Adam Rapa & Corno Brass Band - El Principio del Cielo

The CORNO Festival was one of my FAVORITE gigs of the year, yet again. Here’s an amazing piece that has elements of Latin Folk music, Classical, Gospel & Jazz Fusion, all melded into one cohesive sound by a great ensemble. This is how we opened the concert! The audience gave us a standing ovation! That‘s a first that I can remember. • Seriously, listen on headphones or speakers. Really hearing low brass is a must! 😍

What's that Bari sax shaped tuba?

[@Mach1neWashable]

Looks like just a custom leadpipe. Probably so he can use it with a strap like a sax to reduce fatigue and make it more ergonomic for those moving parts. Smart move.

Great piece and great playing. Despite the presence of a virtuoso tubist, adding a string bass or an electric bass would give warmth and depth to the bottom register, especially during the trumpet solo accompanied by only keyboard and percussion. Also, I play horn, and the horn sound would be more present with a plexiglass or wood reflecting shield placed behind the horn section. Stan Kenton's horn section used horns with bells facing forward, similar to marching band french horns. A few of those marching horns, made by Kanstul and others, are now for sale on ebay, and I am thinking of getting one for myself to try.

Súper bueno.

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

Was it a Trumpet or a Cornet and in which key?

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

@@towo7100 : Not apparently but by sound it must be C Trumpet

[@magiking96]

@@AliasgarVirdiwala You can hear the difference from Bb and C trumpet but not trumpet or cornet? :O Yea the first one was a Bb trumpet and the second was a C trumpet

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

@@magiking96 Thanks for your generous reply. You also play trumpet?

[@magiking96]

@@AliasgarVirdiwala haha dont worry :) Yeah i work as a professional trumpeter. Do you also play the trumpet?

[@AliasgarVirdiwala]

@@magiking96 Yes I'm also trumpet player

[@JoeBoeLoe]

Tuba+Sax=Tubax?

[@da11king]

Great performance! I wish to know what was he looking for in switching to another trumpet in mid performance?????🤔🎺

[@aaronjackson7166]

Either a specific sound, an instrument better built for the part, or both

[@tangelus]

I think he switched to an Eb trumpet

[@lotustrumpets6739]

That would be a brighter, more biting sound to easier cut through the ensemble. The first trumpet is a LOTUS Lead/Solo 140 model with a 4th valve, and the second horn is a LOTUS Principal C model, which has the same bell materials as our Lead model, but mounted on a C trumpet.
