Mountain | reviews | videos | photos

1. They play the song too slowly
2. it was said they were decended from the celts
3. RIIIIIIIIICOLA!!!
4. I'm not sure but this song looks alot like Band of Brothers main theme! Must be really grateful to hear that in loco.
5. This is the kind of thing that the Muslims want to destroy. Destroy all culture and kneel on a rug. That's all the culture those people have.
6. It seems Wagner drew some inspiration from traditional horns of the Alps.  The beginning of "The Ring" is meant to mimic the meandering sounds of the river Rhine which begins in the Alps. Perhaps he began with Alpine style horns for that reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HujjNQPv2U
   
   The violins then represent the fluid motion of the river as it descends into the German heartland.
7. We played these in Horn class today at college - so much fun! :)
8. Avalanche in 3...2...1....
9. Seeing the Matterhorn with my own eyes a couple years ago is counted as one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life. It left me absolutely breathless (or was that the altitude? :P LOL only kidding) and I can't wait to return to that gorgeous little town of Zermatt....
10. Alphorn are simply too big and too grave to fit in a video and watched on PC, better to have a live experience, go to the Alps, Alps is a Region on its own nor deutsch nor italiana nor française or slovene too. The Alps are the Alps ;)
11. Excellent...Much better than hearing a black male dude speaking a perverse sort of English and swearing every fourth word.......
12. Plus the instruments, since they do not have valves or keys, are only able to play withing their harmonic series, thus making modulation and complex harmonies quite problematic.
13. Embrace the music for what it is. Imagine the sonorous sound of a hundred of these echoing through the mountains! Yeah it may be I, V, I but there's beauty in simplicity. This is the instrument the way it should sound, take it or leave it.
