Thread: Holst Second Suite in F - March

  1. #11
    Revisiting this thread as we are doing this piece this year. And I realised I've been treating the line as a slur all these while! Very good tips here and on Mr. Werden's video
    "Never over complicate things. Accept "bad" days. Always enjoy yourself when playing, love the sound we can make on our instruments (because that's why we all started playing the Euph)"

    Euph: Yamaha 642II Neo - 千歌音
    Mouthpiece: K&G 4D, Denis Wick 5AL

    Carlyle Weber of the US Army Field Band many years ago demonstrated how one might play this popular solo three different ways. One with just an okay sound, one with projection and vibrato, and the third using legato tonguing. This video was uploaded in 2012 but pretty sure it’s at least 25 yrs old. Carlyle played with the Field Band for 23 years and has been retired at least 20 yrs I think.

    Amazing how different techniques lead to such different sounds.
