Description

Written for the amazing faculty of Horns United, this original piece by Jordan R. Tucker is an exciting and triumphant prelude for advanced horn choir. It was originally written for organ, but transcribed for horn choir in 2020 as part of a large-scale project to raise funds for COVID relief. This work in particular was dedicated to healthcare workers, who struggled and sacrificed daily to bring the world back to normality. Each part was recorded separately and individually by the performers, and mixed by Sean Holmes and Marc Lumley. Horns:
