Saxbabe 28 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Another heads up on a new CD featuring some JW....http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Horns/dp/B001CLHW1QDescription:The twelve horns of the Dallas and Houston Symphony Orchestras in thrilling recordings of works written or arranged specifically for them and presented in world premiere recordings. The principal horns of the orchestras are Gregory Hustis and William VerMeulen, both of whom have incredible reputations as solo and symphonic players. All the players are superb and this recording is truly unique in its presentation of wonderful horn players playing superb new works for horn ensemble. Pulitzer Prize-nominated James A. Beckel and well-known hornist/composer Kerry Turner wrote the two major original works, both on the theme of the American West. Both pieces are for 12 horns and percussion. Hooked on Williams is a delightful medley from John Williams movie score to Hook, by Anthony DiLorenzo. Roger Kaza's transcription of Barber's Adagio for Strings is particularly beautiful in the horn setting, as is Sterling Procter's version of the traditional Amazing Grace. Wouldn't mind hearing this! Or maybe our resident horn student joey225 has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 214 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I actually haven't heard the CD, but I'll order it right now!I'll be sure to share the recording to anyone that's interested in hearing it.I'll also throw a recommendation out there for "The London Horn Sound" - it has a 12 horn arrangement of themes from Titanic (which I myself rearranged for 6 horn and will be performing this semester) amongst other things!
