write sounded note

reference note is C below middle C on the second space of bass clef:

highest note- go three octave above

lowest- tritone below

I think it's the only brass that goes 3 oct. instead of two oct. above basic pitch?

Find basic pitch (key of instrument)

highest: 2 oct. above

lowest: tritone below

1) a) hunting horn type solo... Perfect intervals, triads, scale motion

b) Hunting horn type solo with some chromatic passing tone thanks to valve development

2) simple melodies in middle range of piano (due to drive and intensity in this range)

corno, corni

Back in the day, in Italy, they use horns to make the corn grow faster, since corn was totally not native to Italy. So they just went ahead and named the horn section "corni"

Oh also, they sometimes made really weird pornos featuring a lone horn soloist, hence the hybrid term "corno"

cor, cors

French is just plain hard"cor" when it comes to horns. and lovin'. and eiffel towers.

horn, hornër

little jack hornër sat in a corner.  He was German and he was playing more than one horn.

3 things about transposition:

1) affects mostly treble clef-playing instruments

2) When a transposing instrument reads a C, the note is the key of the instrument itself

3) The sounding note is lower than the C (with a few exceptions in smaller instruments)

characteristics of cylindrical brass

brighter, stronger (louder)

more penetrating sound

i.e. trumpets, trombones

warmer, darker, more reticent

less penetrating

i.e. everything besides trumpets and trombones

Three things horns are good for

1) solos (second most used solo instrument)

2) accompaniment

3) melodies in unison

1) sustained

2) rhythmic (i.e. "oompa" of waltzes)

bouché

Think Bobby bouché quit school or was retarded or something in Waterboy or billy madison or whatever f'ing adam sandler movie.  He STOPPED doing something.. or something. because he was french.  probably trying to french kiss something or someone.

gestopft

think German Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. it looks similar.  and they stopped a lot of good times.

1st position:  F below bass clef (not a new note, but a different location to play this note)

2nd position: E below bass clef (also (not a new note, but a different location to play this note)

3rd position: Eb series

4th pos: D

5th: Db

6th: C

NO SEVENTH POS. WITH TRIGGER

1st: alto clef

2nd: tenor clef

3rd: bass clef

1) they are the bottom of the brass section

2) sustained chords (very wide dynamic range; accompany or background)

3)  all trombones in unison for a strong emphasis (i.e. Dvorak's new world symphony)

Scoring for brass

 if the dynamic is mf or louder:

Scoring for brass

below mf, 

Scoring for brass quartet

horns vs. trumpets 

minimum:

two flutes

two oboes

two clarinets

two bassoons

plus any or all of the auxiliary woodwinds:

piccolo, alto flute, English horn, Eb clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabassoon

keep in mind that any section could split to sub an aux inst.

two ways to notate a divisi passage where only one section of instrument plays

(woodwinds)

1) a. for top part, Have "1." or "1°" or "primo" written above the passage

b. for bottom part, have "2." or "2°" or "secondo" written above passage

2) a. written whole not rests below the passage

b. written whole not rests above the passage

Legni

or Fiati

woodwinds

notate both instruments play in unison

1. write "a2" above passage ("to two" in Italian")

2. double-stem if the instruments play same notes in just a few parts

woodwinds in orchestra

divisi and unisono

never used in orchestra for woodwinds!!!!! just show 1. or 2. and its dynamics when the part enters (below the staff unless 1 and 2 have different dynamic markings at the same time)

woodwinds

slurring vs. phrasing

1) sometimes the slur marks coincide with each other

2) the unified effect will be achieved, but sometimes slurs don't line up because strings have to change bow

Flatterzunge

It looks like fluttertongue if a drunken German man said it.  "FLATTERZUNGE!"

Ottoni

Oboe, Oboi

Italians + Oboes= "O Boi!"

Hautbois, Hautbois

(yes it's the same)

Oboe, Oboen

old spelling: Hoboe, Hoboen

(this was back when the instruments wandered around homeless)

mit Dämpfer

gedämpft

horn

It. return to open (unmute)

horn

safe lower limit for stopped notes

horn

in muting and stopping, the pitch ____ and ____

muting: lowers pitch a half step

stopped: raises pitch a half-step

right?? please correct me if I'm wrong....

hint: muting lowers the volume of something. stopping is the opposite. In fact, if you tell some people to stop doing something, they'll just get even more obnoxious or even raise things a half step

horn

composite term calling for stopped and brassy tone

Schalltrichter auf

or

Schalltrichter Hoch

how to achieve lontano

(horns)

marking: pp or ppp

"lontano"

some players employ a partly stopped tone

others stop completely

others play open extremely softly

lowest note: go a tritone down from key of tuba

highest: 2 oct up from key

what is the "bore of the brass instrument?"

he said we needed to know this.....???????
