[Dishevelled Den]

or the William Tell Overture for Curry Lovers

Very good indeed. 8-)

[Debs.]

Well, I`m a bit disappointed and somewhat surprised that only our-dear Holy Count correctly observed that it was the music used in the very first television appearance of 'Fred' in the BBC North West documentary: "Fred Dibnah: Steeplejack" (1979).

The music first heard in the documentary as Fred swings in a boatswain`s chair high a`top a chimney.....The music always seemed to fit the Northern setting and somewhat pedestrian tempo of the programme; despite it`s Venetian title.

A young Wynton Marsalis shows us how the piece should be played. (On a cornet I do believe)

It's a well known test piece on the brass/silver band circuit so, perhaps, the link with Northern England.

 :-*Lovely!.......Flugelhorn or Cornet? (I find it tricky to be sure of the differences)

A little harsh Debs........we all did our best.....

The flugel is a much bigger instrument producing an even mellower, lower tone than the cornet -  (when compared to that of the trumpet).

Marsalis has played jazz on the flugel quite often.

[edit]Although the instrument in the Marsalis piece appears to me to be a cornet, I don't discount the possibility of it perhaps being a pocket trumpet. (Based on the ratio of taper from the final radius of the instrument to the bell).[/edit]

A flugelhorn played quite well by this young man;

E' by gum, the flugelhorn.

This from Brassed Off: Rodrigo's Concierto "d'Orange Juice".

Played by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, soloist Paul Hughes (aka Tara Fitzgerald  ).

It's sometimes difficult to watch actors trying to mime in this way.  The breathing and finger positions are never convincing.

Tara Fitzgerald on the other hand - Oh that heavenly voice, I could listen to it all night. 8-)

A disappointing transcription of the piece all the same with the majesty and depth of the work sacrificed for an overly bright tempo and lightness of tone.

Very, very impressive, but utterly pointless!  A triumph of technique over musicality.
