Re: [Hornlist] Horn Quartet Music
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. Ralph R.

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).

Re: [Hornlist] Horn Quartet Music
If you want to have a challenge and great fun, order the Fripperies by Lowell Shaw. There are at least 6 volumes of these great jazz quartets. The 4th horn parts are absolutely awesome! There are lots of recommendations for quartet literature on Thomas Bacon's website: www.hornplanet.com Luke Zyla, 2nd horn West Virginia Symphony Orchestra - Original Message - From: A Reece are...@embarqmail.com To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 9:55 PM Subject: [Hornlist] Horn Quartet Music Hello all, I am a high school senior who just formed a horn quartet with my friends.
