Episode Two of Band Every Tuesday:

Band Director: The only person who can have stuff on their stand is the oboist because they have special equipment.

Me, the oboist: See flute? I’m special!

The flute player next to me: Sure. We totally don’t have the same parts but on different octaves!

Me: At least trumpet has my side!

Trumpet: Uh. No. Flute is scary. Have you seen them with a gavel?

Me: Nevermind. You win.

top 5 oboe concertos 👀

kalliwoda. yes i am counting it even though it's labelled a concertino. idc. it's great and i love it

mozart. yes i know this answer is Basic. but if it was good enough for flutes to steal it's good enough for this list

marcello. i have a soft spot for baroque, sue me. also if this counts then the kalliwoda definitely does. play it in c minor if you're a real one

strauss. idk i just like strauss

vaughan williams. honestly not my thing to play but with the orchestra accompaniment it really is something special to listen to

also honorable mention has to go out to the grunge concerto by scott mcallister. i heard someone play two movements of this at oboe camp a couple summers ago and it's like...the concentrated essence of contemporary composition. it is So

[ask meme]

#sasha speaks #ask meme #sleepover saturday #nablah #ty! #limited myself to oboe and excluded EH here but if i didn't know that the fiala EH and clarient concerto would be on this list #this was tough! i don't actually listen to or play concerti that much. i am very much not a soloist #(<- says the person playing kalliwoda for her recital next month. and played the donizetti EH concertino for the competition last fall.) #(well the rest of my recital material is chamber music. and i have a collab piano major accompanying the kalliwoda. #so i won't be alone up there. i always play better when i have someone to play with anyway) #and tbh once you push past like. the 1840s. a lot of solo oboe rep starts to lose me... #idk i just do not stylistically Get a lot of late romantic and modern stuff from a musicality pov #like it's lovely to listen to but i have such a hard time interpreting it in my own playing #i had a haaard time learning the vaughan williams. i gave up on it ngl. not for me #and i'm not really into a lot of modern concerti. i think they tend to prioritize crazy technique over like...sounding good #and i'm in it for the musicality anyway not the technique. no one will call me a virtuoso by any stretch and i am fine with that #anyway. the grunge concerto gets an honorable mention cause it kind of broke my brain when i first saw it performed lmao #the third mvt is titled 'headbanging' and when i heard it i was like. wow. someone invented metal for oboe. finally #anyway albrecht mayer has an album called Lost And Found that's just a bunch of lesser known 18th century oboe and EH concerti #and i'm obsessed with it. i would list all of those here but that's cheating since...i mean they're Extremely Classical and they all #kiiind of sound the same lmao. but idc!! classical is my bread and butter i LOVE that shit #i really ought to get the sheets to some of those and learn em myself. and the strauss too. finally a late romantic i can get behind... #well my eyes were on something fiala next i think. so we'll see #oboeposting #LONG RAMBLING IN THE TAGS. sorry lmao. i have a lot of thoughts #sorry goossens but i don't care about you <3 idc if you win competitions i'm keeping kalliwoda

When a carefully crafted piece gets ruined by me making a Very audible mistake

I will ignore the fact that the biggest problem is me not practicing enough, and instead blame my instrument, the weather, or just anything else.

#reedduck meme #tpc: music #fmt: good omens meme #oboe #somehow every performance is me finding a new way to screw things up... #to clarify our conductor is very nice and has never been mad at me for the mistakes I keep making #but I still feel bad when I destroy the results of his (and all the other members') efforts

[theundyingest]

This is how most days go for me after school:

Me: Maybe I should practice my oboe?

Me: Well, I’ll just do my homework first.

*does homework*

Me: Well, it’s 5:30 and I’m all done. Maybe practice now?

Me: Well it is somewhat late. I’ll just mindlessly consume media.

Ready to sleep me: Too late to practice now, buck-o. Maybe practice tomorrow.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Oboe: Schemes. The ‘E’ is silent.

I HATE DRAWING

WHO IS GOING TO LOOK AT THIS. WHY IS IT HARD. AND FOR WHAT

--Literally 10 minutes ago--

I love drawing so much actually. I like to draw my little blorbos in whatever pose I want.

#lol help #DRAWING SOMEONE PLAYING THE OBOE IS HARD OK #I DON'T WANT TO DO IT #but if i don't do it #the meme will not come to fruition #it seems i must continue the grind

rambling about the org xiii orchestra art

as someone in an orchestra for real

(from here)

I can’t tell what instrument Larxene has. I thought it was castanets and someone else suggested egg shakers but both are not traditional orchestra instruments so it’s really just weird

neat that both Xaldin and Lexaeus are playing the BIG percussion instruments, and both Axel and Saix are playing woodwinds (harp is a stringed instrument too so i make no comment on the strings)

There’s no [x]ylophone pun unfortunately because those huge tubes indicate that’s actually a marimba both Xion and Roxas are playing. There is however a pun in the fact that it’s a KEYboard instrument. also they’re just adorable

actually I just remembered that instrument names aren’t common knowledge, here they are:

