bruno the
piano the calculations of color are not confined to be idle on our ears through the many years ago a man has invented to imitate the sounds of nature and how to enjoy a color spectrum which is equally large re mixing and the scholars were found that have the comfort in one part of the art of musical compositions in the search for from out of old groups of animal caller groups and music evolution has produced or group the strings woodwinds and percussion and of these certainly the woodwinds are the most powerful and versatile out today we plan to play a composition by the first man ever to write for the modern woodwind quintet
in hearing these groups that i just spoke of the strains are of course quickly recognized by the similarity in the tone color of all the instruments in the group by contrast the woodwinds have a tremendous variety of tone color color that supplements and complement each other and really enhances the music the old my instrument gets its name from the french oh wow or i would it's a double reed instrument as they play the the bathroom so from the french soul or low found is say the sun or
its quality which makes it the perfect instrument for the baseline the week when the senate also a double reed instrument that for you know a little bit of a limp a clearer arturo it as well or at least diverse hours needed one more to land them or use them together and they're the perfect medium for this in the french horn a member of our own auto loan now that show you two of the
colors of the french horn it can play a lot longer than that but it has that saw the over the quality that is so necessary in the woodwind quintet it blends the flute and clarinet with the double reeds know the range of this instrument is another important factor if you go low of a buffoon and you now there are ways to the questions that people ask me about the french weren't very wisely paul french horn and second what is it doing in the woodwind quintet well during the renaissance both the english and the french horns which played for five you will like notes but what the french people in their characteristic elegance of
enlarging this to knowing and refining it so that some twelve or thirteen notes could be played the horn is now suitable for use in the opera orchestra and different people literally hunting horn from the woods into the drawing in recognition of this fact this transformation the english thereafter when referring to the work of foreign oil that the french horn the path his new orchestra were they and they're acting like nature but soon the value of the no middleman larger notes or perceived and that sustained harmonies are in the hall and have that melody and in the wonderful horn quartet on favorite mr fleisher this overture we hear those melodic element it would be a short step from there for players to become a profession in controlling its engine and that they were allowed in
when wing group for others without mostly in pairs but not that when he wrote that beautiful and famous a quintet or piano one for when to use just one one establishing a more commonly in one wing groups now on leave instruments here that he's you know a cop show liane has been broken up it's been smooth downs we don't hurt the listeners know what comes out where rule we have tremendous air in part this is a familiar animal horn and it has been used by men were millions i can get three notes out of this and i made a little to lure a search now the big brother of this instrument is the scandinavian
lure l u r list was made from a huge mammoth and you were made in paris so angry that it had to be hung up by tree scandinavian new novel working and made these lured out of metal the romans also a great profession that the metal work and they've made to military instruments out of metal but here you will see the little less the straight through whittaker van and the circular lucina liberian people like roman military influence over a wild meadow were declined and now had to resort to these animal horn all shapes and sizes an overused the most striking of these was the one made from the elephant's tusk we have an illustration of a wonderful about a
yard long the ornately carved and belonging to you going in a time of charlemagne and the story goes that he would be surrounded by enemies the puppets horn blow for help and he played so fiercely allow that he not only crack the instrument but there's some of the blood vessels in his neck and at that the same feeling kind of place them about these pathogens now getting back to the counting on the metal awning harm we have a three cold war here made out of that it has helped something like this and sound he wanted that sound in a higher key had more horn or a lower key a bigger horn and the invention of the crop or the chrome this was all about here is a hormone fueled by the university of pennsylvania about away with each of these crabs each have a different side of
getting different tones here are the main body of the horn and i'd like you to see the wonderful letter word in this image bell says go and read a read that noting the military ancestry of this instrument now we take it into the body and not be ready to go oh how clever fellow and discovered that with a little flight attendant here he could fill in the gaps that some of those notes and we have complete scale i'd like to play a borrowing from the symphonic literature the little packages the
beautiful opening of the shubert he major him in the mouth and beethoven whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa and only opera the video of that in the range of the horn to our little tiny group that will take it up into the high register news and charming he ended with the invention of the aisle i mean to that though only word lard permanently into the bottom of a horn and with that he became involved a complete dramatic scale could be play the machine has thought about this for a long time and before no perfect that they came up with some pretty amusing examples of
this that they're going out this problem and here we have a picture of an especially outlandish horn we like to call this the plumbers nightmare other modern instrument is a double board i mean they're the people who aren't alive more and each with its own set of cooks source lies eileen well these modern conveniences the horn remained at a distance from the play but the results are worth the effort and i'm happy that the on in quality of the french horn is so useful in a woodwind quintet some time ago we discuss the man i'm orchestra effect on music and musicians that was it was born and raised and nine at the age of fifteen he joined the mannheim orchestra and seventies seventy eight the very same year he joined the orchestra mozart there's a man on

Series Description
In this series, a famous group of professional musicians traces the development of woodwinds in music through discussion and performance. Everything concerned with woodwinds from model of the earliest instruments to techniques of playing modern compositions is covered. Mostly, the episodes consist of approximately three parts performance to one part discussion of history and technique. However, the series also includes interviews with prominent composers and musicians and employs photo montages of famous composers during the playing of their works. The series was produced at WHYY-TV in Philadelphia. The 13 half-hour episodes that comprise this series were originally recorded on kinescope. The Philadelphia Woodwind Quintet, organized in 1950, enjoys an international reputation. All the members occupy the first chair of their respective instruments in the Philadelphia Orchestra and all are members of the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music. They have appeared with great success in cities on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Alabama and also in Iceland. They have performed on radio and television and record for Columbia Records. Members of the Quintet are: Robert Cole, flute; John de Lancie, oboe; Anthony Gigliotti, clarinet; Sol Schoenbach, bassoon; and Mason Jones, horn.
