Trumpets can be heard and isolated with everyone playing. A euphonium isn't as obvious, and benefits from having the band pared down while it is leading. As an arranger, the first situation is a lot more common than the second. Euphonium solos are great, but any really intricate section work would just get lost in the mix. All other things being equal, the second-highest voice tends to get most of the melody.
French horns don't get the most solos, however; the solos that they do get are some of, if not the most recognizable solos in any genre involving them.
Dude I’m a French horn player and trumpets always get the glory..they’re the “top” instruments..like really the trumpets get too much at a time that not even other instruments get to enjoy what it feels like to be the too
the euphonium is such a beautiful instrument which literally translates to “sweet sounding” and the name holds true. i played baritone for marching band and euphonium for concerts. since i graduated this year, i got my own euphonium as a grad gift.
I’m a 9th grade student and I’ve been playing the trumpet for 6 years now. I just began to play the euphonium and I’m to addicted to it. Hope one day l’ll have a tone as beautiful as yours. Love it so much!
Such a beautiful tone. Do you have and tips on how to get a sound like that and what type of mouthpiece are you using.(I’m a high school euphonium player looking to improve)
Hi my friend, I use Parker mouthpiece, it's custom so you won't find identical model on their website but Lance LaDuke series is very close. In regards to tone, check videos on my channel in the "Educational videos" playlist, you'll find multiple tutorials on tone development. Best, M
@Orochi There is a book by Clark Arban for euphonium and trombone. Very good book for developing a wide range of things. Google "Complete method for trombone and euphonium" you will find it on various sites to order from. Worth getting if you want to improve.
I’m in middle school been playing trumpet for 4 years and I gotta say out of all the solos I heard this is the most soothing one ever it’s so calm and smooth it’s just a great solo with a great instrument controlled by a great person. Good job
This is the most pure sound I've ever heard a Euphonium produced. I absolutely love it, bless this man and his wonderful skill. You are a new idol I strive to be as a Euphonium player. Bless you good sir!
I’m Japanese high school trumpet player. I was so surprised at your euphonium performance ‼︎ I think that l have to practice it more 😵(I’m sorry if I am wrong because I am not good at English.)
Definitely the horns. You can go from a loud, high solo like Sigfried’s Call to a nice low solo like in Beethoven Symphony 9 mvt 2 or to something as iconic as the Binary Sunset solo.
Literally all brass. Everyone has something to share. If you really wanna know. Trumpets. They just have that feeling like in babylon SCV 2018 trumpet screamer part
Both are equally adept at the melody line but where the Euphonium excels over the trumpet/cornet is the counter-melody (especially arpeggio) work- Amazing Grace is a great example 🥰 Plus it’s timbre is gorgeous
As a trumpet and cornet player I've had the opportunity to play some very nice solos over the past 50 years. In our community band we also have a wonderful euphonium player who also plays the baritone. These are all great solo instruments. I remember seeing jazz trumpet player Maynard Ferguson back in the 70's. On that concert he played trumpet, flugelhorn, valve trombone and euphonium; all equally well. What ever great brass instrument you choose above all strive for a beautiful sound, without it the rest means nothing! As Doc Severinsen would say "the answer is simple, practice, practice, practice! Thank you for posting this great video!
Don’t be afraid in the room. When it’s your turn to play don’t forgot about taking deep breaths and using air to fill the room!! If you mess up KEEP GOING if you stop and play it again the judges will place you lower. Good luck on your audition, you’re going to do great! :)
They get barley any,and saxophones just play along with the solos, Sax and horns don't really blend well. Horns and Clarinet kind of blend better together,I'm really annoyed that saxophones just play what ever horns play most times. The horns just get watered down by all the other instruments. Being honest,Tenor Sax sounds ok but almost every instrument is better
@@bonku9863 Saxophones blend fucking amazingly. Any director or composer will tell you they're amazing at blending. They were created specifically to be this sort of middle ground that blends really well.
Such a beautiful sound. I don't know if you have yet, but could you possibly speak on the subject of trombone players picking up euphonium, and the best way to approach doing so? I have been playing Trombone for eleven years now, and Euphonium roughly two years. I am finding it challenging to find my own sound on euphonium.
Quick question. In what school did you learn to play euphonium? How many years are you playing right now, and are you teaching in schools or only on youtube? Love watching you videos and seeing, how you can pull off everything with ease ;)
I mean you can’t really compare solos by instrument. It’s all based on the piece being played. Each instrument has its own beautiful sound and while 1 piece may have an incredible trumpet solo others may feature an oboe or bass clarinet or euph.
I play oboe (not professionally though). For brass band arrangements and repertoire, definitely euphoniums... No one tell my brother I said that though, he plays trumpet professionally LOL
Who gets the best solos? A very good question, but the best piecea have a trumpet melody with euphonium countermelody, as a euph player from way back that was always my favourite.
I’m an 8th grade trumpet player, and I have a solo in one of the songs and not to be egotistical, but it sounds so good with the song I really love the trumpet sound ❤️😜
You make me not want to switch instruments despite the fact that not only do I play solos all by myself, but there are NO low brass in my class other than myself!
I have to ask is that Euphonium in concert pitch, I see that you are playing the treble pitches an octave down but you are playing notes like g and c in open position as if it was trumpet sheet music. I play trombone so I am not the most knowledgeable but your valve positions seem to mirror a trumpet instead of a standard low brass part.
It's a British brass band (referring to the type of ensemble, not whether or not it's actually in the UK since this one is in North America) and except for bass trombone (and occasionally some older tenor trombone parts written in tenor clef at concert pitc) and percussion, all parts are traditionally written in either Bb or Eb treble clef regardless of whether the instrument is normally considered a transposing instrument (so lower instruments like euphonium and the basses transposing an octave plus the second or sixth down). That way fingerings are the same for every written note regardless of instrument, allowing players to move between parts. The ability to move between parts was needed traditionally to allow people to cover different parts as needed, and is mostly kept now as an established standard since it's quite rare for musicians in modern brass bands to switch instruments or parts. Some newer brass band music writes for the low brass as concert pitch instruments (like they would be in an orchestra or concert band) rather than transposing instruments, but a number of modern scores still write transposed parts since that's the established standard practice for the ensemble (although most professional British-style brass band musicians would be used to reading both equally well). While the playing range for euphonium does extend into the concert pitch treble clef, that is almost always going to be soloistic parts in something like a concerto, so seeing a euphonium part (or any low brass part for that matter) in treble clef automatically indicates it's a British-style brass band piece and a transposing part (or that the composer made a mistake or doesn't know how the instrument actually works).
I feel I have a top authority as I've spent many years with both. Euphoniums get better solos, trumpets get better parts.

