[Hornlist] Christmas music

Hi. I have a non-playing, non- musical friend who is interested in the French Horn for listening only. I would like to send her some Christmas music ( CD's) featuring the horn(s). I am not thinking of sending something by the Canadian Brass or other groups because she would not be able to i

[Hornlist] Speed of sound strikes back

David G wrote The air that emanates from your embouchure loses a lot of heat on expansion, so your mouthpiece heats up, leaving much cooler air to travel through the horn. To transfer heat through the horn, it is most efficient to remove the mouthpiece and blow directly into the leadpipe. You ca

Re: [Hornlist] "Singing"

As others have pointed out, singing doesn't have to be legato. Singers sing "on the air" by instinct. When you sing, you sing the phrase, not the notes. Sing "Happy Birthday." You don't sing "Hap", "py", "Birth", "Day", "to", "you." Speaking from experience, I'm successful singing the phrase, but w

[Hornlist] Re: Speed of Sound [correction]

Travelling slower doesn't mean it'll be quieter. Actually density isn't the only factor (sound travels faster in water than air, for example). Insulation works on a different basis - polysterene sheets, for example, work because sound scatters as it passes from one material to another. Put lots of

Guest artist Georges Barboteu used a mineral water bottle for his mute at the IHS workshop held at Orford, Canada back in 1975. He used it in "En Foret." Worked very well. Cheers, Paul Mansur On Monday, November 17, 2003, at 07:26 PM, Rebecca Watters Davidson wrote: This week in a rehearsa

Re: [Hornlist] "Singing"

Try actually singing your music. If you have an accompanist handy, it works best to sing with the piano. You can learn alot about a musical line (legato or separated) by making the sounds with your body alone. As you sing, pay attention to your breath/air. When do you need to intensify the air to k

Friends, it has already been said, but I'll state it again since there seems to be a lot of confusion around: the Doppler effect has NOTHING to do with the matter we are discussing (variation of horn pitch with the temperature). Also the effect of the lenghtening of the metal is obviously negli
