That's a funny looking euphonium at the start
You didn't hear the news? They've started making euphoniums with a slide instead of valves. They also decided to move the bell to face forward, it's revolutionary! Never been done before...
As a trombone I cans say euphonium is a funny looking trombone not the other what
@@danieltaite8156 euphonium is just a trombone with autotune

this technique probebly only exists cause somoneone was told it can't be done

There’s multiple videos it’s just this one song I can manage to notes at once but not three
@@fardpig4269 You make it sound easy.
like my teacher's face when I played B3 note right after he told me I can't play B3 note with concerto flute in C
I feel bad for the other two Euphonium players that went uncredited
Little did you know they were his two clones
😂😂😂😂😂
It's technically not a euphonium. It's a tenor horn. They're a bit smaller than a euphonium.
@@tburn76 tenor horn as in a lower French horn?
@@tburn76 mate thats a euphonium
The Euphonium is the best kept secret for bands.
“You play the what?”
“…it’s like a tiny tuba”
"OH THAT"
Story of my life lol
This hurts me on a spiritual level
fun fact i've played jazz piano in a local band for 4 years and i only found out the euphonium exists when i went to a friend's band concert and saw a mini tuba sitting there
this is literally exactly what I tell people
I love how there's a video exactly like this already, but with a different performance. It's still James Morrison, it's still this piece, there's also a transcription, just a different performance.
Ikr, it's amazing
Lol I saw that one first
.. And he does it on a trombone there. To me thats even more impressive, he can't just play euphonium extremely well, but also can pull of the triple notes on a trombone
Did not even realise this is also James Morrison!
Also the multi phonics were performed on a trombone
For those wondering, this is mainly achieved through multi-phonics (done when you hum into the horn as you play). He is taking advantage of micro-tonalities in each note to build three note chords
are micro tonalities basically overtones?
@@mrpinguin9189 I’m not entirely sure what he means by micro-tonalities as I don’t hear any microtones. My understanding is that he is utilizing the note being played, his own vocalization, and the combination tone that our ears perceive/create as the difference between the played and sung note. Google combination tones to learn more about this.
@@mrpinguin9189 Basically humming a different, slightly out of tune note (a microtone off from what it should be) to create beats at the desired frequency of the third note, I think. The wording threw me off at first too.
Yes it's a mix of both micro and overtones. I don't know the science behind it, but everyone here's got some truth in their comments lol
@@lucasprim76 Where are the microtones fitting in? Everything heard is in the 12 note western scale and, if he’s utilizing undertones which he certainly is, all the notes would still have to be in that scale regardless of whether we hear them.
This channel is beginning to depress me telling me how much I can’t do lmao
That's when we figure out how 🤔
Here's me still practicing "hot cross buns" on my saxophone after 13 years of playing.
Wait till you get married.😅
I'm rather amazed by the incredible variety out there
you can't do everything anyway, why should any addition to that list bother you?
My channel makes me want to quit brass instruments
This technique was used by Karl Maria von Weber in his concertino for horn and orchestra, written in 1806. He was the one who was ahead of his time.
The other person not mentioned is the horn player for whom Weber wrote it for: Joseph Dautrevaux. After all, Weber was not a horn player and would probably not know this was even possible unless Dautrevaux demonstrated it.
Definitely read that as Karl Marx von Weber at first and was very confused
@@SaltosAxe The famous communist composer? Different guy.

You couldn’t be anymore right
Absolutely.
I am going play 3 gigs with him in april! Im just a normal 17 year old bloke
this looks like the didgeridoo techique.
So you make the base tone with your voice... and you 'sing' the note
Multiphonics, he buzzed two notes and hums the third
@@eisros nah, it's overtone overlap between the sung and played note which results in third note.
@@eisros exactly what the guy above me said, he buzzed one note, and hummed a second, and the overtone causes a natural third note to appear
It doesn't matter that I understand the technique involved, this is friggin' incredible.
everybody gangsta until the tuba starts playing chords
That's a euphonium😂
@@nathanramirez4918 thats a small tuba
@@poss420 you’re not wrong but I still hate when people call it that
@@poss420 That is not, in fact, a small tuba. it's a properly-sized euphonium.
@@nathanramirez4918 a euphonium is a tenor tuba, so it’s not incorrect to call it a tuba.
My brother used to do this all the time on the tuba! Miss that sound!
I tried doing 2 notes on tuba and almost passed out. You gotta push a whole lot of air through yourself to get it to sound decent, can't imagine how good of a tubist your brother is
@@BobBob-et9io tuba doesn't take that much air flute takes the most air in an orchestra
@Justin Wescott he’s actually passed, unfortunately. But those musical memories live on!

