when your girlfriend wants to hang but you got Copland rehearsal...

I had the great honor of playing the principal part to Copland's Buckaroo Holiday. This is a real treat to play. Definitely some of the goofier trombone writing you will see written in orchestra.

In high school I got asked to fill a percussion part in rodeo, and that was the hardest piece I’d played up until that point. So many exposed bass drum hits lol but I’ll love rodeo forever now :)

[@KKing-3]

Same... except I'm a French horn player but played lead trumpet for that semester because we were short trumpet players... what a piece.

[@hiiexist479]

Is rodeo this song? It sounds like itd be fun

[@Baby_Seal]

Awesome as always 😂 I completely felt that *“YEEEEHAW!”*

[@MaxHolleyBC]

YEEEEEHAAAAW

[@oscaradeaza1203]

There’s actually a highway in Florida that’s named “YEEHAW”

[@nightfox-7773]

Man, I love the acoustics in that room

[@Luca-rh2ze]

Just seeing the distinct style of the Copland sheet music is giving me flashbacks to playing his music in high school

[@cleo4922]

My high school played this piece last year in collaboration with the Orchestra and Band. Unfortunately, the Orchestra players weren’t participating vocally. I was part of a meager 3 trombone section and had a flashback at the end of the video where my buddy was playing the translation solo. Thanks for the memories

[@EchoSnake999]

Timo I love your channel. The power of the trombones is too immesnse

[@GeorgeStreicherMusic]

One of my favorite pieces - this was such a treat to watch and hear!

[@isaacgalvez4181]

Could you tell me the name of the piece please?

[@franziskaweie3898]

The part with the tempo is so iconic. Last rehearsal we played the medley "dance film highlights" (including Flash dance, time of my life, xanadu and you're the one that I want) my conductor and teacher was relaying the wrong tempo at t"ime of of my life". Me being my bored self decided the notes for French horn were so unimportant in that piece that I simply grabbed the notes for tenor horn marked the still important parts in French horn and basically played tenor horn with French horn parts. At the moment were "time of my life" was WAAAAAYYYYY too slow I just went with a slightly faster tempo. Everybody noticed. Conductor asked what the heck I'm doing. My response: " The tempo is slower than before but not as slow as the beginning." Conductor admitted I was right and that we had that part down so we could already play at the written/originally rehearsed tempo

[@wraith2939]

1:04 Timo: **winks just after the Glockenspiel plays his note** Me : « We were on the verge of greatness ! We were this close ! »

[@Baby_Seal]

The way he stares into our soul 😭

[@thisguy41487]

I love that chord at the end. So warm and fuzzy.

[@-peyat]

plz post a full version of it in this format

[@memes101audries4]

Loved it! < 3

[@TheStablehorse]

Great playing. ❤️ That wallpaper though 🤩😍

[@catycat28meow]

This is awesome!

[@SilverAg11]

Nice, I’m playing buckaroo holiday as well. Can’t play the solo that cleanly though, nice work!

[@ugiboogy1111]

great tone!

[@craigdupree1687]

Copeland is always fun to play. Love Applachian Spring with it's shifting time signatures, and Danzon Cubano.

[@respectfullytrashed4385]

The way his eyes flip to the camera during the first solo scares me

[@klarinette]

Sounds great!! And yay Woolsey Hall!

[@maxsilva11]

Oh man, that Woolsey Hall reverb. Now I'm gonna be all nostalgic for undergrad all day.

[@Nobody-uu6ki]

I love the part where he plays trombone

[@Baby_Seal]

0:38 …Kappa.. Had me rolling on the floor 😂

[@_Gingi_Berri]

Yoo I saw a short of this in a different POV!! You always seem to ace this stuff (not just bc of practice)

[@jonbetts8473]

Dude, you have a great round orchestral tone that I just want to curl up in. Bravo.

[@waschte123]

Legend says that's the only piece he can play..

[@mandarbamane4268]

I remember it was Nyan cat before

[@DavidReyes-rh7ui]

Tone is insane!

[@book5ter]

i need to listen to more of Coplands stuff. Fanfare for the Common Man is an all time favorite but i don't know much else from him.

