"The Warrior Comes Out to Play" played by Richard White

[JHardisk]

Just had this link sent to me. Rich is playing Nat McIntosh's "The Warrior Comes Out To Play"...

Fast forward through the talking...

As always, Rich tears it up, with style!

performance - $10

musical composition - $2

further promulgation of perception of tuba solos as dorkey novelty pieces - priceless

Maybe, but this gem was only two clicks away:

Can't call anyone names till you write a piece and get a performer and get a performance.

horseshit.

I'm confused (as usual)...who called someone a name?

Todd S. "fits the requirement as well" Malicoate

Based on his wording.....sounds like someone called McIntosh a slouch.....and then deleted it.....

Amazing. So, not only have you made a post chastising someone for something you just assumed they posted and deleted, now your ineptness with the quote function has made it look like Mojo wrote the reply to the alleged name which was never called.

And you wonder why people come down on you on here, James. My head hurts.

On a related note, the Dallas Brass folks were just here in Stillwater yesterday for the OSU Brass Day. I didn't get to attend, but from what I hear Nat is a very nice guy and he and the group are top-notch performers. I'm wondering if he entertained the troops with his solo sousaphone performance. I don't necessarily disagree that it's a "dorky novelty piece," but try getting an audience to listen and respond to a performance of a staple in the tuba solo literature in the same way they would respond to the "Warrior" piece. I don't see it happening.

What is found in my post as is was my contibution to this thread. No editing or deletion took place. Certainly wouldn't call a better player than myself a "slouch".

No names were called. By your logic, the history of musical criticism is bogus, except for those critics whom were composers and had their music performed.

James, please don't put words in my mouth. Lies do not taste very good.

[David Richoux]

Sorry if my quickly typed comment caused any confusion - I was on my way out the door to a gig. I was contrasting the performance by Dick Maloof to the one by Richard White. All I was implying after that was performing a composition by Nat McIntosh (who is no slouch when it comes to playing the tuba, or composing, either) was worth listening to.

Two too many concepts for one message, I guess!

Sorry!

Say, anybody know where this solo is for sale? I'm going to do my damnedest to not buy it.

[Rawtuba]

To everyone looking for the music it's not published, so you will have to buy the Youngblood Brass Band Cd and Transcribe it. Most of what I had in font of me just tells me what key to play what song in as the tunes change each time I play it....Thanks to everyone who took the time to look at it.

RAW

yeah, Rich; Thanks for the info. Your performance was stellar, but I have to stand by my assertion that I really don't like the solo. I understand why you performed it, whether you chose the piece or not. One thing I can't argue with is that it was certainly entertaining to the audience that it was played for. Maybe I ought to remember that audiences aren't filled with classical tuba purists expecting a certain type of composition.

Right now as we look at this forum there are thousands of Sousaphonists, tubists and other low brass roaming the streets and halls of parts of Europe, playing in Carnival brass bands - most def not classical - but they, and the audiences are having some fun!
