The Evolution and Intersection of Classical and Popular Music

Vinnie Cielseski pt. 3

“Trumpet Vinnie”, see his website, explores how classical music, once popular in its own era, parallels today’s popular music.

The conversation covers the relevance of composers like Mozart, Wagner, and Mahler to their contemporary societies and predicts future recognition of artists such as John Williams and The Beatles as classical music icons.

The discussion also addresses the interplay between classical and popular music education, the role of orchestras in film music, and the importance of adaptability in music careers.

Personal anecdotes highlight the continuity and mutual influence of classical and modern music traditions.

Brass Mastery
Mastery is within reach.
Will you go for it?
My name is James Newcomb, and allow me to share with you my vision for this website and podcast.
Brass Mastery is here to provide you the knowledge, tools and inspiration to achieve greatness on your brass instrument.
What is mastery anyway?
We all have various talent levels, backgrounds, aspirations as brass instrumentalists.
So it's hard to say what "mastery" really looks like.
It varies from person to person, doesn't it?
One way to think of it is "being in control".
You've mastered your nerves, the audience is eating from the palm of your hand. You feel completely comfortable in your own skin....
Playing the music that "plays you" as the saying goes.
That's just one way of thinking of it.
This website and podcast will dive deep into what "mastery" truly is when it comes to brass instruments.
Ambiguous?
Perhaps.
Attainable?
Absolutely.
This is no high-minded fool's errand. It's a lifelong journey to mastery.
Will you join me?
