As a high school player I can agree that when we actually get a euphonium part not an optional trombone 3/ tuba part it is soo fun. And your tone is sooo good like wth I wish
Finetales Unpopular Opinion: Concert Pieces (Not marching band) with percussion features are the best “chairs” Especially 200 bpm xylo solos and 7 people playing tambourine on the Nutcracker Suite!
@@SweetSpotGuitar Oh, for a bass trombonist having a great tubist sitting next to them makes ALL the difference. You feel like you can move mountains when you gel with a tuba player right.
My opinion - most marches when there's a countermelody, usually on a repeated strain, the baritone-euphonium parts have a coolness factor that can't be beat.
My band director actually shared this video with us in our tuba/baritone group chat, haha! If you guys are reading this right now, don't judge me for commenting this.
I played Euphonium in school. A lot of solos. I was fine with them in concert season but standing on a football field all by yourself playing alone was breve racking. I made it to all state once but so many had talent i couldn’t touch.
@@MachineWashableKatie normally, getting the title motif wouldn't imply coolest part, but I think in this case it does because of that piece specifically
The fact that you all sounded like 1 during jai ho is amazing since I’ve only heard it during high school football games and everyone is blasting because they are hyped.
Excellent. Especially true in brass band. Sometimes in concert band / wind ensemble I found a lot of shared parts with saxophones which I always found annoying. But euphonium is truly marvelous in brass band.
So here’s the thing. Trumpets are the most notorious “band instrument” - Brass specifically- but as music gets tougher, the low brass gets better parts which sound super dope. That’s why I started learning the French horn (more like mellophone cuz marching band) and euphonium along with the trumpet.
I have to admit, I only played the baritone horn (bass clef) but i love how our parts had beautiful counter melodies and atmospheric portions while the other instruments played the melodies. And then every once in a while, Boom, we had the melody for a good couple of bars. The euphonium and baritone horn was a combination of high noted tuba and low noted French horn. Thank you for posting this video!
Omg that star wars part has been a dream of mine to play and now i see that euphoniums can play that part aswell 😍😍 the star wars one made my day thank you so much
Euph parts are amazing. Its why I love the old girl. Carnival is amazing on Euph. ALL marches are awesome especially Sousa and Alford marches. Super hero stuff right there. Also Gustav Holst knew a good Euph when he heard one. Make Euphs a symphonic instrument now !!!!!!!!
My bandmates and I had the absolute pleasure of playing Armenian Dances by Alfred Reed. I played alto saxophone but the euphonium part was so beautiful and lush and especially lively towards the end of the piece. I’m sure you’re probably already aware of this piece and his other works but if not I strongly encourage you to give it a listen!
I've been playing Euphonium since grade school. I am 39 now, and a member of a Community Band. I have to agree. On more difficult pieces, the Euph. parts are awesome (and sometimes difficult). For transcription from orchestra pieces, NOT arrangements, the Euph part is a combination of Cello, F. horn, trombone. In the Raider's March we have, the middle theme (Marion's Theme) is in the Euph Part. The first half is doubled on F. Horn (the original orchestra has the horns playing the theme), but then they cut out half way through, and the Alto and Tenor Saxes take over. The Euph part has the whole theme, which goes up to a high B natural. Then, the first Euph part has the Harp part when the rest of the band comes in. Marches, especially Sousa, Euph almost always has melody......fun, but tires you out a bit because of no breaks. :)
I’m a Euphonium player and I love my instrument it’s one of the most fun and important instrument in the band and I would not choose any other instrument
Yep. An easy way to tell is by looking at where the 4th valve is placed. If it's next to the 1st, 2nd and 3d valve, it's non compensating, if it's at the botom on the side like the horn I use, it's almost always going to be compensating euphonium with couple of non frequent exceptions.
As a french horn player, I overpower both of you with more slides and keys than trumpets and trombone. I get melody and harmonic parts. Come vibe with the french horn.
It seemed in band the euphonium often took over what a cello would do in an orchestra. It was pretty cool until I had to play Enigma Variations, where it became impossible.
