Category: SOLOS for E♭. Horn Composer: Gareth Wood
Dedicated to Owen Farr.
Gareth Wood’s Concerto for Tenor Horn was commissioned by the Welsh Amateur Music Federation at Ty Cerdd-Music Centre Wales, with additional funding from the Arts Council of Wales and the PRS Foundation. The work was written for tenor horn soloist Owen Farr and the National Youth Brass Band of Wales. It is in a traditional three movement form demonstrating the agility and lyricism of the tenor horn.
The soloist begins alone with a singing melody in 5/4 time, and is soon joined by the Eb bass and solo cornet. The rest of the band later emerge, leading the music into a strident Allegro. After o short tutti the soloist takes charge and a dialogue of melodic and rhythmic ideas follows. After a brief return to the opening theme the movement closes with a flourish. The second movement is a true Adagio. A profound beginning, almost hymn like, leads into a gentle melody which builds into a large tutti for band. A rhythmic section follows, rhapsodic in nature ending in a return to the melody used at the very beginning of the concerto. After another short tutti section the movement gently fades away. The finale is a combination of technical fireworks and an almost latin melody, both soloist and bond finishing with great aplomb!
Gareth Wood’s Concerto for Tenor Horn received its world premiere by Owen Farr and the National Youth Brass Band of Wales under the direction of Dr. Robert Childs during their Summer Course of 2006 at Bangor University’s Pritchard-Jones Concert Hall North Wales. The work con be heard on Owen Farr’s debut solo release entitled ‘Untold Stories’ (DOYCD225) available on this website in the CD Section. Duration c. 16.45”

Owen Farr writes about the music... The cello concerto in C Major was listed in one of Haydn’s own catalogues but remained unknown for almost 200 years until it was discovered by the Czech musicologist Oldrich Pulkert in 1961. The work was probably written for one of Haydn’s closest friends, Joseph Weigi who played principal cello for the court orchestra of Prince Paul Anton Esterazy. It is thought to have been written for an Esterhazy court concert in Fisenstadt during the early 1760’s shortly after Haydn became Kapellmeister to Esterhazy. Although the work wasn’t discovered until 1961 at a library in Prague. it has become one of Haydn’ most popular works for the cello. Its first modern day performance was May 19th, 1962 in Prague.
