[@11bone11]

c'est tellement beau un blend de trombone... !!!

[@luvicguevara5616]

QUE HERMOSO, SE ESCUCHA ESPECTACULAR.

[@1966gto1000]

Great sound, guys! I favorited this video. This is what the greatest horn ever invented is all about. Like music from Heaven.

[@trombonefera]

muito bom a musica muito simples mas bem execultada !

[@santiagoa991]

muy bacano muy buen sonido

[@Ragnarok-987]

I used this as one of my audition pieces for college. I've never heard this arrangement of it though. Mine was for solo trombone and piano.

[@nadavnaz2]

VERY nice!

[@RedSectorAndy]

I actually find it pretty cool, because I'm a Euphonium player myself (sadly designated) but I used to be play trombone for a year and a half, and oddly enough my first "performance" in music was on a percussion instrument. I learned quite a bit of the chordal stuff from playing Piano/keyboard and I took a semester of theory, it wasn't bad for the most part seeing how I used "piano mentality". Yes, my life story lol :P

Fugue in D minor, by J.S. Bach --- arrangement for bone quartet, i played at u of oregon, a challenge and a blast to play. Bach was like 500 years ahead of his time, no?

[@SpencerCHale]

C'mon... you totally just one up-ed me with the poetic imagery. Now I look like a fool. *sigh*

[@SpencerCHale]

Picardy (sp?) 3rd. A classic Bach fugue technique.

[@JFlatley5001]

Que viva el trombon!!!

[@SpencerCHale]

Haha, yeah I play some euphonium as well. Trombone is sooo much harder. I spend hours just working on the simplest things and think to myself, "maybe I should've just played saxophone"" But trombone is awesome. So much character in the instrument. I like how we've just created a blog conversation on this person's comments. I wonder what they think...

[@allstatetbone]

I think half of these views are mine. Incredible piece.

[@LuisFredTrombon]

muy bien

[@xDiegodm]

OOOooohhh muy interesante !! xD

[@VickiSif]

Bach wrote organ peices but bless his buttons, he wrote his music as 4 separate lines, which makes them rather simple to arrange for quartets.

[@familypaladin]

second rim on bell? Looks pretty standard for a bass bone with a 10.5 bell - though I suspect he has added a "C" extension on the F trigger from the looks of it. Perhaps a Conn flair on the bell, which would explain the open look down its throat?

[@RedSectorAndy]

I love how this is in D minor, but ends on a D major chord :P

[@SpencerCHale]

It's when you end a piece that's in a minor key on the parallel major (same root note, ie d minor and D Major). I personally don't like them a whole lot. I always feel like (in most cases) the piece works you up to a big minor chord finish and then all of a sudden it's a bright sunny day in cadence land.

[@RedSectorAndy]

@SpencerCHale Exaplain to me what the Picardy (sp?) 3rd is exactly haha

[@SpencerCHale]

Yeah I'm into my 4th semester of college as a music student. Still got lots to learn though. Stick with it! It only gets better! You're a trombone player, I assume?

[@HappinessAWAITS]

@FuMrDolphin Sadly I'm a decent musician myself, It's not really the piece now that I listen to it, but the intonation of the players, and it's not being dissonant, it's consonance, they're just flubbing it. I'm the first chair trombone player for my State's All-State band, small School All-state, District, and Quartz mountain. I work hard playing music and practicing tone and technique for seven hours every day. I enjoy all genre of music, and generalizing pop as such, is ignorant.

[@chewbacca001]

haha! no, it's just a regular bass. do a search for contrabass trombones and you'll find some. sometimes the angle does throw you off though.

[@tbx308]

i would like to play this for my recital. how can i get this copy of it. ?

[@kblauer]

yeah, I wasn't thinking Bb contrabass, but maybe an F Contrabass... it might have been a little longer in the back end. oh well

[@kblauer]

Again, it was no dispute that it was not a tenor trombone, but whether it was a bass or contrabass.

[@FUZZYisBIG]

Bass bone seems to sit the slide a little too low and has to lip it up, sounds really fuzzy...

[@Godooable]

that was all the notes, for sure...

[@XxSpiffxX]

What website can i print these music sheets from for free?

[@robotluvr]

Where do I buy the sheet music? I have been desperately searching but I can't find it.

[@kblauer]

it's hard for me to tell on the video since it's the only big bone of the 4, but is that just a bass trombone on the left or is it indeed a contrabass?

[@scottjop656]

@SpencerCHale ik right? such a let down...

[@HappinessAWAITS]

Not going to lie, it sounds like they're playing two or more different pieces, it doesn't blend at ALL.

[@teddytyphoon]

needs more dynamics but very good

[@HappinessAWAITS]

@iseefurtherthanyou They see me trollin ._. Surprised someone finally caught me D:

[@pablobasstb]

@XxSpiffxX hey!! if you send me a e-mail i can give you a copy :) free, of course!!

[@FUZZYisBIG]

Bass bone needs to back off a bit, this came out a bit muddy, still sounds incredible.

[@AirplaneSlave]

Amazing individual players, but some ensemble issues...

[@dherrer1]

give em a break, these guys are students...

[@delafrouz]

think it was an organ piece

[@FUZZYisBIG]

@XxSpiffxX Don'beaJew.com

[@NPEng]

there's no dynamics same volume the whole way through

[@mrparke007]

SLOPPY.

[@SpencerCHale]

It just seems out of character to me. I have heard a few tasteful ones in my time, but in general they usually frustrate me.

[@Whalebelly2239]

@HappinessAWAITS Well, the composer is Bach, a genius in music. Believe me, he know what he did. If you want music to do what you expect then you should go and watch some pop music instead. Sorry to say pal, but it does not sound like you know anything about real music. At all.

[@mrparke007]

Sorry that you don't know anything about legato playing on trombone. If you did, you would know that the middle parts are terribly played in this piece. Small ensemble playing is about evenness and cleanliness. Unlike you, I'm not going to resort to name calling.
