Thank you Andy!

Thank you Jose!!

Yes a very classy interpretation! All horn players did a wonderful job.

that's true.. That's how Suren wanted it. I don't think I will get rich selling such a score

That's very cute! I would prefer a recording made by you rather than the digital sounds

it may be easier to be expressive in a live playing. When you record the voices one by one it is challenging to have finesse for minuscule details, you can't change the tempo, impossible to do Rubato. And, obviously, the arrangement is very difficult....

Thank you Ryan!!

of course, or euphonium, tuba! Suren Babayan wanted to record this himself and he only wanted horn parts

Thanks Melona for the kind words, they encourage me to continue the work with enthusiasm. Suren did a fantastic job recording this. Check out his channel, he has a lot of great other recordings

@@danturcanu5149 You're welcome ^^ Yes I already checked his channel out right after your video and I can agree: Great playing 👏

absolutely!!

da, desigur! Aranjamentele au o latura mai creativa iar transcrierile cer o anumita rigurozitate. Scrieti-mi in privat la ce va ganditi. Gasiti emailul in descrierea videoului

🙏 thank you!

Multumesc 😊

I am glad you liked it! Yes, I had some fun making the introduction. It is like a variation on the main melody (which is augmented). You can see that dilated original melody on the 1st horn and then horn 3 in measures 8-9. It's a fun exercise to take a give melody and put it into a different light.

Thank you!!

Thank you Jamal! Suren will be very happy to read this

I am glad you liked it. I got to learn the word 'bussin'. Win win for both of us

that's good to hear

that's true, would be wrong if it was in a symphonic piece. There are some composers I saw who also, sometimes, ignored the 1-3-5-7, 2-4-6-8 distribution. I only do it like this in ensemble music, SATB. Asked a few big horn players and they said, as long as horn 1 and 4 are clear, 2 and 3 doesn't really matter. But you are right, of course

Hi John, please write to me an email at danturcanu@justforhorns.com

first come, first served :)

You are 100% correct, that is the typical symphonic arrangement of the horns. I had discussions with some big horn players and they encouraged me to write the arrangements like an SATB choir score as long as I don't mix too much the horn range.

Thank you!!! I appreciate this a lot. Hopefully I'll get a real recording soon and add the complete piece.

I was worried the unusual modulation towards the end may seem a bit cringe but maybe it wasn't too unpleasant

Thank you for the kind words! I will do my best to continue and improve my compositions and arrangements.

Thank you, Mario!

Thank you Ansar!

Thank you Joel!

I actually am working on an Opera album together with a horn friend. Great recommendations, I will prepare all of them

you have to be persistent in your search :)

Aaron, what if you record all the parts and I help you putting them together? Thank you for supporting my work

Thanks Ben, I am very happy to know this. I would gladly replace the crappy Finale sounds with your video. I would always trade a new arrangements score for a simple recording

That's how it was requested by a Japanese horn orchestra . I made a octet version too

Thank you! You have a very funny name, I suck at music too, but important is to do it with passion and honesty. Allow me to share some things behind composing this piece. It was a little language/music experiment. I took a modern Romanian poem (that is the country of my origins) and recited it emphatically. I listened carefully to the rhythm and intonation of the verses and wrote it down like a music dictation. That became the melody played by the horn. The piano is trying to reflect the mood of the poem as I felt it.

thank you! As soon as I find someone to volunteer... Writing the arrangement is easier than playing it

@@danturcanu5149 some music transcription software is free for a limited period upon activation and could help you save time. But we surely do appreciate you and thank you for sharing your talent.

Thank you Ian! I sincerely appreciate that

Thank you Luc! On a silly tone I would say, if you volunteer to record a full version, I will make it for you :)

thank you!
