For trumpet in Bb as this was a commissioned transcription for a player looking to play on Bb trumpet!
I like this solo, but I find Arturo Sandoval's, "Rhythms of Our World," from the Live At The Blue Note concert absolutely beautiful. I hope to see a transcription of the opening solo. Great work, as always!
She is playing it on a C trumpet.
@@gertnood that’s what he’s saying
Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the clarification! I was about to unleash a trumpet rant about how it is in C and not Bb in the comments, you caught me in my tracks.
I'll have you know, my trumpet solo in 6th grade band was most beautiful. My mom told me so. So I don't know what you're trying to pull here!
I bet it was the greatest of all time warrigt
Your mom is right. Listen to her
Who’s gonna tell him?
@@benderoo6433 Tell him what? He spittin facts
Shame on them for disrespecting your moms words
I’ve been playing the trumpet for 50 years. Some people are arguing because this isn’t a fast, hard jazz solo with lots of notes and improvisation. That’s true, but it’s perfect. I can play this solo, too, or at least could at one time, but not with this sound or perfection. It’s not about the difficulty but the beauty. It is as good as one can play.
That’s thing thing I love about pieces like this. To a non-musician this might sound slow and easy, but there are so many little things that have to go just right to create such a beautiful sound on a piece like this.
While I don't play trumpet, I concur, this was beautifully done..... this is truly where the trumpet shines..... my instrument of choice was the clarinet, but I love the trumpet solo in Blue Ridge Saga..... I played that song when I was in middle school so many years ago and while I love the clarinet parts in it, the trumpet solo has always been my favorite part of that song
Really beautiful, so talented thank you
@@christopherrosas2738 bro who are you.. I feel like i just encountered my clone. Clarinet is my main instrument, sure that's a coincidence, but Blue Ridge Saga is my favorite piece I've ever performed. I have never even heard anyone else except my band mates even mention that song
@@danteawilson yeah, played Blue Ridge Saga back in 6th, 7th and 8th grade here in Texas..... that was so many years ago and playing all those years I just fell in love with the song..... now I need to get me a clarinet again almost into my 40's just so I can get back to the smooth sounds of the clarinet.....
She played in concert with my local symphony orchestra a few years back. It felt like she landed on each note like a butterfly. Such a tender, beautiful tone.
"It felt like she landed on each note like a butterfly" What a beautiful way to describe her playing. I agree she has a delicate but accurate touch. Like everything in life no two players are the same as with any instrument.
ll2llk@@ChicTumshy
Perfect poetic description
... landed on each note like a butterfly ... Wonderful description!
That sound quality was amazing. Her vibrato is awesome and she plays those high notes flawlessly!
I clicked on this because the of title ... 'The Most Beautiful Trumpet Solo'. Indeed, her quality and tone are impeccable. However, this is a simple tune (by far, not the most beautiful I've heard), and those 'high notes' are NOT very high.
@@davidjewett5758 what do you get out of saying this? Anything above an A above the staff is generally considered a "high note" whether it's truly "high" or not. G and below is low, A to G above the staff is mid, and anything above that is high lol. It may be simple but centering the notes and playing with that much control and vibrato is insane. No need to toot your horn by bragging that a high C isn't that high to you on a comment that was only using terminology that every trumpet player uses regardless of skill level and range. You'll see people like Maynard or Winton calling a C above the staff high C even though they can play way above that. No need to be egotistical
@@user-sq7nj5tg5p I was attracted to this video because the title led me to believe it was some kind of super duper, extra special piece. Thus, I take exception to the title; her play was superb.
I thought her vibratos were nice 🤣
@@davidjewett5758 You can listen to her other plays. I watched her play Libertango. It was like a trance.
