Video: Exploring Double-Bell Techniques, Part 2 - the Yodel

Rating: 2 votes, 3.00 average.
As I mentioned in my previous post, it is sometimes hard to imagine what the double-bell euphonium might be used for today if it had remained more popular throughout the the 20th Century. Here is my next experiment, getting a yodel effect. For this, I chose a fairly simple song from The Sound of Music, "The Lonely Goatherd." This also scratches another itch - to do more with Broadway and movie music.

I have my eyes on another more complex example, but it will be while before I get to it. The preparation time will be considerable and there are other projects at the head of the queue.

See what you think:

    I finally found time to hear this piece. Very musical. I would be nice to hear more using this yodel technique.