Trumpet: plays 40 notes in the span of 5 seconds 69 times
Trumpets gets too much spotlight
What about the poor French horns and trombones
Euphonium literally means "sweet sound"
Roronoa Zoro Trumpet literally means “best instrument”
Trevor King most annoying section*
Ròäd wôrk ähęåd literally means “stfu lol”
It means beautiful sound but they are the same thinf
Trevor King he’s not wrong my freshman pupils are annoying

Yeah I wanna make babies with the euphonium
Which section has your favorite solo lines? Share, like, comment and subscribe if you enjoyed this video my friends!!!

Anthony you’re absolutely right, it’s amazing
I play a euphonium in a Japanese high school. I was very impressed with the beautiful sound. I want to be able to make such a sound.
Thank you man this gives me so much more confidence to go to band/marching band playing euphonium.
Its 2020 and I still love hearing this video
Your playing is amazing and I love the euphonium, but I’m really biased because I play trumpet.
Trumpets get too much glory..like they’re good instruments and all but they get too much

Beautiful tone. The euphonium is a beautiful instrument and has a beautiful sound.. very jelly! Haha! 😭🥰💘
Both are equally ok, but really it just depends on what song it's being played
Eupho- Solo lines aren’t just about melody lines but countermelodies, arpeggio work and flashes of brilliance.
your vibrato is unreal! I love it so much!!!
wow love the euphonium
beautiful sound as usual man well done, loving these videos
3:27 Beautiful. I gotta get a euphonium again. Well done sir
Dude that tone is just way too good. 'Course both solos were amazing imo for bohemian rhapsody
edit: the one around 4:50 was super amazing
As someone who plays Euphonium and Trumpet this just fullfils me
I am playing euph for over 9 years nlw and I would like to meet you some day.... Do you do any masterclasses..... If you do... Where?
Wow, this actually made me tired to the point where I about fell asleep, thank you.
I'm surprised I haven't seen my brothers comments in any of your videos! I've only seen the person who led the low brass in marching band camp!
I love the trumpet section!
I’ve played euphonium for 2 and a half years, but this is really good
Lol! You are just that good that you even stole some French Horn solos in the official songs as an Euphonium player... lmao. Great job!!
I play every brass instrument, and euphonium is by far the most fun to play.

Great job, but I still liked the trumoet solo better because it was faster!
Great, like your sound, Matonizz
I play trumpet,but i love the sound of your euphonium
In the French horn section im not sure why but they remind me of Penn and Teller. The magic of music
I play euphonium as well and I love the sound of it
I would be sitting there singing along to bohemian rhapsody😂
Does Matonizz play in treble or bass clef?
Neither, French horns get the best solos

semitones down or is it me mis reading the music
Matthew Perkins the music for that is in the key of Bb, not C, so it reads like trumpet music, not concert pitch

I play euphonium and tuba myself and it feels like on most occasions trumps get more opportunities trumpets get better parts and more solos
LIP CHECK LOL good job man. I really want to learn how to play euphonium, but I play French Horn and unfortunately I am decent.
The euphonium is more sonorous and more closely resembles the human voice which I think it’s particularly nice in pieces like these.
YEEESSSSS, I NEEDED THIS😂
I wish I could play Euphonium that beautifully 💔 But the songs were practicing in band are loud and harsh sounding-