It's cool when people can shred on a trumpet and play a million notes a minute jazz solo, but this is where the instruments shines. In simple, elegant and beautiful melodies. Anyone can play harshly on a trumpet, but not everyone can play beautifully.
totally agreed
kzhead.info/sun/rdWHhNCshnmeaJs/bejne.html Learn from the best. Not every jazz solo consists of a thousand notes per minute. That's exactly what the best jazz trumpet player don't do...
This is literally 10x easier than learning to improvise well.
@@iamgod3411 Mmm I don’t know mate. To just play the notes themselves sure. But that broad relaxed sound is something that I haven’t heard very often. Maybe you have and then fair enough but while I would say this particular piece is an easy one compared to Tina’s typical rep , her chops are ridiculous and the way each note just sings perfectly even the little semiquaver lines is just killer. “10x easier” for me is missing a crucial aspect of trumpet playing and the really cool part of this performance.
Well, I can neither play the trumpet harshly nor beautifully. So that's that.😅
Man, I knew trumpet could be better than I usually give it credit for, but this was stellar. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I'm curious what you have heard that made you think trumpet wasn't that good
@@simonlutgens my guess is lower level bands/trumpet players
Haha trumpet go BRRR
you should listen to beirut’s songs, trumpet became one of my favourite instruments thanks to them!!
Watch this then kzhead.info/sun/fMVvk5qtgHuYkok/bejne.html Skip to 7:30 if you don’t want to watch the whole thing as this is the best part. It will sound like there is two trumpets playing when it is just him. Enjoy!
I played the trumpet daily for almost 10 years. Unfortunately, it’s extremely rare to find an opportunity to play something like this for an audience that would appreciate it. Trumpets are often used for accents or extreme effects, or a solo that screams out above the band. Also, nearly all players will clam up a note here or there, so composers tend to limit the time that a trumpet solo is exposed like this.
I was in a drum and bugle corps in high school. So of the trumpet solos in competitions made me wilt.
I think fairly relaxed and independent trumpet solos aren’t uncommon at all in jazz
If you've tried playing a trumpet, you know how impressive it is to get notes so clean!
I would be happy with clean 🧼 dishes
WHY CANT A HIGH E SOUND RIGHT FGHDKJGFK
@@blueybarnes9442 then go wash it.
I can barely play a b right now trying to get that high c soon
A little easier on the c trumpet but still super impressive
Tine is one of my favorite trumpet soloists ever! She has recently recovered from cancer, and she was so incredibly positive on social media throughout her diagnosis and treatment, so love goes out to her!
Wow, did not that! God bless her!
May she be healthy and play Beautifully for decades to come
She plays jazz also and is Canadian, I adore girl's who.,,
so much love to dear sweet Tine.
Even more touchingly beautiful
Simple melody. Execution is immaculate and makes all the difference.
God that's so well put.
It's a beautiful melody, too.
It actually reminds me of the Dynasty Theme Song in some ways.
it's ok.
She plays with a perfection that is unrushed and not overly articulated. I've heard other players play the same pieces she does, and they sound like they're overblowing or trying to play faster. It's hard to explain. Her tone is round and it doesn't bite. Listening to her play is heaven.
Heaven.
Like she isnt playing a trumpet. A french horn with trumpet sound.
Right on. Overblowing is the curse of trumpet playing, IMO brought on by clueless public school music teachers with no brass background who teach "more air." It is the real reason most trumpet players eventually quit in frustration over their sound and range.
Wow, I'm a trumpet player, and I find this even more beautiful than any other trumpet solo I've seen on youtube. You don't need to play super high to please the crowd, you just need good tone quality and a nice open sound, something I still need to work on.
I am a trumpet player too. I recommend you - please check Ludwig Güttler and Maurice André.
As a non-professional, a C trumpet was always a nightmare for me to play with correct pitch and control. This performance is on another whole level.
Pretty sure she's playing a B flat here. Her fingerings indicate that anyway.
I think this is a Bb trumpet. At least that's what the sheet music is saying.
@@johnlime1469 Her fingers say otherwise. Check the last note for the easiest example.
