Hi, thanks for your message and well done on choosing the baritone! 👍 In brass and fanfare band the baritone parts are normally written in treble clef as well as solo pieces. But I do read base clef and any transpositions if required f.e. from horn or trombone parts.

​@@leenvandenhende Thanks Leen, I didn't realise that. I was playing mainly in bass clef and occasionally in treble so will change that around 😊 Please keep releasing more beautiful music!

It’s the Sam Smith version available on musicnotes 😉

My experience is that "serious" music students are steered away from both instruments in favor of the trombone or tuba on the theory that it is hard to make a living as a professional baritonist/euphonist. I play baritone, so the only reason why they let me into community orchestras is because I also play cello.

@@johnries5593 An apt observation. There are a bunch of standard jokes (of which I remember neither the set-ups nor the punch lines) about euphers and baritonists and they all have to do with the inability of both to make a living playing their instruments. In the US at least, perhaps what school band directors do is a kindness. There is a very finite number of college/university jobs for euphonium/baritone professors. And yes, playing cello does open more doors. Anyhow, Ms. Vandenhende's playing is spectacular and we can agree on that.

I'm a euph/bari player and have never understood the lack of solos for the bari ....well certainly compared to the euph , i just steal them off the euphs like this one .

Never give up! The Baritone Horn is not a very rewarding instrument. But if you get on and try to find your unique voice, it will pay off - in solo’s and ensemble. Try to listen to the obvious examples (Katrina Marzella, Mike Cavanagh, Bob Blackburn, Margie Sutherland, Sarah Lenton, Ashley Dixon, Susan Elizabeth Thomas… Nick Vermeiren and David Thornton (euph players who happen to be good baritone players as well) and record your own playing. This will help to become a star 🤩💪

@@leenvandenhendeHow do you get the scores. I would to play them as well (I play Baritone too).

😅🙏

Hello, thanks for your message 🙏 I play the Randefalk 4 baritone mouthpiece. For me it’s the best fit with my instrument. I tried almost all existing baritone mouthpieces and keep on testing new models and brands, but the RF baritone 4 is still the best for me. Good luck in finding the right mouthpiece for you 👍

Merci Jef 🙏😅

🙏🙏🙏🙏

The sounds of the two instruments are very similar.

@@johnries5593 Well, they can be. The baritone can overblow into a more brassy sound like a trombone easier, or into a pluckier sound for offbeats and other inner voice work a bit easier than the Euph. A great player can play on both sides of that spectrum

Hi, it’s published by Nero Music Press (Brenden Wheeler and Katrina Marzella).

Dag Paul, ik heb hier helaas geen bewerking van (had er mss beter toch een gemaakt, want krijg vaak de vraag 😅). Het is gewoon ingespeeld vanop de score van de baritone solo die je via PLC Music kan kopen en dan een toon hoger is getransponeerd. Succes 👍

🙏🙏

🙏 thx! Nice to hear you play the baritone too, keep on playing 💪👍
