Begegnung

• „Meeting“ is communication.
• „Meeting“ of tradition and modernity.
• „Meeting“ creates new impetuses.
• The alphorn as transmitter of messages.
• The alphorn as a fascinating instrument.

There are many aspects that inspired Kurt Gäble to write his composition "Begegnung" (Meeting). This piece fot the uncommon combination of band and alphorn(s) consists of three parts: andante, allegro and espressivo. You can substitute the solo parts with instruments from the band.

The different possibilities of the solo parts:

• 1st part (alphorn in F, horn in F/Eb, tenorhorn in Bb)
• 2nd part (alphorn in F, horn in F/Eb, tenorhorn in Bb, baritone/trombone
• 3rd part (alphorn in F, baritone/tuba)
