David Childs (Euphonium) - Brillante (P. Graham)

[jmueller200]

I hate music that is about performing tricks rather than melody and harmony. I guess it is really hard writing good stuff. I will keep looking.

[TheBlueRickey]

Is that theme @2:01 from another song? Sounds familiar. lol

[JorgEuphonium]

@TheBlueRickey Rule Britannia :P

[davmej92]

espectacularr!!!!!!!  :D

[adzeuph5]

did a gig with my brass band with david last september. we played this... when we all played the last note ..IT FELT SO GOOD! :D

[videofanYT00]

1:20 was that Multiphonics? 

[TheBravedigger]

well chosen title, I must say

[chitosanelg]

astig!! =)



[VioLynn0803]

@CharlieRutlage so, now i expect you to post a video of you playing it better. ...?

[marktremontirules1]

@VioLynn0803 just because you can't spell spaghetti doesn't mean he can't tell you if it tastes like crap.

[VioLynn0803]

55,000 + views, and NO ONE can say they disliked it. that's how AWESOME he is.

[euph0ny]

Here's another beauty from the Maestro............

[BlkKnt69]

2.80

[TheJoeistall00]

0 people are-........oh wait, never mind :D

we're all smart

[hysteria544]

Damn. those pedal tones... he is my hero.

[extremebandgeek22]

MULTI PHONICS!!!!!!!!

[1cy1nferno]

Multiphonics @ 1:19 = EPIC WIN

[MrTucky123]

wow.. i am david`s bigest fan!!!!

[DarkFlames23]

Sounds so amazing. Hopefully I will be that great on euphonium. :D

[TenaciousD872]

Total Legend of the Euphonium. Nice bloke too!!

[juiceboxbot]

all i have to say is WOW.......

[XtremeEuph]

i wish i could play that high so consistently, it doesnt even seem like he takes may breaths...or even big ones at that...so frustrating ..jealousy meter is broken

[Robspencer123]

I play in the Gwent Youth Band and a few weeks back we had a concert with Bob Childs conducting us and Dave Childs as guest soloist. He was absoutely amazing as always and fully deserves his title of best Euphonium player in the world. :)

[Joey10Thompson10]

why cant you like a video more than once?

[bananalover911]

omj! what euphonium brand does he have?! :O

[JorgEuphonium]

@bananalover911 In this video a Besson Prestige. Now he plays a York Eminence

[cezza92]

@JorgEuphonium back to besson now :)

[brownellz1]

@JorgEuphonium he still plays on a besson prestige according to his website

[Joey10Thompson10]

@JorgEuphonium he's back on besson

[JorgEuphonium]

@Joey10Thompson10 yes, I know it!

[JoelinApex]

@bananalover911 Now he is going back to Besson!

[Patricinho92]

Ohne worte ...

[brazen52]

he is a sexy man beast!

[zhumenglou]

i wanna be like him, i hope someone teach me to be a better player like him, please...

[Dawgtodd]

Yes that note on at the end is an E flat just so you know a concert E flat is a Euphonium E flat they are the same it is tuned to Bb but it sounds concert pitch it is confusing but just look it up.

[olliea123]

@Dawgtodd

that's only when they play in bass clef, in brass bands they play Bb treble clef, so music has to be written a second above, it ends on super F :)

[euph0ny]

@Dawgtodd

Actually, a concert Eb is a Db on a euphonium. As the euphonium is tuned to Bb and concert pitch is by definition a C, you need to play a note a full tone higher than the corresponding concert note to be in synchronicity

[lhadnesoRR]

@euph0ny yeah, so a concert Eb is a F on euphonium and not a Db...

[marktremontirules1]

@euph0ny but the thing is, it's a Bb instrument, but it reads in C. so if you see a Bb in the bass clef staff of course, and play a Bb, it sounds a Bb.

[zhumenglou]

@HornHead305

why did you hate him?

[HornHead305]

this man is beast

[iceb9]

well you guys have to practice the instrument for 3 hour or 30 minute

[dani92396]

hese fatter in this video......just saying ......lol he is the all time best and i hope to be like him 1 day

[daffyduck12345678912]

Hes playing this my my youth band in Cardiff next week!

[dani92396]

dude you got to be the luckiest guy on earth!!!!!!ive looked up to this guy when i first played euophonium please send mi a picture!!!!!!

[giantsforlife73]

this guy is a beast no other euphonium player has anything on him

[TheRevelation0]

David Child's is probably the best euphonium player I've ever heard. (Nice ending)

[giantsforlife73]

@TheRevelation0 amen to that

[alextamuk]

this is actually one of my favorite solos im doing it for my drum corps i&e solo this coming summer, half of this one and half of rule britannia by hartman

[lhadnesoRR]

The last note is a Concert Eb, and for the euphonium F

[rcb1117]

that's cool when he sings into his euphonium while playing it at about 1:20.

[alphadeano]

hes not as good as his dad, but still amazing

[BbBaritone88]

No, he's better.

