[Hornlist] John Packer Mini French Horn
Hi I have seen this instrument on the J Packer website and am seriously thinking about buying it (not, I would stress as a serious instrument). Does anyone have any experience of this horn? (Intonation? Durability?... that sort of thing). Any opinions as to how it compares with the Wisemann or Berkeley versions?

[Hornlist] Saint-Saens - Horn and organ
Hi Can anyone give me some information about the Saint-Saëns Andante for horn and organ? I love the two romances (Op 36 and 67(?)) and if the Andante is in the same class then it would be a good piece of music to have available.

[Hornlist] The Dennis Brain - Roberto Inglez connection
Hi Inspired by a recent discussion on this list (or was it the other list) I have just read Jasper Rees' fascinating book - I found my horn. Lots of interesting stuff - I read it too quickly but will be re-reading it before too long. I was especially intrigued to read that Dennis Brain had played with Roberto Inglez and his orchestra. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of some recordings of D.B. in this context? I've found some CDs on Amazon but none of them mention Dennis Brain by name - is there anyone out there in the know?

[Hornlist] Peter Müller
Hi A wind quintet that I play with has been working on one of three quintets by Peter Müller (1791-1877 ). We've been trying to find out more about Müller but not got very far. According to information gleaned by our clarinettist he was born in Hanau (near Frankfurt am Main) and active as music-teacher and priest in the Darmstadt area. Any more information would be most welcome. We're enjoying his 1st Quintet in Eb which has some pleasant melodic material - even/also for the horn! regards, Graham Jarvis -- Jag använder gratisversionen av SPAMfighter för privata användare. 3546 spam har blivit blockerade hittills.

[Hornlist] Fuchs - Canticle to the Sun
Hi I just listened for the first time to Keneth Fuchs' horn concerto - Canticle to the Sun (Timothy Jones and the LSO). Does anyone know whether there is an arrangement for horn and piano that is available? I'd love to do some work on this peice of music - I doubt whether I would ever get a chance to perform it (even if I could bring it off) but I'm sure I would get a lot of satisfaction out of working at it. If there is no piano arrangement I would be interested to know if the solo horn part is available on it's own.

[Hornlist] Slur - or phrase marking?
Hi I can't believe I've ben playing the horn for as long as I have without having cleared this question up but better late than never. How do I know whether a curved line over (or below) a series of denotes is meant to denote a slur (notes connected without tonguing) or a phrase-mark (notes connected musically but not ruling out tongued articulation between notes)? The issue arose when I was looking at the Concone studies which I recently bought. But thinking back over rcent orchestra rehearsals I can remember times when I've made decisions based in instinct rather than theory. Are there rules out there?

It's given me good service for 5 years or so. Its a soft gig bag so it's not going to give any protection from hard knocks but it is reasonably well padded and certainly better than some of the other bags I looked at. Space is limited but the compartment at the front has room for my metronome/tuner, Dennis Wick straight mute, 2 mouthpeices, and 2 valve oil bottles and slide wax. There is a side container with room for music - not a thick wad but more than just a4 sixe. The straps are robust (though I've had to adjust the clips which had a tendency to come loose - a quick squeeze with a pair of pliers did the trick. And the case is comfortable enough as a back-pack. I wouldn't let my horn out of my sight (or reach) in this (or any other soft bag) but it lets me cycle to rehearsals which means I can do my bit for the environment. Hope that's some use.

[Hornlist] Re: Mute problem
Hi Thanks for all the advice... A special thank you to Dave Weiner. I'm based in Sweden so getting you to do the job was never likely to be a realistic option! I'm going to have a go at replacing the corks with gasket material. I've prepared the way by converting your fractions of an inch into millimetres (4.5mm) and found theSwedish equivalent of gasket material. I've got a day off on Monday so we'll see how it goes then! Thanks also to those who sent suggestions for alternative mutes - we'll se how it goes with the H+B first. So far noone has come up with any reason why the Dennis Wick should not work in the lower register. Should I consider shaving the corks on that mute - now that I know how to replace them if something goes terribly wrong ; ). I thnk I might keep the DW for normal muted passages as it really is quite OK in the higher range. We're playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto soon and it works fine for the solo at the end of the slow movt. regards, Graham -- Jag använder gratisversionen av SPAMfighter för privata användare. 1705 spam har blivit blockerade hittills.

