Fantasy

By Francis Thome

this piece, I've found, is a good audition piece where you can't audition for very long. hte piece lasts about 6 minutes and shows off quite a bit of different styles. There's a cadenza-like section at the front, a lyrical section in the middle, and a...

more flashy section at the end. arpeggios are all over the place so the player must have the ability to go from lower register to just above the staff quickly without sounding pinched off. as far as range it goes about the written range of the horn (G below to a brief Bb above) but only has one challenging fingering section. a good piece for a senior in high school as a college audition piece.
