David Childs - Gabriel's Oboe - Euphonium

Euphonium Soloist David Childs performs Ennio Morricone's Theme from the Mission with orchestral accompaniment

[@derekfurst6233]

More like thumbs up if you've ever heard of a Euphonium lol. The Euph truly is the most underrated instrument

[@scotrule6128]

I used to play Euph in the Marine Band from 1995-1999, and even practicing 8/hrs a day, never could I ever make a tone and vibrato as Prof. Child’s.

Thanks for the love!! I'm a euphonist and there's only two of us in concert- and I'm the only one that plays. Definitely not enough power for such a small yet important section in our band :']

An object lesson on how to play a slow melody! Beautiful sound, phrasing, vibrato and overall musicianship. David is an outstanding player!

[@jamesfraser4173]

If I remember rightly, his uncle conducts the band that David plays in.

[@BaritoneEuphoniumJef]

@@jamesfraser4173 I think you may be thinking about Dr. Robert Childs, who is actually David's father. Bob Childs (also a very fine euphonium player) conducted Cory Band from 2000-2012 and David Childs was principal euphonium from 2001-2012. David's uncle is Prof. Nicholas Childs who is conductor of Black Dyke Band. Hope this helps.

[@LaniBanani]

I listen to this with the memory of my grandfather - Jim - a beautiful euphonium player.

[@velcroman11]

It is hard for me to decide which sounds better oboe or euphonium. The oboe, for me, gives the impression of a haunting melody of distance and loss. The euphonium on the other hand sounds pastoral. Possibly a love song played in the distance hills, telling of promise and longing. Well, that's one persons opinion.

[@laurabowden5]

velcroman11 it does! It makes me think of countrysides, swimming in the lake and lemonade in the English summer.

I've grown up listening to the Childs Legacy if you will..and while I'm a Roger Behrend fan, you simply cannot deny the elegance and passion that all of the Childs performers bring to the euphonium.

Excellent. I love this song on lower registered instruments. Despite how others may feel, this was phenomenal. Excellent tone and form throughout.

[@darrenmorris8666]

And it's not a trumpet, it's a bloody euphonium !

[@RussianPandas22]

Euphonium is probably the most underestimated instrument, ever. From where I used to live, nobody even knew what it was, until I moved, and I'm the only one in our band, but at least it's recognized here. In LO, they don't know what they're missing. But I always have to explain the difference between the euphonium and baritone... *sigh*

[@echo2121]

RIP Morricone. The sound of the west may have left this world, but he will always live on in our hearts. ❤️

I love this so much. I played this as a Solo in school band and I remember practicing to this. Can't believe I found it again 🥰🥰🥰

[@dreamingpixles]

I'm so familiar with this song that It's strange at first to hear a euphonium instead of an oboe. But in a way it's like hearing a bass singer sing a soprano part in another octave - different, but so beautiful.

[@Me-wk7dz]

Anyone else get triggered when someone refers to a Euphonium as a Baritone?

[@carlsmith4568]

It pisses me off so much and idk why

[@calebmills6051]

nah its easily confused especially for someone not in band

[@razourblade7235]

Every single person in my band calls them Baritones, if you ask them what a Euphonium is they'll have no clue. But they can be called Baritones, some sheet music even calls them that

[@Metal-Possum]

There is no such thing as a "Baritone", it's a made up term to describe a variety of different horns in that same register. The Euphonium, and the british-style "baritone" (Bb saxhorn in all honesty) are the same pitch, can play the same notes, and are both very similar except for one minor detail.... the Euphonium is more conical than most other instruments in this pitch. So, the real difference is just the tone, not the capabilities.

[@bobnolastname3301]

It was an honor to see this man play in person. I saw him in his first American performance and he was just magical! I can't even begin to describe how much he is an inspiration to me as a euphonium player and a performer. And he's such a nice guy too. I can honestly say that David Childs is one of my hero's.

[@zazazipper9331]

You can learn how to play the notes, but playing like this is a whole new level. You can't even hear him blow a new note, it's flowing from one into another as if it was an entire different instrument

Somehow the sound of the euphonium takes you temporarily back in time. I never thought much of the euphonium but I think it has one of my favourite sounds out of the brass family.

[@emilythornton8269]

Being a fellow euph player i can speak for myself and atleast 3 of my euph friends and say that he has a great sound but being from the uk or austalia (one of the two) he sounds so much like a french horn!!! He has such a high/ light pretty sound whereas here in the us we focus more on deeper richer sounds.

[@ThinkingSpeck]

+Emily Thornton That's really interesting. I'm about to get my hands on a friend's French horn out here in Australia, and this is the first thing I want to play on it. To me the euphonium and the French horn are the only two instruments that have the mellow sweetness for this piece. I've also played the ballsier sound on euphonium, mind you, particularly in the first harmonic on a four-valve instrument - I just tend to prefer the sweeter sound. Not actually a euph player btw - just a singer who's mucked around with a lot of different instruments over the years.

[@emilythornton8269]

that's really cool!

[@AKCEuph]

He is playing on a completely different set up now (horn and mouthpiece) and I can tell you he sounds completely different.

[@AKCEuph]

In this video he is playing a York eminence Euphonium, which was a horn he helped design but got bought by Besson a few years back. The mouthpiece is a Wick 4AL. He now plays a BE2052 with his own Alliance mouthpiece.

Euphonium/tenor tuba can be written in either treble or bass clef format. The bass format is more widely used. The treble is mostly used for new students who are switiching from trumpet to the euphonium. Hope that helped any.

[@23xwafle5]

the four valved one is called a compensation euphonium....i gives the instrument extra range to play notes lower than an e natural below the staff (if you read low brass music) and provides alternate ways to play notes if needed
