扩大了号角的范围
作为CineBrass Core和Pro的完美合作伙伴，CineBrass Descant Horn扩大了Horn部分的范围。专业号角演奏者经常拔出该乐器来获得更细腻的高音，这对于单飞的人非常有用。像CineBrass Core和Pro一样，CineBrass Descant Horn是在洛杉矶索尼影业公司（Sony Pictures Studios）的传奇米高梅（MGM）计分舞台上录制的。
什么是后裔号角？
后裔号角和法国号角具有相似的结构。后裔号角没有普通号角的低F侧，但确实有高号F侧。具体来说，电子管只有6英尺长，而不是标准圆号的12英尺长。因此，谐波序列在标准号筒上的正常F2上方偏移了一个八度音程。
后裔号角和法国号号之间的距离差异是多少？
喇叭的范围基本相同，尽管您可以将Descant喇叭扩展到A或Ab，而不是在常规喇叭上停在F处。因此，尽管后裔的喇叭不一定会走得更高，但较高的寄存器的音色会被八度偏移，从而使较高的寄存器具有更大的灵活性。
（最大范围可能因播放器和乐器而异）
这个后裔号角有什么独特之处？
我们采样的号角是一个双孔Bb / HighF。因此，在Bb侧的孔到F之间的移动在声音上是无缝的。我们采样的Descant喇叭和其他单孔Descant喇叭之间的尺寸差异很大，这是双孔的原因。它还可以使表演者在两侧之间切换时提高敏捷性。
因此，单孔Descant Horn从中等C左右的声音听起来不如双孔。即使是中级C到中级C之上的高C，也听起来会更浅，并且不会具有双孔Descant Horn的丰富王室声音。
与圆号相比，Descant Horn的声音如何？
在常规号角上，上风向更加尖锐，而在后裔号角上，上向风听起来更轻松，更轻。一个类比是普通小号和短笛小号之间的比较。由于两种乐器的范围基本相同，因此最大的区别在于高位寄存器。短笛小号的声音比传统小号的声音小。
而且，Descant号角不会变得很深-与法国号的Low F相比，它要浅些和细腻一些。但理想情况下，您不会将Descant Horn用作其低位音调，因为那并不是它的最佳选择。
Descant Horn对玩家有什么好处？
当通道过高并且需要柔软细腻时，演奏者可以切换到后裔号角，以便更轻松地达到这些音高，而不必用力敲打。从玩家的角度来看，它使上排通道更加容易演奏和更加准确。
Descant Horn对作曲家有何优势？
作曲家可以在Descant Horn的高位寄存器中获得更大的精致度和准确性。当然，如果作曲家正在寻找超强劲的高配准音色，那将更适合普通的圆号。但是对于精致的独奏，尤其是在弦乐和木管乐器上，使用降音号角非常有用。
Expanded range for the Horn
A perfect partner to CineBrass Core and Pro, CineBrass Descant Horn expands the range of the Horn section. Pro horn players often pull out this instrument for delicate higher passages and it’s great for soaring solos. Like CineBrass Core and Pro, CineBrass Descant Horn was recorded at the legendary MGM Scoring Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.
What is the Descant Horn?
The Descant Horn and French Horn have a similar structure. The Descant Horn does not have the low F side of a regular horn, but it does have the high F side. Specifically, the tubes are only 6 feet long rather than 12 feet long as on a standard French horn. So, the harmonic series is offset by an octave above the normal F2 on a standard horn.
What is the range difference between the Descant Horn and French Horn?
The ranges of the horns are basically the same, although you can extend the Descant Horn to an A or Ab rather than stopping at an F on a regular horn. So, although the Descant Horn doesn’t necessarily go higher, the timbre of the higher register is offset by an octave allowing more agility in the upper register.
(Extreme ranges can differ depending on player and instrument)
What is unique about this Descant Horn?
The horn we sampled is a dual-bore Bb/High F. Therefore, moving between the bore for the Bb side to the high F is sonically seamless. The difference in size between the Descant Horn we sampled and other single bore Descant Horns is substantial, accounting for the double bore. It also allows the performer increased agility while switching between the sides.
For this reason, a single-bore Descant Horn doesn’t sound as good as a double-bore from about middle C down. Even middle C to a high C above middle C would sound more shallow and it wouldn’t have the rich royal sound of the dual-bore Descant Horn.
How does the Descant Horn sound compared to a French Horn?
The upper register is more strident on a regular horn, whereas the upper register sounds easier and lighter on the Descant Horn. An analogy would be the comparison between a regular trumpet vs. a piccolo trumpet. Since the two instruments have basically the same range, the biggest difference is in the upper register. The piccolo trumpet has a less strident sound than a traditional trumpet.
Also, the Descant Horn is not going to be quite as deep – it’s a little more shallow and delicate compared to the Low F of a French horn. But ideally, you wouldn’t use a Descant Horn for its lower register since that’s not its sweet spot.
What is the advantage of the Descant Horn for the player?
When a passage is too high and required to be soft and delicate, the player can switch to the Descant Horn in order to reach those pitches more easily without having to pound so hard. From a player’s perspective, it makes upper register passages much easier to play and much more accurate.
What is the advantage of the Descant Horn for the composer?
Composers can achieve a greater amount of delicacy and accuracy in the upper register of the Descant Horn. Of course, if a composer is looking for a super powerful high register sound, that would be better suited for a regular French horn. But for delicate solos, especially over strings and woodwinds, using the descant horn is very useful.