@@Yeargdribble yeah she’s definitely playing a C trumpet
@@CyFss She’s playing a C trumpet, the score is for Bb
I never thought a trumpet melody could be called "tender." What a lovely tone she had. :-)
Then I'm guessing you've never listened to even one Chet Baker cut?
@@Tenskwatawa4U you are correct. I lived a sheltered life. Please recommend a piece for me. 🙂
Oh yeah. All the brass has huge expression range. Single horn can sound more majestic than the whole orchestra. They go from mellow to full fire.
It's not just her tone that is lovely!
It only means that you don't know very much about music!
i've played trumpet going on 30 years now and the hardest part of this for me would be hitting that low 16th note at 1:00 with clarity. Jumping almost a full octave and getting it this clear is just crazy. Well done
My classical trumpet hero. I added a comment to her A. Marcello piccolo solo. It is not just the tone, articulation and technique. It is the absolute beauty that she brings to the trumpet experience. I have also played the trumpet for 50+ years. I could listen to her all day, something that I cannot say for any other trumpet artists. It is worth noting that the score above is in Bb, that she transposes to C. I saw on a video that she starts out her warm-up on a Bb, and then goes to her C horn, as she just feels "it plays itself!" I think I have the same horn but can't agree with that statement 🙂! And to my fellow trumpet players, note that she uses NO pressure when she plays! No telltale lip "ring" after her performance. Unbelievable, but Tine, thanks for sharing your talent!!!
Man I'm impressed she can keep that angelic tone even with higher notes, I sound like a dying bird when I try to play that g above the staff 😂 Edit: it was the mouthpiece
Me2
Literally same
Being able to imitate the sound of a bird with a tube of metal seems like talent to me.
I dunno what y'all talking bout, the g an octave up is the hard one
@@x-stylegaming2119 which g
Love seeing a good solo shown that isn’t super complicated but it’s the time she took to get an amazing vibrato, a clear tone, and a rich but bright sound.
First thing I noticed in close up was her embouchure which contributes greatly to all of the above.
Always refreshing to hear a trumpet that’s not screaming….
Lovely solo, I've been playing for only 4 years and it's quite beautiful how this girl makes the trumpet so soft and graceful sounding. Bravo
Most average trumpet players could probably play this, but only some of the best could really PLAY it. I had my doubts when I read the title, but this is truly the most beautiful trumpet solo I have ever heard.
Tine is one of the best in the world Alison Balsom is good too!
not sure average trumpet players could hit top C's, or rather definitely not keep them consistent
I think same to your opinion. But she plays very soft and relax tone without power, she is No1 classic trumpeter in the world, I think. And I hope she will be more better health.
Beautiful.
You nailed it, I heard a fantastic version of chopsticks once, my version sounded like toothpicks.
Happy to see Tine earning recognition, she's been one of Norway's top players for years. Got to do a recording with her last year and she's an all-round humble and great person in addition to her trumpet chops :)
Fantastic that you got to meet her and play too. She has some great recordings with an all female Brass Ensemble that is magnificent!
she's ok. Does she know that men cannot be lesbians??
@@richardcarroll9864 Based on your comment I can safely say she is a lot smarter than you........
@@erik_b3146 😡😡😡😡😡
@@richardcarroll9864 I don't think anybody on the earth has ever said that a man is lesbian
That’s is the sweet tone every trumpet player can appreciate. So nice to hear it clear, perfect tone, and beautiful. Well done!
Former trumpet player here - she nailed the hell out of that. Beautiful tone and control.
performing in such a glamorous setting and then having that stand for the sheet music feels like a statement
Was about to comment the same thing, I feel like they could definitely afforded a nicer stand 😅
Same. And the melody isn't even that long, I have seen her playing way longer stuff by heart
Tine broke through as a teenager here in Norway, since then she's just gone on to become even better. As noted by several other commenters, she recently recovered from cancer, so I hope we get to hear her many more years!
