I had a crush on a girl throughout high school. She was beautiful no doubt, but I realize now that the only reason I was infatuated with her was because she played the french horn.
My senior yr of HS our band director took several band members to a music reading clinic at a nearby university, where band directors listen to new band music and hopefully buy it. They placed me at 2nd horn in the band, next to a gorgeous girl who played 1st. (I still recall her name.) I had a crush on her for a couple of yrs until I met other horn players in college.
The principal horn has the luxury of having an assistant who plays the tutti parts, giving the soloist a rest. That last horn solo that floats up to high B is damn hard to do if you have no assistant to play the monotonous parts throughout the entire symphony. Many community orchestras do not have the luxury of providing an assistant to the principal. It is damn hard on the principal playing these symphonies without one.
I played this several times with an excellent community orchestra back in the ‘70s. As you said, no assistant. I really didn’t have a problem but I wasn’t 65 at the time as was John Cerminaro when this was recorded. Even at 65 he, IMO, was better than most of the younger pros today!
When I was in high school, I played a couple instruments, including string bass. The orchestra normally practiced without the woodwinds and brass until a concert was approaching. We played this symphony for several weeks, and it was very boring until the day the other players arrived and realized this piece had a melody. It was like watering a garden all summer, and finally seeing a flower bloom!
Played this in high school. Played assistant first chair French horn. Have. Always loved this piece. This performance was magnificent. Brought back fond memories. Thanks
I used to love James Arness as Zeb mccahan in How the West Was Won. Imagine my fifth-grade surprise when I realized that theme beautiful intro theme was done by an orchestra!

I loved this 😂 all I listen to is rap, r&b and reggae and this was lit 🔥 🔥🔥 my daughter plays Harp so I’m getting in the the classic scene. It’s nice. 💫
Beautiful! All the music players did so amazing. I am inspired to learn the French horn from scratch. I have no clue about music but if there can be a way to start let me know.
start off by buying a mouth piece and practice buzzing on it. you can do sirens, practice your low and high buzzes, and it will also help you build endurance since playing for long periods of time can be very tiring.
@@litzyguzman2160 great advice. I did the exact same thing to teach myself sousaphone from scratch in about 3 months. I already knew how to read music and was able to pass my audition for college marching band and was complimented on my tone by the head director.
I regret not taking up the french horn. I was the only one that could blow air through the thing. My teacher begged me to join the band. But i was to mixed up from home life and"to cool"... Dumb punk kids . I remember how i love the sound
The Hans Hoyer Heritage 6801/6802/7801/7802 are great replacements for the old 8D. They were modeled after the vintage 8D. The 6801 has the mechanical 3B valves, I have and love my 6801 NS (nickel/detached bell). Best horn I have ever owned! Huge sound!! I've played this symphony many times on it, and the solo near there end just sings right out on it. ♥️
At 6:27 can someone tell me if that is F. Horn or trombone that is the main voice there... I'm new to French horn and i would like to know what im trying to listen out for.
Kind of harsh. Get relaxed and broad. Don't play so hard, everybody. Maybe less 'All-Stars' and more Symphony Orchestra musicians? Maybe it's all the sound engineer's fault!!!! Could be...

Alan Johnson I just got through play the principal Horn without an Assistant. You’re correct, it is taxing, but what a great part!
That's why in Jazz, the second player is normally the soloist.

This symphony has no monotonous parts for the horns.
So that's why this part was so dreadful on me in the Youth Symphony.

This gives me inspiration to practice.
Omg samee
That bassoonist knows what she's doing. Wow, that was beautiful.
interesting and gorgeous phrasing!
That's Nancy Goeres! Watch her play the Firebird solo if you can
Dvorak Symphony No 9, Movement 4......I've been looking for the name of this music for, IDK... years honestly...
Worth it
The horns give me pure chills. Im a trumpet man myself, but...do you feel that power?
Played this in high school. Played assistant first chair French horn. Have. Always loved this piece. This performance was magnificent. Brought back fond memories. Thanks
By far one of my favorite piece's, such a beautiful sound.
what a strange mouthpiece!
x2
It's a Marcinkiewicz: www.marcinkiewicz.com/mouthpieces/french-horn/concert-hall-two-piece/
Actually more than one horns use the interesting mouthpieces.
it's essentially a peashooter.
@@mdlee52 life saver
Throughout all 6 years of my practice playing french horn, I've never had another person whom played to base my learning off of.
Do you know what mouthpiece that dude was using?
I used to love James Arness as Zeb mccahan in How the West Was Won.

