Brassman Bart: Bell Cow Novelty March, by George Rosenkrans


 "Hello! The month of June is National Dairy month, so this is dedicated to anyone who has ever milked a cow. This week's number is The Bell Cow Novelty March, written by George Rosenkrans, originally published in 1914. Listen and you will know why it is called a novelty march, as it uses some unusual instrumentation. Many of the parts were performed on my vintage 1912 York euphonium; those parts are solo cornet, cornet 1,2, and 3; trombone 1,2, and 3, and the euphonium part. Tuba part was played on my Eb tuba, and percussion was performed using tambourine, cowbell, cymbal, and a steel bucket. If you have ever milked a cow, you will know the significance of the steel bucket. All parts were performed by me. Hope this makes you smile. Please like, please share, and please subscribe to my channel, Brassman Bart.

Thank you very much. Brassman Bart"
