Sleigh Ride from the Oboe Perspective

2 Oboes play Sleigh Ride
(This is the orchestral version)

[@randysmitchell4810]

Whoever came up with the idea to showcase instruments 'up close & personal' - especially the 'specialty' ones - is a saint. I have never enjoyed music as much as I have been lately, especially & primarily, these kinds of instruments. What a beautiful sound to finally so clearly hear.

[@VinOboe]

Thank you! I always think it’s so interesting to hear the orchestra dissected into its parts

[@JoeDFWAviation]

@@VinOboesame! I’m so glad this trend is a thing

[@lisacoddington6014]

This the first time I've seen this trend and I love this!

[@clcneedsalightstick8162]

i think it started with that one video from the trombone's perspective, its such a classic

[@gingerlyrover]

IT FEELS SO MUCH FASTER WHAT IS GOING ON but you guys killed it

[@cyberrblx9863]

i think its sped up

[@CurvyWaffles]

As a clarinet player, I know hard this piece can be. We played the advanced version in my sophomore year of high school. It can be a embouchure killer.

[@818Dimples]

I feel you Faith along with Leroy Anderson's Clarinet 🍬 Candy & Clarinet Cocktail. Henry Mancini wrote Pie In the Face Polka that is a Butt Kicker. Le Api is the most difficult piece for anyone who plays woodwinds.

[@MrAxe802]

love this trend :-D

[@Sammy-bd7jv]

you both have some amazing tone! job well done.

[@VinOboe]

that’s very kind! Thank you

[@cubster16]

As a beginner oboe, this look super hard and very impressive.👏👏👏

keep it up! Thank you :)

[@JDaTopo]

Oboes are superior. I’m currently majoring in oboe performance and we’re not playing sleigh ride in any of my ensembles so I miss this a lot.

[@VinOboe]

Believe it or not, this was my first time performing sleigh ride! You’ll get your chance soon to play it again hopefully

[@ledger8201]

As an oboist myself, I aspire to play with such good tone like you both do.

[@VinOboe]

thank you!

[@helena8465]

I played this song just last week for a concert, but I've been playing oboe for not even a year and I am the only oboist in my orchestra 😢 I can only imagine how it feels to have another oboist playing alongside me. Now I finally heard what both parts together sound like! Great job!

[@SS____________]

The only oboist in my high school! Feel your pain

[@VinOboe]

I didn’t get to play with another oboist until university! It’s worth the wait!

[@maarit613]

Same the first 9 years or so I played in an orchestra I was on my own, and it was so good to finally have an other oboist next to me after that.

[@pamwalton3411]

I was the only oboist while I was in school. Then a 26 year hiatus and, going on four years, I'm the only oboist in my community band. Sight reading new pieces is always tricky, "what other instrument am I playing with now?" "Wait ... is this a solo/exposed part?" "No ... I was just lost ... "

[@nyle-style]

YESS, an oboe version! You guys did great^^ On another note, did you choose the festive reeds on purpose or did it just work out that way 👀

[@VinOboe]

Haha thank you! It just seemed to have worked out that way!

We both play on Loree AKs!

[@Octovoid]

As a trombone player sounds that woodwinds play sound so weird yet beautiful at the same time.

[@anisia-rachel]

as a clarinettist i can hear my part in the background and all of the oboe cues written on my part 😆😂

[@MegaGermanShepherds]

I so relate to pinching the reed a lot when it closes. Hahaha! Love seeing this!

[@VinOboe]

haha we do what we can!

[@woonhakk]

I might switch to oboe and I was wondering why you would need to pinch the reed, thanks!

[@VinOboe]

@@woonhakk it’s a temporary fix for when your reed is starting to die and close up on you. It just to open up the reed allowing for you to blow more air through it

[@woonhakk]

@@VinOboe okay thanks, also, how do you know if your reed is about to close?

[@VinOboe]

@@woonhakk You can feel it close down while you play on it, and pinching it gives it a lil extra sometimes. I closed reed results in a quiet sound!

[@ewill3435]

Yup, I feel this! I played oboe though all of middle and high school, but when I hit college, my classes ate any and all free time. I've been wanting to join the local orchestra for years now, but I'd never have time to practice...
