==Use and performances== [[File:Short_flugelhorn_excerpt.ogg|thumb|Flugelhorn excerpt]] [[File:Trumpet_playing_short_excerpt_for_comparison_with_flugelhorn.ogg|thumb|B♭ trumpet playing the same excerpt as above]] The flugelhorn is a standard member of the [[British brass band|British-style brass band]], and it is also used frequently in [[jazz]]. It also appears occasionally in [[orchestra]]l and [[concert band]] music. Famous orchestral works with flugelhorn include [[Igor Stravinsky]]'s ''[[Threni (Stravinsky)|Threni]]'',<ref>{{cite web |title=Stravinsky: Threni {{!}} News {{!}} The Harvard Crimson |url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1960/1/13/stravinsky-threni-pcolumbia-symphony-orchestra-schola/ |website=www.thecrimson.com |access-date=25 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref> [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]]'s [[Symphony No. 9 (Vaughan Williams)|Ninth Symphony]],<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stumpf II |first1=Robert |title=Classical Net Review - Maestrino - Stokowski Conducts New Music |url=http://www.classical.net/music/recs/reviews/c/cal00539a.php |website=Classical Net |access-date=25 October 2019}}</ref> and [[Michael Tippett]]'s third symphony.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Clements |first1=Andrew |title=Tippett: Symphonies Nos 3 & 4; Symphony in B flat review {{!}} Andrew Clements's classical CD of the week |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/28/tippett-symphonies-nos-3-4-symphony-in-b-flat-review-crisp-sinewy-revival |website=The Guardian |access-date=25 October 2019 |date=28 February 2019}}</ref> The flugelhorn is sometimes substituted for the [[post horn]] in [[Gustav Mahler|Mahler's]] [[Symphony No. 3 (Mahler)|Third Symphony]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Symphony No.3 (Mahler, Gustav) - IMSLP: Free Sheet Music PDF Download |url=https://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.3_(Mahler,_Gustav) |website=imslp.org |access-date=25 October 2019}}</ref> and for the soprano Roman [[Buccina|buccine]] in [[Ottorino Respighi]]'s ''[[Pines of Rome]]''. In [[Heinz Karl Gruber|HK Gruber]]'s trumpet concerto ''Busking'' (2007) the soloist is directed to play a flugelhorn in the slow middle movement.<ref>{{cite web |title=BIS Records - HK Gruber - Busking |url=https://bis.se/composer/gruber-hk-heinz-karl/hk-gruber-busking |website=bis.se |access-date=25 October 2019 |archive-date=27 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127163800/https://bis.se/composer/gruber-hk-heinz-karl/hk-gruber-busking |url-status=dead }}</ref> The flugelhorn figured prominently in many of [[Burt Bacharach]]'s 1960s [[Pop music|pop]] song arrangements. It is featured in a solo role in [[Bert Kaempfert]]'s 1962 recording of "That Happy Feeling". Flugelhorns have occasionally been used as the alto or low soprano voice in a [[drum and bugle corps (modern)|drum and bugle corps]]. Another use of the flugelhorn is found in the Dutch and Belgian "''Fanfareorkesten''" or [[fanfare orchestra]]s. In these orchestras the flugelhorns, often between 10 and 20 in number, have a significant role, forming the base of the orchestra. They are pitched in B♭, with sporadically an E♭ soloist. Due to poor intonation, these E♭ flugelhorns are mostly replaced by the E♭ trumpet or cornet. The 1996 film ''[[Brassed Off]]'' features a flugelhorn performance of [[Joaquín Rodrigo|Rodrigo's]] [[Concierto de Aranjuez]], Adagio, as a key moment.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Watkins |first1=Jack |title=How we made Brassed Off |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/apr/24/how-we-made-brassed-off-tara-fitzgerald-stephen-tompkinson-interview |website=The Guardian |access-date=25 October 2019 |date=24 April 2017}}</ref> The solo is played by Paul Hughes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Brassed Off (1996) - IMDb |website=[[IMDb]] |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115744/soundtrack |access-date=25 October 2019}}</ref>
