The name “brass” historically derives from the stuff which was used in making these instruments. But nowadays copper and silver are also used in their making. In the Middle Ages people made the same musical instruments applying basically timber because many people weren't able to make it of brass. Contemporary brass instruments consist of French horn, tuba, cornet, trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn.
The very first people have already invented a technique of playing horns and shells. Diverse variants of instruments appeared when people began to make them of metal. Usually such musical instruments were used during hostilities, hunting or had some divine purposes.
Today's brass instruments came from hunting bugles, military horns and postal clarions. Valve mechanism wasn't created at that time and those instruments might play only natural scale. A musician changed the timber of sound only with the help of his lips. At that time also fanfares and other sounds of hunting and military purposes appeared. People began to use these sounds in musical practice because of their natural scale.
The tubes of different sizes and forms appeared with the development of metal working that made possible the producing of brass instruments. Also people created the name of natural instruments. It occurred owing to the progress of brass instruments and the improvement of different natural scales playing. Natural scale was the foundation scale of those musical instruments because at that time people didn't invent valve gear yet. Brotherhoods of trumpeters appeared at those times. At that time 2 brotherhoods of pipers existed: martial pipers who sounded martial hymns and chambers trumpeters that played in castles.
People made valve mechanism only at the beginning of the XIX century. It strictly changed the art of performance and heightened the possibility of brass instruments. The point of that gear was in adding the crown in the main tube. It changed the form of instruments and the pitch was lowered.
Nowadays brass instruments are added to one of the main parts of instruments in symphony orchestras. In wind ensembles they are the main section of it. Nowadays you can look for a lot of solo literature for natural and valve brass instruments. Also in chamber ensembles sometimes French horn is used but other types of brass instruments are applied much more rarely. We propose you used French horns. Trumpets and trombones are the main musical instruments in jazz style.