Xemnas is the conductor/orchestra director; Xigbar on saxophone, Luxord on trumpet, and Marluxia on trombone (that’s our brass); Axel on flute and Saix on.... it’s hard to see but I think that’s an oboe (woodwinds); Xaldin on timpani, Lexaeus on bass drum, Larxene on... something??, and Roxas & Xion on marimba (percussion); and then Vexen on harp, Zexion on violin, and Demyx on double bass (strings)

Marluxia why are you holding a flower I know you have an aesthetic but you need both hands to play a trombone

There are 3 main instrument sections (kinda) that are the “obnoxious know-it-all” instruments, stereotyped as generally having a superiority complex over the other sections because they’re soooo important look at meeee carrying the melody: the trumpet for band, the 1st violin for orchestra, and the soprano for voice (and the secret 4th, the flute for woodwinds). With that said, of course Zexion would play violin

And following both that and his Mystery Gear in 358/2 Days, it would have made more sense thematically for Xigbar to be playing the trumpet. however the saxophone is the funny meme instrument so it still works

There is NO WAY Demyx is a double bass player. It’s the only instrument besides percussion that you have to stand up for (though some orchestras do have the bassists sit on stools), and it’s much more work to actually PLAY than the other string instruments, by virtue of being much bigger. they tend to play less than most other stringed instruments, sure, but if you want to be sitting around not doing much you’re best off picking a different instrument entirely, especially since string sections tend to require more unanimity in playing than the brass/woodwinds/percussion since there’s more people playing each part

harps are rare to include in compositions. they’re very nice and melodious though. idk what this says about Vexen

generally there’s not enough percussion players to cover every single instrument which means that Larxene is definitely running around to cover all the small parts (whatever she’s holding, it’s definitely percussion)... actually with Xaldin Lexaeus Roxas and Xion in percussion as well she might not have to but she is the speedy one so

--

I hope what Saix is holding is an oboe and not a clarinet because if it’s an oboe we get some more symbolism, as well as some very nice... dynamic between his instrument and Zexion’s :)

you see, the oboe is the instrument that tunes the entire rest of the orchestra. whatever the oboe’s A sounds like will be the A the ensemble matches. one could say it’s the most important instrument

HOWEVER, the first chair of 1st violin is nominally the most important instrument- that’s the “concertmaster”, and they get to walk on-stage after everyone else (but before the conductor, obviously). they’re also important for real- based on the repertoire they’re basically guaranteed to have at least one solo. they sit at the very front, right next to the conductor. in my orchestra the concertmaster has a little biography in the program along with the conductor’s

there’s actually multiple rounds of tuning- the first couple it’s the oboe doing their thing and the other non-string instruments matching, and then the last round the concermaster matches the oboe, and then the string instruments match the concertmaster.

and that’s all so very interesting, isn’t it

and finally

Xemnas is 100% a garbage conductor. To the audience he looks very cool, doing all his sweeping motions, but it’s impossible to follow as an orchestra member, so you’re really on your own because the conductor is not conducting properly and not giving helpful cues

assigning the lbc boys concert/marching band instruments for my own sick kicks

a huge thank you to mello who aided me in this serious endeavor.

ayn: he plays piano, sure, but that isn't an instrument you see in concert band and especially not marching band. ayn is very much so a soloist, and you know what instrument likes to pretend it's playing a solo during a group performance? the trumpet. first chair. he's cocky and unfortunately he can back his attitude up with real skill.

alkaid: flute. first chair. practices so, so often. will take on piccolo parts because no one else wants that stress and responsibility. he's also the only guy in the whole entire section, but it doesn't bother him. though rumor has it that half of the section keeps fighting for second chair just to sit next to him. THAT bothers him.

lars: the council was debating this one for a while and settled upon the bari sax. lars has the vibes of both an alto sax player, and a brass player. so why not go with a mix of both? while not the first chair, lars can get serious when need be, but enjoys goofing around and playing meme songs during down time.

clarence: oboe. originally played the clarinet, but stepped it up a notch with the notoriously difficult oboe. though he will play clarinet in marching band to avoid destroying his precious (and expensive) oboe from the Elements.

cael: clarinet. just look at me and tell me this guy doesn't give off clarinet energy. beginner clarinets often sound horrible and squeaky, but by god does this man make the clarinet sound like the most elegant and soothing instrument on this planet.

mc: obvious 'insert whatever instrument you want here' joke. but considering her personality, if i had to assign an instrument, she's giving french horn/mellophone. that bold, brassy sound, but also with the capacity to sound beautiful and elegant when played right.

Ok, now that the school year is ending and my life is getting more boring, do you know what I’ve been doing? Finding music on google to play on the oboe! I’m so proud that I can just read the music that I look up.

I’m in nerd heaven, and I figured I’d share with you some stuff I found (flutes can read off oboe music and apparently I can read from violin music which makes no sense.) Have fun!

patron saint of oboe (sorry) also sketchbooks and beautifully drawn fabric and gestures (this is going to make it obvious i fear)

augh that's sweet. i feel like i struggle with those a lot in my art so it's nice to hear that it works well to others

[ask meme]

[ineffablereedduck]

Me this past year

As someone who just plays instruments as an interest, I really don't have enough practice time, so practicing one instrument always feels like sacrificing the other.
