I've been actively involved in bands for well over ten years. I tend to specialise in military- bands but I have done alot of work with brass bands. As you can see from my e-mail card I am interested in creating an awareness of low brass instruments. I will start the ball rolling by asking a question about transposition. If a concert player wanted to play a brass band part what kind of transposition would he/she need to perform ? Looking forward to hearing replies.

I'm an Eb tuba player in the New England Brass Band and a BBb tuba player in the Quincy, MA USA Salvation Army Band(previously with Cambridge Citadel Band 1971-85) and I don't read treble clef. I was lucky to have been taught the Eb bass in Junior high School and the BBb bass in High School. The way I transpose is probably a bit strange. The Eb fingerings are the key to my way of playing. When playing either part I start by adding three flats to the key signature. Naturals become flats, sharps become naturals, and usually flats become double flats!! Now when I play BBb I finger the notes as if I am playing the Eb part but I just have to hear the pitch a fourth(?) lower. What ever it takes to enjoy Brass Band sounds!! Derek Ashmore has arranged a Glen Miller piece call "Glen Miller Special" the New England Brass Band is currently playing this piece. It contains "In the Mood" Bill Conant As a relative newcomer to the BB repertoire, I was wondering if there was a (small, to be sure) group of pieces which might be performed antiphonally. If not, would there be even a mild interest in the creation of some works in this medium?

It's very easy for E-flat bass players to play bass clef parts (which is the opposite way to your question - but the point is equally valid), all that's needed is to change the clef, and add three sharps or take away three flats. You need a little experience to handle accidentals, but really it's very simple. -- Nigel Horne, Technical Director SoftCare Media Systems Ltd.

I cannot recall the arranger off the top of my head, but the piece is in a march size format. It is not a bad piece and has quite a nice sound to it. I will try to remember to find out some more details on it. Since this is my first post to the list I had better introduce myself. I play 2nd chair solo cornet in Townsville Brass. Townsville Brass is the premier brass band of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. We are currently competing as a B grade band. The band has previously had good successes as an A grade band, being Queensland A grade champions. Unfortunately we could not maintain our A grade standard and had to drop back to B grade in 1990. We are now working to build our standard and move back into A grade. Jeff Bird -- Jeff Bird Network Supervisor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering James Cook University of North Queensland AARNET/Internet: Jeffrey.Bird@jcu.edu.au In 1945 a poet\song writer from Barnsley wrote a song in the wake of VE day. At the request of his grand-daughter I have transcribed the accompniament to brass band. If you're interested in a copy let me know. There will of course be no charge, however a tape recording of any rendition to pass on to her would be appreciated. If you're putting on a concert this year with a choir this would be especially useful as I can include the words (which now seem a little tired and jingoistic - but they are a representation of the mood of the time). -- Nigel Horne, Technical Director SoftCare Media Systems Ltd.

Hi, I'm George Colwell And I play BBb tuba (on a CC) with the Imperial Brass Band in NJ. I have transposed a few BBb trble clef parts to Bass Clef using Encore for Windows. If anyone else out there has some transposed parts on Encore and you want to trade feel free to e-mail me anytime. I also have available many parts that are hand transposed. To the question from Dave Murphy. If you are a trumpet or cornet player you can play any valved instrument easily in a brass band. It may take some time to get used to the moutpiece size. Traditionaly everything is in treble clef, a written C one ledger line below the staff is open on all the valved instruments. The pitch from each instrument is different. Cornet, baritone, euphonium, and BBb tuba all sound a concert Bb when playing that C. Eb Horn and Eb Tuba sound a concert Eb when playing that C. Now, the trombones have it a little more difficult because I believe thier parts a written troble clef also (please correct me if I am wrong). I think the Bass Bone may be written in bass or treble clef. This may seem very odd to you but I'm sure it makes scense(sp) to all our friends in Europe and in the Salvation Army. Unfortunately for me I only own a CC Tuba abnd I play BBb Tuba parts. So, I transpose all the parts to bass clef (I am just too lazy to learn a whole new set of fingerings). This could be a whole new discussion and I've already taken up too much space here. Enjoy, George Please sign me up! I had wanted to start one myself but ran into roadblocks, so I'm glad you've done it. mjenkins@nova.wright.edu Cheers, ****************************************************************** Martin D.