[Hornlist] Mute problem
Hi I bought a Dennis Wick aluminium straight mute a while back. It works fine in the higher register but around and below middle-C ( F horn notation ) it stops sounding like a mute and just gives an unsatisfactory muffled sound with poor intonation. My old Humes and Berg was fine but the corks fell apart and I was hoping to upgrade. Is there something I can do with the Dennis Wick or should I be looking for something else. My horn has a narrow bell flare - I guess there are mutes that would work we´ll in something like an 8D that wouldn't be suitable for my purposes.

Hi (again) While I'm at it (I normally just lurk). I was at a live concert a couple of weeks ago when the Swedish Chamber orchestra (our local band!) played Mozart's little g-minor symphony (No 25 - K183 I think). I recall some discussion of this symphony on the list a while ago. The performance was brilliant and when I looked at a score of the last movement I was even more impressed by what I'd heard. The experience got me hungry for more - and I thought I'd just ask you guys - what are your favourite Mozart symphonies. To play? To listen to?

[Hornlist] Corno da caccia
Hi listers I picked up a bargain in a CD sale the other day. A boxed set of 4 CDs from Berlin Classics with music for Blechbläser, Trompete, Corno da caccia und orgel. I am happy enough with the recordings and performances - except that the Corno da caccia turns out not to be a baroque natural horn but a modern invention which seems to be a cross between a very high descant horn and a (piccolo?) trumpet. Played by a trumpeter without using a hand in the bell (there probably wouldn't be room for a couple of fingers!!). Can anybody throw any light on this kind of instrument? I always understood the Corno da caccia to be the baroque or early classical natural horn.

[Hornlist] Re: The proper way?
Hi again. Thanks for the responses. my concern was not with the oiling but with the technique he uses, pulling and pushing the slide without opening the valve. I've always understood that the slides should only be moved with the valves depressed - to avoid creating hihj (or low) pressure that might lead to leaky valves in the long run. I'm no expert - and I have been long enough on the list to respect those of you who have backed up the advice in the video. I guess I can relax and pull out the slides without having to think about holding the valves down at the same time.

[Hornlist] Tough exit (Was tough entrance)
Hi Tough entrances can be a pain - but a tough end to a piece can be worse. After all, a mistake at the beginning gives you time to let the audience forget. If the mistake's right at the end then that's what the audience are left with. My own pet hate is the very end of the last movement of Lars Erik Larssons music for Shakespeare's a Winter's Tale (Vintersaga). I can't remember what the movement is called but in the closing bars the first horn has a delicate entrance on an f# (pianissomo, dotted half-note as I remember) moving equally delivately delicately down to a b natural. Preceded by enough counted bars to make the challenge really nerv-racking. I think the conductor of our (amateur) orchestra must like the work because I've had to face the entrance far too often for my liking - no disasters in performance but some spectacular misses in rehearsal.

[Hornlist] John Graas - name that horn?
Calling all listers! Having had only limited success on the Yahoo hornlist I'm going to try my luck here. (Don't let me down...) I recently bought a LonehillJazz CD Jazz-lab 12 with John Graas on horn. On the front cover of the CD Graas is holding a single Bb horn with F extension (successfully identified as a Sansone by Yahoo listers). On the inside of the insert he's shown playing a full double that has still not been (convincingly to me) identified. The wrap is not one i recognised - but it's certainly close to a current Lidl model. (Anborg has also been mentioned - though it's nothing like the Anborg full-double that I still use). Two details that could be deciders are a bulge on the bell-brace and apull ring on what I guess is the Bb tuning slide. I've posted photos on the Yahoo group http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/horn/ You have to be (or become) a member to see them. If you're curious I could send a copy of the picture by mail. I'd like to be able to offer a prize for the first definite identification - but I can't think what the prize could be - maybe the satisfaction of winning is enough?

