Peter Maxwell Davies: The horn writing is extremely virtuoso throughout not least in exploring the full range of the horn from the deepest notes in the bass normally exclusive to an orchestral fourth horn player to the highest most exposed sostenuto of a first horn soloist presenting herechallenges of embouchure and sheer stamina I should think fairly unprecedented.Duration c.23 minutes.

Full Score-The Horn Concerto was written in 1971 and was the first of the ten concertos Gregson has composed to date. It is dedicated to the English horn player Ifor James who died in 2004 and was originally written for brass band. However in 2013 Gregson was asked by Paul Klein Principal Horn of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC Northern Ireland to undertake an orchestral version for him.  Gregson decided to score the concerto for a late Haydn sized orchestra with the addition of a percussionist to add some colour to the texture. The concerto takes as its starting point the Mozartian model namely a sonata form opening movement a song-like slow movement and a jaunty rondo finale. The opening movement opens with a strident motif built on rising fourths announced by the soloist and answered by the orchestra. This pattern of ‘question/answer’ continues until a climactic moment breaks the tension and is followed by a lyrical second subject announced by the soloist over undulating rhythmic patterns on strings. The music is developed and recapitulated from these ideas with the lyrical idea returning via solo clarinet with horn answering in canon. The movement ends with the strident fourths this time in inversion. The slow movement is in tertiary form and opens with an expansive melody from the soloist over a repetitive harmonic and melodic pattern. This is expanded and developed building all the while in intensity until it is interrupted by cadenza-like passages on the horn and muted brass. After a brief climax the music subsides into a moment of emotional serenity before the opening melody returns this time on solo oboe with the horn interweaving its own answering melodic lines. The rondo finale is more light-hearted in mood with a catchy 6/8 tune at its heart. It is twice interrupted first by an idea built on long held chromatic notes from the soloist against a highly rhythmic backdrop (wind brass and snare drum) then by a slower more thoughtful melodic idea. However

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. Avec son premier concerto pour cor, et étant à peine âgé de 18 ans, Richard Strauss accomplit un coup de génie ravissant. Jusqu'à nos jours, ce concerto est apprécié dans le monde entier par les cornistes (et par d'autres), faisant partie, aux côtés des chefs-d'oeuvre de Mozart, des pièces de répertoire incontournables à l'instrument. Peter Damm, ancien cor solo de l'orchestre de la Sächsische Staatskapelle de Dresde et soliste de renommée mondiale, ne s'est pas contenté de jouer lui-même en public ce concerto plus de 170 fois, mais il a en outre présenté et publié les résultats fondamentaux de ses investigations concernant la genèse de ce concerto. Son édition Urtext prenden considération toutes les sources conservées et peut ainsi être considérée comme une édition de référence. Pour l'étude de la pièce ainsi que pour les auditions, la réduction pour piano réalisée par Johannes Umbreit et particulièrement bien jouable, s'avère d'une grande aide.

This second book of solos is a direct continuation of the first. It takes students to a point where they can begin to tackle the standard sonata and concerto repertoire. The book is designed to cover many of the technical problems encountered by the intermediate horn player and later pieces introduce important techniques such as hand-stopping and the bass clef. As with book one many pieces are originally associated with the horn and notes at the back of the book give background information and tips for interpretation. Edited and arranged for Horn and Piano by Arthur Campbell.
