The Paxman Horn Quartet Gig Book - Vol.1

Description

The PAXMAN Horn Quartet Gig Book is 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 89 pieces, but most are new arrangements that span five centuries of musical style. Also present are original works for horn quartet that have been out of print for generations. Novelties include a fresh transcription from manuscript sources of a well known classic as well as the first performing edition of a long neglected gem.

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