Sjoerd van der Veen #156707. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546774).Add a touch of exotic flair, structural elegance, and theatrical fun to your repertoire with this brilliant arrangement of Johann Strauss jr.’s famous Egyptian March (Ägyptischer Marsch, Op. 335)! Expertly crafted for a standard Horn Octet (8 Horns in F).
Originally written for orchestra, this captivating march combines a steady, rhythmic pulse with unique, Middle-Eastern inspired scales and textures. It is universally famous for its mid-piece surprise: a dedicated section where the players stop blowing their instruments to robustly sing a wordless melody along with the march, creating an unforgettable, crowd-pleasing theatrical moment!
Why this arrangement is an outstanding choice for your ensemble:
Rich Orchestral Textures: The scoring is meticulously balanced to ensure the legendary light, Viennese rhythmic drive is maintained, utilizing the horn’s unique warm colors to emulate both the delicate winds and the powerful brass lines of the original score.
True Ensemble Collaboration: True to professional chamber music standards, there are no boring parts. The sweeping main melodies, crisp staccato motifs, and counter-melodies are distributed dynamically across all 8 players.
Accessible and Engaging (Grade 3.5): Written with highly idiomatic spacing and comfortable ranges, it is relatively quick to assemble, allowing your group to focus heavily on articulation, dynamic contrast, and stage presentation.
The Ultimate Audience Favorite: Joyful, unique, and engaging, this piece serves as the perfect concert opener, a highly memorable feature for Horn Society events and brass workshops, or a showstopping, theatrical encore.

Horn in F 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