William Melton mentioned a number of alternative recordings if the Brahms Songs: Graham, I won't try to suggest a better recording (lets leave the critics to do that), but here are some that offer some fine horn players: Stefan Jezierski and Manfred Klier with Marcus Creed and the RIAS- Kammerchor (Harmonia mundi CD) Anthony Halstead and Christian Rutherford with John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir (Philips CD) Gerd Seifert and Alfred Dedens with Hubert Guenther and the Rheinische Singgemeinschaft (Garnet LP) Dennis Brain and Norman Del Mar with Roy Henderson and the Nottingham Oriana Choir (Decca 78) The last two are worth looking for if they are ever issued on CD because they document their first players in young years, the Brain recorded in 1943, and Seifert in 1964 (at the end of his stint in Duesseldorf). It looks as though the first two on the list are unavailable just now - from Amazon at least. Seifert or Brain would have been interesting of course - in a few years perhaps? looks like it will be the London Symphony Chorus/City of London Sinfonia / Hickox.

Re: [Hornlist] Rank Amateur Counting Measures
Hi Herb Foster asked about tips for counting. Like Herb, I resort to fingers but usually find that it's enough to count with five fingers without complicating things with curled or uncurled - if I'm likely to get more than five bars/measures then I'd be thinking about writing in some cues. In the end the counting has to be in the head not the fingers - but sometimes the extra reinforcement is a life-saver. Whenever possible I would count a slow 8 as a four. (One, and two, and three, and four and) Just works better for me that way. I don't usually find it's a problem in concert - but counting the same passage umpteen times while the strings sort out the details can make concentration difficult after a long day's work.

Hello there, I saw the end of a broadcast by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra the other day and caught a tantalising glimpse of an unusual looking horn. It looked as though the valve cluster was on the opposite side of the horn to the valve levers (if you can picture what I mean) with the valve slides pointing towards the players left hand instead of away from them. By now you are probably either totally confused or have a pertty good idea what kind of horn it was. The section listings on hornplayer.net haven't been much help.

The Jack Attack writes: William writes: No that is only my opinion. It is not the most pertinent sentence I have made on that subject since it is only opinion. The thought struck me that someone may just be mixing up pertinent and impertinent. (Excuse me if it's me being impertinent now!)

[Hornlist] Re:Things to listen to
Hi John. Here's my list: (I've missed out things already mentioned) Bach - Brandenburg concerti 1 (+2); B minor mass (in particular the Agnus Dei - but it's all great music) Beethoven - ALL the symphonies (Seriously! - maybe No1 can be left out but otherwise) Haydn - Symphonies 31, 51, 73 Fibich - Symphony No 1 (Not well known but some wonderful horn parts!) Lars Erik Larson - God in Disguise (Förklädd Gud) The prelude has one of the most beuatifl horn solos I know. Naxos have a good low-price recording. Tchaikowsky - Symphonies 4,5 + 6 - No 5 is a must!! Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade Dvorak - New World symphony, Cello concerto Gabrieli - 'Brass music' (Not really horn but wonderful anyway) The list could go on and on - there's so much wonderful music out there.

[Hornlist] The naming of horns
Until it was (more or less) housetrained my horn was called Attilla. Now that we've got to know each other better names don't seem important - except when we miss an important entry - the names my horn gets called then are mostly unprintable. Graham (Actually - when I think about it - maybe it's ME they're calling names??!) ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] VPO - what's going on?
O.K - while I'm on line A week or so ago I watched a televised concert with the Vienna Phil. I can't remember now what they were playing or where, but I was struck by the fact that one of the two hornplayers was playing what seemed to be a full-double german horn while the other (principal) hornist was playing a Vienna horn. I thought that the VPO only used Vienna horns - have I been wrong about this or was this concert an exception. Can anyone shed any light?

[Hornlist] Up-close sound
Hi, What does all this say about microphone placement? I was recently involved in a local radio recording with a small wind ensemble. The recording engineer insisted on lacing my microphone directly behind my bell. I tried to argue but he wasn't interested in changing the position. Is this normal? What is customary in this kind of situation? All the best, Graham ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Re: Denis Wick mpc
Hi, I've been playing on a Denis Wick No. 5 for over 20 years and never even thought about trying something else. (Well - hardly ever and even then only out of curiosity.) It works for me. In fact I'm now onto my third mpc - back to gold-plated after 10 years of silver. Of course it took work to develop both high and low registers - but it's the embouchure that produces the notes - not the mouthpiece.
