Horn Orchesta of Russia
Rated • 1 review • classical music, russia, music, orchestras, brass • horns.ru
The idea of establishing a horn orchestra belonged the Czech horn player, cellist and musical director, Johann Anton Maresch who had settled in St Petersburg. In 1751 he managed to tune the simple hunting horns and combine these instruments together. This idea made it possible to produce a smooth and cohesive sound for the orchestra. Russian Empress Elisabeth the First was deeply moved by the sound of that orchestra. Within a short period of time, these orchestras could be found in almost every private aristocratic residence and this Russian Lord's amusement turned to be a true work of art. Before long one couldn't find any important event in Russia, where horn orchestra wasn't used. Horn orchestras have often performed at diplomatic and state Receptions, Summits, Tsar's weddings, Balls, hunting parties and folk festivities. Musical styles however have been slowly changing and horn orchestras were gradually pushed aside by symphony orchestras and undeservedly forgotten.
There were many attempts to revive horn orchestras during the hundred and fifty years that followed, but all of them failed. The secrets of playing the instruments and producing the notes were lost. Reproduction of the very simple concept that every instrument produces only one note turned out to be very difficult in practice because performance of the integral musical composition this way is possible only by ideal phonation. Contemporaries have justly called horn orchestra a resemblance of an organ, creating miracles of expression and power. We can be very proud because everyone can see now how history is being brought back to life.
The Horn Orchestra of Russia possesses 74 instruments, which are unique because of their form and sound. All instruments were hand made by the skilled master and musician Vladimir Goloveshko. Methods of hard firing and brass alloy - was his "secret sealed with seven seals". The sound of each horn depends on the thickness and form of each instrument. Improved mouthpieces made it possible to tune the instruments and help to produce very pure sounds.
