Little Fugue in G minor - J.S.Bach - Canadian Brass

[@its_shxblvrbs1786]

THE CLEANLINESS ON THE TUBA IS AMAZING

And the trombone is just beauty

as a fellow tuba player you can tell he knows his articulation and if you were next to him you'd be blown away by the power behind it

[@Omaewamo65]

Well I guess that would explain why is considered to be at the top of the profession lol. ^0^

[@BRMusic404]

Chuck is the only original Canadian Brass member still in the group

[@davidcarolejoyce7976]

You have no idea how actually hard this is to play and they are so talented that it sounds easy. It is not, especially the trumpet parts.

[@stephenlocke7891]

I definitely agree. I play trumpet, and lead on it in a number of bands, but i certainly could never play this.

[@y33tboy97]

Stephen Locke never is a strong word. I’m trying to play it and I’m only in 9th grade but I guess you gotta start somewhere

[@SebbersG]

I’m playing this in a high school quintet and the tuba part isn’t the hardest thing (which I play) but the trumpet parts are pretty difficult

[@uliutz]

You have to keep in mind that they play with eb trumpets and you most certainly play with bb trumpets which makes it a lot harder. Highest note in this is a c, from what i'm hearing, not too easy playing that note nice and smooth.

[@bikkies]

It's probably not too controversial to say many believe J S Bach to be the finest composer of fugues the world has yet seen. I know this piece from the organ score but this works superbly for brass, each voice adding a unique and complementary tone, strengthening the whole while underlining the counterpoint. Excellently delivered.

[@maximtsai1856]

When most people think "Brass", they think loud sharp notes played in a band. This performance shows that Brass can be soft and subtle as wel.

[@trumpetvids]

These guys are schooled in the classical approach to playing. Everything smooth, refined. Very different than a jazzer's approach.

[@mollystubbs-davies9309]

Maxim Tsai Like Mnozil Brass say:'Brass music is a broad term'

[@samuelperlman9123]

trumpetvids Jazz brass can be very subtle as well, look at Miles Davis - he was able to play very soft, smooth solos as well as more sharp passages.

[@Kingwut117]

trumpetvids That offends me :( Some of my softest and most emotional pieces came from my jazz band ballad playing :(

[@mastacheifa1182]

I just think of DCI

[@pedrod.7576]

The fact that you need 5 brass players to play this shows how much of a genius you have to be to play organ. Mad respect for organists. Great performance by the bass band, too, of course!

[@thatverydepressedfancylad]

The independence an organist has with his hands and feet are just marvelous!

[@bcstechnologylimited896]

I've heard countless renditions of the Little Fugue over some 60 years and this one continues to be one of the most exciting.

[@kishascape]

Yeah Justin Trudeau really slays it on the Trombone

[@williamsaca35]

00:36 chuck is singing along :)

[@timothymiller2951]

Amazing how with only five brass instruments that they stay true to the original melody, harmony, dynamics, and tempo 100% of the time!

[@youtuuba]

Amazing how somebody can write a comment with so little knowledge of what they are writing about. - Bach wrote this as a 4 voice fugue for organ. It is not at all amazing that a brass quintet can play all the parts when they have five instruments to do it with. - Why would they NOT stay 'true to the original melody'? - Why would they NOT stay true to the harmony (which, BTW in a fugue is buried in the contrapuntal interweaving of the parts), so it would require a major recomposition to NOT have the harmony come out the same as Bach wrote it? - There are no original dynamics. Organ parts are not known for having dynamic markings, as the similar effect is achieved by how the part of written and how each organist sets up the stops on the organ. The brass quintet pretty much just plays each part at the same dynamic level throughout, and lets Bach's writing take care of the dynamic effects. - There are no original tempo markings in the sense that there would be for many pieces of ensemble music. The organist performs at whatever tempo they feel is appropriate. The brass quintet does likewise.

[@doppled]

@@youtuuba elitism at its finest

[@youtuuba]

@@doppled , unintelligible comment. If you have a point to make, write clearly.

