Bach - Cello Suite No. 1 (full) - Euphonium

[@OcarinaOwl]

Amazing rendition. As a cellist I'm impressed that you have taken the string ornamentations and made them work for euphonium. Especially the chords in the Sarabande. That was absolutely impressive. The way you broke the chords it sounded just like a cello.

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you so much. That and the breathing are certainly the most challenging things about playing these suites on a wind instrument. It's great to hear from a cellist that it works well!

[@zxKAOS1]

@@JordanMooreMusic Cello parts are often played by euphoniums in concert band. Many of them are beautiful parts, but got-dang-it, it's just dozens and dozens of dozens of measures of notes in a row, with no good spots to breath. Our band director pointed out the obvious that cello players don't need to worry about breathing, so try to make do with playing that on a euphonium.

[@StevenHigbee]

When me, Ella, and Josh were watching the live stream, our jaws dropped with how amazing this was!!! ITS SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Soundole]

Very impressive work! I'm all for these masterpieces finding new homes on wind and brass instruments, and your recording makes this piece sound like a really naturall fit for the euphonium (but I know a TON of work goes into making it sound at home!)

[@Yannick432]

The mastery of the circular breathing is impressive.

[@d.schoepflin2247]

This piece can't be played on any brass instrument unless you've learned circular breathing!

[@JustinWoodsMusic]

Beautiful work, Jordan. So much movement and it's all wonderfully connected. I've been meaning to learn this piece for guitar and, after listening to this, I'm feeling a lot more motivated to do so. Thank you for sharing this!

[@JDIASPRODUCTIONS]

Your video covering the lugia theme is why I am still subscribed. I love this cello suite, I hope you keep posting the videos YOU want to make and not try to appease anyone

[@patrickfagan1772]

After hearing this, I subscribed! Really well done Jordan! I've been playing these on Euphonium for 30 years, envy your flexibility and admire your interpretations.

[@AKCEuph]

Sounds great, congratulations on (what I gather was) a successful recital.

[@tristanhmusic]

Beautifully played! This suite is soooo gooood on euph

[@Eliot-d1r]

Inspiring! Thank you.

[@zxKAOS1]

Thanks for the upload! I'm going to to try to play this piece, and this gives me something "physical" to work towards!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

It's certainly a challenge, but very fun to play once you figure out the breaths and get it up to speed!

[@celticcheetah6371]

@@JordanMooreMusic I’m learning it on euph too at the moment to get myself back into playing after a ten year break! Thanks for providing inspiration Jordan.

[@d.schoepflin2247]

Jordan, Great performance of this extremely difficult Bach piece to perform as well as you have! I've got your channel open in another window to see what else you've put here on KZbin for others to enjoy! Thank you, Dan Schoepflin a fellow euphonium player in SW Virginia

[@gstreitenberger]

Beautiful euph playing!

[@tomscholtz309]

I'm usually very critical of mistakes. Not this time! The fact you made this work is incredible, and the piece sounds beautiful on the euphonium even with the mistakes.

[@vorlostzurab7653]

I play it myself, and its, though you do have to practice it, fun to play and not too difficult....

[@NickLukefahr]

Great job! Must feel good knowing you played well enough to get a copyright strike from a couple other groups :P

[@edi4530]

Hi Jordan, this is artful and impressive on so many levels.

[@crocshock911]

You mastered circular breathing!

[@osaketubist73]

I will also perform Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 at my own tuba concert. good job!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you, and best of luck!

[@d.schoepflin2247]

Have you learned to play it all in one big breath yet? If not, try circular breathing! I think it works on tuba too!

[@nyeheh]

You're a great musician continue in this way

[@jamesdahne1593]

You sir are an inspiration.

[@Elizabeth_-lq3jk]

I aspire to one day be as good as you🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Aw you’re too kind. Keep it up, you’ve got this!

