Alex,
I can only endorse Bill Melton's fabulous gigbook. It's got a bit of
everything.
However! Visit my website, www.brasshausmusic.com and have a look at my two
quartet books. The six miniatures starts with a Berlioz type funeral march
and finishes with, literally, a hunting scene that gives the performers
ample opportunity for entertaining - offstage horn calls etc.
Also, the book of encores for horn quartet (to be reviewed by Bob Ashworth
in the next issue of 'The Horn Player') gives you two Sousa Marches, a
Neopolitan song, a specifically American piece, 'Sweet Lavender' by Edward
MacDowell and a Bavarian whoop up with handstopping and quasi glissandi.
Invest and enjoy.

Hello all,
I am a high school senior who just formed a horn quartet with my friends.
We are a fairly good group and we enjoy playing together but now we are
looking for some quality quartet music to play. Does anyone have
recommendations for good quality horn quartets/horn quartet books? We're
hoping to eventually have enough material to play some gigs (I am in the
quartet for the enjoyment of it, but others became serious with the
potential to make money).
More specifically, does anyone know of a quartet arrangement for John
Williams/Star Wars music? (one of our members is a passionate Star Wars
fan and we've been looking all over for any sort of quartet arrangement
with the thought that we could transpose a string quartet, etc. if
necessary).
Thanks for your advice,
Alex Reece
