Elliot Griffis - A Thought (Pensée) (1936)
Просмотров 652 месяца назад
Elliot Griffis (1893-1967) was an American composer from Boston. A student of Horatio Parker, George Whitefield Chadwick and others, Griffis maintained a traditional voice in a time when American composers were adopting more modernist approaches, though his works were finely crafted and came from an earnest source. This brief work was published as a teaching piece by the St. Louis-based Art Pub...

Hamish MacCunn (1868-1916) was a Scottish composer, conductor and pedagogue. He achieved success as a composer early on with his first opera and a symphonic poem, but none of his subsequent compositions received the same attention, and he was mostly known as a conductor of opera companies, working with Sir Thomas Beecham, and teaching at Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music.

Ernest Austin (1874-1947) was an English composer. He was mostly self-taught, starting adulthood in business and transitioning to music full-time by his 30s. His orchestral works and songs were highly regarded in his day, though today his music is little-remembered, aside from his organ works, such as his monumental solo organ cycle based on The Pilgrim's Progress. He composed a substantial num...

Using the D side of my 1909 York alto horn to play some Mozart. The horn was built in high pitch with an extra bit of tubing to put it in low pitch, but it's more of a full semitone. By pulling the main tuning slide out quite far, you can play in low pitch Eb and D!

My best guess is that he was a Swedish immigrant to the United States, or born to Swedish immigrants, and lived in St. Paul, MN - piecing info together, I found a likely lifespan of 1883-1938, with a burial in St. Paul. Two piano pieces of his were published in the...

    • @ParkingWithoutTheA
      @ParkingWithoutTheA 2 месяца назад

      think of it more like if someone took an alto-pitched flugelhorn and wrapped it to look like a horn. Most of the time the French horn (main orchestral horn) hangs out in the alto range, high in the partials, but can go lower than a normal 3-valve brass instrument. This horn is in the partials most valved brass hangs out in but pitched alto, and sonically can fit into a French horn role (if you squint your ears).

    • @user-sk1eh3pg6j
      @user-sk1eh3pg6j Месяц назад

      You are asking if it is pitched in Eb Alto. The answer is yes. To keep it simple, refer to the fundamental pitches by their names and corresponding numbers. Concert French Horns are usually pitched in Double F or FF Contra-Alto. You can call it FF Bass. Same pitch, different name. It is doubled, because it is the second Concert F pitch below Middle C. And it is Contra-Alto (1 octave below Alto) because it is exactly one octave lower than F Alto. Some people incorrectly call it "low F". That pitch is numbered F-1. When you say low this or high that, people get confused. Use the correct name or number for the pitch. This is Eb Alto or Eb-2.

      @@carlostejeda330 I'm not sure, but I'm guessing a European shank mouthpiece would be the way to go. The mouthpiece that came with the horn is definitely not an American shank. However, it doesn't go too far in, and I don't have a "normal" European mouthpiece to test with, so I don't know if the tuba's receiver is too small or if the mouthpiece's shank is too big. It still works, so no complaints, but I do wonder.

    Sounds fantastic big dawg. What kind of mouthpiece do you use for that? I play a soprano and bass trombone, and I'm thinking about getting the Chinese copy of this to bridge the gap. I also play alto horn, so I'm a bit confused why Alto trombone players use much larger mouthpieces generally than the alto horn counterparts. It's strange to me because usually brighter sounding instruments within the same voice use slightly smaller mouthpieces than their conical bore cousins.

      I'd be interested to try a new mouthpiece with this, partially because the shank probably fits better. The mouthpiece I was gifted has a weird shank size, in between trumpet and cornet, and wasn't made by the same company. Every now and then I look around for an original Olds mellophone mouthpiece, but I have yet to find one for sale. From what little I know of mellophone mouthpieces, modern ones look a bit more like trumpet mouthpieces than this one does, but that's just from the outside.

      All I meant by that is that trumpets aren't particularly "blendy" instruments. Alto and bass trumpets are actually more blendy than "normal" trumpets, so perhaps my comment was unwarranted, but they aren't far off from valved tenor and alto trombones. I would love it if there were more valved alto trombones in existence. I tried a Conn valved alto a friend lent me and it was amazing. Check out my videos with it for what it sounds like.
