The Paxman Horn Quartet Gig Book - Vol.2

Description

The PAXMAN Horn Quartet Gig Book II is, like its predecessor, a one-volume solution for your next quartet gig. With chapters like I. SACRED MUSIC, II. OCCASIONAL MUSIC, III. THE HUNT und IV. LITTLE CONCERT PIECES, it covers a wide range of occasions from solemn to festive.

A few old favourites are included among the 107 pieces, but most are new arrangements that span six centuries of musical style. Also present are premiere editions of original works for horn quartet from manuscript sources, as well as others that have been out of print for generations.

What's more, detailed programme notes for every piece can be downloaded and inserted directly into your own programme booklets, from Programm notes

The author William Melton is a career hornist with a German orchestra. Over the last forty-five years he has arranged horn quartets and played in quartet performances throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
