Horn Quartet with Double Bass or Tuba
Written for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's horn section to play at Glyndebourne parties in the early 1960's. In the early 1960's almost all English hornists played on Alexander horns, hence the title. It was composed when Beethoven's Fidelio was being performed at Glyndebourne. One famous aria in this opera features the horns, and near the end they play individual scale run ups in canon, and so for fun the composer has incorporated this in the piece.

Brass Quintet
The Swan is the most famous movement from The Carnival of the Animals, usually represented by the 'cello which emulates the swan elegantly gliding over the water with only its reflection for company. In this arrangement for brass quintet it is the trombone with its lush tenor sound, that should be played in the style of Tommy Dorsey, that gives the swan its grace. The other instruments accompany the trombone with rolling chords which represent the feet of the swan hidden beneath the water propelling it along. This powerful melody will leave your hair standing up and a tear in your eye.

Recorder Quartet
Ronald Read – One Octave Polka (Recorder Quartet) – Digital Download
This work was originally written for ocarinas, and in consequence each part is restricted to a range of just one octave, hence the title. It is a lively little polka in which the melody is continually being passed from one to the other of the upper parts. A fun piece that is reminiscent of a fairground organ.
