Supplied with both Horn in F and Tenor Horn in E Flat parts. Written for the composers daughter Serenade has a very attractive melody shared between the horn and piano that is characterized with eighth and sixteenth note rhythms. The accompaniment provides a rich sonority with harp like broken chords, requiring sensitive playing from the horn melody floating above. A fine concert piece for the young horn player.

Anthony Randall – March (Horn in F or Tenor Horn in E Flat & Piano)

£6.95

Supplied with both Horn in F and Tenor Horn in E Flat parts, this lively piece in 6/8 is rhythmically challenging for the intermediate horn player. It requires good finger technique and clean tonguing. There are some unexpected entries, lots of accents and sforzandi and, like Serenade by the same composer, much use is made of the second and third valves. The accompanist is equally rewarded with some interesting music to play. This was a London College of Music grade 5 exam piece for Horn in F between 1994 and 2006.

Richard Kershaw – Night Ride (Horn & Piano)

£6.95

A brilliant concert piece for a relatively experienced horn player, and one that would make an ideal finale to any recital. A short, suspenseful slow introduction leads straight into the main movement, which is an exciting gallop for both players. The fast tempo aside the range is comfortable and there are no major technical problems for the soloist.  This work was an Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Grade 6 Exam Piece between 2013 and 2022.
