Forsyth's Modern Wind Music is a series of volumes containing exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument. In this volume for horn two aubades by David Ellis and John Golland (Ascent) reflect traditional associations of the instrument, whilst Anthony Gilbert's Two Birds by Kuring-Gai show the horn in an unusual guise and where written whilst the composer was living in the spectacular landscape of New South Wales. James Langley's music is well known to horn players and his fanfare-like Caccia for solo horn and Trident for three horns are both welcome additions to a slender repertory.

After studying trumpet and cornet with such accomplished musicians as Louis Davidson (Cleveland Symphony), Herbert L. Clark (Famous Cornetist), Oscar B. Short (Soloist- GoldmanSousa - US Navy Band) and Bartlett L. Lyons (Sousa Band) - this list is a veritable who's who in the brass field, isn't it? And after having witnessed many times the solid effects of visual education, I commenced thinking about the possibilities of teaching music by means of pictures. The Chinese, in their own terse concise way, simply say, 'A picture is worth a thousand words', so perhaps that is enough said about the philosophy behind this instructional endeavour. But even the best of pictures - I should say here that the cartoons in this book are the products of Clyde E. (Bud) Morris of Akron, Ohio, whose amazing ability to transcribe my teaching ideas in picture form is the making of this entire unique presentation - even the best of pictures needs interpretation and explanation Therefore, I have made a list of suggestions to the reader, which will enable him to benefit fully from the Talking Horn.
