Bugler's Holiday for 3 French Horns

Jennifer Bliman's MM recital at USC in December 2007. I took this trumpet piece and arranged it for 3 horns. This was one of the fun closing encores I chose to do just for fun. Yes Yes YES!!!!... I realize this is a slow tempo...it's French horn...what can I say? This definitely sounds better on trumpet, but I just wanted to do this for fun. :-) And I should also stress that it's not easy to find horn players that can play at the tempo I'd like. Posting things like "this sucks" is not constructive criticism. "Too slow"...yes, it is slow, but I've already stated that here.

Nice! Got anyone playing Holiday for Horns?

[OzTrumpet]

Nope. Who wrote Holiday for Horns?

[Aresthesaint24]

There is a reason this is meant for bugle don't get me wrong I love horn but this sounds way too mushy for my taste

[furirox4ever]

I am a horn player myself, and I just love this!!! :D This sounds really good.

You want some salsa with those chips? Haha I can't help it- I'm a trumpet player. French Horns can choose from pretty much any movie soundtrack and you choose "Bugler's Holiday"? Haha no it's all good, but just for the record, Trumpets 1 French Horns -10

Not bad... well yeah it is bad, but there IS a reason roy anderson put BUGLER in the title :)

Buglers play trumpets OR bugles but NOT french horn.

HAHAHAH nice! i bet its kinda hard to traspose it from Bb to F...well i can easily! can u?

[alawrence99]

If it was meant for horns it probably wouldn't be called "Bugler's" Holiday, lol

[blaquejew]

Not for bad for french horns. I would have rather have a concert band back them up instead of a piano.

[bervy8]

Very unfortunate.

[trr321321]

The recording and hall acoustics are not very good but that does not explain the intonation problems they have (I think the main problem is in the low horn part)

[gorthjrod]

The solo's are cool. The original horn music is crud though.. I just don't like any of Leroy Anderson's music.. All the horn music seems to be endless upbeats

@OzTrumpet

A Google search tells me it's a composer named Jack M. Jarrett.