Truly magnificent performance!
Beautiful performance, especially the old guy with grey hair. Respect 🙏
This piece gave me inspiration to write a whole movie/story with this piece of music as its main theme!
I know this is a "sacriligious thing" but 1.25 is really a really better interpretation for me.
Flutes seemed to struggle with their first bit of running lines.. a challenging piece of music for sure!
10:03 is one of the most epic moments in the classical repertoire no doubt.
I've always wondered, is this part meant to be a reference to the opening of the 2nd movement?
I loved this 😂 all I listen to is rap, r&b and reggae and this was lit 🔥 🔥🔥 my daughter plays Harp so I’m getting in the the classic scene. It’s nice. 💫
Muy buena interpretación. Suena maravillosamente bién el solo del primer corno. Nunca lo toqué con corno agudo, muy bueno.
now that is teamwork. damm that was incredible. jaw dropping hard work and it sounded divine.
This is so beautiful
Love French horn I played it...beautiful sound
Finally ! Been looking for this since I saw the asura game

If you really want to hear a highjacked melody, listen to Sing Sweet Nightingale from Disney's Cinderella. Lifted right from this Symphony.
John Williams owes money to Dvorak.
Jaws, Indiana Jones, Hook, and Star Wars
That was INTENCE.
What an epic work for French horns.
❤️
Why not show the third horns in the beginning instead of the first? That’s the part that plays melody with the trumpets
Film person doesn't know the score
third and fourth!
John, Is that you playing First? Good to see you.... Ron Applegate
Yep, that is Mr. Cerminaro, old Interlochen cabin mate.
Sublime📯
If I recall, there's no tuba in the 4th movement.
Only in the second movement, exactly 14 notes in the whole symphony in believe, maybe 15
There isn't, as xKAY-SIX said below, although I feel like I'm hearing some at 9:27
What mouthpieces are they using?
I regret not taking up the french horn. I was the only one that could blow air through the thing. My teacher begged me to join the band. But i was to mixed up from home life and"to cool"... Dumb punk kids . I remember how i love the sound
I'm a beginner horn player but this is my goal!!
reminds me of forest of piano
I guess they saved money buying their neck ties in bulk.
Meyer wraps throughout, except for the woman in the middle. Is she playing a Conn 8D?
UCCJGUY Michelle Baker (former second horn of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra) is playing a Conn 8D here.
At least one had a Knopf wrap. Very similar to Geyer, but the tubing comes out of the first valve at an angle.
@@hornkraft9438 Good to know. Thanks.
Actually, no one is playing a true Geyer wrap. Not a one. It's quite the mix, but they still sound great together.

Vine por los cuernos franceses pero el resto de instrumentos estuvo increíble rebién
Walter’s theme is 🔥 🔥 🔥
You are musician?
@@filliiiii7 WWE theme, not a musician
Interesting mouthpiece
So, the title here specifies "French horns". However, 3rd and 4th horns have the melodic line at the beginning. Hmm!
😊😊yes
Pourquoi ils utilisent des embouchures comme ça aux cors ?
Im sorry am high butttttt i’m smiling so loudddddd😊😆😊😆
FUCKING INTENSE! 9:20
Why does this sound so much like the "Imperial March" from Star Wars?
At 6:27 can someone tell me if that is F. Horn or trombone that is the main voice there... I'm new to French horn and i would like to know what im trying to listen out for.
@Matthew Rabbas can french horns hit/sound like that or are they just too rich in sound?
Oh French horns can get brash too! Especially when we do "horns up"....
I believe trombone is the dominating voice there.
Bugger. Thought it was Jaws :) Naughty John williams
i mistakenly found this i knew what this was fron asuras wrath
9:00
0:30
This music will represent Earth planet when we will declare the wae to Mars in 2798
Baby shark
0😅thats Dale clevenger
Me when breakfast
Jaws , starwars much ?
I think this a tiny bit older than them😂
@@darkassassincth915 oh really ??? But you can hear the impetus for John Williams, in this day and age he would have been sued
Baby shark!
@@mickjenner6697 Many composers borrow from each other. It is ok as long as it is an original piece.
Seems John Williams got an awful lot out of this tune alone
Omg baby Shark haha
0:01 -0:08
Sounded like baby shark😂😂😂😭😭
Yup. It was sampled in the song "Baby Shark" because this medly was used in the movie "Jaw".
themicoism “Jaws”
Crazy how this line went from most commonly associated with New World Symphony, then to Jaws and now Baby Shark....
JAWS!
Kind of harsh. Get relaxed and broad. Don't play so hard, everybody.
Maybe less 'All-Stars' and more Symphony Orchestra musicians?
Maybe it's all the sound engineer's fault!!!! Could be...