This song lifts people's souls! Congratulations Alisson for your beautiful interpretation.
This isn't Allison Balsom, it's Tine Thing Helseth
What impresses among her many musical attributes, is her ability to perfectly control and phrase these very tricky long lines in an overall slow tempo. Like Balsom, great technical ability allied to beautiful musicianship. Wonderful.
Wonderful.
WOW the vibrato at the c3 was incredible!!!! What a sound! amazing!
All the vibratos were outstanding. That's what I was most impressed with. Buttery smooth.
What a beautiful,clean sound. And has been said below,her vibrato is truly superb. Many thanks for sharing this with us.
Two things. 1 - I don't know the musical term for it, but those three notes at 1:06 are gorgeous. I hear them often through different instruments (a notable one is piano during Wet Hands) and it makes my heart soar everytime I hear it. 2 - 0:35, Samuel L. Jackson has entered chat.
Are you talking about the 16th-slured D and C leading into the D from the end of measure 15 to 16?
So beautiful, my dad was a trumpet player when he was young, he is now with angels, playing for eternity 🎺😢💖💖💖
My condolences on your loss.
@@TheBrooklynbodine 💙
Im so sorry for your loss ❤
@@viivv6230 thank you 💙
This is... stunning perfection. Simple melody... ish... but her tone is nothing less then angelic. It hits my core. Thank you for sharing this. The title is true!
That was sweet... played perfectly.. I've been playing trumpet since the 4th grade.. I'm 62 now.. it's not always how many tricks you know , sometimes it's how beautiful you can sound.. her tone is beautiful and that's hard to accomplish.. thank you Mrs horn player for the great music
now I'm feeling like a war winner, leaving the battlefield, cleaning up my bruises
Helseth just won a hard fought battle against cancer. Go give her some love on social media. Also look up "tine thing helseth artunian molinelli" if you want to hear one of the best trumpet performances I've ever heard.
Tine is simply an extraordinary trumpet player . . . and it's a pleasure to hear her play.
Beautifully done! Thank you!!!
I've been playing trumpet for 57 years. This was as beautiful as it gets.
This is when the trumpet can be displayed as one of the most majestic sounding instruments. Typically, the horn has the most majestic brass sound, and in a lot of settings, that would be true, but the trumpet's sound here is just unmatched. The soloist does this excerpt absolute justice as well.
I have listened to you for many years and absolutely love every performance. I repeat listening to them all!!
Of course it is beautiful. Miss Helseth is one of the most talented musicians in the world. Everything that she touches is golden.
I have to get her albums. This certainly is one of the most beautiful trumpet playing I have ever heard. I could listen to an extended version of this song all day. It sets my soul at peace.❤️
Take a look at Maurice Andre..
I am going to hear this repeatedly....what a lovely piece. So gentle, so emotional, so clear, so well performed. God bless.
De verdad que bella interpretación estoy fascinada
Wow... Lovely beyond words to describe. Surprising how so many instruments which are usually accompanying ones in a symphony orchestra or in a brass band are absloutely lovely as solo instruments... Tine's trumpet here, the cello, clarinet, concert harp, trombone, flute, and many others, when played by a master of it who plays from deep in the heart, as she obviously does here. 💖🌹
She's an amazing talented soloist, she just did her last (hopefully) round of chemo. Let's prey for a speedy recovery 🙏
She has recovered, and played her first concert in seven months just recently!
Helseth is my all time favorite trumpet player, no contest.
yes, i basically have all her performances saved. What i love about her is her humbleness and sweet nature. Proper musician.
Alison Balsom is better but its close. Of course there are others better than Balsom. I started playing Cornet 66 years ago. Beautiful melody.
Not a trumpatist, yet I played 10yrs classical piano, so I appreciate good music AND quality performance: ✨She has both! EXCEPTIONAL!✨
Beautifully executed and amazing tone quality. Awesome phrasing and musicality.
