brass. Wind and brass instruments may be combined by the method of placing a chord in one timbre side by side with the same chord in another timbre, or by any of the three methods already described: overlaying, crossing and enclosure of parts. 1. _In unison (juxtaposition or contrast of tone qualities)._ This class of combination possesses the same features as combinations in the melodic line (cf. Chap. II). Wood-wind reinforces the brass, softens it and reduces its characteristic qualities. Arrangements such as the following are possible: 2 Trumpets + 2 Fl.; 2 Trumpets + 2 Ob.; 2 Trumpets + 2 Cl. 3 Trumpets + 3 Fl.; 3 Trumpets + 3 Ob.; 3 Trumpets + 3 Cl. Also [Music] etc. as well as: 2 Horns + 2 Fag.; 2 Horns + 2 Cl.; 3 Horns + 3 Fag.; 3 Horns + 3 Cl.; and: 2 Horns + 2 Fag. + 2 Cl. etc. The combinations 3 Trombones + 3 Fag., or 3 Trombones + 3 Cl. are very rare. A chord scored for full brass doubled by the same chords scored for full wood-wind (in pairs) produces a magnificent and uniform tone. _Examples:_ _Snegourotchka_ [[315]]--2 Horns + 2 Cl. and 2 Horns + 2 Ob. (cf. Ex. 236). No. 141. _The Tsar's Bride_ [[50]]--4 Horns + 2 Cl., 2 Fag. No. 142. " " " [[142]]--Juxtaposition of full wind and brass. _Ivan the Terrible_, Act II [[30]]--Juxtaposition and enclosure (cf. Table of chords II, Ex. 8). No. 143. _The Christmas Night_ [[165]]--4 Horns + Fl., Cl., Fag. * No. 144. _Sadko_, before [[79]]--Horn, Trumpet + doubled wood-wind.[15] No. 145. " [[242]]--Full brass + Fl., Cl. [Footnote 15: In the full score a misprint occurs in the clarinet part; it is corrected in the example. (Editor's note.)] _Legend of Kitesh_, beginning--Horn, Trombones + Cl., Fag. (cf. also [[5]]--Ex. 249). * No. 146. _Legend of Kitesh_ [[10]]--Eng. horn, 2 Cl., Fag. _legato_ + 4 Horns non legato. " " " [[324]]--Full brass + wind. * No. 147. _The Golden Cockerel_ [[233]]--Trumpets + Ob./Horn + Cl.] 8. Stopped or muted notes in trumpets and horns resemble the oboe and Eng. horn in quality; the combination of these instruments produces a magnificent tone. _Examples:_ No. 148. _Russian Easter Fete_, p. 11.--Horn (+), Trumpets (low register) + Ob., Cl. * _The Christmas Night_, before [[154]]--Full muted brass + wind. * No. 149. _Tsar Saltan_ [[129]]--2 Ob., Eng. horn, + 3 Trumpet
