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.
These fine miniatures for horn quartet are the first of two sets intended as a way of providing the young horn student with the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the quartet sound and experience. Traditional harmony prevails, providing the musicians with the opportunity to hear and work at sectional balance and part discipline. These quartets are a lighter addition to the Fripperies. For the intermediate student.
This instantly recognisable piece lends itself well to this arrangement for horn quartet by Alan Civil.
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.
