Beautiful! I really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting this.

@andersonchap Hi Gregg,

Thanks for your kind comments and for viewing.

Cheers,

Wayne

[GoldenInk]

Very pretty, I did something like this on horn where I played all the parts and mixed them. Great piece.

[joenwayne]

Thank you!

[Organgrindermunkee]

Very nice performance, and wonderful arrangement.

May I inquire as to who's arrangement it is and/or get the sheet music?

[joenwayne]

Thanks for viewing and your kind comments. We arranged it ourselves from a piano version. Piano version should be available in any retail or on-line music store.

[HolyMorgrid]

I have this piece transposed for horn and it is truly fun to play. The flute player is very talented.

[jonny7england]

It is a very stirring piece..though I prefer it with the french horns in the background..but none the less it is great to listen to..thanks

[joenwayne]

Thank you!

[DontBeSadBeRadd]

nice :)

[joenwayne]

Yes, doing it with horns would be nice. This is our arrangement with flute. Thanks for viewing and your comments.
