This is a four volume set. That took me about five months to recording from early April through August, 2022. I have improved my concept of tone on the French horn by doing this recording.

Program Notes:

Performed by:
Richard Burdick's  multi-track horn ensemble.

Author, arranger: Friedrich Adolph Gumpert (27 April 1841, Lichtenau (Thüringen) - 31 December 1906, Leipzig) also known as Gumpert, but Gumpert is correct.

A German horn player and teacher. Gumpert received his early musical education in Jena. From 1860 he was a horn player, first in Bad Nauheim, then (after completing his military service) in Halle. In October 1864, at the behest of Carl Reinecke, he became First Horn in the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, a position he held until 1899. He was a founder member of the Gewandhaus-Bläserquintett, formed in 1896. Gumpert was Professor of Horn at the Leipzig Conservatory from 1882 until his death. As well as Heinrich Lorbeer, his pupils included Anton Horner, Max Hess and Max Pottag, all three highly influential in the development of horn playing in the USA. His publications (all of which appear, erroneously, under the name 'Gumpert') include twelve volumes of orchestral excerpt books (Orchesterstudien) arranged for horn and other wind instruments, a horn method, this set of four volumes for horn quartet , and many arrangements for horn and piano.

Track 1: Nikolaus Herman (1500 – 1561) was a German Lutheran cantor and teacher, creating numerous Protestan hymns.

Track 5: Johann Crüger (1598-1662) a composer in Berlin known for Protestant hymns.
