The instrument used by the French Hunting Horn is the “Trompe d’Orl\u00e9ans”. The horn has three and a half turns, has a diameter of 37 cm and weighs only 750 gr. The total length of the pipe is 4.54 m. The instrument is in the key of D major and has a range of 3 octaves.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6915″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
The French hunting horn, which has always had the dual function of a (hunting) signal instrument and a pure musical instrument, occupied an important place at the French court from the 17th century onwards. Especially since Louis XIV chose him as a signal instrument for his yachts. It was Marquis de Dampierre (“Gentilhomme des Menus Plaisirs du Roi”) who, with his brass bands, laid the foundation for the current repertoire and playing technique and who, by determining the length of the tube, also laid down the key. The horn owes its tradition to our time mainly to the long walk hunt with pack dogs (Chasse \u00e0 Courre or V\u00e9nerie) as it developed in France and is still practiced today. This of course explains why this horn has many practitioners, especially there, and the entire terminology is French. <\/p>\n
The hunting horn has no keys or valves. The different tones and sound effects are produced only with the help of the lips, jaws, tongue and air pressure. All musicians in the group play the same type of instrument, only the mouthpiece may differ. The hunting horn is usually played without the accompaniment of other instruments. The variation in tempi and measure, and the harmony of the different parts should then provide the necessary color and variety. The horn also comes into its own in combination with organ, piano, orchestra and even choir. <\/p>\n
The hunting horn is played standing up. For a better overall sound, the players (“sonneurs”) stand in V-formation with the bell, and thus with their backs, to the audience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”90px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

With the French Hunting Horn, given the musical range, real music is played. Here they call this fanfares. The most important were composed by Marquis de Dampierre. In the brass bands two large groups. <\/p>\n
A fairly complete overview of repertoire on the site of hoorn.be<\/a> and on Fanfares Trompe de Chasse<\/a> or almost all 450 pieces on Ma Chasse<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]\n The oldest form of hunting horn was made from the horn of a cow or other animal horn-bearer and produced only one tone. The German hunting horn, the “F\u00fcrst Pless” horn, named after the princes Von Pless, originated around 1880 from the small kavalarie horn, an army horn. The “F\u00fcrst Pless” horn is a typical signal horn with a tonal range of around 5 notes. It is almost always used by hunters on foot and there are 45 hunting signals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]\n The Parforce Horn, the Plesshoorn and the Taschenjagdhorn are now used to communicate with during a hunting day (the start of the drift, end of shooting, collecting floats and the halalli). If there has been a successful hunt, the horn is used at the tableau to blow the death signals. During such a hunting day, the horn is also used to greet each other, to blow ‘zum Essen’ and to say goodbye. <\/p>\n With the German Hunting Horn, Hunting Signals are transmitted earlier. For example, if only one large deer has been released, and it has been shot, the other hunters will be notified by the signal “Hirch Tot” (Large deer may no longer be shot). Or if during a drift a piece of game is shot sick, the signal “Call for the dog” (Hunderuf) puts the sweathounds to work. <\/p>\n More info at the Dutch Hunting Horn Blowers with a complete history<\/a> of the Hunting Horn. Here is an overview of the Hunting Horn Associations in Flanders.<\/p>\n \n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n From the Hunting Horn Group Waldo we received the following addition:<\/p>\n We mainly play the large parforce horn in E\/B, sometimes in combination with the small F\u00fcrst Pless as well as the Ventilhorn. We have long since stopped limiting ourselves to playing 5 tones and the death signals, as described on your site. What we perform goes just a little further than that, we even perform works by well-known great composers such as Rossini, Wagner… and in this way try to make the difference with the other sometimes monotonous hunting horn groups. We hardly dare to doubt that this chosen path works, so we are pleased to note that we are gaining more and more interest from the point of view of music lovers. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_image=”8255″ bg_position=”center bottom” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”12%” bottom_padding=”13%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”txt-white” enable_gradient=”true” color_overlay=”rgba(3,71,42,0.5)” color_overlay_2=”rgba(3,71,42,0.6)”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":49778,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-50200","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"\nGerman Hunting Horn<\/h3>\n
