazz band. :D

    A large bore euphonium is slightly more difficult (I could squeak it out).

  • @VikingatYggdrasil Haha, I actually found an arrangement of this piece in e flat online and played it for Solo and Ensemble. Had to hit the double C, and it sounded amazing. Got a distinguished:D

    Turns out the note he hits in this video isn't a double C though XD

  • @firehawk801 I recently got a Cerveny CEP531 rotary valve oval euphonium and I actually have a broader range on it (probably due to the mouthpiece in combination with the design) by about 3 or 4 tones. That high C isn't hard to hit, it just isn't easy to hit spot on first try after playing quick runs of other notes.

  • I love gabriel's euphonium

    

  • Someday grace... someday.......

  • God his playing actually makes me want to marry him and have little euphonium babies :p

  • It doesn't get any better than this!!

  • 20 jealous people are playing the violin

  • David Childs is a GOD

  • They should just call this "Gabriel's Euphonium" from now on.

  • @elysiumx2 How about "David's Euphonium"

  • I love this, this has been in my favorites for awhile. He is an amazing Euphonium player. I just don't like the "closed" sound but it's apparently common in everywhere but America(we love an "open" sound). But he is still one of the most amazing and in my eyes Top Euphonium players of all time, tied with his father even!

  • ...the epitome of a euphonium player. I've stuck with the euphonium since the fifth grade just to acheive this very tone quality and level of musical ability.

  • simply its awesome..better than oboe solo,,,

  • Wow. Perfect, fantastic.

  • 334334 views!

  • Just him, David Childs !

  • Does anyone know the exact arrangement he plays here???

  • 17 people don't understand why there is a euphonium player playing an oboe song...

    This is one of the best videos on YouTube. Period.

  • 17 people are oboe players that are mad that a euphonium player can play Gabriel's

    OBOE better than they can. By the way David Child's will save the world one day with the power of his euphonium:)

  • 17 people are oboe players that are mad that a euphonium player can play Gabriel's

  • 17 people play the oboe and are mad because a euphonium player can play Gabriel's OBOE better than they can.By the way David Childs is a beast.

  • GOD. DANG. AND CHRIST ALMIGHTY. im sad now :(

  • how could he turn out anything but amazing with a dad like bob childs and an uncle like nick childs?

  • he makes it seem so easy

  • @wwehalomixer for the record, the last note is a d, not a d#

  • @euphoniumtillidie

    Actually the last note is a double C, and he plays it open because it is an alternate fingering. (Extreme notes up there have a lot of different fingerings). The last four notes are C, G, E, C. This version he played is in the key of C, so if anyone wants to play, just start in the beginning with a middle G and feel your way around :). Euphonium's are represented in this fine performance!

  • @minuvera like you said, that is only your opinion and this is mine. I feel like oboe's can sound a bit piercing tbh, and I think an awful lot of emotion can be put into the euphonium! I much prefer it on euphonium but that is only my opinion :)

  • I wish my high D # sounded in tune

  • @wwehalomixer get a euphonium with a tuning slide trigger. him, steven mead, and several others have one. 

  • Its funny that string orchestras spend half their time tuning and the other half playing out of tune

  • IDK this may just be my opinion, but I certainly feel he is very talented and played this great. I just feel it sounds so much better on oboe. I feel that the oboist can be a lot more expressive on this piece (a good oboist). And the nature of the euphonium leaves it a little heavy. This just doesn't give me the same feeling that it does when Carlo Romano plays it on the oboe (as it was intended).

    Sorry, in short... my rant is I HATE it when other instruments play this OBOE piece.

  • That made my heart melt.

  • 2:41-2:50

  • one day, ill be like him..... ok not really.

  • best damn instrument ever..

  • only one word can describe this.. AMAZING!

    

  • This is FANTASTIC!

  • 17 people are trumpet players.

  • where can i get the music for this song for free?

  • @juniper1021

    torrent, you can find anything music from anywhere in the world lol.

  • I play Euphonium and I can play this song. But not as beutiful as him.

  • To keep that note at the end in that sort of clarity is something I've been striving to do for a very long time.

    David Childs is beautiful!

  • Beautiful

  • It's an outside concert Dims. If you've ever heard this guy perform live you wouldn't think that. He's anything but subdued.

  • His sound is really subdued; he plays it like a nervous trombonist. I don't know why he doesn't put more air through the thing; euphoniums sound most beautiful at about mezzo forte.

  • @dimsimlord Can you show me an example of you doing it then?

  • @sk8erboy618

    Did I say I could play better than him?

  • AH---MAY----ZING!!

  • those 17 people who disliked this video are obvioulsy trombone players who can't play the euphonium!

  • @peytonjmusic euphonium is the best instrument ever

  • @KaoTiiKxHunter Daayyyyuuummmm right!!!!

  • @peytonjmusic Or the trombone!

  • Why do I suck so bad.... Everyone I know personally sucks ballz at the baritone :(

  • I can only hope to be a fraction as good as him on my euphonium someday.

  • @Fooballfreak12 shoot for the stars bro

  • This literally gave me shivers. You listen to someone like David Childs playing unbelievably quick pieces of music and think, how on earth does he do that, and I feel exactly the same about this! Such a simple tune made unbelievable by such a great player, with an amazing sound, and he's also a great guy! He has a whole lot of time for people!

  • 17 people dasn't have good ears !!

  • @mitslein96 i like this video, but at least those people might be able to spell...

  • The euphonium is a truely remarkable instrament. David has masterd his beatifull tone. . . .I'm jealous :P

  • i play the bass clarine, and double bass. when i hear a recording of another instrument i love played this well, it makes me think i chose the wrong instrument. beautiful.

  • when was the last time I heard such a beautiful piece of music? I just can't remember...

  • 16 ppl don't know that this is how a euphonium is supposed to sound.

  • i learned how to play this from lookingh at the fingerings of this vid and some other one

  • wow..... SUPER AMAZING

  • i wanna cry after hearing this:,) It's sooo good.

  • great

  • just exceptional!

  • the euphonium has a beautiful sound; it reminds me of the French Horn, to a certain extent,

  • @dashsoulable mr ng kok hin no.1

  • @dashsoulable aiyoooo so sad~~~

  • @dashsoulable can you even play this piece?

  • Childs is one hell of a Euphonium player how anyone could dislike anything he plays is beyond me, he plays beautifully.

  • I've grown up listening to the Childs Legacy if you will..and while I'm a Roger Behrend fan, you simply cannot deny the elegance and passion that all of the Childs performers bring to the euphonium.

  • It was an honor to see this man play in person. I saw him in his first American performance and he was just magical! I can't even begin to describe how much he is an inspiration to me as a euphonium player and a performer. And he's such a nice guy too. I can honestly say that David Childs is one of my hero's.

  • @dashsoulable "angry face''

  • I don't know how 15 People can dislike this guy? He's remarkable!!

    

  • @7rsEuphonium he's better than those 17 people, and they hold it against him.

  • @7rsEuphonium They must be woodwind players lol

  • @666MusicIsLife666 I'm a saxophonist and I love the euphonium!

  • @7rsEuphonium They Jealous!!!!!

  • @7rsEuphonium probably oboe players disliking it lol

  • This is FANTASTIC! I play the euphonium as well (4 valves)! I'm not half as good as this guy! I've been playing since sophmore year (I'm currently a senior) . Hopefully in the future I will purchase one of my own and continue to play. BAND GEEKS...UNITE!!!

  • *shocked face*

  • I love this guy! He is my role mod