So here I go. I am 15 years old and live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have played the trumpet for a little over 5 years. I play in the top school (yippie!) band. My top note at the pressent is a double-A above staff. My horn is a Pro Yamaha (silver). Some of my favorite places on Internet include Midi archives, Disney graphics, and other similar stuff. I have a midi collection of over 200 files and would be more than happy to mail some out. That's about all I have to say about MYSELF! Scott Trott Atlanta, Georgia PS Anyone ever heard of Matt Blisten? ( Trumpeter for Prince, Aretha Franklin, many plat. records) Hello. I'm delighted that someone has finally launched a list for brass band folks. I am a percussionist with the Brass Band of Columbus (Ohio, USA), and also an assistant conductor of the All-Star Brass Bands. These latter are three youth bands made up of Jr. High and High School students (13-18 yr old) from all over central Ohio. In addition, I also have been doing some arranging, primarily orchestral transcriptions. I have had successful performances of Light Cavalry Overture and Danse Macabre, and I have several other pieces scored and waiting to be copied to parts. (Plus a LONG list of "future projects"!) I look forward to chatting about any and all of these topics with all of you. Cheers, ****************************************************************** Martin D.

I direct a large (25 piece) brass ensemble and am interested in adding brass band music to our repertoire. Any suggestions would be appreciated. In response to this letter - I know of a brass quintet arrangement of In The Mood but not a BB version.

I myself am not a player in a BB but in a fanfare orchestra in Holland. But of course I like BB music just as much as fanfare or Harmonie (jet another kind). The difference being the instrumentation I do have a preference. MOSTLY I like the fanfare instrumentation because besides the brass instruments it has an important place for the saxes (you can see the connection in my signature at the end of this message :-) ) SECONDLY I like Brassbands because of it's warm, yet powerfull sound. Bugles and euphoniums, such nerve-touching instruments! LAST comes Harmonie instrumentation. Mostly because I really do NOT like the clarinets. They sound alright, but just for a few minutes. Then they bore me greatly because (in my opinion) they just sound to suggary, whingy really. But even in this list I'm not complete: there are the **street-orchestras** (people having visited the skating matches in Herenveen or some soccermatches of the national Dutch team will know what I mean). They are great fun to listen to and the minute I can find the time (and are a good enough musician) to play in one or to start one, I will. Also I like to play in **event-related orchestras** e.g. playing to accompany a choir, at a festive community-event, at a wedding in church or (a bit sadder but nevertheless very rewarding) playing at a wake or funeral. I used to be a percussionist (for about 25 years) but five years ago I also took on the BARITONESAX. (Wow what an instrument that is!) Actually I had thought about starting a mailinglist for fanfare players, am as well as pro, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Isn't it more convenient to jump on this list? Of course this will depend on the openmindedness of you all as BB'ers! It is common practice in Holland to have a special interest group for just about any subject there is :-) / :-( So this is my question to you all: Is this to be a mailing list for ALL wind musicians or just for brassbandplayers? Hoping for a well performed, harmonious discussion: Tjip Zigterman P.S. I will attach a concertreview I wrote on the net of the maiden-concert of the Dutch Fanfare Orchestra.

Ever hear a band (any band) perform at all good without percussion of any kind? ====================================== tjip@xs4all.nl || Enter the ultimate saxozone Tjip Zigterman || Start playing the Baritone It seems that everyone is starting off this list by getting aquainted. I've always liked that about brass players. I played trombone professionally for over 20 years with the Royal canadian Mounted Police Band, but until last year, I had never played in a brass band. Most of my experience has been in commercial music with some brass quintet playing. A local businessman in Ottawa, who had an interest in brass bands, has become the corporate sponsor for the newly-founded Woods Manufacturing Brass Band. Many of the players had little or no experience with brass band repertoire. We meet every Thursday night and almost always have a full turnout. Other players like myself have found the music to be quite a humbling experience and have been forced to dust off the Arban's so we can keep up. You certainly can't go week to week without spending some time on the horn. I'm having a great time! I'd like to hear from anyone else that has had a similar experience. -- Jim Gayfer | Eschew obfuscation! ap805@freenet.carleton.ca | Does anyone know of where I could get a catolog with intermediate level music for highschool aged players (14-18). This would be a group of all different levels. Thanks, George Question: What do you do with a Percussionist who can't play?

