Top 8 MOST Requested French Horn Excerpts!

What a great resource! You should do this for tuba!

French horn is, with NO doubt, my fav instrument. The richness and warmth of its sound are unique! Congratz to all US Army Field Band excellent musicians! I'm a BIG fan of y'all.

Fine playing throughout. I came here because I'm writing for woodwind quintet, I come from a more "jazzy" background and I want to make sure I respect the horn and write things that are melodic and feature the horn appropriately. Such a majestic/heroic instrument-- sort of a composer's first "go-to" for a triumphant sound, but also can be rhapsodic and warm. Thanks for this!

Beautiful! I played horn in my youth, 30 years ago, in two youth orchestras… but I only could play Till Eulenspiegel from the pieces here… wow, some have very complicated rhythms and chromatic changes… very good hornists, the quartet was beautiful! Would love to hear the world famous horn solo part of the overture to Der Freischütz with these players! French horn is simply the most awesome classical instrument, the sound can be warm, rich, romantic, attacking, it’s a highlight in especially romantic compositions. Thanks, greetings from Germany 👍

I'm 66. Still haven't gotten anywhere near ya'll. Wish I had joined military band after high school. Graduated from large university. Ruined my life. Dad was high school band director. Learned too late to place mouthpiece on bottom of lower lip too.

Thank you so much. As a French horn player, French horns are constantly underrated and told that it’s really easy, so it’s nice to see people in the comments notice

Goodness, such great sounds from everyone! Inspiring to hear, especially that Candide excerpt!

So wonderful these excerpts.. thank you The Army Field Band for sharing this beautiful video.. love it

I play Horn in band and Mellophone for marching band, and our show has part of American Overture in it and it's so fun to play!

Absolutely loved this! Thank you for demonstrating these excerpts

Nice to hear excerpts from Wind Band repertoire, not just the orchestral repertoire.

Soooooo beautiful, thank you for this amazing video. God bless you all. Greetings from Germany.

Dance Mvmts is such a beast! I'll never forget playing this my freshman year of undergrad in Wind Ensemble.

I miss playing the French horn pain in the ass 90% of the time ( damn off beats) but so much fun

So glad the symphonic dances from west side story excerpt made it! I played the viola solo right before, and a good friend of mine played the horn solo a few years back. So much fun, and a beautiful piece.

Excellent,Amazing

you guys are so awesome, thanks for your music

I play French horn too and I am interested in being a professional one day, Tysm for this! :D

Definitely helpful!

Yowza! Very well played!
