Toot Your Own Horn




After creating a march to show off the Tuba's abilities, I decided to do the same thing for the french horn. This actually means alot more to me because I'm a horn player and I absolutely HATE marches. All the horns ever get are off-beats, ALL THE TIME! > :( This march is different, for a very nice change, the horns have melody throughout the entire thing, and are rarely joined with any of the other instruments. I still have included challenging runs for the woodwinds, so they'll at least have something to do after their many measures of rest. The brass just have oom-pahs or on beats. So to all the horn players out there, this one is for you!



For me this was too repetetive. For example the first theme is an AA' like form that is repeated. There was too little variation for me to keep my interest.
I can see how you want to set an orchestrational issue right. But I feel here that the horns are somewhat overused.
It is good that you write in the more lower register in the trio. that provides a little contrast, but I think horn players can use a little breadth time.
Horn players could use more rests. But because I play horn, it's nice to here them getting the melody.
