Sjoerd van der Veen #893598. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.1304006).Bring a piece of profound musical history and rich, chorale-like beauty to your ensemble with this exquisite arrangement of Richard Wagner’s solemn masterpiece, An Weber's Grabe! Masterfully adapted for standard Horn Quartet (4 Horns in F).
Written in 1844, Wagner originally composed this moving work for a male choir to accompany the official reburial ceremony of Carl Maria von Weber’s remains in Dresden. The deeply expressive, homophonic, and hymn-like structure of the original score translates flawlessly into the noble, velvety, and naturally majestic textures of a French horn quartet.
Why this arrangement is a wonderful choice for your quartet:
Rich, Warm Harmonies: Transposed into a highly resonant and idiomatic key for the horn, this arrangement showcases the instrument's incredible capacity for deep blended tone, rich low registers, and soaring middle-voice suspension.
Balanced & Active Parts: Designed to emulate a tightly knit vocal choir, every single part is rewarding and fully essential to the overarching harmonic progression and expressive lines of the piece.
Highly Accessible yet Rewarding (Grade 3): While technically highly comfortable with approachable ranges, it serves as an unparalleled masterclass for refining ensemble intonation, collective breathing, seamless legato phrasing, and absolute dynamic control.
Versatile Performance Value: An exceptional choice as a serene, lyrical centerpiece or reflective contrast on a chamber music concert, a beautiful addition to Horn Society events, or a deeply moving selection for solemn ceremonies and memorials.

Horn in F 1, 2, 3, 4
Includes Full Conductor Score and All 4 Individual Parts.
