In the Summer of 2008, the long-awaited Indiana Jones And The Kingdon Of The Crystal Skull hit our cinemas. Filled with the intrigue and drama characteristic of all the classic Indiana Jones films, Harrison Ford once again reprised his role as our adventerous hero. This book includes selections from that film arranged for French Horn with a fully orchestrated CD accompaniment. The french horn book is compatible with that for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. A piano accompaniment is available separately (order no. 31799) and includes a CD that features various instrument demo tracks from the series. The book contains a carefully edited part that is appropriate for the intermediate level player. The CD includes a demo track, which features a live instrumental performance, followed by the play-along track itself. Also included are eight pages of colour photographs from the movie. Raider's March; Marion's Theme; The Adventures Of Mutt; Irina's Theme; The Journey To Akator.

Two specially selected themes from 'Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban'. The arrangements are for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, French Horn and Trombone. As they are compatible volumes, they can be played together. The book is for the early/intermediate player, with a piano accompaniment suitable for either a teacher or intermediate level student. A backing CD is also included and provides both a demonstration version and also the playalong track.

In the summer of 1888 while also working on his tone poem Don Juan Richard Strauss composed this brief Andante for his father Franz Strauss a member of the Munich Court Opera and one of the greatest horn players of his age. The Andante was intended as the slow movement ???of a still unfinished??? sonata that Strauss however never did complete (to the chagrin of all horn players). The piece thus remained unpublished until 1973. For the new Urtext edition by G. Henle Publishers the original autograph manuscript held at the Munich Public Library was able to be examined directly. The Andante is of only moderate difficulty and is ideally suited for teaching purposes and as aneffective Romantic performance piece.

As if looking back on his youth toward the end of his life Richard Strauss wrote a second concerto for horn and orchestra again in Eb major around sixty years after his first concerto for horn. This sublimely beautiful late work which gives no indication of the oppressive circumstances of Strauss? poor health and the Second World War was premiered in 1943 by Gottfried von Freiberg under the direction of Karl Böhm. It was not until after Strauss? death that the concerto appeared in print in London making a critical new edition on the basis of the autograph sources and performance material more than overdue. The editor Hans Pizka former principal horn of the BavarianState Opera in Munich learned first-hand about the performance tradition and genesis of the concerto as a pupil of Gottfried von Freiberg. For use in lessons and for performances the especially playable piano reduction by Johannes Umbreit is a great help.

To this day Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments. He composed seven works for Horn with En Irlande premiering in 1951. Featuring on both the ABRSM and Trinity grade 6 syllabus En Irlande is dedicated to Monsieur Leferme a Professor at the Conservatoire National de Valenciennes where Bozza was Principal for much of his working life. As the title suggests En Irlande is influenced by the country Ireland and is based on an old Irish melody. During this Bozza work for Horn contrasting sections changes in time and keysignatures variations in dynamics and articulation and the use of extended techniques are heard. Being such a versatile piece En Irlande is an exciting addition to the Horn player's repertoire.
