Tenor Horn

Heyya, I'm a Grade 8ish tenor horn player and due to the relitively poor repertoire of the instrument, I'd just like to draw the attention of any young composers out there! Hopefully this will help the tenor horn develop as a solo instrument!! Thankyou for reading.

Oh man, I have yet to write for tenor horn, I should have. There is a lot of repertoire written for F horn that is played on tenor horn, such as the Mozart horn concerti.

I have just posted a piece for horn and orchestra, maybe you could play it on tenor horn, it be equally as effective as long as it's playable. I would have to transpose the part to Eb, though.

Anyways, if you would like to check it out:

I'm not the only one writing for F horn pieces either, there are a few others on this forum, maybe you could search out the pieces and play them on tenor horn. :) In the meantime, maybe I'll write a duet for tenor and baritone horns. :D

Ooh, one of my forbidden pet instruments.

Let me think for a while... maybe something for a saxhorn ensemble? Flugelhorn, Tenor, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba?

I'll get back to you.

I agree, I might work on something too. But, that would make me melt, haha!

Thanks for all the replys people.:thumbsup:

There are a lot of good French horn pieces out there , but I seem to get it in the neck from the French horn players when I play them, it's a shame really cause the majority are enjoyable to play!:ermm:

Well, I happen to be a French horn player, and not the snooty type, so I say go play anything you can find, bring new light to it! In addition, maybe you could play alto saxophone and alto clarinet solos? They have some repertoire floating around here and there.