"You can't play 3 notes at the same time."
Pianist: "Yes."
you're right we cant play only 3, but all 88 if you lay on the piano
holy shit I can barely play one note let alone 3
You play OneNote hum the second note and throat sing The third
@@williammorgan2366 wtf? really? :O
@@DavidIancu yes but I can’t throat sing
It took me a second but as soon as I realized this was Curiosity Show and the presenter was playing so well this video got 10x more badass
Yup, Rob Morrison (no relation) an absolutely amazing person
I was just about able to do this when I played euphonium, maybe I should pick up playing again. And great vid as always George!
Fun fact: this video is what inspired me to make the first "You can't play 2 notes at the same time"
But he isn't... He is singing one, playing another, and being in tune creates the third harmonic...
Who else but James Morrison?
im curious how hes getting that third note, i know that by using your voice you can play 2 notes at once but is he doing some kind of controlled double buzz to get those top split notes in the chords?
Yes, double buzz
Not to go all trombone nerd here but he isnt splitting his embouchure to create multiple notes, he is singing the middle voice in such good balance and tune with the bottom voice that he plays that a third harmonically produced overtone can be clearly heard, creating the illusion of playing three notes. This can work on the trombone too, not just euphonium, but it is easier on euphonium because the timbre is more compatible with overtones already.
@@addisonmaye-saxon9602 yeah either way is possible, but since he’s moving a lot I’d say the double buzz is more likely
Definitely not, a double buzz produces a much different sound and is not conventionally paired with multiphonics. I can achieve this 3 note sonority literally right now in my living room by playing a Bb, singing and F and hearing a D, and then if you move the sung note up and down while keeping the Bb as a pedal point, exactly like in the video, you can hear the third notes in exactly the same way produced entirely sonically, no extra work necessary.
@@eisros definitely not double buzz. It's an overtone overlap between the sung and played note which results in a third tone.
Hes humming. It's an easy concept. Difficult in application. Hes dealing with binaural frequencies. Takes a good ear to sort those playing live. Kudos.
Dang I remember seeing the vid that was in 2019. Now this. Time flies.
OH BABY I HEAR THE BLUES A CALLING TOSSED SALAD AND SCRAMBLED EGGS
The G flat (or at least I think; I play a tenor trombone in B flat) at the end just vibrated so well
also if anyone has an explanation I would love to know how to do this
Next time: You can't play four notes at the same time.
I played euphonium in high school marching band and then college band and that is an achievement beyond anything I ever imagined.
Alright TH-cam I yield, I’ll subscribe to this wild jazz technique channel
for anyone wanting to try this, all you have to do is voice 10ths for the 2 note harmonies and drop your voice to the line that starts on the 5th. The top line are just overtones that come out of the buzzed pitch and the voiced pitch.
I'm a euphonious player but "society" says i need to play trombone to be in the big band.
Basically, euphoniums are only in wind bands, brass bands, and marching bands (although marching variations are more common), with occasional exceptions. It's unfortunate, but so much "classical" music was written before euphoniums became popular, and euphoniums admittedly don't work as very good substitutes for trombones due to timbre differences. At least we get our own anime... as weird as that is to say.
Every time I see James Morrison I keep going “OH GOD HE’S BACK”
A million years ago, it seems, Bill Watrous was conducting a clinic at my school.
Afterward, he sat down with just the trombones and taught us some of the methods he used.
Multiphonics was one of them. I got pretty good at it in college...but I stopped playing a long, long time ago.
As a pianist
Y’all are amateurs that should be appreciated
i learn something new about music from this channel almost every time i click on it.
This OVA of Hibike Euphonium is certified *vibe*
Aussie Jazz legend.
I wasn't expecting the Curiosity Show x George Collier crossover.
James has hair
Wow, so how is this done? Does the tuba player hum while playing? But then how does he make the third tone? Does it have to do with overtones?
Jep, that's exactly how it is done. My trombone teacher showed me once an I can do it, but not play actual coherent pieces of music with this technike
Not a tuba btw
Humming and playing at the same time, the trick is to think of humming more in the throat, it helps make the multiphonics work. The third "ghost" note is a harmonic that comes out with certain intervals when they're played in tune (or at least close to it), like harmonics on a stringed instrument.
@lynch technically it is a tuba. Euphonium is a tenor tuba
There's not a tuba player in this video though
After a curiosity show TH-cam binge this hit weird
I am loving his expression while he is doing this crazy stuff.
Yep, that's renowned musician James Morrison for you
as a guitarist i see this as a win
Scriabin: "You can't play 25 notes at the same time on a piano"
Laughs in Mongolian throat singing.
yo, played this song for my school's Jazz Band, it's "Things aren't what they used to be"
a euphonium and a tiny baby euphonium
For anyone who has learnt multiphonics (kinda fun, and not immensely hard - hard to do well and getting the '3rd' note require more skill than I ever could hope to have, and then just being able to do that on demand...... yh... insane) have a bit of 'physics fun' by seeing what happens as you sweep the hummed note closer and closer to the note you are playing... when I tried this on Trombone things got interesting.
Bass clarinet can do some pretty incredible multiphonics. Humming works, but for some you just adjust the embouchure and throat and get even more kaleidoscopic sounds. See Edmund Welles covering Creep
Damn I gotta give this a try. Baritone is my instrument, and i love it to this day!
When high school band is a dying art and you don’t have enough people in the bass section:
My guess is that he's humming through a double buzz
Shoutout to John cena on the other two Euphoniums
I hear the melody and I get flashbacks the last time somebody played a bunch of notes on an instrument that wasn't supposed to.
This man turned a brass instrument into a distorted guitar dafUQ
The kazoo was my favorite part lol
Did Tom Scott time travel to be in the back of this video?
Multiphonics is something cool i just came across on trumpet
Hes gotta be engaging his Vocal Folds
How can he even do that? And how can you even hear it and be able to write it down. Amazing on both parts to me