Mr Ipug There’s a difference between a baritone and euphonium the baritone’s bell shape is more like that if a trombone while a euphonium’s gradually gets wider
@@Matonizz Omg, You responded to my comment?! Wow! Dude you are such an inspiration for me, I continue to try and get better at euphonium because of mainly your videos. I wish I could sound like you, You are amazing. (I know you hear that a ton but you truly are)
@Matonizz Also, You have a Nasir Ali Euphonium... Was it any good? I heard you play it but you could make a lava lamp sound good if you tried, so was it good? I am wondering because my only school rented euphonium is dented all on the side and it sounds not very good, and I don't have a lot of money, (like I only have $300 set aside) so I was wondering if that is a good option for a cheap euphonium. I have been playing for under a year btw.
@@GregArmWrestling No, it was actually quite horrible to be fair :D Might have been the worst euph I've tried ever. Somehow in my head I thought that it was quite obvious in my video but it seems like a lot of people though that it actually sounded good. That being said, definitely don't get it if you're thinking about it :D
I have a question: I play a Besson Sovereign made in the seventies. I like it very much, but when swapping with a mate (for the lols), i found that my valves feel somewhat sluggish. They are smooth, not really hard to press or anything, but they seem dampened a bit. On the return too. No, its not so much that it hinders me, far from it, but others feel, well, snappier, for the lack of a better description. I am running some slightly higher viscosity oil because of wear, that might even be it. What else could cause this/how could it be fixed?
Bessons always have very smooth motion which is a bit more resistant than a euphoniums like yamaha, at least from my experience owning multiple bessons myself as well as testing multiple horns from them. Three things that you could do to improve speed: 1 change your valve guides (unless your valve guides are attached as a singular part to your valves which is entirely possible since you mentioned it's an older Besson. Otherwise it's probably a plastic valve guide which wears out rather quickly). 2. By better set of springs 3. Take it to your local workshops and ask some cleaning work done. Hope this helps my friend. Best,M
Hey, thanks for the reply! Yes, it has the valve guide as a soldered and then milled piece permanently attatched. That in combination with the serial number leads me to believe its one of the oldest runs in the first place. I will look into the springs, definitely!
in german egerländer music this is only true if you can read G clef written in Bb. Otherwise you'd get the (equally important but not as enjoyable) base doubling line. That was when i decided to train G clef in Bb.

Or a bass clarinet part.
As a fellow euphonium I agree
As a high school player I’m jealous that you can say “we”... I’m the only one :(
@@Julia-hv9et it was three of us at first and then there were two and then it was just me, miss high school just bc of band :/
Fact: euphonium and bass trombone are the most fun chairs in any ensemble.
Finetales Unpopular Opinion: Concert Pieces (Not marching band) with percussion features are the best “chairs” Especially 200 bpm xylo solos and 7 people playing tambourine on the Nutcracker Suite!
Bass bone in jazz especially
Fractured Pancake facts
Best chair is tuba sitting next to a killer bass trombonist. :)
@@SweetSpotGuitar Oh, for a bass trombonist having a great tubist sitting next to them makes ALL the difference. You feel like you can move mountains when you gel with a tuba player right.

Especially in Chicagos world's fair 1933 I think, the low brass is the star of the piece and I love it
Mailbox 557 look up Eric osterling thundercrest it’s a very good euphonium part I play it just for that
Mailbox 557 tuba has a cool one too
I play French horn and there aren't a lot of good parts, but when we get a good part, it's the best.
5:36 nuff said
Pines of Rome is hands down one of the best French Horn parts/songs ever.
Agreed!!!
Swear in our school horns has majority of the good melodic parts
Look up havendance best French horn feature peice ever difficult for beginners though
As a euphonium/baritone player myself, this video brings me so much joy.
My band director actually shared this video with us in our tuba/baritone group chat, haha! If you guys are reading this right now, don't judge me for commenting this.
It's amazing how all of you euphoniums play and sound like it's one person playing
That's really what tends to happen
Unigardy trumpets have to do that also
@@jonahhicks6883 yeah, but I meant that these particular euphonists are very good at it
I wish my band did that lol.
Our band could never-
I played Euphonium in school. A lot of solos. I was fine with them in concert season but standing on a football field all by yourself playing alone was breve racking. I made it to all state once but so many had talent i couldn’t touch.
sorry - for Indiana Jones - the best part definitely goes to the trumpets. :D
Yeah
Heh trumpet is the superior instrument
@Trevor King What do trumpet players use for birth control?
Their personalities.
Is it because they get the title motif?
