Thank you for this! Professor Barrington was my horn teacher at UT during the late 90's. I still use a lot of his teachings in everything. A great professor!

I studied with him from 1977-1980 at the University of Washington. He was really something!! We didn't get along as well as we could have (more on me than him)...but in later years I met up with him at the Ithaca IHS workshop in 2016 and he was suffering from Alzheimer's to the point that he did not remember me...which I told him was probably good...). I spent a good deal of that convention with him, took him to dinner and bought him a steak, and thanked him for all he had done for me....in any case, he was a fine horn player and musician, RIP, Mr. Leuba.

I never met him, but wish I had. I worked in a horn section with a couple of his students years ago. They respected him greatly and one regularly corresponded with him via letters. I'm glad you got to spend some time with him at the workshop, even if he didn't remember who you were.

Anyone who dealt with Irving Berlin personally (rather than through his long-time attorney, the gentlemanly Abe Berman) knew never to change a note or word of a Berlin song. The late Gustave Haenschen, who arranged and directed most of Al Jolson’s Brunswick recordings, remembered Berlin calling Jolson at the studio before he recorded “Remember.” Haenschen said that Berlin threatened never to give Jolson another song “if I hear any of your goddamned ‘’mammy’ crap on that record!”

Thank you very much for posting this. It sounds really great (the playing that is, audio quality is impressive given it is a copy of a copy of a tape). It is too bad your quintet didn't commit this to LP back in the day. There are surprisingly no available commercial recordings. There was one done by the Ithaca Brass Quintet though it never made it to the digital age. I think it is a very nice piece of quintet literature that should be performed more often. Do you happen to have the rest of the concert from which this performance was taken? I would love to hear it if so.

I love your word choice: "immeasurable and infinite." That's exactly the way I feel about several important teachers I have been privileged to have studied under, especially Mr. Barrington. Best of luck to your daughter in her plans to teach. It is one of the most worthy careers one can follow. Thanks for your comment.

Chris Leuba was Solo Horn in the Chicago Symphony under conductor Fritz Reiner. He no longer teaches , I believe, but was a fantastic player and a teacher who was respected and admired by many of his students, including many who play in major orchestras. . His books include 'A Study of Musical Intonation', 'The Daily Warm-Up", 'Lessons on Horn", and 'Rules of the Game", and are well worth reading.

James, Bill was a friend...a flaky one sometimes and challenged, but a good friend. I remembered him from the old days in Austin when he played with an awesome, ahead of it's time group called "Passenger". He told me to get hold of you to get the key for Sound Forge, but he went home and we lost touch. Heard he left us and I miss him. Still needf Sound Forge and the key to full access, so get ahold of me if you will. Let's share some memories of Bill. Dan

Is this an "F horn"? I'm trying to figure out which notes are the 1st harmonic, 2nd harmonic, etc. The sheet music that I'm looking at seems to be written with the harmonics of C, so I don't understand how it can be played by a French Horn in the open position.

@jalobak 11 жыл бұрын

Right, a horn in F. So when you look at the part for "horn in F", if the composition is in F, the part appears to the horn player as a part in C. In other words, a C in the horn part will sound as a "concert" F. So....most of what Britten writes is within the harmonic series, sounding as F and its related series because the horn is in the key of F. There are, of course, several quirks, the 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics sounding varied degrees of "out of tune". The most marked of these are the written F at the top of the staff (11th harmonic) which sounds quite sharp compared to a tempered intonation, and the written A (13th harmonic). It all makes for a quite archaic melodic contour.
