The old "Green Books" published originally by Hofmeister are indeed the ones Thomas Bacon has enlarged and edited for Southern Music. I believe the title is 86 German Quartets.
Other material that may prove useful: Quartet Concert and Contest Collection (Rubank) -many easy and interesting quartets. 4th horn in treble clef. Six Quartets - F. Schubert/V. Reynolds (Southern Music) Six Quartets - R. Schumann/V. Reynolds (Southern Music) Fair Play Vol. 1, 2, 3 - E. Gogolack (Hornists Nest) The Reynolds transcriptions are very accessible and function very well for players of moderate ability and beyond. The Fair Play volumes are absolutely delightful. Ed Gogolack has a very creative way of scoring for the ensemble where the bass part and melody is scattered throughout all parts. Unlike many quartets, these are indeed four parts of equal importance and difficulty. If you are not familiar with his 4 Polish Carols and 4 French Carols, these are absolutely wonderful. The way he scores for the ensemble makes for enjoyable playing and listening. These quartet books should be in any hornist's library. These are really fun. In addition, you may be interested in some of the titles published by Broadbent and Dunn. John Wood has arranged some very clever arrangements for 4 horns and rhythm section. The arrangements are pricey, being British publications, but are really worth it to have in your library. Happy Holiday Horning!
