yeah as a fellow bass clarinet, bass clarinets tend to have similar if not the same parts as the tuba, trombone, and just low brass in general, which is cool and all but it's even better when we get our own unique parts
I play baritone, and i can confirm you guys are way better at Arabesque then us because we just started playing this piece for a concert, we got 1st place last year with Olympiada on Wisconsin
finally someone made a tuba recording of this song, a tip (for Bb tuba) is the only time your gonna have the time to use 4 for C is measure 1-28, 74-78, and from 113-127 also something that helps in the beginning is having a sign that you have to take a breath so theres not a random pause.
I remember playing this as our competition piece for marching band my rookie year. The only thing different is it was called mirage but it is the exact same music!
@@godiemz8201not to be rude, but they aren’t even getting the right rhythm or notes. Not to talk about lack of musicality or phrasing. Saxophones are literally louder than woodwinds when they are backup for their parts😂
Don't know if you director/private lesson teacher told you not too, but if not; if you're going to puff up your cheeks make sure to keep your corners tight on your mouth. And like I said in the previous video, keep your face set during a rythem like or similar to: an eighth note followed by an eighth note repeating. Doing these things will drastically improve your responsivness, reduce cracking, and probably make your overall tone better; tuning too!
I know it's hard, but with your pedal, try and keep the volume as consistent as possible. Controlling your breath means using even more air, so stagger your beathing accordingly. If your being graded, this can be consequential.
Bro nobody but our advanced wind ensemble or maybe less advanced but still advanced symphonic band could pull this off unless we individually practiced
Some tips: Concentrate more on producing an even, smooth tone; there is no need to have a harsh or blatty or edgy sound. When stagger-breathing, work on each player fading out, getting a breath, and then fading back in with as little 'chiff' as possible when restarting the note.
i play the bass clarinet and i'm basically support for the bari sax player (which i'm friends with) there's another bass clarinetist in my band as well, i'm friends with him too but he can't really play i also play bass clarinet in jazz with 2nd tenor sax parts, planning on learning tenor, since i've already played alto sax
It's Arabesque by Samuel L. Hazo, you can find the score on the internet easily. I have it, but I can't send it here, otherwise I would be glad to ease out your job.
Literally nothing wrong with puffing your cheeks. It’s a myth nurtured by elitist musicians and traditionalists. If it helps the musician perform, then it is correct to utilize. In fact, it helps for some musicians to puff their cheeks on certain instruments. Especially lower winds like Tuba.
very well you guys! but to be honest, yall need some work on stagger breathing with eachother. another thing is yall need to work on tuning and intonation on the low notes. i hope that helps!
They have a different rhythm for some reason. Also it's marcato for every note and the extra rhythm is marked staccato and says "MP" for staccato, so they're playing it right.
oh really? it was horrible huh? oh, okay, so why dont you go pick up the tuba and play the song? *E X A C T L Y* you can't, so shut up, you can't be talking

Tuba is bae
reject modernity

@@justacheeto07 LMAO a fellow man of culture i see
i didnt realize people still performed this, makes me happy. great tone
I’m performing it for my next concert
On Tuba aswell
it shall be timeless
what makes you think theyll stop performing this?
My music teacher liked this piece so maybe we will play it
@@chengyyun idk man, whenever i gush abt smth i always assume its out of date
Lowkey flutes we’re selling so bad and just the high woodwinds in general 😭
fr
Litteraly carried the whole band like the tubas in my band could never
Treat the Tuba’s with TLC and they’ll go hard
Bass clarinet here, I am preforming this song for a concert, and it's surprising how similar tuba and bass clarinet parts are
Bass clarinet and tuba always have similar parts in my band😭😭
yeah as a fellow bass clarinet, bass clarinets tend to have similar if not the same parts as the tuba, trombone, and just low brass in general, which is cool and all but it's even better when we get our own unique parts
It’s because bass clarinet is treated like the wood wind tuba more than a bari sax and almost have similar key
They don’t have anywhere to put it
Thats normal for a lot of pieces
I play baritone, and i can confirm you guys are way better at Arabesque then us because we just started playing this piece for a concert, we got 1st place last year with Olympiada on Wisconsin
thanks for the support
omg same! i also play baritone! do you play baritone b.c or baritone tc?
@@ariclifton bc man am used to it
I also play baritone. I play b.c and t.c
@@rxvertvorzeyt6997 same
Used to play the Tuba from 1997 to 2001. We are really the back bone and the foundation of any music. Kudos guys!! Well played!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
as a trombone playert i really like having tuba helping us
Wish my bands tubas were this good💀 we are playing this right now for comp
Y’all even lucky you got tubas while over here we got tuba 💀✨
@@brodyquestionmark dang 🥲
The only low brass in my band are trombones.
No tuba,no euphonium,no baritone,just tenor trombones.
@@Octovoid no basses...? or at least bass clarinet??
I was addicted to this song back then in 2015 something. Glad I found this piece again in my YT recommendation again this year

