Description

Codes to download audio are included on each solo book. Titles included: Brass Bangles; Caprice; Dancing Silhouettes; Evening in the Country; Ocean Beach (Valse); Polka from Bartered Bride; Viennese Sonata No. 4 (Rondo).

More about this title

Why we love this

Harris drew directly from state competition lists to build this collection, which means every solo has already been vetted and approved somewhere. Your students get repertoire that checks the competition box without you having to hunt through catalogs wondering if a piece will be accepted.

What to expect

A mix of European salon pieces and lighter character dances. You'll find elegant, conversational moments in the Viennese Sonata and Caprice, bright rhythmic energy in Brass Bangles and the Polka, and genuinely tender melodic writing in Evening in the Country.

Who it's for

Horn students preparing for state solo competitions or needing reliable, grade-appropriate contest material. This collection serves intermediate players (around 3.5 level) who need pieces that are playable but still impressive.

How to get the most out of it

  • Download the audio files using the codes included in your book. Hearing how each solo should breathe helps students internalize phrasing choices that judges notice.
  • Compare the demands across all seven solos before assigning one. Some students thrive with the lyrical simplicity of Evening in the Country, while others are ready for the technical fireworks of Caprice.
  • Work through the piano accompaniments early. The alternate versions mean your accompanist can transpose if needed, but knowing which version you're using prevents rehearsal confusion down the line.

How to use it

Time this for students entering their first serious competition season. The seven solos give you enough variety to match different student strengths, and knowing they're approved pieces means you can confidently assign them without extra verification work.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining long lyrical phrases with consistent air support
  • Stylistic contrast between dance forms (Polka, Valse, Rondo)
  • Articulation clarity in faster, lighter passages
  • Accompanied solo performance and listening to piano parts
  • Preparing repertoire to state competition standards
