$10.00Wachet auf, ruft unsdie Stimme is one of the best know Chorale Preludes of J. S. Bach. The beauty of the work comes not only from its beautiful florid melodic writing, but also from its overall simplicity. Most of the time it is simply two-voice counterpoint; it is only at the entrance of the Chorale melody that it becomes three-voice writing. It is offered here as a special treat for hornists and can be played as a Horn Trio or with a Horn Choir. Learn More -

Harold Kafer's settings of these poems use the beauty and expressive qualities of each - the soprano, oboe, horn, and piano - breathing life into these texts. Learn More -

These songs of Cui are part of a series of arrangements for a wide group of hornists-from developing players looking for a work for a festival performance-to the professional hornist searching for a lyrical character piece for a recital. This set includes works by Beach, Cui, and Humperdinck. These arrangements are of moderate technical difficulty, and the songs by Cui are meant to be the second in progressive difficulty of this series. For the novice horn player, these Songs provide the opportunity to expand both the pitch and expressive range, as well as to develop the hornist’s ability to coordinate with the pianist. Learn More -

Battle Axe emphasizes large leaps (7ths and 9ths), often slurred, as well as ascending sixteenth-note patterns following the octatonic scale. The Bug and the Blue Light is an expressive journey through many different keys (all lydian), with slurred, disjunct melody lines that cover a large range. Vertigo Skipping, explores the alternation between 6/8 and 5/8 ideas, as well as slurs from beat to beat, with the ascending major 9th appearing prominently.

The songs of Grieg are part of a series of arrangements for a wide group of hornists-from developing players looking for a work for a festival performance-to the professional hornist searching for a lyrical character piece for a recital. This set also includes works by Beach, Cui, and Humperdinck. These arrangements are of moderate technical difficulty and are meant to test numerous aspects of horn playing outside of high playing. These songs by Grieg are the simplest in difficulty of this set of arrangements. Grieg's Children's songs were picked to teach a student how to approach playing with a pianist. Not only is the horn melody always doubled in the piano, but the arrangements are also meant to be simple collaborations. The range of each piece keeps to a middle-low register so that any student, almost regardless of time put into the instrument, could begin working on one of the movements. The keys are simple, whether in sharp or flat keys. Grade: 2-3 Learn More -

Sights and Sounds of the Symposium was composed for Robert Palmer and Vanessa Montelongo on the occasion of the 52nd International Horn Symposium. The first movement, The Bell Tower at Sunrise, is an ever-developing set of variations over an ever-developing repeated thematic motive. A Rondo for the Morning Run, the second movement, is based on the Rondo from the Quartet for Four Horns by Randall Faust and uses the pitch pattern: sol-do-re-sol.

$10.95Written for Ricardo Matosinhos and premiered at the 55th International Horn Symposium, Kingsville, Texas, USA in 2022. SEQUENCES for Horn Solo—by Kazimierz Machala is a virtuoso composition that challenges the hornist and the listener to think beyond the theoretical definition of the term sequence (the repetition of a melodic or harmonic idea at a different tonal level). Throughout the four pages of this composition, he does not merely repeat the melodic ideas, but continually transforms them. As a result, Dr. Machala demonstrates the concepts of melodic development at the highest level. Learn More -

COMPOSED FOR ANDREW BAIN One of the highlights of the summer of 2020 was the opportunity to participate in a series of internet-based Warm-Up Classes presented by Andrew Bain-Principal Hornist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and co-hosted by Rupal Bain-of their INVESTED MUSICIAN program. Impressed by Andrew's regular presentation of horn studies in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, I was inspired to write this piece by the fact that he candidly discussed some of his own personal technical challenges in playing the horn. This Scherzo is dedicated to Andrew Bain, his ongoing artistry, inspiration, and good humor.
