Piece Description

An exciting original jazz show piece to demonstrate the horns agility and get horn players in the groove! It was written for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's horn section to play at Glyndebourne parties in the early 1960's.

Review: "Don't confuse this with the Charlie Parker bebop tune Ornithology, because this one is more in the beguine style. Again, Woods requires a strong top end for the first player along with a good command of rapid scale patterns in B flat for everybody. The Woods compositions together would make a very attractive set for your next quartet programme." – The Horn Call May 1995

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.
