being a tuba player, my compliments to you on a very difficult technique. i struggled with circular breathing too, and low range is my bane. time was my best friend, but low range never got easier, or useable . on this excerpt, I'd suggest starting with a little less than your normal full air, so you have to sniff sooner, but you'll have the room sooner too. You won't be tempted to go to far and you'll be able to keep the pitch and tone steadier. The only time, on this video, the pitch dropped noticeably was the first one, when you seemed to wait too long. Otherwise it wasn't noticeable! Try holding water in your mouth, sniff and push the water out. it may help to see the stream. I'm not sure worrying about the back pressure on Bb 0 is that important! Honestly, this is very impressive! do it in a rehearsal, that's the only way to challenge yourself. But you're a professional, you know that stuff. More importantly to a tuba player, how are you related to Roger? The eyes are the giveaway!
As far as I know, I am not related to Roger beyond the fact that almost all US Bobos are descended from Gabriel Beaubau who immigrated to Virginia in the 1680s. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
Thank you so much for making this video! This was extremely interesting! Alpine Symphony is possibly my favourite work of R. Strauss, as well as my favourite tone poem overall, and to see you talk about the role the contrabassoon (which is an instrument I'm curious about too, as well as the more modern contraforte developed by Lewis Lipnick) plays in that dark and amazing beginning was fantastic! Also the info on the circular breathing too. Wonder if the passage would be easier on the contraforte (as well as the circular breathing). I even tried humming what is being played during those 75 seconds, as I've read the score and know what is happening. Thank you so much once again! :)
*_0:07_**_ - There is a passage in the contrabassoon part that, if taken literally, would require the contrabassoonist to hold out a PENIS MOLD an be flat for over 70 seconds._* Thats quite an unusual techniqe to play an instrument lol.
This is pretty good. Kenny G does a couple videos on this where he talks about circular breath and said it took him like 10 years to do, 20 to perfect.

I find that the highest 13-14 notes on the bassoon are the hardest to execute circular breathing on. Very interesting to hear what is difficult from another bassoonist's view
I can certainly understand that. For me, on the bassoon and most of the contrabassoon I can take in enough air in the upper part of my cheeks that I don't end up disturbing my embouchure very much. On the lowest register of the contrabassoon, if I try that I end up in an air deficit and find myself needing to do the more exaggerated "Dizzy Gillespie" thing. As I get more comfortable with the exaggerated technique and hold myself to higher standards of tone and intonation I may very well start to find the uppermost register of the bassoon the most challenging.
That's very interesting. I have not had to execute circular breathing for oboe, ever. On oboe, I do find that with its super tight embouchure, it is very difficult to execute a good vibrato technique on notes that are sustained for more than a few measures. Then again, I don't play oboe all the much.
There is orchestral precedent for tuning the contrabass down to Bb0, in George Crumb's "Haunted Landscape". (Ideally, this would be done on a 5-string contrabass, but those are quite rare in the US). A string instrument tuned lower than the contrabass would work, though it's not 100% clear that the octobass was intended to be tuned an octave below the contrabass. (Berlioz speaks quite emphatically that the octobass was tuned down to C1, giving it a low range an octave below the cello and a half-octave below contrabasses at that time, but identical to modern contrabasses with C extensions. The extra size would enable it to resonate these notes much more effectively; a job the modern contrabass is acoustically undersized for. It is, however, inarguable that at least some extant octobasses have been tuned down to C0. Whether those instruments were built contrary to the original intentions of the octobass, those instruments have been mistakenly tuned by later curators and restorationists, or Berlioz was simply mistaken, I cannot say. Though, I do find Berlioz being entirely mistaken the least likely of the three.)
It woke me up, but I assumed it was my upstairs neighbors stomping around. It was a very small earthquake; only worth mentioning because earthquakes are not something we're used to around here.
Being a low clarinet player, I'd try it on a BBb ContraBass Clarinet: a LeBlanc paperclip can reach down to the Bb0. I know they're not that common in Orchestras, but it's another woodwind option, at least.

does anyone else notice how much it sounds like a light saber?
Mr.UnfearedTwinkie lol it does to wth haha
Sounds like kylo's light saber tbh
Mr.UnfearedTwinkie Lmao
Yes but it has to be one whole note lower. Only music nerds understand.
@@frankocoleman5623 eh don't have to be rude man just wants low Ab goodness
The famous brown note
I'm not an amazing bassoonist and I only play regular bassoon not contrabassoon but I do want to say DANG THAT WAS A LOW NOTE!!!!
If you think that's low: www.subcontrabassoon.com :-)
My husband plays it every morning, and i don't know where does he hide that damn instrument.
circular breathing at its finest lmao
amen brother
Fella I see you EVERYWHERE
Nice pro pic
Nah. Try indiginous Australian didgerydoo players

