The warm, full-sounding basset horn covers the alto/tenor registers in the clarinet family and was one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s favored instruments. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of Vienna’s second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all common articulations.
Kinky. Like the clarinet, the basset horn has a single reed and a cylindrical bore, but it is easily recognized by the conspicuous bend or kink between the mouthpiece and upper joint. It is typically in F and has additional keys for an extended lower range.
No Relation. Being a clarinet, the basset horn is of course not related to the horn or other brass instruments. Mozart composed a number of pieces, e.g., his Masonic Funeral Music and the Gran Partita, and also used them in several of his operas.
Sampling. The library features a full set of articulations, offering various short and long notes, legato (including fast legatos that let you play trills), crescendos and diminuendos, sfz, sffz, pfp, flutter tongue, and repetitions. Recording the samples relatively dry at the Silent Stage makes it possible to place them on your virtual stage and in the stereo field wherever you like, but also enables you to integrate them with the Synchron Series by using the internal convolution reverb of Vienna Synchron Stage.