@@MachineWashableKatie normally, getting the title motif wouldn't imply coolest part, but I think in this case it does because of that piece specifically
The fact that you all sounded like 1 during jai ho is amazing since I’ve only heard it during high school football games and everyone is blasting because they are hyped.
I believe all the most epic pieces are in the late romantic period. Like Pines of Rome should definitely in there.
Before: Me sees euphonium
Before: Me: I want one
Now: Me sees euphonium
Now: Me: I don't want one. I need one.
I play bassoon in my school band and sometimes I play the euphonium part and I can say I ALMOST enjoy them more than the bassoon parts
You ever play Postcard? I was jealous of the bassoonist for that song.
Excellent. Especially true in brass band. Sometimes in concert band / wind ensemble I found a lot of shared parts with saxophones which I always found annoying. But euphonium is truly marvelous in brass band.
I’ve played the euphonium since fourth grade and i can confirm this is true
So here’s the thing. Trumpets are the most notorious “band instrument”

There'a a reason John Williams is considered the best for soundtracks or outside of classic music.
Don’t forget John Powell
And his wonderful HTTYD score(s)
Bruh what is that clef in the first one 🤯
Omg that star wars part has been a dream of mine to play and now i see that euphoniums can play that part aswell 😍😍 the star wars one made my day thank you so much
Legit considering using the Jai Ho part for my Wind Ensemble audition...
It sounds great!
you can choose?
@@adityabharadwaj2031 Yep, just have to bring in a 'slow' and a 'fast' etude and that's it
Indigo Azai my auditions are Thursday, as a tuba they give us two etudes from the blazevich book. A fast and slow piece.
@@ldalri2780 Love that book a lot. If you remember, which etudes did you get?
Euph parts are amazing. Its why I love the old girl. Carnival is amazing on Euph. ALL marches are awesome especially Sousa and Alford marches. Super hero stuff right there. Also Gustav Holst knew a good Euph when he heard one. Make Euphs a symphonic instrument now !!!!!!!!
Me: ye they're pretty good
Also me: *thinks about my part in band*
What a joy it is to hear a euphonium played well.
Euphonium for band, Horn for orchestra. I gotta admit it sounds really nice.
I wonder why in any band the euphonium section has so little people
I don't know, timpani gets pretty cool parts too
My high school marching band played Superman this year
It looks so fun yet so scary! Sadly my spring concert was cancelled due to Covid 19 we were going to play the starvwars theme song

Star Wars the best
Is the xo Jupiter your favorite euphonium
I like it so far :)
I hikey miss playing Euphonium. I just switched over to Tuba, and the parts just aren't as fun as they were on Euphonium.
ImTable25 why did you switch?
@@falpsdsqglthnsac Just to play something different. Plus I wanted to trying something new for marching band.
I enjoy playing the tuba
Tuba is fun to play, Just too heavy haHhahah
ImTable25 I’m in a brass band I switched to e flat tuba because we had plenty of euphonium and baritone and needed another bass player
Indiana jones theme was my fav

I'm a baritone player in 7th grade and I'm excited for when I get in high school so I can actually play fun parts
I'm in 7th as well, but I think the parts I play are already fun.
Fully expected the opening solo of Willbys "Jazz" to be in there. Absolutely devilish to get perfect and you can hear even the tiniest scratch.
So glad I'm switching from trombone to euphonium
*Comes happy to check euphonium part on orchestra* Oh wait....
This is a joke pls don’t kill
Wow that musical font !! Beautiful! Almost as beautiful as y’all’s playing haha
I play euphonium and jeez I just mastered f concert scale...
I’m a Euphonium player and I love my instrument it’s one of the most fun and important instrument in the band and I would not choose any other instrument
I wish these excerpts were compiled somewhere and available for study!
Sadly not so far in my band. Hoping that I get some banger parts in wind ensemble this year
As a college Euphonium player who is having doubts this kinda helps a bit cheers mate
As a trombone player I admit this video is amazing
Is that a compensating horn?
Yep. An easy way to tell is by looking at where the 4th valve is placed. If it's next to the 1st, 2nd and 3d valve, it's non compensating, if it's at the botom on the side like the horn I use, it's almost always going to be compensating euphonium with couple of non frequent exceptions.
Matonizz thanks. As a tuba player I had no idea because the 1st 2nd and 3rd valve are almost always in line with each other.
@@petergriffin680 same here man..
