Soon May the Wellerman Come is an old shanty. Its title refers to the so-called ‘wellermen’, the supply ships owned by the English Weller brothers, who emigrated to New Zealand at the beginning of the 19th century. The whalers appearing in this song are hoping that such a ship with provisions like tea, sugar and rum, will soon arrive. In 2020 and 2021, the versions by the British folk group The Longest Johns and the Scottish singer Nathan Evans were huge hits on TikTok, leading to a shanty rage on social media. Arranger Seb Skelly didn’t fail to notice this. He created his own version in a catchy arrangement for brass quintet.

Amazing arrangement. Not just the choral version for brass, but a true-sounding brass quintet tune.

[@2ndcornets]

You are fooling yourself, this is just miming to a synthesiser.

[@sarco64]

Beautiful arrangement! Brilliant performance! How can so much talent be packed into five people?

[@susanpogson2592]

[@jakfox44]

Nice job!

[@minor_2nd]

The sound has a full range from a high trumpet all the way down to a tuba, yet there's no tuba/euphonium/horn to be found in the video (except maybe the flugelhorn which has the same range as a standard Bb trumpet), even the trombone is a soprano.

Hi Minor Second, Take a look at this video and learn how Seb creates his brass quintet sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Snm6WkepqLfcU

[@kinexkid]

You should check out the version Isaac Smith did! Ita along the same vein for sure

[@animal_gal_adventures9885]

I actually watched that version before this one

[@astrxfresh3309]

How do you get your trumpet to sound that good?

[@DarthMooMoooey]

I just wanna know what that tuba is called

[@ZMaine]

It's a Flugelhorn. It's pitched down two octaves to simulate a Tuba.

[@matheussantos7119]

What kind of tuba is that?

[@LurkinRhino]

Smol

[@ZMaine]

It's a Flugelhorn pitched down two octaves to simulate a Tuba.

[@ericpalacios920]

it's a French² tuba

[@im_lopez]

He looks like Timo trombone

[@cssizforreal7554]

But why the soprano trombone

[@nokotho3840]

👍🏻

[@michaelchagon]

How are you doing that

[@icewolfgaming2027]

I still dont get why he saying a trumpet is a tuba and a trumpet is a french horn

[@natybug]

It’s because those are the parts they’re playing, he uses software to shift the pitch down to get the bass parts without actually needing a tuba

[@kalebjohnson2550]

That's definitely not a tenor trombone.

[@codyvlogzplyspiano7592]

Looks like an alto

[@codyvlogzplyspiano7592]

Or saprano

[@theunicyclist3440]

It’s a soprano trombone

[@deanfieber6764]

Thats a weird lookin tuba
