I just got a phone call from a local organist who has 4 horn players in her church and was wondering if anyone knows of music for horn quartet and organ, probably more of a meditative type piece (all amateur/high school I think) Any suggestions? ___

That's equivalent to asking if anyone knows of any symphonies that use horns. You could start with Schubert lieder. Milan Yancich published a book of horn solos arranged from songs. See http://www.windmusicpublications.com/ Herb Foster --- "M. Elizabeth Fleming" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello
