I hate french horn (<- loves french horn so much)

look at this source of endless frustration

"oh it's cool and swirly" WRONG

those swirls are like a dang maze because god forbid you wan to get the spit out of instrument hope your prayed to the french horn in the sky cause sometimes the spit comes out right away and sometimes it's like playing hide and go seek with your instrument

also also also

composers why why why am i resting for 50 MEASURES. only to come in and play off-beats for the next eternity. please i am on my hands and knees begging if i have to play just off-beats again i am going to lose it. This is a callout post for marches

OH AND THE BEST PART ITS NOT EVEN FRENCH.

This is the oldest piece of music known to humankind. It’s engraved in cuneiform on a tablet from 1400 BC. And it was a hymn to their goddess Nikkal.

I wasn’t actually expecting something serious.

[myboyfriendpetebuttigieg]

That was, um, actually unexpected.

[wolfgangamademozart--official]

What is this grand old instrument? It is almost ethereal to my ears!

[thewholeguacamole]

I wish more ancient music was written down. It’d be interesting to study it!

[the-gayest-dovah]

Only 15th century BC kids will remember this bop

[dobletoi]

It would’ve likely originally been played on a sammûm, a bit like a lyre, in accompaniment of a singer.

Whilst its the oldest piece of music, it’s not complete (I believe the oldest complete song is the Seikilos Epitaph), so it’s transcription is controversial; there are a few differing decipherments.

[thegaymertrainer]

That’s SO cool to see it explained

[airedelalmena]

Something like this made its way into european music in flamenco via gitanos/romani people whose origin was ultimately in india

[xsilversugar]
