Cimbasso Quartet No.2 :-)

Post by Kontrabasstuba »

Headphones recommended

The Bolzano Mountaineers' March (Bozner Bergsteiger-Marsch)by Sepp Tanzer for Cimbasso Quartet. Played and recorded on 04.06.2021 at home.
March with lyrics based on the folk tune "Wohl ist die Welt so groß und weit".
Sound and video: Jorijn van Hese
Music: Sepp Tanzer, Arr.: Deutsches Tubaforum

I dedicate this march to my seriously ill friend and Tuba colleague Josef Hardenacke. Get back on your feet quickly! :-)

‘ great job!
enjoyed it, as well as your other videos.
Tuba quartets and ensembles have always been “rough” on my ears - in regards to sorting out the harmonies, tempering thirds and sixths, and other aural issues.
In the low-brass range, the more sparkly/clean trombone type of sonority always makes it easier to sort out the harmonies – at least to my ears.
one last “about me” remark:
When using the cimbasso with a trombone section in an orchestra (which I do fairly often), what I described just above demands that my Intonation be spot on, or it shows up like lipstick on a white shirt.
Your intonation was superb, in your video.

@bloke i agree with you. A low Brass Ensemble is always special. Cimbasso is more clear.
It's a very simple Chinese Cimbasso. But it works very well for me. I like the sound and the tune is super easy to handle
