Concerto #2 for Four Horns

Originally written for four violins, this baroque gem is now available for horn quartet! With a fairly wide range, and lots of independence, all four parts are of similar difficulty (and are all in treble clef), and each player has the opportunity to show off a little as the piece plays out. The opening movement is in a style similar to a french overture, with a majestic opening followed by an allegro contrapuntal section. The second movement is slow, with cascading movement and chains of suspensions in a haunting minor, then the final Allegro brings the piece to a rousing conclusion. Within the abilities of good high school players, but interesting and challenging enough for college and professional quartets.
