This price includes the score and all parts. When you listen to the recording you will catch the optimistic spirit as only the horn can exude. You might find it humorous that the horn soloist, and other wind players, have such phenomenal breath control -- a by-product of the synthesized, digitized recording. :) It still gives you an idea of what this is like and is sure to inspire performers and audience alike. The picture on the title page is a scene of mountain ranges from the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can almost imagine an alphorn player around the echoes of your mind.

José Maurício Nunes Garcia (September 20, 1767 – April 18, 1830) was a Brazilian classical composer, one of the greatest exponents of Classicism in the Americas.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, son of two bi-racial parents, Nunes Garcia lost his father at an early age. His mother perceived that her son had an inclination for becoming a musician and, for this reason, improved her work to allow him to continue his musical studies.
Nunes Garcia became a priest and, when King John VI of Portugal came to Rio de Janeiro with his 15,000 people, Nunes Garcia was appointed Master of the Royal Chapel. He sang and played the harpsichord, performing his compositions as well as those of other composers such as Domenico Cimarosa and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He was a very prestigious musician in the royal court of John VI.
His musical style was strongly influenced by Viennese composers of the period, such as Mozart and Haydn. 

This edition has been prepared from the composer's manuscript, and the PDF contains the Full Score and a full set of parts.  Please note that the string parts have been formatted for larger paper.