As this is my first post I thought I should introduce myself. I am a 25 year old student (business not music :( ) who plays Eb tuba in the Salvation Army Woodroffe Temple Band in Ottawa, Canada where I'm the Tuba Soloist and Section Leader. I have a keen interest in the Brass Band style of music and hope to get lots of great information from this group. Thank you for your time. Dave Clark dclark@ebtuba.synapse.net Hi! I've recently been listening to the Sellers Engineering Band on their World of Brass CD (Chandos- CHAN 4511). While listening I realized there *must* be a lot of other recordings available if only I knew about them. I of course have several Black Dyke Mills Recordings: CHAN 4505 Black Dyke Mills Band Plays Rossini CHAN 8370 Black Dyke Mills Band - Blitz CHAN 4510 Black Dyke Mills Band - Champions of Brass CHAN 4509 Black Dyke Mills Band -The Complete Champions A few days ago just before the BB mailing list began I was listening to the Grimethorpe Colliery Band CD (Conifer Classics/BMG 74321-16848-2) "Arnold on Brass". A really nice CD. I also have Brassband 13 etoiles- Double Champion (Artlab 90661) (Switzerland) The Band of H.M. Royal Marines- Music of Kenneth Alford CHAN 6584 The Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards- Marches- I/British (Denon CO-73806) The Dutch Royal Military Band - Lord of the Rings and Bilik's Symphony for Band (Ottavo OTR C18924). While I was listening to the Grimethorpe Colliery Band it occurred to me that there must be many CD's of which I was not aware. While El Paso is great if you like "mariachi" music, it is not exactly the centre of the brass band world. I would be interested in having people mention (and even review) any brass band recordings which are available. That way I could at least order some if I knew the titles, contents, and catalogue numbers. What is available from bands in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, U.K., Netherlands, etc? Would anyone be interested in making up an on-line catalogue of CD's which might be distributed from time to time? Thanks, Ralph Jones El Paso, Texas USA Hi! I've wondered for quite a long time about the brass bands which are "sponsored" by companies, such as: Black Dyke Mills Band Sellers Engineering Band Grimethorpe Colliery Band And other similar bands. How are such bands organised? What is their relationship to their sponsoring businesses? Responsibilities? How are members chosen? Are employees ever chosen? Or Are they *all* employees? Are they engaged to perform only or do they have other duties? Is there a "Federation" of such bands? Are there municipal bands? Or school-related bands? I would like to hear of regional and national variations. If you play in a band would you mind describing your band's set-up and organisation. Thank you. Ralph Jones El Paso, Texas USA Did anyone GET my review along with the posting? (RV950701.NFO) I didn't get it from the BB-list. ====================================== tjip@xs4all.nl || Enter the ultimate saxozone Tjip Zigterman || Start playing the Baritone In your message dated Sunday 9, July 1995 you wrote : > While I was listening to the Grimethorpe Colliery Band it occurred to me > that there must be many CD's of which I was not aware. Your best bet to find out about recordings is to subscribe to either the British Bandsman: Harold Charles House 64a London End Beaconsfield Bucks HP9 2JD or Brass Band World: Canon Publications Chapel-en-le-Frith Stockport SK12 6HB -- Nigel Horne, Technical Director SoftCare Media Systems Ltd.

