First Concert Pieces

First Concert Pieces Five pieces that explore a wide range of musical influences and more advanced technical demands for the instrument. Cattle Train – A driving (sort of) blues for horn that will build stamina whilst being great fun to play. Dancing with the Polar Bear – Sentimentality aplenty here. Great for the young, but advancing student. Night Walk – Based on the Bossa Nova style, but in 7/8. This piece offers challenges that are both musical and technical, but all of this will be rewarding…just get in the groove. Galliard – A contemporary take on an old dance style, requiring careful attention to articulation, dynamics and the interplay between solist and accompaniment. Reflections – The last hurrah in this series of pieces. Take all you have learnt from the previous pieces in the series, find an accompanist and take it to the stage!
