[Hornlist] Christ The Lord for Brass Quintet
I would like to invite you to examine my most recent work for brass quintet, “Chorale Prelude on Christ, The Lord, Has Risen Today”. This Chorale Prelude is in the form of a fantasia as it uses phrases from this hymn interspersed with a lot of free material. It can serve as either a prelude or postlude. The tuba uses a syncopated eighth note rhythm during the sustained notes at the beginning. This pattern then dominates the last third of the piece and it evokes visions of Widor's Toccata. The duration is 3' and the difficulty level is moderate. You can sample this work and my other compositions and arrangements by visiting http://cooppress.hostrack.net and clicking on “brass ensemble music”. Thank you for considering my music.

[Hornlist] New horn piece
Here's a lovely little bit in today's Seattle Times' Art section about a newly commissioned piece. It features Samuel Jones, John Cerminaro, the Seattle Commissioning Club, and our favorite instrument. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thearts/2004169891_horn100.html or, if a shorter link is more to your liking: *http://tinyurl.com/2xta8q Enjoy!

[Hornlist] Mozart Horn Duets - transcribed for trumpet and horn, and using baritone clef
OK, here's my situation: 1. I don't know the Mozart horn duets in their original form. I heard them once in a concert but I've never played them. 2. I bought a transcription, edited by C. J. Maxwell and published by Pelican Music, of these same duets, for trumpet and horn. Perfect for me and my son - he plays both instruments but is focusing on trumpet and trying to minimize his lip time on the horn at his trumpet teacher's suggestion. (My son is 15). 3. I read horn at concert pitch - I look at it, when it's in treble clef, as if it's in mezzo-soprano clef. Thus, written G to me is played as concert middle C (which is what it is, of course). That's the background, here's the question: At the end of the first duet, the trumpet part for the final phrase goes like this, almost all in eighth notes: G C C C G E E E C G (quarter) D (dotted-eighth) E (sixteenth) C (quarter). In concert pitch, that's a whole step lower of course, basically Bb major chord. The French Horn part switches to baritone clef at this point (for those who don't know, that's an F clef but on the middle line of the staff). The written pitches are E A A A E C C C A E (quarter) E (quarter) A I'm confused (no doubt that you are, too, dear reader, by this point) as to what I'm supposed to be doing with baritone clef here. I think my first note of this phrase, which is written on the second space of the staff and therefore an E in baritone clef, is supposed to sound as a concert A. If we do it that way, the parts become, at concert pitch and leaving out repeated tones F Bb F D Bb F C-D Bb A D A F D A AD that sounds right, but then the question is in which register I'm supposed to play this stuff. I assume written first note E is the second partial then up a major 3rd, usually fingered 3 alone on the F horn and the lowest concert A one can play. If you've followed to this point, am I anywhere near correct? I scanned in the page in question, which you may view here: http://www.kbnj.com/music/mozartduets.jpg On my web browser, it initially came up a bit hard to see, but if you zoom in on it, everything is there. Thanks in advance. I would have explained this more briefly but, frankly, I am unable. -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
RE: [Hornlist] Mozart Horn Duets - transcribed for trumpet and horn, and using baritone clef
I have no clue, which is why I asked, Dan. There is baritone clef in other parts of this addition as well, e.g., #3. If that's really a typo, I find it hard to imagine, as most music publishing software would make you go out of your way to use a baritone clef. -S- -Original Message- From: Dan Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 8:51 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Mozart Horn Duets - transcribed for trumpet and horn,and using baritone clef On Feb 10, 2008, at 7:44 PM, Steve Freides wrote: The French Horn part switches to baritone clef at this point Did you REALLY think baritone clef is what was intended? ;-) It's a misprint.

Compare it with Mutopia's edition: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/make-table.cgi?collection=kv487preview=1 It lists Masters Music Editions as the source. They are are a reprint company from what I know so it's hard to say what the original edition was. In any case the notes are right. The clef is wrong. It is curious that the software, typesetter, and proof readers let this through. -Jay ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Next question - up a fourth or down a fifth from what's written? I _will_ get in touch w/ the publisher about this. -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
