"Romance for French Horn" by Elizabeth Raum was originally commissioned by the Canadian Music Competition as a test piece.
The work is lush and with rich harmonies of about 5 1/2 minutes in length and can be performed by moderately advanced performers.
Kurt Kellan, past principal horn with the Calgary Philharmonic, had often asked Elizabeth Raum to orchestrate this piece, so when the occasion arose for a new piece for the 2001 Prairie Festival of New Music, she decided to adapt the piece for Trombone and orchestrate it. The orchestration of single flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and strings works with solo horn, trombone, bassoon, viola, or cello.
