The Lord of the Rings - Szeged Trombone Ensemble

[@BlazeTheGamer1]

Not gonna lie...That anvil sets that entire scene

[@melutox]

that's what they did in the original score. look it up!

[@BlazeTheGamer1]

Melutox I think it's an amazing part. Never really thought something like an anvil would be so effective for setting a tone.

[@mlizeng]

As a trombonist and Tolkienite, this was epic :D

[@itachi-ps1hm]

This is why the trombone is considered the most powerful instrument

[@portacole3735]

Is you think this is good listen to the canadian brass!!!

[@CrewsTheWildDawg]

itachi8301 Thanks for the compliment! I play trombone and it is stupidly powerful!

[@anacardoso7310]

Crews Owen Same here, each day I fall in love with my trombone :)

[@mccabecompositions]

itachi8301 as a tenor and bass trombonist you are now my hero for saying what I've been trying to explain for years

[@justinc0336]

itachi8301 Don't get me wrong, a trombone sound is amazing, as I play trombone. But if I find a really good trumpet or french horn sound, I'm easily pleased.

[@elrey7608]

Tuba guy: Day 100, they still think I am one of them

There’s a Im-tuba among us

Cute!!!!

Oh My God. I love that Bass Trombone... I think I just fell in love.

[@alanmayagoitia-sixtos4860]

+Diego Rovaglia i know right

[@tuboplover]

I think it's a contrabass bone

[@laneandfriendsmusic754]

@@tuboplover I don't think there is a contra, but just a very intimidating bass though😂😂😂

[@rorybutcher5909]

@@laneandfriendsmusic754 there is a contra. It's got a wider bore, more tubing on both valves, and the slide is doubled over (4 lengths rather than 2).

[@Dogstep]

That hammer and anvil part is both unique and very cool.

[@latino680]

That's what they do in the original Howard shore orchestra :P you should watch it

[@markhorton3994]

Not really unique but really really cool.

[@markhorton3994]

The Wikipedia article on anvils list 26 works by different composers. They include Josef Strauss, Wagner : Das Reingold, Verdi, John Philip Sausa , The Beatles and Metallica as well as a bunch of movie composers. Several other opera composers are mentioned in the discussion after the list. Using anvils is not that rare but it is neat.

[@janAlekantuwa]

I know Holst's Second Suite has a prominent anvil part in the third movement (titled "Song of the Blacksmith") and I know the anthem of the USSR also features anvil.

[@genewilliams617]

GREAT EFFECT!!!

[@schmelzberger3858]

It’s amazing how well it all blends together, I thought I’d miss some of the other instruments but i was wrong

[@Ysereus]

" so yeah um,. i'm playing in a Band." "nice,which Instrument do ya play?" "Oh, the Anvil you know..." sounds nice.

[@Bruhaustindavis]

the beauty of music.

[@grnphroggy]

It's a legitimate percussion instrument, and not that terribly unusual. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anvil#Musical_instruments

[@vinhoverde3843]

Tbh, my city's concert band used an anvil as a percussion instrument once

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

As a swede and bass trombonist, I can appreciate the warm and beautiful (bonus points for the anvil sound that was cool and sounded like I was living in 1200s Sweden!) yet heroic tone you guys played this with, it sounds oddly nordic which I like! But the harmony between parts and melody switches between parts was exceptionally well done! If I could I would love to go to Hungary for the country it self but also to see you guys live. Budapest and Szeged look like really cool cities to visit Love from Sweden

[@szegedtrombones]

Thank You for your kind feedback! Let us know when you visit our beautiful country, maybe we can meet for some beers;)

[@adamhutchyboy2486]

French horns aren't the only ones who can play this GO TROMBONES

[@matthewmartin3190]

I miss playing trombone. Such a beautiful instrument.

[@DrZytho]

This 1st trombone is such a beast !

[@ProfToad]

The tone is unreal, I would kill to have such control and expression in my tone

[@benjaminwilkin2960]

Bractice

[@LightStreamer]

i got chills when rivendell came on

[@Bruhaustindavis]

lol same it's eargasmic

[@Leon-Hardt]

A worthy (brass) performance of the best soundtrack/score of cinematographic history. Beautiful and epic.

