The development of the horn over the last three hundred years is beautifully reflected in the music written for it over the same period and which provides a wealth of interesting and colourful examples with which to illustrate a entertaining lecture.
This lecture recital describes and demonstrates how the horn works, tracing its development through conch shells, animal horns, the harmonic series, Alphorn, Natural Horn and Valve Horn, and showing the parallel development in the music written for it.
The programme for this lecture recital includes works by Mozart, Leopald Mozart, Schumann, Dukas, Franz Strauss, Olivier Messiaen, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Wagner and more. It can be tailored to specific audiences and can be made longer or shorter as required.