Euphonium is my favorite jazz instrument
OH RAD, this is from a segment on Curiosity Show. It's great and getting uploaded here constantly from the official channel, I definitely recommend it. The trumpeter's name is one of the hosts, Rob Morrison. :)
Any relation, I have no idea.
Not related, Rob is a jazz musician as a hobby
Man really just came up with by saying "Ferb I know what we're gonna do today"
HE’S BECOMING TOO POWERFUL
My french horn teacher once showed me that he could do that and I was staring at him like «wot, how is this even possible»
3 notes = double buzz and hum
OK, didn't know life had these possibilities. I've been sleeping on life.
Is that similar to growling? That would be the only thing I could thing of to do that
*laughs in piano*
Yeah tell that to my drumset😎
1:09 you can see a really creepy reflection on his instrument 😂
Genuinely assumed this would just be a transcription of Fnugg
Dang these the guys from curiosity show too!!

You'll notice all off the diads are a major 10th apart. On any brass instrument you can hum the 10th of the note you're playing to get effect. Not sure how he's getting the triads or if it's just overtone magic.
how much fricking skill this man has is unreal
as a trombone player, i can feel the hyperventilation from stress and playing at the same time
Drummers: “not quite my tempo”
me: gets out piano
While this feat is very difficult, it isn’t as hard as you may think. If your instrument is tuned just right, you can play one note and the note one octave above it at once, then “sing” the other while buzzing.
legend says he played 2 notes at once and now he has returned to add a +1 to that number
now hey wait a minute
@ 32 seconds ...."WOULD YOU POINT THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE PLEASE?"
me, a euphonist, who was forced to play trombone for jazz: hey what the f u c k
I was wondering if you would get to this. It's my favourite James Morrison track.

wow i didnt know tony soprano was such a talented musician
He was humming
James Morrison is a genius
Imagine the euphonium player's embouchure.
Now High Schooler me calls that a Baritone! Or a really weird rocket launcher that you can play…
