Me to. As stated before. The Euph is a beautiful instrument with alot of tasks actually. Sometimes we play the filling part. The other time the bassline. And often of the times we play the melody along with the Flugelhorns or Trumpets but a octave lower. Or sometimes we need to play really high. Thats why i love the Euph. Bc of it’s warm sound and it’s versatility. It really is a jack of all trades. 😁😁😁
We cAn UsE mUtEsSsS??!! Ok, I have never felt this way about a song, I almost started crying. I play euphonium in high school and this is the most beautiful piece I have ever heard. And how he's able to play this?! It's beyond me. I barley see him take breaths which is very impressive!! I would totally take lessons from you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for kind words. Regarding lessons, if you're interested in online lessons feel free to email me at euphonium.legends@gmail.com and I'll gladly forward more detail
Creo que soy el único que se atreve a comentar en español. Pero no puedo permitir que el lenguaje sea una dificultad para expresar cómo admiro a este músico y su gran orquesta. La calidad en la ejecución es brillante. Soy músico y me encanta escucharlos. Gracias por compartir tu talento.
Happened to me in an exam.I couldn't use what was my normal instrument as it was playing up, so I borrowed a friends, which was a newer, far nicer version of the same instrument. But it ended up having crazy sticky valves, which took away from the performance. I was happy if not for those valves.
I played trumpet all through middle school,marched it for a year. Started playing baritone (t.c) and marched that this past marching band season.. I love the sound and its fun and pretty to play but I sure do miss the medley. Kudos to you btw,that sounded amazing
@@ppebisnade5592 That's how we can sneak in ;) just call ourselves a tenor tuba and walk in with our euphonium. "yes band director this is tenor tuba it does the tenor tuba toots"
May be I'm a bit biased because this was my instrument in high school band, but i feel Euphoniums are an underrated instrument in bands. They are absolutely beautiful when played well
I only played Euphonium for 1 year due to shortage. But as a trombone player. You really inspire me to play it more. And I loved this arrangement. My favorite Christmas movie.
As a fellow euphonium player I enjoy watching you play I still have much to learn and I want to become this good. I'm in the 10th grade and I strive to become as good as you
That is a very cool arrangement! Polar Express is one of my favorites but that's because I'm a horn player. 😁📯 You guys sound amazing! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
Troy Hawkins the 4th valve have the same function as a trigger does for example let’s say if you were on a Bb the trigger could get you to C on a trombone (yes i know your talking about euphoniums) without having to go to 6th position which is like 1st and 3rd valve on euphonium and the 4th valve on euphonium can get you to C
@@ephronium hes talking about the trigger under the thumb on the left hand, which acts as a lever to push your main tuning slide out to make the sharper notes more in tune
I'm a bass trombone player but I still love watching these videos just because it's so good also I've never seen that thumb key on a euphonium before can anyone tell me what it does
@@therearebeesinmyeyesplease9650 well yeah, I figured that, but I'm wondering what it does specifically, like how on bass trombone the first trigger lowers the key from B flat to F and adding the second trigger on top of the first drops it from F to D. I know the valve on the side of the horn drops it from B flat to F, but I've never seen the thumb key on the front before
Hi, I’m a trombone player in high school and I was wondering about your thoughts on shlike mouthpieces and how u feel about them compared to other types.
My high school didn’t have any euphoniums after last year because the last one we had graduated so I switched from trombone and now that I have found this I aspire to play that fast and clear
I can’t believe I posted this two years ago. I’ve gotten to the level of buying my own euphonium, which I just realized is the same euphonium that is being used here. I have ordered a Besson Prestige silver gold model. I can’t wait to play it.
I like baritones/ euphoniums I play trumpet for 6th grade middle school though Edit: I am now in 8th grade still playing trumpet and in the top band and gonna start marching soon
It is called treble clef and it's written in bass clef because if it was written in treble clef the sheet would have a lot of under aditional lines and wouldn't be practical
@@p1mplul576 i'm from spain. I play the trumpet but i have friends who play euphonium and they usually get both clefs depending on the composer or arranjer of the sheet music
For secondary school players, there is an option for bass or treble playing. However, in more professional styles, you're essentially required to learn both clefs, as well as another clef, called Tenor clef. Tenor clef is the midpoint between the two, as it allows in-staff playing, but reads as concert pitch notes. You can see all three being used here: th-cam.com/video/JwmcZ8X9HyA/w-d-xo.html
what model is that? I love the tone! I'm looking into an instrument to purchase. I'm currently a student in high school, and I've had a Wessex horn for about a year now. I'm looking to pursue music as a career, so I want to look into a better horn. Besson, Yamaha, john packer, XO brass, these are all brands I've looked at. I would especially like one with an intonation trigger system on the main tuning slide. throwing price range out the window, what model should I go for? all feedback appreciated! once again, wonderful videos. your clarity in your upper register is something I continuously strive for. meh, all with practice, I suppose!
GameRex i would personally recommend a besson sovereign/prestige or a sterling virtuoso. Both of these brand have a trigger on the main tuning slide and the instruments are just great. I personally play a besson sovereign
@@Matonizz I got my Neo 2 today it's a really nice horn, I've heard alot of good things about besson I just prefer Yamaha for myself but you make every horn sound godly
Hey Matonizz! Awesome video! I was wondering if you could explain to me your thought process on warming down after practicing or performing, i can’t really find a definite opinion of warming down and I’m curious as to whether or not it’s a necessary part of the routine
Lots of opinions on this. The idea is to relax muscles after playing so the warm up is easier the next day. I normally prefer I very extensive warm up and unless I really over do it in a concert, I would not normally warm down. Same time, some of my colleagues that are great players always warm down. It comes down to time management and your personal preference. Hope this helps friend. Best, M
im a baritone player, but i play euphonium for 2 months, and back again to baritone. tbh i prefer euphonium bcz more soft than baritone. but euponium is heavier than baritone in marching band:(
this dude really likes playing the euphonium
Why wouldn't he? It's a beautiful solo and melody instrument. I'm a trumpet/French horn player btw
It’s a beautiful instrument and this bloke is at the top of game and a wonderful player
I play trombone, but also flute and bass recorder