We were going to play this but somehow our flutes kept on messing up so many times that our band director called it off

The finger movement is crazy 😭
He should put it to where we can see the finger movement
FINALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR A TUBA RECORDING OF THIS SONG
Wow that floutist is killing it on those solos
Not in a good way 😭

Nice u guys are so great at that song. You guys made the whole band sound great.
Sounds great!! Keep it up!
scrumptious
I was going to recommend this song to my band teacher but I’m the only tuba so I don’t know haha…
if you have a double bass there than you should be able to play it
We're doing it with one tuba rn, go for it
Tuba has it easy for this piece ngl..
Damn😂
Respect the grind 💪
Tuba player meself been asking to play this all 4 years of high school still havent gotten it lol. Great job also
Omg I’m a trombone player and my friend is requesting this song I’m cooked 😭😭
Percussion😍❤️

haha my concert band playing this too this spring i’m excited
I love the French horn rip can you ask them to record a video for French horn bc I have yet to see one plzzzzz
ah yes, we bassline folk LOVE a good 27 measure drone
Awww..Yamaha's YBB-641s, the memories
Tuba go brrrr
nicely played!
Great effort
3:04 🔥🔥🔥
Ikr
I got bass trombone for this and its neat
i feel like the tubas should organize their breaths at the beginning, so at least 1 is always playing
Yea stagger breathing is definitely essential
@@guysensei3867 bro I didn't even know that stagger breathing meant that until last week lmao
Nice long tones there at the beginning! How did you do it?
Just a couple weeks of training and breathing. Our director encourages breathing warm-ups which helps.
breathing
@@lemonzest7255 good point. i just used to not breath, but your tip will help me a lot thanks
As a trumpet player, the trumpets here aren’t appreciating this song
Trombone parts>
not me starting at the left tubas valves the whole time
the high winds (especially the flutes) were making me mad 😭
Fr🥲🥲
3:04
🔥🙏🏻⭐️
So you did breathing warm ups? Can you pass them along?
My band could never
💀
Bro nobody but our advanced wind ensemble or maybe less advanced but still advanced symphonic band could pull this off unless we individually practiced
Let’s go tubas 💪

@@JonathanTheTrombonist thanks
Yamaha ybb b41 on the left?
I love your bracelet if it says "WWJD"
Can you do a pedal tone vid
Bro I wish I could hold a b flat like that
are you using a conn helleberg tuba mouthpiece
Also is this high school band?
Here’s a tip don’t puff up your cheeks when you play and never put the tuba on it’s bell.
ruclips.net/video/yTnhDFxEfwQ/видео.html
Literally a professional tuba player setting his tuba on it's bell
A little bit of puffing cheeks as good- helps get the air through
@@nyancs7098 he had a little bit more than puffing his cheeks...

@@WickedWitchOfTheSouth for me when i hit the really low notes i see myself puffing up my cheeks, not a large amount but i still am
He's so handsome
Tu ba? Or not tu ba? There is no question....
Hey do you think you could email me the music for first trombone
I dont it got sorry
Just search up arabesque pdf
very well you guys! but to be honest, yall need some work on stagger breathing with eachother. another thing is yall need to work on tuning and intonation on the low notes. i hope that helps!
5:55
Tbh I’m a flute player, and dang that was an aggressive entrance wthh
And the oboe?
This is tuba bro😂😂
1.25x speed is normal
Anybody else playing this in 7th grade or just me?
I had no idea people still played tuba
Our band doesn’t have one
watch out with your rhythms on 2:27 and also dont cut the notes too short. great overall tho
They have a different rhythm for some reason. Also it's marcato for every note and the extra rhythm is marked staccato and says "MP" for staccato, so they're playing it right.
U wanna be a euphonium or something with that height💀😂😂
Don't say that to the tuba player in my band who is 4 foot 11
Bro there tubas bell is longer, bells r shorter or longer so he’s probably not that short it’s the tubas bell
3:10 what you came here for
why is it so slow? otherwise it's good
Don't puff your cheeks out. I am a tuba player too
1.25x fr
🧀🍞🥞🍔🍭🍩🥜🍄🍢🌭🥪🌮
Those tubas sound out of tune
why was the flute solo so out of tune
Tuba is mid asf
that was horrible
Dude concert season just started probably 😭
its probably there first time cause the tempo is slow
oh really? it was horrible huh? oh, okay, so why dont you go pick up the tuba and play the song?

you can't, so shut up, you can't be talking
@@coolskeletondude5902 for real, this song is really hard on tubas and contra alto clarinet
