I’m 16 years old and Japanese euphonium player. I’ve played the euphonium about 5 years. I was moved his sounds. I want to be a very good euphonium player like him. I’ll practice the euphonium harder than now.

[@frontline1097]

Kumiko is that you?? HAHAHA

[@Tsuba_Nick]

僕の日本人の友達が子供の時にユーフォが大好きだったけど、結局勉強が忙しすぎてから、諦めた。彼女は今まで後悔している。かかききさんはきっともっともっと上手くなる！頑張ってね！

[@Kkkkk-f3j]

Beautiful. I'm happy to hear the euphonium taken seriously and played so wonderfully.

[@thevectrexlover]

+alipzin ...and then you look at the comments

[@BlkSox1919]

I was a euphonium major on college. Nice to hear a neglected instrument get its due.

[@morganpeek9453]

It's about time I got to hear my instrument noticed as an instrument of beauty and elegance

[@Cuthalion]

I am just 14 years old and my euphonium teacher asked me to play it with harmony. Its a hard, but its beautiful

[@h.a.1543]

RaphiRhinoshield concrats man ! It’s really an extraordinairy opportunity to shine

[@beneisner9455]

This makes me so proud to play the Euphonium. Such emotional playing. The part where the Eupho and Tuba have their moment. So glorious.

[@Killjoyfiend]

GLORIOUS

[@shanepierce5174]

I couldn't be anymore in love with my euph. than I am now. This is beautifully inspiring!

[@gamerbeastboy1842]

There is always room for more

[@nukadog1969]

I love that his lyrical style sounds beautiful whether he's fluttering valves or playing straight melody. Too many "star" Euphs think that virtuosity is about how fast the apertures transition rather than how beautiful the music produced.

[@jadenkeith6257]

Absolutely this

[@ale_05911]

This doesn't have anything to do with the video but you look like Mike watson in the profile picture

[@dapaulson1]

Wow! What a nice discovery. I have never heard this player before. He is now one of my favorites. What great tone control. The slurred arpeggios are superb! His dynamics are spectacular. One of the best pieces I have heard played on best of all brass instruments.

[@geminigeorgie]

David A. Paulson it's so beautiful playing Celtic Fantasy pieces like this! Words can't explain how beautiful it is!

[@marchsteve1]

One of the few brass players I would actually pay to listen to. What a ridiculous amount of talent Glenn has, I remember accompanying him in France in 2009 and he was astonishing even then.

[@happyjellycatsquid]

marchsteve1 Wow I so disagree ! He is amazingly talented but why so much slight against brass ? I believe brass are wonderful instruments !

[@jadenkeith6257]

@@happyjellycatsquid We are not against brass instruments. They are gorgeous and amazing when played properly with technique of great adequacy and beautifully with gorgeous tone many would die for. However, Glenn is one of the very few who goes above and beyond to match these standards while the majority of brass musicians, artists, and peers in his position do not reach as much to achieve these checkpoints. He should be payed much more by us listeners as an audience and by those who produce and release his albums accordingly. He is a very excellent and extremely talented Euphonist and deserves more praise

[@happyjellycatsquid]

@@jadenkeith6257 I think you’re just really prejudiced 😅 Professional brass players are usually talented because that’s kind of their job and they would loose it otherwise 😅

[@keithteepen]

Great playing, Glenn! It was so great performing with you! Until next time!

[@rp1894]

holy shit bro. that's how that one goes. congrats on the definitive recording of this master work. bravo! I must learn this piece now. this will forever live rent free in my noggin.

[@derrickburry1788]

Just received my copy of The Green Hill today. Glenn Van Looy, your sound and interpretation of this music is outstanding. Love your sound!!

I'm so glad I came here by accident. How are such perfect articulations achieved on the euphonium? I must know how

Beautiful, I could listen to this all day! Nice vibrato nice and smooth.

[@thelegendarybacon723]

Well. I am a 15 years old High school euphonium player. I never thought of playing this instrument. With this song, it showed me the capibilities of the euphonium and the standard of a euphonium player I must reach.

[@samnoden2713]

Absolutely brilliant. I really want to play this with a band sometime exactly like this recording. If I made it sound like this as well it would be amazing 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@andrewjackson1612]

Amazing isn't it Sam! I want a go too!

[@mopierterts]

Prachtige uitvoering, ik heb zonet aan onze lieven heer gevraagd uw uitvoering nog op te nemen in zijn hemelse muziek bibliotheek❤️💐👏

[@陳小灰-d9l]

the best version I've listened

[@blackout9875]

God..I can't believe that this was almost 9 years ago this is a beautiful piece and coming from a euphonium would practice a piece like this almost every day, this really motivates me to move forward with the up. Aka I'm addicted to this song, help Update: Also got the music, now let's see how far I can get Update 2: I got notes down but slowed down tempo, reached to the second page! Update 3, i got 95% of notes and rhythm before the jig which is before 3:36 Update 4 Finally reached the 3rd page of the music. Update 5:got about 80 percent of the notes and rhythm down