[@GorillaWithAPhone]

That’s the best yeehaw I think I’ve ever heard

[@foofy14]

That reverb is so lush

[@OdinWright]

no way I'm seein this from the trombone's pov now

[@peraon-rs]

Imagine playing in the middle 2 movements *cries in bass trombone*

[@Avstinato]

Sounds great! What ensemble are you playing with?

[@carolussex]

This is why I play trombone

[@lucasmadaris5485]

At measure 23 that key signature got me tweakin

[@4dots76]

Im always in a band i play the trumbone and sax

[@dannyalford1755]

Hope you’re enjoying Yale man!

[@gormauslander]

This song is a game of chicken between the trombonist and conductor

[@itamarbar9580]

I think I recognize this hall!

[@SilverAg11]

It’s Woolsey. Unless it has a clone that looks just like it

[@Hebb44]

Wish I could have good tone like you lol

[@AriannaCunningham]

Definitely relatable! Also, is this what one your rehearsals is like?

[@ndgoliberty]

HE PLAYED IT SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Sarah-xx9je]

Coplandddddd!!

[@Cay_k]

YEEEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAWWWW

[@jasmine9581]

[@conman90125]

Yes

[@recreationallifting]

[@cryptosans6864]

I’m supposed to play 3rd Horn for Rodeo, I’m only a sophomore in high school and I’m panicking. I have to learn it by Jan 19

[@BlackSpock135]

Yeahhhhh cowboy

[@panpolypuff]

Mmm, Rodeo!

[@cringey_banana8466]

Early and i play the 🎺

[@CraftAgentKing]

Hi, What is the name of the first scene?

[@chub-vr]

nobody wants to talk about how his index finger bends like that on the mouthpiece?

[@epicbrumoment8810]

Damn that echo tho

[@ZipplyZane]

So a slur between two notes on trombone music means a slide? I remember my trombone playing band director teaching about soft tonguing slurs, so I'm surprised by this.

[@thecarrotsarecoming4711]

Many explanations for this. It could be different on the music he’s using, it could be a piece specific theme that isn’t well notated, and it could be a style choice the player or conductor went with.

[@thecarrotsarecoming4711]

Obviously the yehaw wasn’t on the page so the band ma have taken some creative liberty

[@peraon-rs]

The glisses aren't written, but most players who play that solo put them in anyway. They wouldn't normally

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Ohohoh

[@syntax2679]

What do you use to record?

[@TheTeisings]

The trumpet player to your right...can you get me some digits, Timo?

[@jacksonmurphy1324]

umm what

[@disneymatt01]

I’ve hear you play this a couple times now on YT. Still trying to figure out why you glis into the d flat in the second section??

[@andrewburnett5242]

What group are you playing this with?

[@cpcallen]

Most entertaining. But please: leave the captions up long enough to read them. I'd suggest at least twice as long as you have.

[@theAmazingJunkman]

Playing Copeland is always a good time. Greetings from Clarinet land

[@Nigelrathbone1]

Which orchestra is this?

[@parkerblackinton4340]

I’m unfamiliar “girlfriend” What is that?

[@DanDaSavage]

Something true trombone players don’t have

[@PumilateVFX]

@@DanDaSavage lmao not true

[@jamesbrand6202]

SHANIA is the best!!!

[@miciagaming7323]

to the person who runs this channel there is this funny and flashy new game called trombone chap you might want to check it out

[@poggermorphs4599]

[@GamerTime_2002]

The sleigh ride ending Bb always so weird

[@yakinthebox]

4 Ling ling

[@rhas356]

It's never a true Rodeo performance unless the orchestra properly commits to their hollerin'!

[@shilan2155]

😅😅😂

[@ahmadhamad5297]

Same guy who did that funny solo? 😂

[@NebraskanSpeedsolverOffi-zi1bi]

I played this piece in a local orchestra group. Really fun, but the bass trombone part was a little bland for the most part.

[@brycekar065]

Day 192 of commenting!

[@WillSands1701]

why..?

[@jonburton1935]

There’s something really wrong here

[@botboy3603]

Unrelatable, have no girlfriend
