Thank you for these videos! I am a horn player who very recently started playing in a brass band for the first time in my life. Knowing absolutely nothing about this instrument, I really appreciate the time you've taken to upload so much solo repertoire. It's very helpful!
Hi Mags, I’m so glad you’ve put in all these tenor horn performances, I’m just about to play this for 8th grade in Australia, and your playing is really helping me to nail it
Hi Tom!!!! Love this one. Your tone is just right and I enjoy the great feeling in the music. I believe my ancestors came from the area that this music comes from. My Grandmother was a Kern....Scotch/Irish...
Hi Steve .... good to hear from you thanks for the compliments!! You never know ... we might be distant relatives ;-D! The church is a local one, a few miles from where I live, near Portaferry. Best wishes and keep tooting ... Tom:-D!!
Hi Tom! Love the intonation and smoothness of your playing , it really helps me to improve mine :) Also, Which tenor horn do you currently have? I assume it's a sovereign but what make and model is it? Thanks
Hi Ethan, glad to be of service :-D!! ... I still have the same instrument and it's a 1987 Besson Sovereign BE950 ... I had a Dennis Wick 3 mouthpiece on this recording and now use an Alliance TH2A ... All the best from Tom :-D!!
Mags496 Any chance I could be cheeky and ask for a copy. I'm prepping a pupil for grade 8 and listening to this I see the piano part is a bit busier than I was expecting. I have a number of backing tracks put into sibelious so if any use is could return the favour. Many Thanks
Just starting to learn this piece.......really enjoyed Mr Tom
Thanks for listening AG and glad you enjoyed it ... best wishes from Tom

Thank you Whitty ... good luck with the grade 8 :-D!!

Thanks for this. Is the backing track available?
Hi there and thanks for listening, sorry I don't know if it is available ... this one's just a Sibelius software version.
