Category: SOLOS for E♭. Horn Composer: Peter Lawrance
A collection of graded pieces for horn which reflect a variety of moods and styles. As well as providing plenty of material for study and musical development, each piece is substantial enough to make an exciting concert item. Throughout the book, the melodic range and stamina of the player have been carefully considered. Piano accompaniments are comparatively easy.

Christina Rosetti (1830-1894) came from a distinguished literary background and wrote the words to this popular carol in response to a request from a magazine called 'Scribner's Monthly'.
Gustav Holst (1874-1934) wrote his hymn tune 'Cranham' in 1906 and this is one of the two melodies to which Christina Rosetti's words are usually sung (the other being by Harold Darke).
This arrangement was made for Owen Farr with the Buy As You View Band and was recorded by the same performers on The Wonder of Christmas (AMS078).

Duration 5.00 minutes
“Inchcolm” is an island in the Forth Estuary first visited by St Columba in 567 and mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The ruins of Columba’s Abbey are regularly shrouded in mist, which brings with it a flavour of mystery and legend. Composer and distinguished French horn player Terry Johns (Drac to his friends) was commissioned to write this work for Superbrass and their “water influenced” 2nd album, “Brass Taps”. Drac requested that he be allowed to write a solo feature with a “proper” tune for Horn. Kingdom Brass in Scotland has recently premiered “Inchcolm” in it’s new brass band form and the solo part is playable by either a Tenor or French Horn player.
Percussion: 3 players playing timpani, glockenspiel, triangle, pair of cymbals and suspended cymbal.
Grade 3: Medium Playable by 1st and 2nd Section Bands upwards.