Let me suggest Egon Publishers, Royston Rd, Baldock, Herts, England SG7 6NW. (01462)894498, fax 894660. They will supply any brass band CD that exists, and once you start doing business with them, the catalogues keep coming. Prices are good and they'll ship anywhere for one pound sterling per CD. If statesiders would rather do business locally, Bert Wiley, who runs Bernel Music in Cullowhee, NC, also does a good job with good prices. Hi all, Here also of me an introduction of who I am. My name is Steef Klepke and I am living in the Netherlands about 10 miles from Rotterdam. I am currently the principal cornet of the Salvation Army Amsterdam Staff Band and the Vlaardingen Band (the local SA band). I am realy grazy about brass bands so I hope this list will add a lot to our interest! Steef Hello all brass- and reedmusicians, I already had the idea for a CD catalog for (intentionally) Dutch amateur orchestras. Mostly because I look everywhere for CD's and no regular store carries them. So in view of the question by Ralph Jones, I would like to actually start it up now and make it a WorldWide catalog. So please mail all the recordings you have or know of to: tjip@xs4all.nl The database created for this holds (at the moment): -Title of the recording -Performing orchestra -Conductor (+repetitor(s)) -Place and country of origin -Number of musicians at the time of the recording -Classificationlevel at the time of the recording (I therefore also need information on the classification system/rules of every country) -Adress where the orchestra can be reached (Full adress, phone/fax) -CD or tape -Publishing date -The pieces performed -Title -Composer -Arranger -Soloist(s) + instrument(s) -Publishing date -The story behind the piece (if any) -A picture of the orchestra (if available in one of the major formats) -The adress where it can be ordered (This can be the publisher or the secretariat of the orchestra) -Name, full adress, phone and fax -Price of the recording -Shipping included Y/N? I am also in the starting proces of making a homepage for the Dutch Fanfare Orchestra and two of the major amateur fanfare orchestras: The Frysk Fanfare Orchestra and The Noord-Holland Fanfare Orcestra. In this homepage I will (eventually) add a registration form for the above mentioned database.

Both of them have catalogues (or at least did recently) - send for them, they'd be the best place to start. An online catalogue is an interesting idea. Do you mean just a list? What would be good is a place to announce new releases. I see Dyke has a few new ones out, as do a few other bands. Again, Egon is the best source for those. My personal level of "expertise" if you can call it that, is the Salvation Army (there is always a new release coming out!). I think it's Ottawa Citadel Band that has a new CD. I haven't heard the disc, so I can't tell you much about it. If you're at all interested in Salvation Army, I highly recommend "International Brass Spectacular". It is a two-CD set recorded live last spring that features the International Staff Band, the Canadian Staff Band, the Chicago Staff Band and the New York Staff Band. Every one of these bands is top class. (As are all the staff bands - Hi Steef! :) ) If anyone has any questions about Salvation Army music or banding, I'd love to help. Erik Pittock epittock@julian.uwo.ca I am looking for the adress and fax etc. of Rosehill Music in London. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, Steef For Ralph Jones and others interested: Bernel Music, PO Box 2438, Cullowhee, NC, 28723, has an extensive catalog of brass band CDs, probably just about everything that's available in the US (including Chandos and other imports). They also sell brass band scores and parts. The phone is (704) 293-9312. Does anyone know of other good sources, especially in or willing to ship to the US? I can think of Egon, whose address I can dig up at home if no one has it handy. Cheers, ****************************************************************** Martin D.

I play BBb bass in community band and in a couple quintets, and Eb bass in "Solid Brass of Little Rock", a new brass band in Little Rock, as you would have guessed. I am cleverly disgused as a computer programmer during daylight hours, but long for the day when somebody wants to pay me the big bucks to play!! I am currently working on arranging "When Yuba Plays The Rhumba on the Tuba" for brass band as a tuba section feature and am wondering as to who I need to get permission from to do so (ala copyright matters and such) ? I have an old tape of an older record--I am guessing 30 or more years--that I have been working from (along with some music from a net friend). Good to be on board!!

