Re: [Hornlist] Unusual Horn
Paul has sent me some photos, and my initial suspicions were fully confirmed. Aside from one-off creations for disabled horn players right-handed horns always are military horns from two European countries: Italy made them with pistons. I own a such single F made by Saporetti & Capelli of Firenze Pre-WWII Germany made them as 3-rotors single Bb flat horns. Miraphone has had such a model in its catalogues within the last 20 years. The purpose was, that when bands were formed from enlisted amateur musicians, "surplus" trumpeters could be placed on horn. The unusual thing about Pauls horn is, that it is a compensating double, not just a single Bb. But the true give away about its origins are the crowns stamped into the bell. I am not enough of a heraldic to tell whether they are the Imperial German or the royal Saxonian crown. But this instrument for sure has been made for a German army regiment before the end of WWI. I am fairly sure that the maker was Sächsische Musikinstrumentenmanufaktur - Schuster & Co of Markneukirchen. This is the only maker, whom I have seen having these state approval stamps placed on his instruments. For the true freaks it is obvious, that the profile of the bell as well as some other details are remarkably similar to some Hoyer horns of today. I may elaborate on that on another day. If somebody finds my English worse than usually: I have been virtually blind some weeks ago due to a medicine allergy. I can read again, but I have had to give away a secret kept for 54 years. I am a dyslectic. Proofreading is really difficult, but I am doing my best for the time being. Klaus > > --- Corenut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi - long time since I was seen loitering here.

Re: [Hornlist] O Maria mundi Domina for Alto, horn and organ
John Schreckengost schreef: A singer gave me a copy of a work for alto, horn in E-flat and organ several years ago that has no information other than "Copyright 1987 by Karl Heinrich Moseler Verlag, Wolfenbuttel und Zurich." I would like to find more information, and hopefully, purchase the music, particularly since a voice faculty member at Valparaiso University would like to perform the work and neither of us wants to violate copyright law. The horn part is fluid and high (typical of Baroque and early classic music) and the text is as follows: O Maria, o Maria, mundi Domina, coeli Regina tolle neces, audi preces, quas fundimus. Te amantes, te precantes, suspirantes pie semper protege. Can anyone direct me to what the piece is and where I can buy it, particularly since an internet search with the limited information I have has been unproductive. Thanks!

In German (and other languages) the two dots (Umlaut) on some vowels are essential to the meaning of the word. If you can't reproduce them, you have to put an E behind the vowel in question. Not doing so will change the vowel, and often the meaning of the word. So, next time search for *Moeseler*.

[Hornlist] Quartets for 2 flutes & 2 horns
Hello Fellow Hornists, For those interested, I've added two new horn works to my catalog. Both are classical period wind quartets for the rather unusual pairing of 2 flutes and 2 horns one by J.G. Abeltshauser (fl. 1810s) the other by W.A. Lütgen (fl. 1840s). The horn parts are in D but not to difficult for a good amateur player. To find out more about these delightful pieces or to see my complete catalog, please visit my website. Happy playing, Marc Cerri www.mjcerri.com ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
