YEEES!!! As a tuba player im really happy to see this comment

French horn is, with NO doubt, my fav instrument. The richness and warmth of its sound are unique! Congratz to all US Army Field Band excellent musicians! I'm a BIG fan of y'all.

same (Kinda bias because I just started learning it)

I'm 66. Still haven't gotten anywhere near ya'll. Wish I had joined military band after high school. Graduated from large university. Ruined my life. Dad was high school band director. Learned too late to place mouthpiece on bottom of lower lip too.

Thank you so much. As a French horn player, French horns are constantly underrated and told that it’s really easy, so it’s nice to see people in the comments notice

Fine playing throughout. I came here because I'm writing for woodwind quintet, I come from a more "jazzy" background and I want to make sure I respect the horn and write things that are melodic and feature the horn appropriately. Such a majestic/heroic instrument-- sort of a composer's first "go-to" for a triumphant sound, but also can be rhapsodic and warm. Thanks for this!

Thanks for watching!

I play Horn in band and Mellophone for marching band, and our show has part of American Overture in it and it's so fun to play!

Beautiful! I played horn in my youth, 30 years ago, in two youth orchestras… but I only could play Till Eulenspiegel from the pieces here… wow, some have very complicated rhythms and chromatic changes… very good hornists, the quartet was beautiful! Would love to hear the world famous horn solo part of the overture to Der Freischütz with these players! French horn is simply the most awesome classical instrument, the sound can be warm, rich, romantic, attacking, it’s a highlight in especially romantic compositions. Thanks, greetings from Germany 👍

Nice to hear excerpts from Wind Band repertoire, not just the orchestral repertoire.

I miss playing the French horn pain in the ass 90% of the time ( damn off beats) but so much fun

So wonderful these excerpts.. thank you The Army Field Band for sharing this beautiful video.. love it

Soooooo beautiful, thank you for this amazing video. God bless you all. Greetings from Germany.

Goodness, such great sounds from everyone! Inspiring to hear, especially that Candide excerpt!

Dance Mvmts is such a beast! I'll never forget playing this my freshman year of undergrad in Wind Ensemble.

So glad the symphonic dances from west side story excerpt made it! I played the viola solo right before, and a good friend of mine played the horn solo a few years back. So much fun, and a beautiful piece.

Absolutely loved this! Thank you for demonstrating these excerpts

Glad you enjoyed it, Casey!

you guys are so awesome, thanks for your music

There was a time when I was playing for at least three hours daily and was playing at a high level. It's like golf, you need to work at it and not just once a week. EVERY DAY.

I’m a French horn player and wow

Definitely helpful!

Che bel suono! E che musicisti! Molto bravi. Thank you so much 🤗

I play French horn too and I am interested in being a professional one day, Tysm for this! :D

Yowza! Very well played!

Such an underrated instrument

If I were to choose a brass instrument as a profession, I'd choose French Horn or Euphonium. I'm a woodwind player but I play the trumpet.

this makes me want to practice

wow you guys are amazing! I want to play a few of these excerpts some day

French Cor Horn! I learn it and pratice it from my 5 years old...!! I have 35 now... I was choice a techncian way of electrician and mecanician to build millitary engines. But i continue to pratice this instrument from so many years ahahahahahah! It's power full and the same time so sweet too... This instrument help me to be delicate, and help me to find force too when i need. I hope all soldiers will be happy with what we build in the tools you can enjoy in your work! Engines, communications, technologies etc... It's one of the most difficult about control of the breath push out and muscles on face (for me). Clarinet? Mastery after 4 years with license... Trumpet...3 years old with license... But his one!!! Omg i still don't have my license!! From all instruments i pratice or i have official license....it's the most difficult!

Wunderschön

im in my undergrad for horn performance right now. i hope to be in a military band after; this really helped me narrow in on a few excerpts to focus on. Many thanks! 🤘🏻

A nickel triple horn what a rare sight

Just a quick question what mouthpiece just Sgt. Kaci Cummings play on?

Wait, why is the horn solo from Tchaikovsky’s 5th included?

Yeah Selena!

If you ever want to hear great performances, you can't go wrong with the US Army Field Band!

May i know the brands if the horns? Some are Geyer or Geyer copies, but some of them looks quite new to me. Thanks

What is french horn range?

@jarrodrorrer773

Жыл бұрын

The highest the horn is usually written for is C6(F5 in concert pitch), while the lowest I’ve seen written is E2(A1 in concert pitch). These aren’t the ends of our range, we have a couple more notes on either side, but I don’t generally see beyond those pitches.

>No Freischütz

First!

Are those Patterson?