[Joey10Thompson10]

@alphadeano he is as good as his dad

[stefanpalen96]

@Joey10Thompson10 I know wish I could sound like that

[Omgshoes017]

@alphadeano how is that possible????????

[ErosBombardino]

improvisa demasiado pero mola (H)

[greghicksUS]

Holy SHIT O.O

[kyuubisharinan3296]

@greghicksUS nothing compared to his flight of the bumble bee.

[Joey10Thompson10]

@kyuubisharinan3296 yes it is

[theoldironcollector]

I just got this piece of music and it is HARD!!!!!! But I'm getting there.

Thanks for uploading this

[natesofresh]

where do u buy this i wanna play it

[euph91]

Which tone is his last one?

[picklemeister17]

E flat

[Aotearoaredhead]

He plays up to concert F earlier in the piece with sustained tone, more than once.

[ranselbak]

F it is

[theoldironcollector]

A flat

[theoldironcollector]

Actually it is high C

[alextamuk]

the end of the cadenza before the theme is an F concert

[HolyEupho]

nope its high Eb.

[andymanscar]

@euph91 It's clearly a Insanely high E flat, if you know tones by ear

[Jim91010]

Wow...Amazing tone quality! We (Golden State British Brass Band) are playing two shows with him at the end of the month and this piece is on the program!

[tubademon999]

I was there at SWRTEC and saw that concert. You guys were amazing alongside the great David Childs. I wish I could have gone to the second concert that following night.

[MtAkIcKsAsS]

at 3:13 it sounds so french lol

[MtAkIcKsAsS]

holy crap at 1:22 he plays two notes at the same time

[asherg3]

It might be multiphonics

[rnabes4sosu]

it is multiphonics

[1234567eddy]

haha its only multiphonics ... you sing a note an 8th above the noth you are playing

[Aotearoaredhead]

It's actually a 10th, he is playing concert F and singing concert A

[Emuman16]

even when he does mess up it sounds awesome. his messing-up tone is better than mine is normally

[indiansalesman]

Euphomann u suck at playing the eupho so shut up. YOU ROCK DAVID CHILDS

[brassrulz111]

no one has the right to comment on his one mistake, unless that can play it faultless,

[Lucavii]

David Childs is one of my musical idols. I try to mimic his solid graceful sound whenever I play my own Euph. I'm not where near his skill level. But one day.... one day.

[amirahoneypie]

i'm sure you can. not saying i can, but it sure feels great to have someone you admire to think of, yea? ;D

[Lucavii]

It keeps me going on the days that I am fighting with my horn. Knowing that one day I'll make music as beautiful as this.

[amirahoneypie]

all the best to you then!

[zin0via]

Even the best go down sometimes, too. It only makes me feel less nervous thinking that even he makes mistakes, too. I love the Euphonium. I love listening to them, and I love playing them.

[Muggenjan]

David Childs ? Fuck yeah....!

[helburr]

This piece is plain awesome!

[wozniacki15]

the breakdown at 3:32 is my favorite part of the whole song it sounds sad but beautiful!

[dcalvinho]

hermoso :)

[2MuchSkill]

3:56 screw up

HAHA

i found one

[ericlawhammer]

ahh i heard it, nut it wasn't that big of a deal. like he doesnt lose anyof the respect i already have for him.

[ericlawhammer]

but*

[DJmcRUSH]

That is not a musical mistake it's a mistake that he took a breath there, when he obviously shouldn't have.

[euphomann]

its not event that he took a breath where he shouldn't have..its just that the noted didn't come out completely centred..thats all

[lhadnesoRR]

Not a real big mistake for this performence ^^

[wozniacki15]

nobody is perfect just know that.

[euphomann]

its not even that he took a breath where he shouldn't have..the note just didnt come out centred..thats all

[dozytubaplayer]

Don't u think ur being ever so slightly pathetic? Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Even the best.

[2MuchSkill]

thats why i said "haha"

[VodkaYum]

I wish it was possible to take a look behind the mouthpiece in slow-mo and figure out exactly how he does it....amazing!!!

[cobaltslayer]

lol I know this is old but I was having a similar thought yesterday. I thought it would be cool to have like an x-ray video of his face while he's playing so you could see his tongue and stuff.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought about something like that. lol

[wizman551]

@VodkaYum and it is memorized that is just.... it makes me shudder just thinking about it.

[XtremeEuph]

@VodkaYum yeah i know its frustrating lol

[pulpfiction2]

just brilliant!!!

[wildcateuphonium]

AMAZING!

[ptsshhh]

I just can't understand how a tiny three year old is able to play a euphonium.

[Emuman16]

I bought the music to this recently... its hard as crap and he actually improvises some of this... dang he's good.

[wallstore]

I'd say that he's skilled:D

[alextamuk]

i think thats an understatement... then again hes only been playing seen he was 3 O_o

[euphoniumD1]

Awesome
