I hope everybody is ready for the weekend. I know I am. It’s been a long week, just about as long as the serpent this dude is playing.

It looks to be actual animal horn in places that’s amazing.

The serpent dates back to the 16th century, and was essentially a bass cornett , which in antiquity was actually fashioned from an animal horn (hence the name). But by the time the serpent came on the scene, it was usually made of wood, wrapped in leather. Though it looks like a monstrous recorder, it, and the cornett before it, was played with a cup-shaped mouthpiece like that used on a brass instrument. Mozart wrote for them, as did Wagner. In modern performances, those parts are played by trombone or tuba.

That horn thing he’s playing is pretty weird, too.

That’s because every good composer/arranger knows that you always write a part for trombone if you possibly can.

Depending on where the spit valve is, that could get embarrassing.

I don’t believe the words “rock” and “serpent horn” have ever appeared together in the same sentence in the whole of western music history.

Like I tell the parents of all my students: “It’s not spit, it’s water. Condensed moisture from the breath.” No, really.

Said by every trombone player ever. Mahler knew a thing or two about trombones, though, and he still left them out of his 4th symphony.

Not in this guy’s case, if he reeeeeally enjoyed the tune.

Probably just jealous, or had a grudge, or was high. Whatever. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while.
