About

Written for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's horn section to play at Glyndebourne parties in the early 1960’s. In the early 1960’s almost all English hornists played on Alexander horns, hence the title. It was composed when Beethoven’s ‘Fidelio’ was being performed at Glyndebourne. One famous aria in this opera features the horns, and near the end they play individual scale run ups in canon, and so for fun the composer has incorporated this in the piece.