[@BlakeSmithMusic]

Love your channel. You are one of my inspirations to continue with music and I really want to learn euph now 😂

[@HelloWorld-fg2nm]

Christ almighty never knew it would be possible to play this song on a euph, especially not with the level you showed here. Amazing

[@nephrobles9790]

Currently practicing this piece on my Euphonium and it’s not easy lol great job man!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you, and best of luck!

I Loved the sound and the interpretation!! Really good!! Gongratulations!! Please , what mouthpiece did you used ?

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Thank you! And I use a Schilke 51D.

[@pedrodavidrodrigues3481]

@@JordanMooreMusic please , do you use the Schilke 51D with SMALL, European, or LARGE Shank ??? Your sound is awesome!!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Pedro David Rodrigues Thank you, I appreciate the compliments. I play on a Yamaha 642, so it’s a large shank.

[@pedrodavidrodrigues3481]

@@JordanMooreMusic I am a begginer and I aim to have your kind of sound one day... So you play on the Schilke 51D LARGE Shank right? Could you tell me if there are diference in sound from small to Large Shank?? A Beginner can start on a Large Shank? If not how long do I have to wait to use a Large Shank? I am planing to buy a Yamaha 621 and I wanted to know if it acept small shank mouthpiece and if the Schilke 51D LARGE would also suit it.. I woul really be glad of you could help me with those questions!! You are the man at the Euphonium and really brings the meaning of the word Euphonium woh means well-sounding .. I'm your fan!!

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Pedro David Rodrigues As far as I know, all professional players for both trombone would use a large shank (or European shank). I haven’t really seen any instruments that have a large bore with a small shank, so I think the instruments that would give you the best tone all have large shanks. But it would certainly be fine to start on a small shank, that’s what I did.

[@Jeffrey-gu7jp]

I want to go fishing w this just play real quite in the background

[@JoseHernandez-sj4kf]

Where is the sheet music?? This sounds amazing and I want to learn it

[@JordanMooreMusic]

Jose Hernandez Thanks! If you google search this piece, you should find a website called imslp. It has sheet music for any piece that’s in the public domain, so you’ll be able to find this! It’s a great resource for classical sheet music.

[@koithr]

Jordan Moore what arrangement did you use?

[@theoutsideguy8]

Is he playing this by memory? Very impressive 👏 now do it on a tuba

[@seth094978]

This is a tuba, and is the right one for the job. Euphoniums and bass/contrabass tubas were all developed from the same predecessors, and intended for the same role: providing the bass voice in wind ensembles and orchestras. They are all conical bore, and have similar tonal characteristics, just shifted up or down in pitch. The French exclusively used tubas in C above the euphonium for all orchestral music until the 1950's, and in British orchestras the euphonium was widely used as well until the early 20th century. The shift toward F tubas, then Eb, then BBb has been pretty recent and not always beneficial.

[@air8961]

I think at 1:32 you played a B instead of an A, but other than that your interpretation sounds just like how Bach wouldve wanted it. Great job!

[@jeffreyhodes]

i've seen some editions with the B. definitely sounds better with A though

[@JohnRobertMatzComposer]

Ye gods, sir.

[@jamesmziegler]

WOW -- as if this isn't hard enough on the cello.

Dommage qu’on entende autant le mechanisms des pistons et la respiration de l’instrumentiste

[@NOLJAK101]

mmmm lol I’m still waiting for a multicover concert band arrangement even though their might not be any what so ever that’s all right you still make good videos and are currently working with various families of instruments such as ocarinas and even several brasswind instruments you name em also I have one other question Mr. Moore when are you going to graduate college @ Eastman I’m just curious that’s all and what do you plain on doing afterwords? 😁.

[@Mac_Kraken]

I played Euphonium middle, Highschool and Bachelors. Great tone and sound! But... the overall phrasing was bad in my opinion. Breaths taken in the middle of phrases, it disrupted the piece overall and it was abrasive to me. If the breaths were taken at more strategic places I would applaud it with full merits. I fully understand this is a piece written for a sting instrument without the need for breaths but there is a concept called phrasing and it 100% doable on a wind instrument. To reiterate Great tone on the instrument, the issue was with Phrasing and the choice of Breathes
