I (with a local colleague) am learning to play baroque trumpet. We try to
play duets whenever possible. It's more fun than struggling with the beast
on our own. Problem is finding good duet material. It just occurred to me
that we're pretty much dealing with the same written notes as horn.
We've
Having lived abroad and seen well meaning funny translations, I get amused
easily with this kind of thing. Here a page of horn descriptions:

For example, the Conn 11DS Symphonic:

Now that's why it's confusing to the rest of the world when the word FRENCH
is omitted!!
It was a colleague on this list that straightened me out almost 30 years
Didn't mean to reply to the list sorry!!

You meet the strangest people on the hornlist seems some trumpet players

On the Christmas concert this year, there is one piece of music that at the

I do have an Alex descant for sale (posted these a while back -- a colleague
passed away and I'm helping the widow sell horns).

I've got all his solo albums, but what are some of the ones that best show his
orchestral playing?
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?

The back of the record jacket very clearly says Lauba... Different guy?

Thanks for the info. I've been to their site but never looked at former
members.
Lauba was '60-'62
Barrington '54-'64
Brouk '62-'63 and '65-'66
Binstock and Wirth not listed
So my guess would be early '60's for this recording.

I just bought a horn quartet album on ebay. "Members of the Chicago
Symphony". It's got Christopher Lauba, Paul Binstock, Wayne Barrington,
Robert Wirth and Frank Brouk ("presently solo horn")
No date. Anyone know when this was the horn section?

As you might recall from a previous message, I'm helping the widow of a
close friend who passed away sell off his horns. One of these is a Reynolds
Contempora and the bearing plate under the Bb valve cap is missing. Does
anyone know of a Reynolds that's being parted out where I could find this?

This is way to ambiguous for me Do you mean more "core" than a Geyer
falling on an 8D or than a tree falling on a Geyer? And does it have to be a
real Geyer
