Three Gymnopedies by Erik Satie arr. D Marlatt
Three Gymnopedies by Erik Satie Arranged by D. Marlatt
(for Horn and Piano)
Reviewed By Sweetladymusic
Originally written for piano solo by the French composer Erik Satie, Three Gymnopedies are three short atmospheric pieces that share a 3/4 time signature as well as a common theme and structure.
Arranged by D Marlatt, these beautiful and ambient pieces are now available for Horn and piano and are technically easy to play. They are written in the mid register and they showcase the musical aspects of the Horn with it's clear cut phrases and dynamic range from a piano to a mezzo forte.
Having performed the first of these pieces and reviewing the composition as a whole, I find Three Gymnopedies appropriate to perform if you want a slow and reflective contrast to a technical piece for a recital. They are also suitable to perform as background music or for occasions such as weddings. Each of the Gymnopedies can be performed as a whole or as separate pieces.

Review: Embouchure Building For French Horn By Joseph Singer as compiled and edited by Richard E Ballou
Embouchure Building For French Horn By Joseph Singer as compiled and edited by Richard E Ballou
By Sweetladymusic
Are you looking for a challenging way to build your horn embouchure and gain endurance? Embouchure Building For French Horn is one of the most challenging method books to help you achieve such goals; whether it is getting your horn chops back from illness or vacations or if you are a little extra endurance. Focusing on the mechanical basics such as long tone studies, scales using different articulations, interval and flexibility exercises, this book has suggested routine exercises from moderate, special low register exercises and those who wish to achieve increased stamina and power.
Embouchure Building is based on the theory that mechanically nearly all the problems that are encountered by players in orchestras, chamber ensembles, bands and other ensembles can be covered in a comprehensive daily "routine" of practice. The only thing that these studies do not deal with are the musical problems such as dynamics, phrasing and other expressions.
