Vuvuzela Concerto in B Flat

[doodab]

Well you told us it was a concerto, that is a piece of music in three parts.

Not a hard and fast rule.

Well, maybe, just maybe you have no idea what you posted, something you read on the internet and thought was real, thought it was true, thought it was funny. Get a life nick.

It got a laugh out of me. At least until I heard it.

I thought it was funny.

Me too. I liked it so much, I played it on the piano. Maybe I'll add a drum track.

Well you told us it was a concerto, that is a piece of music in three parts. So as you told us it was a concerto I thought I would ask for the other 2 parts.

You still haven't got the hang of this trolling lark, have you?

Even if it is B flat, that concerto's scored in the wrong octave.

Correct

Not to detract from your observation, but that has been mentioned in many of the places the score has been posted. It seems odd that minestrone's towering musical genius - backed up by nothing less than a piano - didn't spot that

Right. TL your roving reporter had a go on a real life vuvuzela last night, courtesy of an ex-SA radio DJ. They are just a plastic horn-shaped tube so they require an embouchure, and I'm not a brass player. But you can reasonably get 2 notes out of them: 1 main note and another a perfect 4th above it. With some mad squeezing I almost got a third note, an octave above the main one, but then my tonsils felt like they'd flipped back to front and I gave up. But I bet a proper horn player would do better.

Come the olympics it's going to be the spoons for all those cockneys.

I believe I am right in saying that to qualify as a proper "Cockney", you must be born within earshot of the Bow Bells. If that is still a qualification then most modern "Cockneys" would be more at home with a Vuvuzela!!

.......I bet a proper horn player would do better.

Not to be picky but..... a Horn player normally plays Sax..... which has a very different embouchure than brass players (which is what you would use for the Vuvu.....).

I play Sax but can't blow a Trumpet for Tulip!!

St-Mary-le-Bow bells doesn't have quite the same "ring" but they are supposed to be what are within earshot.......
