THE F WORD FOR BASSOON

- It's time to talk about the number one thing I always get asked as a bassoonist! Time to settle it once and for all. Don't take this too seriously it's mostly for fun. Mostly.

I can't believe you're 43. Also we need more videos like this.
I thought he's like 23
If he had access to Google translate in 6th grade then there's no way he's 43
Other languages: exist
English speakers: THAT'S A SLURR
"I remember when I first found out about the bassoon's real name. I was in sixth grade..." Oh... no...
It got progressively more intense and I lost it after CORNO
I’m dying, thank you for starting this conversation 🤣🤣
The French for "oboe" is spelled exactly the same as the German (which is undoubtedly where German got it), and it literally means "high wood". ("Basson", incidentally, literally means "low sound". "Bas son".) But "hautbois" in French isn't pronounced "hotboy". It's pronounced almost exactly the same as the English word. The second syllable is a little different -- "oh-bwah". French has a lot of silent (or nearly silent) letters.
Both German and English got it from the French
You cannot expect me to believe you're in your 40s. I can believe mid 20s, max.
😁
I was sceptic to your channel but editing was so good and the humour was totally like mine so I’ve subscribed 🤩
Yay! Thank you!
I am hear to tell you, 5 months later, that you have misspelled “skeptic”. Man, I’m glad I was here to correct you, otherwise you would have gone your entire life without knowing. Glad I could help.👍
@@Mr.-the-Mr.-Mr.Sceptic is the British spelling.
It's always a funny thing, even as a German when we say, that we play the Fagott, people knowing the F-word are giggling.
Besides, if I may, there must have been a mix-up: in German the oboe is also called Oboe, Hautbois is french :) which is a bit funny too, cause it literally means "high wood"... chrm.
Lol. When you brought out the trombone, I first thought that you were going to bring up the sackbut. I was a bassoon player in high school, but now my main instrument is viola, and the German word for that is Bratsche...which makes one think that we're a bunch of brats, but it's actually derived from the Italian "viola da braccio" (arm) as a distinction from "viola da gamba" (leg). But maybe we are also brats.
Thanks for the history behind “Bratsche.” I grew up as a recorder and flute player, but later in life I picked up the bassoon. If I were to choose a string instrument, it’d be the viola. I love its sound - and it’s so close to the tenor voice. (-:
Spanish Speaker here, when I was younger my mom told me that the reason the food Flauta has the same name as the instrument is because you blow into it like a flute to cool it down. Now you might be thinking to yourself "But you don't blow into the the same way" well that may come as a result of the flute and recorder both being given the name Flauta.
The RV484 in the back makes me happy
I don't need to imagine it because I play the oboe 😂. After watching this video I won't be able to stop laughing every time I hear the name of my instrument. Worst of all, a fellow musician made a pun of his name and the oboe in German for his social media and used a photo of him without a shirt, now I understand everything🤣. And yes, it's funny that the bassoon looks like a stretch of tied branches. 10/10 your video👍🏻😆
Excuse me if my translation is not very accurate but I am one of the people who calls flutes “flautas”
The trombone used to be called a “sackbut” Not kidding
Meanwhile the English horn being French and the French horn being German 0_0
For context I'm a male oboe player:)
I'm a trombonist and it originated in England around the 1500s and trombone is roughly Italian for big trumpet
I remember doing one of this intro/about me slideshows for my Spanish speakers class and wanting to put that I played bassoon so I went onto trusty google translate and learned it translated to Fagot, even though I can technically say that I still wrote Bassoon
The title is 'Symphony no. 6 in B minor' !
Moving from Germany to France with my instrument, I had to learn that both words are used - and it is not exactly the same instrument either. The French "basson" has different fingering and sounds slightly more nasal than the bassoon (not daring to use the German word here😏). Thanks for the funny explanation. By the way, in today's French, "f**ot" is still a bundle of sticks.... and on a similar subject: In 8th grade I attended a US school and turned up at band practice with my "recorder" since the school's dictionary provided "flute" for "Flöte".😕
This is really great stuff! Bundle of sticks!!..... as fuel!! Yes!!
When i found out the name in Germam, i looked at my band director and was like "Its me!*
i got banned from an English server for accidentally saying the German name
I had to laugh when I heard your pronouncation of our German "Posaune", because with you it sounded quite dirty and remembered of a word in porn language. When pronouncing the German "au", it's like the English "ow" or "oww" in the longer form.
I knew the flute one
Vivaldi RV 484 in the background
A certified hood classic
I’m a bassoonist lol. Played it for my junior recital. Got my degree in Bassoon Performance
The french pronociation is the better
And by the way, there is two type of bassoon: the french bassoon and thé German bassoon
Oboe or Hautbois in French is pronounced: How-t-Bwu-awww
Also a Bassoonist here, I never made the foreign language joke of bundle of sticks 'actually' meaning a homosexual. I made it my business to look up the pronunciation and be educated instead of being vulgar for comedic effect. Mostly these days I bring my instrument out to do the Christmas Volunteer Orchestra that gets together for my church and I do have some nice parts as a result.
I've also picked up Pipe Organ too and enjoy them both for different reasons. Bassoon if I want to have the nice solos or passages in orchestral music and Organ if I really want to show off.
That Bolero Video You Posted Was Funny
Is that really why everybody was questioning. I’m Puerto Rican and in Spanish we call it Fagot instead of Bassoon.
hautbois is french. in german its also just called oboe
Ah the german name for Bassoon really is amazing.
But its alr, a decent amount of musicians are rather fruity
Nah. In german we just say "oboe"
Hautbois and Bubens 😍🥴
In Dutch there's fagot (with the g pronounced like the ch in loch ness) and hobo (like the homeless person) for oboe.
In Spanish is also said fagot. I didn't know it meant that!
in dutch the oboe is called a hobo
Acá en Latinoamérica se le llama Fagot, como en Alemania pero con una *t* menos
Of course it had to be the time I go to an honor band 😭
hey what a coincidence are you at my honor band?
@@jamiebullshit depends if it’s GCBDA or not
@@Bassoonist09 it’s not :/. i do have five bassoons in my section though.
@@jamiebullshit Jeez there’s only two bassoons in mine
*It's missing an O, not an S. Basson
cant believe im a bassoon.
Heyyy
you look 20. what are you talking about
No way you're in your 40s
YOURE 43????????
