I from Colombia and playa this beutiful instrument

[@pauls5745]

there is no other instrument like the horn, with dark mellow tones and also possible to play it brightly and clear. they don't just live in the middle range - very nice low and pedal tones and the soft mids up to an upper octave of bright but not crass high notes... horn ensembles are my all-time favorite.

[@ChurchTrombonist]

As a trombonist for 25 years, I've been in several trombone choirs and can echo your statement about horn choirs and the range on the horn. Haunting and expressive. Gotta love trombone choirs that shake the floor, but the horn choir ties at 1st!

[@4Gehe2]

I like to imagine that the percussionist was also a horn player, but who had lost his mouthpiece so he was told to play the percussion.

[@Frhomo2319]

I would say personally that I prefer the French Horns tonality, much more than a trumpet, I've heard BEAUTIFUL trumpets... but i give the award for tone to the french horn .

[@stevenhuckabee8926]

RIP my lips at 8:00. That high is unfair. Ouch. Sounds beautiful, but ouch.

[@warnerhutchison9899]

Wonderful horn playing! I am a retired hornist and composer.

[@Mellomaphoneluver]

This is just amazing. I, myself play Horn and am forever going to remember this. I'm also first chair in my section...but I couldn't even imagine playing this yet. It's just...there are no words to describe it. Breathtaking is all I can say.

[@PLTConductorComposer]

I remember playing this with 12 horns, me on horn 3. It was amazing, as I was playing with some spectacularly good players that day, myself only having played for a couple of months. Really brilliant piece.

[@vgrof2315]

in junior high school, many years ago, I temporarily switched from trombone to horn to sit near pretty Ruth B, hornist. who moved to our school. The director knew what was up, but approved. Have loved the horn all these years. I think of those days at the sound of beautiful horn music like this performance.

Well, how did it go?

One of my favorite songs played on the greatest instrument there is. Fantastic piece.

Are you guys still together after two years..?

[@yarnewyffels7105]

@@mianavarro4102 hey sorry for the late responds but thanks for asking. No we are not together anymore. After a relationship of almost 4 years she left me for someone else. This happend about an year and a half ago. I was unhappy for a verry long time but now i'm happy again and enjoying life! I still listen to this song though.... It's so beautifull!

[@ssjess2504]

I remember playing this during my undergrad. I played the low part (12th? I cant remember how many parts there were lol) but it was so fun! I loved playing pedal notes the most ❤

[@briannasilva]

My dream was always to play french horn, but my band director always said I had to stay on trumpet. I'm determined to switch over to french horn my senior year. Being lead trumpet was cool, but I feel like french horn is such a more expressive instrument, and breath taking. I love it.

[@TehGreenDragon]

I might cry.. This is beautiful.

[@Michelmanhorn]

No sé cuantos escalofríos de placer me dan cada vez que escucho esta maravilla,pero me siento transportado en oleadas de placer sensorial......Sublime. No existe instrumento capaz de prodocirme estas sensaciones. Sólo la Trompa es capaz de producirme tales Orgasmos auditivos.

[@geopaxo]

the high notes are so impressive

[@sean4467]

I'm going to be a Junior and i just switched from the same chair position your in and i couldn't be happier!

[@Emma4music98]

amazing! one of the most beautiful pieces on earth. hearing it just makes me want to cry!

[@boo3740]

I LOVE THIS.

[@midnightwolf313]

Do it. I've known a few trumpeters that have made the switch, and have been very happy for it!

[@DianaArtemis48]

[@nicolas451eldorado]

this is my childhood :) horn is the best instrument ever

[@dakotastrasinger1]

That's exactly what I did! I'm lead trumpet and horn at our school because I switched in like 8th or 9th grade! I totally agree with you! Go for it!

[@Terrylamparo]

Très très belle pièce. Lors du stage que je viens de faire, David Guerrier jouait cette pièce en tant que soliste. Magnifique !!

Amazing!

[@j.markowski24]

absolutely love the sound of french horns.

[@kannossom403]

Espectacular!!!

[@neondeath07]

You can play in groups in college and NOT be a music major. There wouldn't be enough people or instrumentation in groups if it WAS only just people majoring (and minoring) in music. And with the work load that physics brings having music in your life will be a stress reliever.

[@tjmatney8950]

🤩 I took a big sigh of relief cause I wanna major in physics, but music is my life... I’m a little late to the conversation but whatever

[@TheGlennLife]

Do it, its totally worth it. I only go back to trumpet for marching band season. It is a difficult instrument. Harder than trumpet, but is incredibly fun. The other sections make a piece sound beautiful, the horns make people want to cry.

[@neondeath07]

I play both. At the moment in the band I'm in I'm playing mostly horn. I miss the trumpet a bit but I have ways of playing here and there. I love both. Do what YOU want to do, its your choice in the end, all your director can do is just recommend.

The 'french horn' is the instrument, the 'London Horns' is a group of 'french horn players' from London.

[@jochigarki3117]

i´m playing this with 14 horns 12 and 2 solo horns i´m playing the 12th

[@brechtschotte2341]

12th part so epic, make sure you play the lowest D in the end ;)

[@RadikalCTI]

Brecht Schotte Where could I get the part please? Thanks :)

[@briannasilva]

But I'm determined my senior year I will play French Horn. I know i'm second chair on trumpet in my band, and one of the lead players but i want to be happy, and playing french horn would make my life.

[@KH2fanatic2010]

[@Woody797979]

in order to cause further confusion: The 'Vienna Horns' are a group of horn players from Vienna playing the actual 'Vienna Horn' which is slightly different from the 'french horn'

[@MercenaryLocusGaming]

I am actually making arrangement o the song for concert band. I too, like many people on here, play the beautiful French horn.

[@SandyTDS]

Mercenary Locus Gaming same. Do you play double horn?

[@osolomons]

Are you dissing my instrument!?! :) Trumpet is a cool instrument and I think just as expressive if plated well

[@MrThechosenidiot]

Horns ftw

[@KarlBonner1982]

Has London Horn Sound done any video game music like Dragon Quest, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger? Because golden-era RPG music deserves the same attention that movie soundtracks have traditionally gotten...

[@KarlBonner1982]

Tell your band director "French horn or I QUIT!"

[@catostre]

It literally took mine from my fourth to halfway through my tenth grade year to finally say, "You really want to play horn, huh?" (I switched from trumpet)

I don't even speak Spanish but even I can understand that.

im in sixth grade, and i play the french horn, tho it is very difficult to play, it is by far my favorite instument.

[@DKplays1221]

I wish my director would get our better horns fixed. Right now i have this old one... its too old, it sounds like a trumpet and isn't expressive anymore

[@colesorensen3540]

Expression isn't in the horn. The tone and ease of playing is dependent on the horn, but the rest is all you

Thanks for letting us know.

[@colesorensen3540]

They definitely have a different sound. I like them both better on different days. If I want that nice edge, I'll listen to LHS, but if I'm in a more mellow mood, then Vienna all the way

[@jonathanbartling7342]

This song is great, but I prefer the vienna horns version. It just sounds better!

Dude, I have that exact horn in your profile picture. It's a really nice instrument!
