Flugel Solo - "Children of Sanchez" - Mangione arr. Gilje

Helen Williams, Flugel Horn. Fodens Band, Michael Fowles, conductor.

[@larrytasker7043]

Helen Williams!!!!! You are the best flugel player I have ever heard. Your tone, technique and musicality is just brilliant. Love this rendition. Also the band is head and shoulders above other bands backing the flugel soloists on this piece -so together, perfect intonation and so dynamic -thrilling!!!!!

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

Wow!

[@neilsteiner2234]

I grew up listening to everything Chuck Mangione recorded, regardless of quartet or huge orchestrations. This was VERY nice to listen to. Very well done!!

[@derekjohnston76]

Helen is without doubt the very best flagella player I have ever heard, pure tone, as well as great musicality.fantastic!

[@ddomi008]

What superb tone!!!!

[@carlosg1456]

Incredible sound.she is magic

[@steveanderson9515]

Beautifully played Helen. You have a gorgeous tone and wonderful style. We were friends for a short time on Facebook, but I left as I spent far too much time on it. I’m a retired solo euphonium player, but I still listen to the wonderful bands and brilliant players. Keep playing Helen. X

Incredible playing throughout!!

What beautiful playing and such a lovely sound

Brilliant and well played young lady. Thanks. Shades of '' Brassed Off ''

[@danielwilson3671]

Definitely!

[@alexandrae.selleri3840]

The wonderful ability of the solo musician doesn't help to change what the composer, very clearly, wanted.

[@deanoboy10]

Brilliantly played. On a level with Andrew Garcia at ISB 125 and that's a huge compliment!

[@leonorlopes7840]

Lady and gentlemen: just... outstanding!

[@LentoBorris]

Terrific, the best I’ve heard . Well done, Helen.

[@user-uw3uf7xo6h]

It's insanely good, but I still think Eikanger's recording with Camilla Sjøvold is better. It's here on youtube as well.

Hello, I am searching the solo sheet of this piece! Where can I find it or is it possible to send it to me? It's just for practice at home during the quarantaine! Thank you

We have been rehearsing this at Arrow Valley Brass for an Entertainment Contest ( until Covid). Not sure is we had it in the library or we bought it recently. I can check when normality resumes and I stop shielding.

Does anyone know which model of flugelhorn Helen plays?

I play a Courtois 157....sadly no longer manufactured, but the 154 is quite similar!

Yes!!! she is some flugel player, articulation and tone as good or better than Mangione..

Such a rich and gorgeous tone, you could listen to this all day, well done Helen. Love it when the rest of band come in and brings a whole new dynamic. I so love this piece.

Do you know where I can get an arrangement of this please?

PERFEKT !!!!! Helen Williams brilliert auf dem Flügelhorn; aber auch alle anderen Musiker machen einen verdammt guten Job, nicht zu vergessen das Arrangement, ohne das geht nichts.

Such quality.

[@larrytasker8768]

I think the band is wrong. Helen Williams is with Cory, and when you see the Cory clips, the uniform she has on here is Cory Band.

[@ransome51]

Nope. I asked her if I could use her pic in her Cory jacket. This track was actually recorded when she was in Fodens.

@@ransome51 Ah. Thanks. She has to have the best flugel sound in the world

It is Cory, Helen and her husband Glyn who is the solo euphonium player joined Cory from Fodens in 2015 I think.

Definitely recorded with Foden’s despite my photo being more recent in a Cory jacket.

Beautiful performance by the skilled horn player.

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

Well, this was certainly different. The soloist had a very technical, classical sound. The "ad lib" section did not sound spontaneous, rather, it was worked out in advance.
