What is the role of the French horn?
The horn is easily the most versatile brass instrument. It's main reason for this is its massive range. A good horn player can have a solid four octaves at his/her disposal. In orchestral music, the horn is usually used for beautiful solo lines or simple back up parts. There really isn't much in between. In band music, the horn is used often for melody, and is commonly doubled by the alto sax. It also has offbeats in basically every march ever written. In a woodwind quintet, the horn is used as a smooth, soaring voice that can somehow distinguish itself from woodwinds while still fitting in. In a brass ensemble, the horn is used to hit a note in basically every register. Usually, the horn player in a brass ensemble will call on at least two if not three octaves. In a horn ensemble, the horn is pushed to its limits. The horn players in horn ensembles usually specialize in a specific range, of about an octave and a half to two octaves. The horn has to play every part in a horn ensemble, so members must learn how to sound like every other instrument. All in all, the horn can basically do anything that is asked of it, and is essential to most serious musical ensembles.
