Horn
History Horn
History The horn was named by the International Horn Society. It has a mellow, velvet tone. It is usually keyed in F and Bb. There are three valves on the horn that lowers it a half tone, whole tone, and a one and one-half tone. The old horn is from France but the modern horn is not.
The hunting horn was invented in France in the late 165h century. The hunting horn began to show up in the opera in France and in orchestra halls. In the 17th century the hunting horn was used in Pietro Cavalli and Jean-Baptiste Lully’s operas. In the 18th century the hunting horn was used in Handel’s opera and in Bach’s opera.
With the addition of crooks the hunting horn was developed musically. The coiled tubing that is attached to the lead pipe of the horn are called crooks. The more crooks the lower the key.
In the 18th century the
horn changed a lot. Many people tried to put all types of valves
on the horn.
