| Music can paint pictures or images of the beauty of nature, and clouds are certainly one of natures beauties. Stratus and Cirrus clouds are included in this trio with the music in contrast similar to those two types of clouds. This trio is quite limited in range in deference to the less experienced horn players allowing them to concentrate on balance, blend, musical style and phrasing without being challenged by range and technique. Both movements are to be played in the legato style with the exception of two measures in staccato-marcato style. Horn players will feel very good about themselves after a successful performance of this trio. The top range for first horn is only 4th line D, and the 3rd horn lowest pitch is A below middle C. In Ohio this trio is listed on the Horn Choir list as well as the trio list. This provides an outstanding first ensemble experience for young horn players.

| This Horn Quartet was made at the request of Cindy Heidelbaugh, Lexington Schools, Ohio who wanted a quartet avoiding the high range of the instrument. The first horn part does not venture above 4th space E. However, the 4th horn frequently goes down to F below the staff. Even though band music rarely goes down to low F, having your students playing in that range is not difficult and is great for the embouchure. Orchestra music of course uses the range much lower than F. “Kum ba Yah” is a well known song making this quartet fun to play. The theme is simply stated in F major and then followed by variations, first as a Viennese waltz, and next as a melancholy ballad in d minor, and ending with a dramatic processional march in G major. This quartet offers and excellent ensemble experience for developing horn players. In Ohio it is also on the Horn Choir list.
