Guy, what patch did you use for the cornet triple tongueing?
Nice composition by the way. Perhaps you could put the solo part down an octave and play it on the Euphonium - Oh! excpet there's no vibrato patch [:'(]
Don't cry.
For the triple tongue I think I used the upbeat 3 and I omitted the down beat by shortening the note and used a stacc note for the melody down beats on a different track.. I synced this perfectly so it would sound like 1 player trying to sound like 2 players rather than sounding like 2 players, if that makes any sense....In other words, no cheating. As soon as it started slowing down I switched to perf rep and played it in real time. I remember in high school a guest trumpetist came over and played a passage like that and it had an imprint on me, sounded like 2 trumpets!
Yes I had a listen to the triple upbeat sample. If you could just silence the downbeat note it would be a great patch for extended triple tongueing.
Your right about sounding like two players. That's exactly the effect when playing these really fast passages so commonly found in the traditional theme and variation works that cornet (and Euphonium) players love.
I can recommend two essential recordings of cornet solos. This first is Winton Marsallis playing a whole CD of these theme and variation peices. Some of the most virtuosic playing you will ever hear and it includes a Moto Perpetuo peice of continuous rapid semiquavers lasting over five minutes without stopping (using circular breathing) [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]]

and the second inlcudes a wonderful Salon style cornet work accompanied by a show style pit band, which judging by your cornet peice you will greatly enjoy. the soloist is malcolm McNab who is "The" session trumpet player on most of the big hollywood movies in the last 20 years. It also includes an unbeleivable performance on the Bb trumpet of the complete Tchaikovsky violin concerto where he plays the violin part as written [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]] [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]] I kid you not. in the cadenza he plays six octaves [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]] [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]] [[[[[[[:|]]]]]]]