Nah fr
My favorite part was when they played the euphonium
really? i liked the part where they played the euphonium
I’m playing it this year I’m scared lol
@@rosoboyBut have you seen the part where they play Euphonium?

i dont even play euphonium and yet you continue to dominate my recommended. as it seems to be fate, i shall subscribe.
Oooh yeah! Welcome to the family :D

I have never seen a mute that big, but I am a trumpet player that may be why
I’ve seen a tuba mute, those things are huge
Ayden Rogers when I switched from trumpet to tuba, one thing I had to try out was the tuba mute, that thing was huge......
It looks like he just pulled out a bucket and popped it in!
I didn't know that they existed before I watched this. Btw I'm a French horn player.
You need a whole crew to put the Tuba mute in.
I played trumpet all through middle school,marched it for a year. Started playing baritone (t.c) and marched that this past marching band season.. I love the sound and its fun and pretty to play but I sure do miss the medley. Kudos to you btw,that sounded amazing
Yoooo. Finally another person who marches in T.C. Baritone 😁😁
Yooooo treble clef gang?
Beautiful sound train : =(
Euphonium Express : =)
Never seen a euphonium mute before👍🏾
I love the added part on the bottom it’s really nice to follow along
It's such a shame that euphoniums aren't in a tradition orchestra :( they're so beautiful
yea but atleast we have tenor tubas tho
@@ppebisnade5592 That's how we can sneak in ;) just call ourselves a tenor tuba and walk in with our euphonium. "yes band director this is tenor tuba it does the tenor tuba toots"
I play euphonium and I am absolutely inspired these guys are my heros
May be I'm a bit biased because this was my instrument in high school band, but i feel Euphoniums are an underrated instrument in bands. They are absolutely beautiful when played well
I love how you play and your tone I hope one day I can move my fingers as fast as you. I’m also a euphonium player

Woah, it's actually extremely similar to the movie, that's awesome
10:18 are you sure they didn't give you woodwind music with that 32nd 10thlit run?
Nice! We just played Polar Express in our Christmas consert. Different arrangement, though.
You have replaced your XO?
Thanks friend and no, just tested for few concerts :)
Happy holidays friends! Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe if you enjoyed this video. Best wishes, Matonizz
Matonizz Happy Holidays to you too!
This just now uploaded. Me like euphonium music! 😃
Can you make a video on a trigger euphonium please?
Troy Hawkins the 4th valve have the same function as a trigger does for example let’s say if you were on a Bb the trigger could get you to C on a trombone (yes i know your talking about euphoniums) without having to go to 6th position which is like 1st and 3rd valve on euphonium and the 4th valve on euphonium can get you to C