As I said, I see the resemblance in your eyes.
Steve Hoog, I can play quite low on my Large Bore Tenor Trombone.
Stabilized nicely after about 30 seconds. You could probably double on རྒྱ་གླིང་
how in tarnation do you do circular breathing on a tuba please tell me!
i’m suppose to be studying
avocado bitch same

How did your test go

@@Nico-vl9fc lmao
Bb 0 is possible on bass trombone as well don't forget about us
Yep
Brett Roberts ayy im a xenon too
It is possible on tenor trombone and Euphonium also
Brandon Wang its called low Bb.
Justin Beiber it’s double pedal Bb
That's Great! You have given me something to aim for
You don't give yourself enough credit. Your amazing at circular breathing
2:35 starts to play
4:00 :(
Very good impression of a far away helicopter and very good circular breathing too
I use circular breathing all the time when I play difficult passages on the piano.
That was amazing.
Sounds like Kylo Ren’s lightsaber
Oh how I love the variety of the bassoons!
Neighbors: "Can you stop the jackhammer !?"
That's incredible. This is the first example I've come across for circular breathing.This particular sound very much reminds me of an air compressor.
But does it djent?
oldschool metalheads will never understand...
finally a good comment that i can understand.
Devon Crain Where are all the solos this can't be a real band.
totally
Imagine djent fucking rockin it with one of these
Sounds soothing for sleep
It sounds like a lawn mower😂
Olivia Nash or a washing machine😂
Olivia Nash or a honda

Olivia Nash not really
Stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know I'm late to the party here, but that was amazing! Well done!
It must be fun to play Strauss. He had an amazing ear!
For someone who is not comfortable with the technique, you did it well.
Good work!!
You are modest. Amazing!
Brother, that was awesome!
I've always loved the bassoon and especially the contrabassoon. My wife would kill me if I were to buy one though LoL...
That is pretty awesome, dude.
officially a part of my mixtape

Awesome job
That was great!
Massive legend
I love that double bass chilling in the corner
I do too. I played one for 38 years, many of those years with this bassoonist, and I didn't know he owned a double bass!
I like how he's always vibrating with the contrabassoon
Contrabassoon: Limbo champion.
awesome performance 👏🏻
you actually did really good
Bloody hell...did you grow another lung!!! love that piece organ bass drum and contra bassoon giving that ominous bass!
I held my breath the whole note through
Outstanding!! Wish I could circular-breath.
Amazing.
BRAVO!!!!!!
I can actually hear this as B-flat :) Well done!
Awesome video and a very enjoyable note, bahaha :)

Cool. I have a new alarm sound! Thx :D
NICE!
Impressive.
Talented circular breathing!
The difficulty of this is understated 💰
0:13 what?
Lmao
pianissimo? Is that what he said? cause it sounded like something else...
1. Pianissimo means very quiet.
2. It’s spelled Fagott.
PENISsimo
1. The point was it sounded like he said something else.
2. It doesn’t matter.
Strauss would have loved you!!! :-)
Impressive
GOAT!

This is what the worldwide hum is coming from guys!!!
Stagger breathing performed very well
Amazing! And very educational, thank you. But...why didn't Richard Strauss score that part for an alpenhorn?!
you r realy good
Nice.
Awsome

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!
holding a low Bb on tuba is just the average tuba experience
WOW! THATS A LOWER PITCH BASSON
That's a creepy and strange, but awesome sound
Best bassoon note ever! Seriously though, how many composers can make a one note "solo" that iconic?
I find that the highest 13-14 notes on the bassoon are the hardest to execute circular breathing on.

As I get more comfortable with the exaggerated technique and hold myself to higher standards of tone and intonation I may very well start to find the uppermost register of the bassoon the most challenging.
Actually, I find that the highest notes are the easiest to circular breathe on because there's more resistance in that register
low notes are my bane, coming from an Oboe with a super tight embouchure, i play high notes with ease
That's very interesting. I have not had to execute circular breathing for oboe, ever. On oboe, I do find that with its super tight embouchure, it is very difficult to execute a good vibrato technique on notes that are sustained for more than a few measures. Then again, I don't play oboe all the much.
I got lightheaded watching this holy crap
Aside from tuba and cb., would an octobass or a tuned down double bass work??
P.S. Did the earthquake affect you at all? I sincerely hope that you are all right!
There is orchestral precedent for tuning the contrabass down to Bb0, in George Crumb's "Haunted Landscape". (Ideally, this would be done on a 5-string contrabass, but those are quite rare in the US).

beast
Sounds hypnotic. Great job sustaining that Bb. How low is this note? Like how many Bb's below middle C?
3 octaves below the Bb below middle C
Is there any reason to have the jake brakes on for so long
Sounds real nice when you have a sub woofer present
Is that a heckelphone the musician is holding in the aerophor ad?
worlds best record ever