What is suite and composer is the star wars “throne room” from? My band director would be very interested in having our wind ensemble okay that.
It's from John Williams, he wrote it for Star Wars Episode IV and it is called Throne Room if I'm not mistaken.
As a Trombone player, I wish I could physically play sixteenths.
As a trumpet player, i am kind of jealous of you.
As a french horn player, I overpower both of you with more slides and keys than trumpets and trombone. I get melody and harmonic parts. Come vibe with the french horn.
@@hazeymcdaisy6701 yet in my band there is only one of your kind. You are going extinct.
sixteenths are definitely possible but very hard though. It just requires you to learn how to double-tongue most of the time
what about the euphonium solo from the first and fourth movements of the second suite?
Low brass master race
It seemed in band the euphonium often took over what a cello would do in an orchestra. It was pretty cool until I had to play Enigma Variations, where it became impossible.
I'm a tuba player and I gotta admit the tubas had their moments but you did have some pretty freaking cool parta
Honestly kinda expected Mars bringer of war for best euphonium parts
As a ephonium player as well I agree that the ephoniums get the best parts ( i also played the baritone)
Nah in my band the tubas get the loudest, craziest and most fun parts. I love playing tuba
A daily dose of inspiration
What Euphonium do you play? ( Brand) It sound really really well!!!
Jupiter XO
There on sale, it used to be 9,000 now it’s 6,000
Ben Kenobi holy f that’s expensive
NINJA CAT there really good but I suggest a sterling if you want a darker tone
Don’t forget about The Melody Shop!
I really Appreciate the lower brass because I was a Tuba player in my younger years
French horns have the best part in starwars. They play with the trumpets and low brass.
Throne room was my favorite
I love this grate job
At my high school all my euphonium music is always the ass part of every song 😂
As a trombonist this hurts, but it’s true
Amazing tone 👍🏼♥️
T^T first time I see parts where the Euphonium have the cool part...I can die happy now!!
:) I love playing euphonium
I see my boy using those alternate fingerings. 1 & 2 D and 3 D or G
I have decided I WILL PLAY NEXT YEAR THE EUPHONIUM IN BAND!
Where does this man play? Such an amazing player. Makes me inspired to play euphonium every day
Thank you my friend. I play in River City Brass, it's a brassbands located in Pittsburgh PA
Yeah I guess euphonium has some pretty cool parts and I always loved the mellow sound. But when I heard 5:36 I remebered why I play the horn.
Booo booo booo booo booo boooooo booooo boo boo booooo! Love it!! haha
do you ever play some cool maslanka or mackey stuff? if so can we see some?
Superman 2 was beautiful
I wish that euphoniums were in orchestras aswell and hey if u take suggestions please do the planets suit by gustav holst 😂
Do professional band have the baritones play in treble clef?
Both treble and bass
@@Matonizz ok good cause I dont know any treble
Go learn it. It might net you some fun parts otherwise locked behind it. Sometimes the parts differ based on clef. Dunno why.
@@seven9766 I'm starting to learn it now
Hermoso :) Beautiful
Tell that to middle school bands
I call it the baritone(edit:I released the difference but didn't know what video i said that soo)
Mr Ipug There’s a difference between a baritone and euphonium the baritone’s bell shape is more like that if a trombone while a euphonium’s gradually gets wider

Jai ho makes me so hyped
超憧れます💘
Who the fuck plays the trumpets ?? its amazing !!
What are those small euphs in the back??
Wyatt Beach I think it’s a baritone
Wyatt Beach that’s a actually a baritone
Well I play baritone
Please don’t kill me, but...
What’s that instrument those two women in the back are playing?
British Style Baritones
Matonizz cool! What’s the difference from euphonium, other than appearance?
@@falpsdsqglthnsac Euphonium has a bit more mellow, darker sound. Outside of that not too much difference between two :)
Cameron Horn Baritones also have less tubing and are smaller than the euphonium.
TheMrCream ‘ false they have the same amount of tubing there both in Bb and in the same octave.
I believe the french horn is the best instrument due to its versatility in almost every category
Yeah French horn gang
in german egerländer music this is only true if you can read G clef written in Bb. Otherwise you'd get the (equally important but not as enjoyable) base doubling line. That was when i decided to train G clef in Bb.
Love everupy momenttt
holy crap your tone in the upper register...i wish...
Euphonium pride
What about in jazz band
Euph solo from Mars?