I was going to come to the rescue and give you Rosehill's number, but I can't find it right now. I do have the number and address for The British Bandsman, and I have a feeling that they are closely associated, if not at the same location, as Rosehill Music. The BB is at: 0(1)494 674411 64 London End, Beaconsfield, Bucks UK HP9 2JP I'm sure they can help you find Rosehill. Erik. epittock@julian.uwo.ca Hi I have just subscribed and Nigel suggested I post an intro. My name is Steve Reynolds and I live Leicestershire in the centre of England. I am currently playing Eb Tuba with my village band, Barlestone Victoria, in the second section. I thought I should mention a charity concert we are doing on 12th August this year which is taking place thanks to mailing lists like this one. Earlier in the year, a couple of members from the Atlantic Brass Band sent messages out on the brass mailing list to say that they were touring in England and would like to arrange playing dates. I responded, and this led to us arranging a concert for charity involving both bands. The concert will involve a section by each of the bands followed by a massed concert and should be great fun. We have done several concerts like this with Desford before and raised a lot of money for various charities. This year the money is for Motor Neurone Disease. If anyone would like to know more about our concert or how to hear the Atlantic Brass band in other concerts while they are here please email me and I will try to help.

There aren't a lot of brass bands in Canada, from what I hear (or rather, from what I _don't_ hear!), outside of Salvation Army bands. What kind of music do you play, what do you intend to do (i.e. perform, contest), who is your conductor, do you have any S.A. players in the band, etc.? It's nice to hear about a new band starting up, what with all the bands shutting down. Feel free to either post directly to me or to the entire group. Looking forward to hearing more!

Sorry 2) Please ensure that all postings you make include a subject line. -Nigel I have recently completed an arrangement of Ian Murray-Watson's "Variations on Dux Michael" (parts being written now), and I'm interested in finding comments\errors in the arrangement. If you can organise a play through to proof read I'd be very greatful. Although fairly long (around 10-15 mins.) it should be playable by any band in the 3rd section or above, though I'm willing to be told otherwise! Although there are a few dischords the music is very approachable, and could be used either in the contest or concert arenas. If you're with a 1st or Championship section band I have an arragement of Alex Murray's "Song of Gratitude" which also needs checking. It's more atonal and has a varying time signature which makes it more difficult than Variations, but again let me know if you can help. -- Nigel Horne, Technical Director SoftCare Media Systems Ltd.

Hi Greg, I happen to have the sheet music to that song and it is copyright (1931) by Warner Bros. Inc.. I found it in a "fake" book published by Ekay Music and compiled by Editors of Sheet Music Magazine in "The Great Latin-American Songbook". Ekay is at: 223 Katonah Ave Katonah, NY 10536 I don't know which of those groups you would ask permission from! Good Luck. I'd love to hear your arrangement sometime. -Dave Topham (Dtopham@aol.com) Subject: Re: No Subject Hi all, I'm pretty new to brass band music. I picked up the Eb Alto Horn when some friends of mine wanted to play brass quintet music and didn't know a french horn player. I like it a lot. Probably the best live performance I've heard on Eb Alto is from a player (don't know his name) in the Jack Daniels Silver Cornet Band. I loved that concert! On record, I've only heard the Black Dyke Mills Band with a beautiful solo by Alto Horn on Gareth Wood's concerto. Where could I buy music like that? I'd especially like to find an on-line source so I can browse and order from my computer. Thanks, Dave Subject: Re: your mail Hi Jim .... Is this band in Ottawa? Where do you meet? I havn't played brass band music in a long time and I would welcome the opportunity ..... You can reply to the mailing list or to me at the e-mail addresses.... Thanks ...... To other mail in list members ..... I'm enjoying the excnanges .... I played SA many years ago .. Montreal Citadel .... since then a variety of music including (as my moniker says) jazz, dance music, classical, and concert band in Halifax Nova Scotia. I taught trumpet (sorry :-) in the continuing education program in Halifax for a couple of years ... did some writing and arranging .. and, like that.

I have an old tape of an older The tubaeuph list has a number of Yuba fans on it. According to what I've seen posted there Yuba was a big hit in the thirties in a musical review called The Third Little Show, composed by Herman Hupfeld. If you email me directly I can give you some more info.

He is a composer for not to long now but write very interesting music. I also heard, and this is probably good to know for players in and out the SA, that the New York Staff Band has just finished a CD features the music of the Broughton`s, well known by the most of us I think. Has anyone heard something about this release? And last but not least for this moment; the Amsterdam Staff Band just finished I very nice CD including very nice brass music!
