Many of Schubert's Lieder are technically easy, but wonderful and
inspiring music. The first volume of the Peters Edition has the three
great cycles plus many of the best known Lieder.

We sort of do though, but we have to snitch. As I like to mention
here from time to time - thanks, Sandra, for the excuse - there is a
large repertoire of great music by composers of the First Table that
hornists can play, but which was not composed for us. There are
already available to us lots of arrangements of classical pieces,
but why wait for someone to publish an arrangement?
The Mozart bass-baritone aria collection is just one of many usable
vocal books. Aside from solo opportunities like these, there are
violin duet books, and my favorite, trio sonatas, where the horn can
often play the 2nd melody line, and sometimes also the 1st, making
some of these pieces into concertos for two horns and bass (bass
could be piano and/or bassoon or cello - or a low horn!). These
kinds of pieces connect us to Vivaldi, Telemann, Stamitz, Handel,
Pezel, Quantz, Tartini, Loeillet, various Bachs, ...
All you have to do is transpose to C.
