Duet Euphonium - Timepiece

[jcd484]

ALL EUPHOINUMS ARE BEST!!!!

[ral1988]

The difference really goes back to the fundamental principles of the two instruments. A euphonium is conical bore and a baritone is cylindrical bore. Either one can be 3-4 (or more) valve - every brass instrument has it's flaws in design. The only perfect brass instrument would be a valve for every pitch.

[Philbatrom]

@ral1988

The trombone, i would say, is perfect in design.

Also, many people say that it mimics the human voice..

it also has a range in every register..

[ral1988]

@Philbatrom For pitch I would agree. In other aspects I would say there are inherited disadvantages.

[guthoriantony]

@Philbatrom lol posting that on a euphonium duet video lol! i donno i like trombone but its way too easy and the slide is inaccurate i mean its so much easier to be out of tune.. i like it but euphonium is a blessing!

[marktremontirules1]

@Philbatrom the euph is meant to imitate a cello.

[alexpwatkins]

@marktremontirules1 I'd think that euphonium is its own breed a combo of F horn, Tuba, T-bone

[frysboppe]

They both have the same music. Not 1 low and 1 high.

[Euphernonium]

it could be a band piece with solo euphonium rather than solo euphonium with band.......which means that the splits would be written in, and you can hear it a lot of the times and sometimes they play in octaves

[Euphist24]

I thought this piece was great!!! ... We have five euphs in our concert band, and plenty more coming up through the juniors after us. And still we get called mini-tubas and baritones.... IGNORANCE!!!!!!

[nintendude1994]

what is the exact difference between a euphonium and baritone? is it the valves?

[Euphist24]

The euphonium's a cousin of the baritone, but it's bigger, with a larger bell and bore, and has a broader sound. Baritones have three valves, but euphs can have three or four (the fourth helps to compensate for a natural fault in the instrument's harmonics). Instrument manufacturers mixed the names up (calling their better models euphoniums) and that helped to confuse things a lot.

[bassoprimo]

Baritones have 3, Euphs 3 or 4 valves... yes, of course, very true, except for those Baritones with FOUR valves! ;-)

[benuk05]

bar 7 & 8 are pretty out of time there, section F is pretty rough. Great work from n N through to P.

But please tell me what was this that ending, It stuffed the whole piece up for me. Why did you play what was written??

[happylittledonky]

Awesome. Stayin true to the Salvo style with the ancient looking compensators? Hey nothing wrong with that, you guys are awesome. :)

[summer10941]

Rock on Euphoniums!!!!!!

:)

[eila2403]

i play euphonium.....but in japan euphonium is useless,they prefer 2 use marching trombone ...

[chris47watson]

booo! euphoniums are soooo much cooler!

[ssssssssss12]

ya chris47watson your right!

[BCHSBARITONE]

I just went to china 2007 with my marching band-Barron collier high school, it was awesome. We didnt go to Hong Kong though, we went mostly to Bejieng and wow you guys sound GREAT!!!!!Cool run too

[deltasushi]

i have been 1st chair all year in my band euphonium rocks

[chris47watson]

deltasushi...1st chair euphonium? its so rare you see more than 1 euphonium player in a band...i guess you could say the same about me :)

[yesoayesoa4]

me too

[Mitsu1021]

We had three last year, would have had four but one senior wanted to play trombone...the euphonium is so neglected eh?..Oh well.. less competition on those all state auditions lol.

[euphoniumtillidie]

not in the salvation army its not! At tyb there was 6 euphs! At most music school there is 2 or 3 euphs! in the isb there is 2

[InfernoDrag0n]

im the only one in my band =(

[wallynator49]

lucky. i would wanted that for me. i get to learn to play more better than to learn to play with someone. also get more better as an individual in sight reading.

[theblop]

guys!!! guess what i play euphonium and i got 1st chair in junior districts.. 8th grade... i luv this song!

[Bigshot53]

euph players r the best!!!

[MATTMANX1987]

rock on man.

LONG THE EUPHONIUM!!!

[lmeister3]

Nice

[Ampeg567]

Oh, how I love the sound of a euphonium...

[wulfzord]

the sound is beautiful, really miss playing that instrument.

[ddswen]

Hooray! Awesome job David & Chris!

[guitargirl33]

this isnt the place to advertise pervert

[tamtaxaudio]

you ruined a really good piece to make an american-ified version of a wonderful euphonium solo "grandfather's clock". i can assure you, the british version is better. If you would like a listen then get hold of me!

Nick

[euphfellowship]

This duet was written by the British Salvation Army composer Norman Bearcroft, I believe during his stead as the Canadian Staff Band master - in all likelihood it was written for Curtis Metcalf and Major Bill Brown. And this is a GREAT duet! The best recording that exists is the London Citadel Band accompanying Robert and Nick Childs on "The Song of the Brother" CD (I believe which is now sold out) back in 1994.

