Thanks for the love!! I'm a euphonist and there's only two of us in concert- and I'm the only one that plays. Definitely not enough power for such a small yet important section in our band :']
@@jamesfraser4173 I think you may be thinking about Dr. Robert Childs, who is actually David's father. Bob Childs (also a very fine euphonium player) conducted Cory Band from 2000-2012 and David Childs was principal euphonium from 2001-2012. David's uncle is Prof. Nicholas Childs who is conductor of Black Dyke Band. Hope this helps.
It is hard for me to decide which sounds better oboe or euphonium. The oboe, for me, gives the impression of a haunting melody of distance and loss. The euphonium on the other hand sounds pastoral. Possibly a love song played in the distance hills, telling of promise and longing. Well, that's one persons opinion.
I've grown up listening to the Childs Legacy if you will..and while I'm a Roger Behrend fan, you simply cannot deny the elegance and passion that all of the Childs performers bring to the euphonium.
Euphonium is probably the most underestimated instrument, ever. From where I used to live, nobody even knew what it was, until I moved, and I'm the only one in our band, but at least it's recognized here. In LO, they don't know what they're missing. But I always have to explain the difference between the euphonium and baritone... *sigh*
I'm so familiar with this song that It's strange at first to hear a euphonium instead of an oboe. But in a way it's like hearing a bass singer sing a soprano part in another octave - different, but so beautiful.
It was an honor to see this man play in person. I saw him in his first American performance and he was just magical! I can't even begin to describe how much he is an inspiration to me as a euphonium player and a performer. And he's such a nice guy too. I can honestly say that David Childs is one of my hero's.
...the epitome of a euphonium player. I've stuck with the euphonium since the fifth grade just to acheive this very tone quality and level of musical ability.
You can learn how to play the notes, but playing like this is a whole new level. You can't even hear him blow a new note, it's flowing from one into another as if it was an entire different instrument
I played baritone in grade school through Jr. college, then euphonium through the rest of college and grad school. That was absolutely gorgeous! Loved the beauty and steadiness of the final note!
As a fellow euphonium player (in the eighth grade) I absolutely love this! Whenever I practice, I know that as I get farther along I get better. I'm not great at memorizing, but I'll have to do it anyways in marching band next year. (Which I'm excited and anxious for.)
*sniff* Ever since I heard an upperclassman in my school band practice Gabriel's Oboe on euphonium, it's been my favorite brass instrument.. and will probably continue to be my favorite brass instrument for a long time :)
I play this on the oboe..there is something magical about this on the Euphonium..Calming, mellow and enchanting..If I played a bass instrument is would be the Euphonium..really well played!!!
Good for you, keep it up. I didn't actually start caring about band until I heard my High Schools top band before they went to Carnegie Hall (which was when I was in 8th grade, now my Junior year I'm in it playing College level music! ^_^)
Somehow the sound of the euphonium takes you temporarily back in time. I never thought much of the euphonium but I think it has one of my favourite sounds out of the brass family.
WHAT?! THERE ARE EUPHONIUM SOLOISTS??!!! wow... It too is my craft. Today my concert band performed the Ballet Pasisian, with no trombones and I was forced to play there parts, and we recieved second place! woot! go bands!
i am a 7th grader going into 8th and i completely love the euphonium i started at 6th grade and im getting better everyday. My band went to a contest for high schools and we were the first middle school to go to this contest. It was really fun and I hope to be like him one day.
I can't get over this piece of music, i played it with my brass band in a church. It's the most moving melody i have ever heard. You can see the video on my profile but please don't compare it to David lol :)
@musicofmoonlight I agree, this version of David Childs was the first one I've had heard of Gabriel's Oboe. and since then I've been surching for the scor end I heard a lot of different versions but this one is still by far the best.
Every single person in my band calls them Baritones, if you ask them what a Euphonium is they'll have no clue. But they can be called Baritones, some sheet music even calls them that
There is no such thing as a "Baritone", it's a made up term to describe a variety of different horns in that same register. The Euphonium, and the british-style "baritone" (Bb saxhorn in all honesty) are the same pitch, can play the same notes, and are both very similar except for one minor detail.... the Euphonium is more conical than most other instruments in this pitch. So, the real difference is just the tone, not the capabilities.
Wow, I play this instrument too :] It does make an amazing sound when you learn to play it correctly, like David I don't plan on going on with it professionally, but I'd love to be at least half as good as this guy some day; you can really tell he puts his soul into any music he plays n_n
Oh yeah!! This song is amazing. I'm actually going to play this for my Church and for Solo Ensemble this year. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
i play the bass clarine, and double bass. when i hear a recording of another instrument i love played this well, it makes me think i chose the wrong instrument. beautiful.
i just sat infront of the computer and watched and matched him!! lol i can play it now but i still have a little trouble with the last note sometimes!! its pretty fun to play.
I've just left the horn for play the instrument I always want to, the euphonium!!! I'm playing for 2 weeks ago and I really like this instrument. It's the nicest sound for a band instrument
His notes are higher than my hopes and dreams.
Starf the funny thing is their not that high
yung trae | I mean you’re kinda right, kinda wrong. C5 is high for euph, but not the highest you can go.
What is the highest note he plays?
@@massmanute its a A3 I think
More like thumbs up if you've ever heard of a Euphonium lol. The Euph truly is the most underrated instrument
I used to play Euph in the Marine Band from 1995-1999, and even practicing 8/hrs a day, never could I ever make a tone and vibrato as Prof. Child’s.
I’m a trombone player and I couldn’t agree more.
@@scotrule6128 indeed you is tone is amazing
Thanks for the love!! I'm a euphonist and there's only two of us in concert- and I'm the only one that plays. Definitely not enough power for such a small yet important section in our band :']
I started to play euph when I was 8...now I'm 27 that was hilarious "thumb up if you've ever heard" hahahaha
An object lesson on how to play a slow melody! Beautiful sound, phrasing, vibrato and overall musicianship. David is an outstanding player!
If I remember rightly, his uncle conducts the band that David plays in.