Josephus oh i never realized that
@@joshuafuentes5411 So that's what that does...
Good euphoniums sound amazing
This was AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing!
Nice
My favorite part of Matonizz's vids are always seeing Abby in the background xD
If i would have to join one of these bands would i have to learn bass clef or do they have parts in trebel clef?
Definitely you would need both bass and treble clef :)
Matonizz aight im switching to trumpet
@@varatic644 I can read both it's not that hard to learn bass tho
@@flyingcuber9657 i read both fine but i prefer treble so much more
I like bass clef because it's in concert pitch
Brilliant arrangement...wonderfully played
that's why I love music
They better have started passing around hot chocolate to the audience during "Hot Chocolate"
I'm a bass trombone player but I still love watching these videos just because it's so good
also I've never seen that thumb key on a euphonium before can anyone tell me what it does
It's just like the key on bass trombones used for reaching notes easier.
@@therearebeesinmyeyesplease9650 well yeah, I figured that, but I'm wondering what it does specifically, like how on bass trombone the first trigger lowers the key from B flat to F and adding the second trigger on top of the first drops it from F to D.

@@hesp9942 It's a main tuning slide trigger.
@@hesp9942 I think that one is for alternative fingerings so it's easier to play the really fast rising notes.
It's just a main tuning slide key, you press it down, note gets a bit lower in pitch. It's called trigger :)
Great job as always!!
The c# at 332… nice 👍🏼
Hi, I’m a trombone player in high school and I was wondering about your thoughts on shlike mouthpieces and how u feel about them compared to other types.
Hey what type of euphonium are you playing in this video?
That was insane...
I've never seen a trigger euphonium before. What does the trigger do? I thought the fourth valve on a euphonium was like the trigger on a trombone?
Behold, the god of Euphonium!
ah yes, i remember my baritone days. playing tuba is pretty fun doe
Cool beginning!
My high school didn’t have any euphoniums after last year because the last one we had graduated so I switched from trombone and now that I have found this I aspire to play that fast and clear

Were can I find this piece
The second euphonium really needed his valves oiled 4:32 lol
That first few measures said hey give me Corona LOL
"air sounds"
idk why i laughed so hard at that
Can you play the great locomotive chase please☺☺
with how often I look at his fingerings, i’m gonna end up learning euphonium
Just a questions do you need a degree in music or any of that to join a band like this?
No you do not. But you need a lot of skill, which often is acquired through going to music college or university :)
I like baritones/ euphoniums I play trumpet for 6th grade middle school though
Edit: I am now in 8th grade still playing trumpet and in the top band and gonna start marching soon
What’s like the specific name of this piece and like the arranger?
Do you always play in Bass Key? Bc i cant read that.. Do you also have the sheet music for the normal Key?(I dont know how its called in english)
It is called treble clef and it's written in bass clef because if it was written in treble clef the sheet would have a lot of under aditional lines and wouldn't be practical
@@rgibeli ah ok thanks for the answer... so you cant compare it to the european standards in sheet music with treble clef?

Trumpet gang
do you think you could also post the trumpet music too
That's one of the things I will try to set up in near future as well. Not only for trumpet but other brass instruments outside euphonium :)
You switch to besson for the concert?
Yep, just for few concerts :)
4:48 lugs aluminium rocket in instrument for a beautiful solo, only to be drowned out by crowd

What euph is that in the video? Looks good though!
Besson Prestige :)
This Guy vs. The Flight of the Bumblebee??
At 2:54 I thought your valves were making that sound lmao
Would you happen to know if your Euphonium 2 buddy has a TH-cam channel?
I do know and he definitely doesn't have one. We'll make more videos together in near future :)
I play baritone it like that exactly
That is such a beautiful horn!! What’s the name? I’m looking around at some and don’t know what’s best.
It is Besson Prestige friend :)
The euphonium mute is real
what is that golden valve? what is it for?
Trigger and it is for lower down the pitch through main tuning slide :)
New euphonium?
Just for couple shows to try out, now back to my regular instrument :)
How many french horns do you have in your band?
3
Matonizz thanks
Did you and Mike switch horns for a concert?
No, I just tried out different horn for few concerts :)

My least favorite thing in bands like these are when they have that high hat beat on the drum set. (Ex. at 9:37) it just sounds so cheesy
