 Hallam, A: Blue Dragon
"In Chinese mythology, dragons are depicted as being powerful and benevolent. They are bringers of wealth and good fortune. The dragon that controls the Chinese astrology is the Blue Dragon. The Blue Dragon is associated with water, power and strength. They generally live in lakes, rivers and the ocean. The most powerful dragons live in the larger expanses of water. This piece captures the nature of the Blue Dragon. Blue Dragons are free spirited, self reliant and independent in nature. They also symbolize "Spring".

 Hallam, A arr: Londonderry Air
"The title of this work is derived from the county in Ireland where it is thought this air originated from. It was first published as an anonymous air in the 1855 book The Ancient Music of Ireland.

 Holley, A: "Still Road"
Sonata for Horn and Piano



"The title comes from a road sign north of Sydney, and I was intrgued by its inherent ambiguity. The conflict of ideas between stasis/stillness and the travel that can occur on a road led me to contrast certain elements in the music. At times, particulary in the first and third movements, it is as if the music does not 'move'. Simple repeating rhythmic, melodic and harmonic patterns are in contrast to the constantly changing musical ideas in the second movement."

 Peterson, J: Drive
Australian Work.
French horn in F and piano c.3'0
Composed 1998
Drive is propelled along by the steady but unorthodox 13/8 rhythm which continues throughout the peice. Although the relentless quaver figurations in the piano part give the impression of speed, the French Horn part is quite relaxed and has strong melodic contours. The duration of the piece is anout 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The piece was inspired by car journeys I have made along the wide, open roads of rural and outback Australia. John Petterson, 1999

Easy, performed often by students
(1980 rev 2009)
"This set of short canons is designed for the Intermediate student. The range is restricted, from A below middle C to the D an octave and a half later
Duets have many educational benefits for students and are good fun to play. As Gordon Jacobs aptly put it in his book on orchestration, "French Horns hunt in pairs", so it is good to practise playing in pairs from an early stage.
ntonalion, rhythm, ensemble and balance can be learned from playing in small groups, and the duet is theeasiest group to form. In addition, duets are easlily intergrated into both solo and group lessons, either with students playing both parts, or one part being taken by the teacher"

"Lights", to re-spot the lights on the actors, "Camera", to roll the camera, and finally, "Action", to get the ball rolling! From "Then and Now', films have given us a sensory experience. They heighten our mood, create tension and give us a sense of wonder!

 Gifford, H: Of Old Angkor
Horn in F and Marimba. The horn player also plays 3 Asian gongs and a tam-tam. Duration approx. 6'30'. from the sleeve notes...In June 1970 there was a great concern for the fate of the ancient shrine of Angkor Wat, which seemed likely to be damaged or destroyed by the war. I decided to make the piece a lament for the glory of the old Angkor Wat, that for centuries had been the capital and centre of the flourishing Khmer empire. In writing for the horn and marimba I had in mind the Cambodian natural horn, the sneng, and a type of Asian xylophone. Score Only 		Red House $ ask