I listen to this with the memory of my grandfather - Jim - a beautiful euphonium player.

velcroman11 it does! It makes me think of countrysides, swimming in the lake and lemonade in the English summer.
the oboe, for me, gives the impression of a duck chasing me around. - my band director
Easy decision: Tuba
I'm hoping to play this live at my wedding as my bride walks down the aisle. I love it, but I probably wont be able to hold back the tears...
I don't think any euphonium player who listens and/or plays it would be able to. I know I couldn't.
oh my godddddd every time on his first entrance, I die. this is so gorgeous what the hell
Dumb
Never thought I'd get goosebumps from a youtube performance..
Excellent. I love this song on lower registered instruments. Despite how others may feel, this was phenomenal. Excellent tone and form throughout.
I've grown up listening to the Childs Legacy if you will..and while I'm a Roger Behrend fan, you simply cannot deny the elegance and passion that all of the Childs performers bring to the euphonium.
Beautiful music, its interpretation David Childs was simply magnificent.
What a beautiful sound. I'm Your Fan
I love playing the euphonium because it has such a melo sound compared to other low brass instruments
Luis Zayas
Compared to all other instruments
As do I.
I love this so much. I played this as a Solo in school band and I remember practicing to this. Can't believe I found it again 🥰🥰🥰
And it's not a trumpet, it's a bloody euphonium !
Euphonium is probably the most underestimated instrument, ever. From where I used to live, nobody even knew what it was, until I moved, and I'm the only one in our band, but at least it's recognized here. In LO, they don't know what they're missing.
But I always have to explain the difference between the euphonium and baritone... *sigh*
A emoção bate à porta do coração quando vejo um garoto desses. Fantástico, magnífico.
how is it possible for something to be so beautiful. The sound of the euphonium is truly a wonder.
I'm so familiar with this song that It's strange at first to hear a euphonium instead of an oboe. But in a way it's like hearing a bass singer sing a soprano part in another octave - different, but so beautiful.
I love the way he hugs his euphonium at the start.
RIP Morricone. The sound of the west may have left this world, but he will always live on in our hearts. ❤️
wunderschönes Stück und tolle Interpretation von David Childs

I WAS THERE in the park at the Welsh Proms... Loverly jubbly, beautiful playing and his duet with his Dad 'Flower Duet' is stunning too!!!! :0)x
playin euphonium for five years i dont think ill ever reach that level of perfection. his tone is haunting. i melted
...the epitome of a euphonium player. I've stuck with the euphonium since the fifth grade just to acheive this very tone quality and level of musical ability.
I love the way you love the way he hugs his euphonium at the start.
I don't know how 15 People can dislike this guy? He's remarkable!!
wow
the music comes alive....you can hear the warmth of the sound...it's as if the music is beaming with a smile
You can learn how to play the notes, but playing like this is a whole new level. You can't even hear him blow a new note, it's flowing from one into another as if it was an entire different instrument