[@joenoble7572]

these basses know what they are doing. Actually moving the crescendos and even more. Awesome performance!!!!

[@BDice42]

6:28 such bass bone, much sound.

[@willginn673]

Wow

[@Rockabillywreck]

So bass.

[@demonfaceINC]

But can we appreciate the tuba hold that pedal tone for like 15 whole seconds

[@laneandfriendsmusic754]

Bass bones like these make me tirelessly persue a dream like this

[@royalcat10]

@@demonfaceINC I counted two breaths, each lasting 4 bars and it's pretty quick too.

[@venomouspine7821]

And this is why i play trombone. (plus, i love lotr)

[@joshisgamin18]

If only l could get a group like this together at school. College band is great, BUT BRASS GROUPS ARE SO MUCH BETTER!

[@matthewharris065]

DO IT! It's so much easier than you think and so much more rewarding as well. I was hesitant to start a group my freshman year in college as I assumed nobody would want to with classes and marching band going on. I was wrong, everyone was all for it.

[@Bruhaustindavis]

I would but everyone else except like two people aren't very good. And it's annoying because they'd be good if they'd ACTUALLY care about band and practice.

[@demonfaceINC]

[@Chef316]

More brass please!

[@gellertgrindelwald7171]

BRASS PLAYERS FOR THE WIN!!! 💪💪💪💪

[@jaman198]

I love the little trombone nods/cues they do to keep in time :)

[@wm-xe2ck]

Amazing. Exciting. Moving. Powerful. Technical. Smooth. Superb. BRAVO!!!! from a former trombonist. Everything I loved about the instrument.

[@szegedtrombones]

Thank You!🙏🏻

[@wkaar15]

1:50 is where I had my eargasm.

[@surferbone82]

I like that the trombone slide doubles as a baton to keep time :)

[@bricepugh6218]

trombones dont get enough love in the band :( Even though we make up 50% of the entire low brass most of the time

[@WhiteTreeRightful]

+Brice Pugh Relatable

[@Bruhaustindavis]

lol same

[@Bruhaustindavis]

We have a really small low brass section and im the only the one that plays like im a trombone player; loud.

[@bricepugh6218]

lol good for you mate

[@ThePsycher666]

my band has three low brass a baritone a tuba and a trombone the rest are flutes,trumpets and a couple clarinets

[@familypaladin]

That guy on anvil at 3:00 rocks. If you want low brass, look for "epic low brass, game of thrones" Killer. 6 Bass bones, 6 contrabasses, cimbassos, tubas, and some tenor horns thrown in just because. Top gun studio players out of New York City.

[@iaintobeezy9484]

thought the anvil guy rocked? check out that bass drum player haha

[@portacole3735]

I saw the game of thrones trombone thing. That was one of the best things I have ever heard. I love youtube. :D

[@janAlekantuwa]

3:11 damn that guy goes ham on the bass drum

[@FromG2eminor]

I'm not typically a wind instrument fan but this group is awesome. Szeged: home of the best paprika and trombone group and my favorite Hungarian "southern" accent...lol

[@paulhathcock129]

I have been playing trombone since 1962 and still play in three orchestras, two bands and a trombone Choir. I have taught brass methods and applied low brass at two universities. These guys are great! Go tbones!!

[@TheUnknownTrombonist]

This is a world class performance! I dig it!

[@bigbyrdstewart5217]

Oh my sweet sweet ears. This is absolutely gorgeous. Do you happen to know when the score to this piece will be published? It would be another (incredibly) fine addition to collection. Looking foreword to playing this sometime in the future!

[@TomislavCuk]

WOW, nice powerhouse playing! Check out the lead player at 5:18-5:26, is he cupping his bottom lip outside of the mouthpiece??? Or is it just an illusion caused by reflection off the outer rim?

High notes and really good tone are cool and all but can we just appreciate the bass trombone railing those runs by himself and the tubist lasting as long as he did holding that cumbersome instrument in his hands granted it is probably an Eb or F tuba.
