English Horn Repertoire

This is an ongoing project to provide English Horn players with a list of interesting solo and chamber music repertoire. I have revised this list to place a greater emphasis on composers and their compositions from the late 20th Century and the 21st Century.

 

Please contact me through this site with suggestions for additions to this list that will fit within the scope stated above. Please be certain to include composer, composer dates, title, composition date, instrumentation and publisher. I will consider your submission and then determine whether to add it to the repertoire list.