It’s nice to see Tine here, it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything from her. She has a brass dectet called “ten thing”
It’s been a while because she has been undergoing cancer treatment! Thankfully, she is recovering well, and just recently she had her first public performance since more than seven months ago (which is probably her longest break since the start of her career too).
Wow. I played a trumpet years/decades ago and I have rarely heard such a good tone and control. Amazing. I am glad I stumbled across this video. Bravo.
It proves the rule a simple melody expressed with feeling and talent moves the soul. Played in brass band for 50 years .These are instruments with soul when played like that. Lloyd nz.
Control and feeling! Such exquisite breath control! Verbrato just butterfly gentle! No rushing but also no drag! Timing lovely!
I find myself listening to this every evening for past few days. This is indeed a very beautiful solo.
her vibrato is so clean, damn
Beautiful...clean...colorful well played. Thank you young lady.

Браво! Напомнила мне мою игру на такой же трубе фирмы Вентклян, точно не помню. Прошло почти 40 лет как не играю на трубе. Но пальцы помнят некоторые эпизоды из партии трубы. В армии была команда музыкантов, скрасившая мою службу в СА. Спасибо.
There's something that gets me with these high strong notes without the "brassy" sound, it sounds so angelic.
What the heck?! I haven't watched her stuff in years. Then yesterday I watched this and a couple others. Now you post this? That timing is crazy!
Grew up playing a trumpet fro 5yrs old through 17yrs old daily..hmph..long time ago.. I'm 64 now. Music is the glue that brings all mathematics together..from the understanding of tone, vibration harmonics, chromatic understanding and connection.
I love recording technology. But it has become the means by which so many people consume music today that I think perhaps a majority of people don’t really realise or think much on how music is really generated. I hope many people see this video and understand something of what it takes for a human blowing a stream of concentrated air through a twisted tube of zinc and copper to capture the depth of a human soul. It’s almost magical. Magic that obeys the laws of physics of course.
Aaah Madame Tina. One of the greatest trumpet talents in classical music! Massive chop envy!
Truly, truly outstanding. I very much enjoyed your guest appearance at the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth a few years ago. I'm going to download this video and the score and learn to play it. It's truly beautiful and within my capability. Thanks for posting. PLEASE post more.
This is a straightforward and beautiful piece of music that brings out the soul of the trumpet. Any trumpeter can play it precisely, but only a few can play it like this outstanding trumpeter did.
Wonderful clear notes, beautiful vibrato; she got everything out of this simple but difficult piece. Some of the best trumpet music Ive heard in a long time. Thanks
As an old ex -Trumpet player, this lady absolutely nailed it! Perfection!. Loved the video with the score underneath, so you could follow. Great job !
Same here!
The tone and quality of a master -- instead of the blaring of the merely competent. I had two friends in high school who practiced three hours a day -- and they came close to this level. Those of us putting in 20 minutes could play in a band but never pull this kind of performance off.
can't argue with the title. Flawless.
Maravillosa!!!
I'm convinced Tine Thing Helseth is actually an angel descended to grace us with her tone
Beautiful job young lady!!! Music is one talent you will use a lifetime. I’m 56 and playing in our church orchestra. It’s taking me awhile to get my lips and range halfway decent. You have a beautiful tone and control. 🎺🎺😊
Hello 👋 Kimberly. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where you are fine? You seem like a real country girl
I've never heard a trumpet played so smoothly. Incredible.
I've seen this performance many times and love it. But I have never succeeded in reading sheet music. It is thrilling to follow the score while hearing the music just now. Thank you for providing this.
I have played trumpet for 35 years. 1st chair 4 years in high school. No way I can sound like that! Soo beautiful! Also if I can hit those high notes my face is all scrunched up, she just puts it out there like she is whispering to a friend. WOW
Beautifully played. Those high C's aren't easy. You have to be pretty tight lipped, and she played it brilliantly and effortlessly.
Everything about this presentation reminds me of the human potential.. Bravo to the composer. Brava to the performer. I will listen to this many more times in the coming years.
Beautiful !!!
this is the most beautiful trumpet solo i have ever heard. thank you.
She's played that so graciously it looked as if it were effectless to her. Amazing.
damn, she plays with such an ease
Right? She makes it look so effortless. my whole face would be on fire.
As a principal cornet player many years ago, I wish I could have played as beautifully as this ❤
It is very difficult to play long lines with such beauty and musicality. WELL DONE! Thank you from Canada.
Beautiful melody. Also, this is the most beautiful vibrato I think I've EVER heard on a trumpet, so sweetly subtle and fluid; incredible control.
Agreed, very well done! Perfect for the range of the trumpet, which doesn't always get the recognition the instrument deserves.
Give us more of your music performance !!! Thanks!!!!
Precioso la melodía y la solista
Thank you George! You can't imagine how many great pieces you made me discover and how good it feels to me!
I love tine thing helseth so much her tone is so smooth and her phrasing has so much authenticity
That was wonderful. Phil Driscoll's solo in "The Name Above All Names" (by Chuck Girard) is by far the most inspiring, powerful, and talented trumpet solo ever IMHO. During Perastroyka, my brother and I took Bibles into Russia, taking the Trans-Siberian Railroad across Russia and back. We became friends with the staff and they played our music on the train! Rolling through Siberia, Phil Driscoll's solo filled the train with music almost out of this world.
music is humankind's finest accomplishment.......
I'll never get tired of hearing this melody over and over again❤
Really beautiful indeed. As I walked out the door going to Nursing school, age 17, my father took my cornet from me stating, " you'll never study". I've never forgiven him for taking away my music.
I can sympathize with you Carole. I graduated from High School at 17 in 1963. I was offered a full-ride scholarship to Juilliard School of Music on Tuba/brass and had played in a symphony orchestra as principal tubist for my entire Senior year in addition to attending High School. My parents forbade me to take the scholarship and relegated me to the Ohio State extension school at night. No music. One year of night school and I ended up in the military as a Hospital Corpsman. Now, like you, I am an RN, and have been for 48 years. I harbored a hate for my parents over the loss of my music for well over 50 years. Don't be like me, because it eats into your soul. Let go and forgive them. Then buy a cornet or trumpet and start playing again. At age 77, I am now playing both Tuba and Trumpet and enjoying musical life. It is never too late to start again, and easier than you might think.
When brass is done right, It can be some of the most beautiful music in the world. Truly a treat for ones ear.
❤una verdadera belleza de interpretación!❤❤ Joven talentosa y exquisita ejecución 🎉🎉
Never heard this played before, absolutely beautiful. Can't imagine it could be played any better.!
Her right leaning technique is kind of unique. I notice she, Helseth, has this right lean in all of her videos.
I’ve seen a fair amount of trumpets in orchestras do that, must be an ergonomics thing
You mean the trumpet slightly inclined to the side? If that's it, it's because it's easier to finger the pistons straightly because if you push them down and slightly to the side, they get stuck and scratched. For me, it's easier to adjust the embrouchure, arms and fingers to play with proper posture and technique
Nobody is instructed to hold the trumpet vertically, it is always smoother at an angle to accomodate the mechanics of the fingers. That said many players have their own style to deal with that, it's kinda organic/personal in the end. But smooth valve action is aided by straight pushing with no side force.
@@gertnood I was Instructed way back in the 70s to hold it completely vertical. My 6th grade music teacher was not a nice person.
And it takes an absolute artist - somebody who has more than the ability to play an instrument - somebody who is able to use an instrument and create "a sound" that fills the entire concert hall with waves of harmonic sounds that carry the audience away - on a journey - detached from reality -
I can listen to this all day.