+Margaret Colton actually marching drum corps is the most fun you'll ever have
Scarlett Taylor Akiba you'll have fun in marching band
Omg I wrote this comment two years ago....
Update: I love marching band lol
*sniff*
Ever since I heard an upperclassman in my school band practice Gabriel's Oboe on euphonium, it's been my favorite brass instrument.. and will probably continue to be my favorite brass instrument for a long time :)
My boyfriend was playing this in our band room today...It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard.
Beautiful, beautiful ... Love it!! 💞
Espetacular 🎵🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE his vibrato!! I really want to go to his concerts.
EUPHS ROCK!!!!
i watch david childs 's videos whenever i need inspiration. this guy is amazing. i want a tone that that so badly!
I play this on the oboe..there is something magical about this on the Euphonium..Calming, mellow and enchanting..If I played a bass instrument is would be the Euphonium..really well played!!!
It doesn't get any better than this!!
That is beautiful
Good for you, keep it up.

Childs is one hell of a Euphonium player how anyone could dislike anything he plays is beyond me, he plays beautifully.
Simply beautiful.
He is very good on the greatest instrument there is. This is the best version of Gabriels Oboe i can find on CZcams.
i played the euphonium for 3 years and loved it
His sound just makes me melt.
the euphonium is the best instrument ever!!!!! :D i have played it for like a year... its soo much fun.... :D
Beautiful
omg...
his tone is so warm n rich here~
i wished i could watched this live or on a dvd with better audio quality~
Somehow the sound of the euphonium takes you temporarily back in time. I never thought much of the euphonium but I think it has one of my favourite sounds out of the brass family.
Just one word for him: AMAZING!
It was an understatement.
I'm a euphonium player too.
Mr. Childs is one of my main role models.
:)
This is simply beautiful
WHAT?! THERE ARE EUPHONIUM SOLOISTS??!!!
wow...
It too is my craft.
Today my concert band performed the Ballet Pasisian, with no trombones and I was forced to play there parts, and we recieved second place! woot! go bands!

i love you David Childs!
you are my freaking baritone playiong hero.
=)
I AM NEVER GIVING UP ON MY EUPHONIUM! THANK YOU!!!
Fantastique!
when was the last time I heard such a beautiful piece of music? I just can't remember...
This piece always makes me tear up. First time hearing an arrangement for euphonium. Truly beautiful. =)
Such a beautiful piece
Didn't even know what a euphonium was before this video. Thank God i clicked here.
Maravilhosa interpretação e sonoridade!!!Brilhante!!!! Paulo-Campinas_SP-Brazil
I saw him in my town. He was very nice.
the most emezing sound of euph ever heart bravisimo
watching david childs play helped me become a better euphonium player then my music teacher did.inspirational guy
i wanna cry after hearing this:,) It's sooo good.
This is a great piece, along with a great euphonium player. Very nice
Anyone else get triggered when someone refers to a Euphonium as a Baritone?
It pisses me off so much and idk why
nah its easily confused especially for someone not in band
Every single person in my band calls them Baritones, if you ask them what a Euphonium is they'll have no clue. But they can be called Baritones, some sheet music even calls them that
There is no such thing as a "Baritone", it's a made up term to describe a variety of different horns in that same register.

@@Metal-Possum I play the baritone and not the euphonium
That was beautiful!!!!
Wow, I play this instrument too :] It does make an amazing sound when you learn to play it correctly, like David
I don't plan on going on with it professionally, but I'd love to be at least half as good as this guy some day; you can really tell he puts his soul into any music he plays n_n
Oh yeah!! This song is amazing.
I'm actually going to play this for my Church and for Solo Ensemble this year.
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Wow. Perfect, fantastic.
Absolutely beautiful! Very well played.
@philcicero Amazing version!!!!!!!!! Love it.
That was beautiful.
Interpretazione magistrale. COMPLIMENTI.
Very great rendition. The Guy Lombardo Band was one of the few big bands who used a euphonium. The sound of that instrument is absolutely superb.
No way! That's amazing. I play Horn, Trumpet, Piano, and a little euph. It's amazing what David Childs can do.
Dude... I honestly thought that this wouldn't work, but it did! ^.^ Simply amazing!
Master piece!
Beautiful!
Listening to him makes me miss my euphonium.
the euphonium is a beautiful instrument.........im gonna play it next year:)
outstanding
i play the bass clarine, and double bass. when i hear a recording of another instrument i love played this well, it makes me think i chose the wrong instrument. beautiful.

so good
This is insanely beautifull!
I've just left the horn for play the instrument I always want to, the euphonium!!! I'm playing for 2 weeks ago and I really like this instrument. It's the nicest sound for a band instrument
this guy is amazing and his tone is great
...and that vibrato!
