Just spotted a crewman on the NBC TV show - Smash - carrying a bell front euphonium for a prop in Debra Messings apartment. I guess no one can play it, though. Sort of an advertisement but not, in...
Scott of the Antartic
1948 technicolor movie of Captain Scott's adventure to the South Pole in 1912. As his ship leaves the dock in England, a Navy band (of course Navy) is playing a farewell tune...
Arthur Lehman liked light springs. When he gave me his horn, the springs were so light the pistons bounced up and down a bit too much. Brian Bowman played Arthur's horn for me with the light springs...
Harps and euphoniums. Reminds me of a story Arthur Lehman told me about hearing Harold Brasch play with a harp in the Sail Loft many years ago. The wedding went very well, but I played better in...
google Fentone , I've found some good pieces therevbmodified
Our community band is blessed to have Ron Foster, retired from the U.S. Marine Band playing tuba with us. At our last concert, he played Tico Tico and blew the audience away! He is playing again in...
Rehearsal today and the wedding is on and I'm playing Trumpet Voluntary, Pavane (Fauvre') and Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring. Organist commented how nice the euphonium sounds in the church. Had never...
I can't remember where it is or can't find my first post about this, but I am playing a wedding this month. One of the euphonium players in my community band - her daughter is getting married - has...
My community band will perform this piece twice this spring in concert. I had never played it. It has a first and second euphonium part. VERY fun to play the 1st part as it has several nice solos and...
Watched this 1996 movie on IFC (Independent Film Channel) the other night. Very early in the movie there is a funeral scene with a small brass band marching to the grave site. Two baritones were in...
My community band sight read this march last night. Arranged by William Berz & published by Schirmer. Good upper range workout for the euphonium. It reminds me of The Standard of St. George.vbmodified
Definitely will perform Nymphalin on April 18th with my community band. Gay Corrie came through with a fresh score and band parts. The slow tempo demands big breaths.vbmodified
the Buckley arrangement of Danny Boy is a crowd pleaservbmodified
I believe Mantia was recorded about 1898 or 1899 on cylinder. He is listed in Glenn Bridges "Pioneers in Brass" book as having recorded the solo "Do You Love Me?" in 1898 accompanied by piano. It...
I'll find out how it sounds tonight: Gay Corrie arranged it for me and my community band will give it a run through this evening.vbmodified
Also with Carol Channing who does a vamp routine with a small orchestra. She takes turns playing all the instruments except the tuba ! Guy is playing a large silver upright. Saw it last night on TCM...
The latest ITEA journal issue is out but on-line at the moment. Have not received my paper copy in the mail. There are several nice tributes and remembrances of Arthur in the issue. The cover photo...
Just watched the 1938 movie - "Alexander's Ragtime Band" with Tyrone Powers, Ethel Merman, Don Ameche, and Jack Haley (tin man from the Wizard of Oz). 50 minutes into the movie, the guys are...
I have listened to the lovely Nymphalin solo played by a violinist in the U S Marine Band, many times, and I wonder if this is suited as a euphonium solo with wind band? I have a contact who will...
Yep, a tuba was spotted at a beer fest in Germany while the Griswolds were on vacation. This was too easy.vbmodified
About 22 minutes into this end-of-the-world movie, you will see an apparent Salvation Army band marching along and a euphonium player with his horn.vbmodified
Ok, we were watching The Right Stuff on DVD last night. Late last night. I didn't have my glasses on, but there is a spot about halfway into the movie where a small military base band plays at a...
I'm still looking for this solo with renewed interest since I recently heard Steven Mead play it on Bella Italia. I found it on brassband.co.uk for 28 pounds. Also think I spotted it on a German...
Thanks, Pat. Mr. Corrie told me he had a line on getting it a few years ago, but passed it up. Nice piece of music.vbmodified
