This solo is the introduction to the Act 1, Scene 4 duet from Rossini’s “Otello.”  It is an exposed solo that features operatic lyricism and technical skill.   The Desdemona &amp; Emilia duet is a melancholy and beautiful passage where Emilia attempts to console a fearful Desdemona, and the solo sets the mood for the drama that follows.

The solo is increasingly appearing in orchestra auditions, and a wonderful platform to display your expressive and technical skills.  It has been transposed to E-flat, from E, primarily for the band.

Instrument Family

Instrument Type

"Brilliant Fantasie after Schubert, Opus 339, Final Movement" is a part of the third fantasie of Carl Czerny's "Three Brillant Fantasies after Schubert."  It allows the horn to demonstrate dexterity with the band having a few places to shine.  This is an arrangement, not a transcription,with a few additions without taking away from the original accompaniment.

Horn in F Accompaniment

Fun feature piece for natural or valved horn quartet and wind band that works well indoors or out.  Solo parts are written to be performed with 2, 3 or 4 soloists.  Solo and band parts are easily performed by high school or advanced middle school ensembles.

"Hunters at the Rendezvous" opens with a short quartet &amp; segues to a lively chase featuring interplay between quartet and band.  There is a cadenza break to feature a natural or valved horn soloist.  A substitute cadenza may be used: longer, more technical, solo or soloists, etc.

Punto's fifth concerto has long been admired by hornists everywhere.  It exemplifies beautiful solo lines and technical dexterityof the nad.  It would make a great solo horn feature in a "Sunday-in-the-park" concert or in a concert hall.

The band parts are of medium difficulty, but the solo is more difficult AND more fun to perform.
