S791: The Romantic Horn

Music & Singing, Music Appreciation

In this inspiring seminar, examine a French Horn (take it to pieces!) to discover how its sounds are produced. Listen to extracts including Vivaldi’s hauntingly beautiful Concerto for Two Horns, Mozart’s elegant Concerto, Wagner’s “Siegfried’s Horn Call” and Schumman’s amazing “Koncertstück for 4 Horns”. Going to a concert will never be the same again, as you become convinced that the horn is “an instrument for heroes”! This class is presentation-based. The tutor also introduces the Open Studies Certificate in Musical Studies starting in October.