[@WonjoonSeo]

@@youtuuba They complimented the brass quintet which was incredibly well performed. To counter a lot of what you said: - Brass playing is very different than organ playing. While yes it is more impressive to have the ability to play this on organ by yourself, do not say it is not amazing. Each part is written to some of the maximum reaches that these instruments can be performed, while maintain clear clarity and articulation. There wasn't a single chip I heard through the entire recording. - Isn't it arrangers choice to stay with the main melody or not? There are many styles of music and the melody could have been changed to make it easier or in a different stye. - I have seen so many different styles of the same music a lot of the time that its incredible what people who know their theory can do. Rearranging takes time and effort, but when its over it can lead to something reharmonized beautifully and sometimes better than the original. - This group 100% did not stay with the same dynamic the entire time. If that is what you heard, then you are mistaken. The entire group has a relative dynamic but there are time when the volume increases and decreases. Including that, each player seamlessly weaves dynamically, making room for each other and popping out when they need to. - There are a lot of ideas in music that are not communicated directly through paper but often recordings and collections of style that people played in. There is definitely no one tempo but there is a commonly agreed upon speed. If they played it 50% or 200% the speed of a standard playing it wouldn't fit the exact style it was written for would it?

[@WonjoonSeo]

@@youtuuba Also don't insult doppled for pointing out that you are hating for no reason. They had a clear point written out pretty well in my opinion.

[@thevectrexlover]

Listen to this again and just pay attention to the french horn's part. It's awesome.

[@michaelmoccio2225]

Ikr, I play horn and damn does that part look fun

[@briannagalindo5377]

Michael Moccio Ive played it and it's the funnest piece I've ever read. Hitting that b flat above the staff was a challenge but it really helped me expand my range :)

[@izizwhatiziznt]

as a horn in high school performing this for a chamber piece... I'm scared

[@itsmaribell1415]

In 2017, every week after my gen psych class I would go down the hallway and sit outside the music appreciation class and listen to them play this through the closed door. Idk why they made them listen to it every single week but I never knew the name of it all this time and I loved it. It's lived rent-free in my head for years and I never knew the name. I just hummed the tune into Google and it sent me here. The nostalgia is unreal. What beautiful music 😍

[@actuallyaardwolf]

Nice! It was originally written for organ if you didn’t know, but I love this version.

[@Moonbath216]

That tuba, though, it makes this rendition. This whole sound is simply fantastic.

[@SnuggleBear1970]

I could wake up to this, every morning, for the rest of my life.

[@sarahsanderson2787]

I agree with you its amazing

[@bean_ctm724]

1:30 to 1:50 is an amazing part. I love how the parts switch from each instrument.

Just when I thought they couldn't achieve impossible music like this, I find a video of the canadian brass playing this!!! Absolutely insane!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Their wonderful performance is full of admiration, and emotion and comfort The spiritual depth of Bach‘s music is immeasurable, and beyond description

[@DavidMorehead]

I have been very fortunate to see them live many times. I saw the 80's version and now I am seeing the next generation (with one of the founding member on tuba) and they sound just as amazing. You guys inspire so many musicians. Thank you for all the great music.

[@Moonbath216]

I will always be partial to trombone since it's my instrument, Achilles is superb, but the whole group and rendition is so clean and amazing from every single member. This is how fantastic brass ensembles should balance and sound.

[@folpon]

One of the most wonderful little pieces of music ever written.

[@nicholastapia25]

Love that tuba tone

[@SlovenskyRaj]

I'm happy they gave the horn the 3rd (of the chord) in the final chord. ❤😊 Horn and trombone are basically the hardest instruments to play cleanly, so hats off to both.

[@thethikboy]

Bach's glorious counterpoint translates to any combination of instruments

Yes, the world would have been more beautiful had the valved trumpet been invented 200 years earlier.

[@bachstrad1994]

This is so clean. Perfect matching of articulation, timbre, intonation... everything. Unreal. I can't even tell Coletti is playing C while Ridenour is playing Bb.

[@TheMoromos]

@@Atptplyrdefinitely a C trumpet. Looks like a C trumpet and the troll at the end he only uses middle valve for F sharp and then plays the last note open G.

[@MrSpectre4]

I played horn all through my junior and senior years at school. At 17 I audition for the Marine Corps band, but my parents wouldn’t sign my papers to go into the Corps. Many years serving in Germany I got the chance to play a German quintet for fun. I played a trumpet then. In the middle ‘80’s I went Army Reserves and played with a pops band on horn and had the chance to play with a real orchestra at least once. Called back to active duty in Iraq ended my playing anything. I haven’t been able to get to it yet, but I’m hoping to.

[@Melodic_Alchemy]

to do this on brasswind instruments is amazing! this is pretty amazing! (I used to play this on the pipeorgan... one of my favourite Bach pieces!)

[@Inanisvoid]

I get to see them in December... Been waiting for years. I just want to meet Achilles!!!