[kerrodluvsyogi]

One of the greatest Salvation Army composers in my opinion. Wrote many wonderful pieces (and some not so wonderful :P ).

[Jojojoman]

what is it for a band??

is it the isb or maybe the asb?

[guthoriantony]

*claps hardcore like* god damn awsome!!

[maqnuz]

Thats a really bad version of the beautiful piece Grandfathers clock !

[teflonde]

Hi all,

Could you please demonstrate some cornet expertise ( perhaps a solo with variations etc) within your most excellent band?

I look forward your rendition.

Cheers

John

[teflonde]

Most enjoyable.

Thanks,

John

[cbudd35]

Beautiful

[StephdeMeth84630]

Wow, i only just read the comment on this - Kevin Larsson is married to my old bandmaster's daughter! That is so cool.

[perfectomon]

Me too! I hate it when people think that the baritone and euphonium are the same thing. The word itself sounds like something that slips out of the rectal cuttage. I used to play the baritone, but thankfully for my seventeenth birthday, I got a silver euphonium...I cried.

Anyway, back to the video: this was very good. I can see myself playing this with the other euphoniumist at school, but he's probably not good enough.

[euphfellowship]

This is Timepiece, written by Norman Bearcroft and re-arranged later (to make it readable) by Peter Graham. And there is no such thing as a euphonium in C...there used to be "high pitched" instruments, but they were all like that and about 98% of them were converted to low pitch a looooong time ago.

[KurtNilsen]

yes there are C euphoniums

[ajb32690]

I am also a euphonium player, and ppl always ask me why i play such a wierd instrument and not something like a trombone or a trumpet, and i tell them, because the euphonium is so unique and produces such a beautiful sound that i have just completely fallen in love with it

[Blagga88]

I love my euphonium....and I must admit that I do get tired of explaining what a Euphonium is...and NO a Baritone and a Euphonium are NOT THE SAME!..I hate that assumption.

[s0comst3ve]

this song reminds me of Believe me if all those endearing young charms, i have a recording of it as a duet.

[hauntedmansion88]

Is it just me or does the mouthpiece on the lacquered horn look awful small?

[ultr4]

agreed! i also Love Horns Sound

[MoreThanHeroez]

Being a euphonist myself, this makes me smile. I can play any brass instrument I get my hands on very well, but I love euph. Why? Best sound ever.

This is wonderful.

[Geadenea]

Theres no other instrument which what you can sing like with euphonium/baritone (Or Tenorhorn/Bariton for germany/eastern europe)

[bariguru]

agreed!

[Reggie256]

I disagree - the Flugel Horn "sings" too, in the right hands ;)

[Savannahhighsax]

THe Eupphonium has such a beautiful sound.

[bariguru]

agreed!

[oufan092]

good euphonium, u should check some of my vids just type in nimitz high marching band

[DrBones2]

Wow! So many brass players, personally I play Trombone and Bass Trumpet, and have been neglecting my Euphonium of late......what a sound.

[s0comst3ve]

Cool, i like this song, the chords are cool, the euphonium needs to be more publicized, i hate explaining to people when they ask what i play what a euphonium is.. sigh

[oldmanbassoon]

Really? I love explaining to everyone what a bassoon is when they ask what I play. Or euphonium, when they ask what else I play.

[alexilupin]

LOL I once told someone I layed the Euhonium and they said "Bless you." They thought I'd SNEEZED. =D

I don't mind explaining, but it gets difficult if it's someone who doesn't even know what a Tuba is.

[orangeparade]

and the duo does beautiful chords!

[orangeparade]

wee..i'm a euphoniumist too! but when i play high notes i sound more like a french horn. lols.

[ultr4]

You play Euphonium in C or in Bb. Euphonium in C sounds as a horn in high notes, you need a Compensating System Euphonium in Bb, and you will get a real Euphonium Sound.

[Epicuricon]

Wouldn't it be the pa :noquestionmark:

I know him too and he's better than these guys. He plays the two voices on one Euphonium! :yesyes:

[bariguru]

multiphonics! Nice. I'm still working on that myself

[Corvus27]

A friend of mine plays the Euphonium. He's awesome too :yesexactly:

[AkiAmeko]

I'd like to know as well! Euphonium is awesome. ^^

[Johnnycmfai]

Sorry! I don't know, but I will try to find this music composer.

[ErikRP]

Not sure if you found out the name of the composer, but it's Norman Bearcroft.

[adamfyn]

@Johnnycmfai Norman Bearcroft

[bariguru]

Finally! A Euphonium video! And a great one at that!! Who composed this? I'd like to try it
