Product Description
21st century, American composer James Nathaniel Holland brings you a mystical concerto led by one of the orchestra's most beautiful instrument, the French Horn. (Arrangement available for solo trombone.)
This three movement concerto begins with the first movement, "Return to Valhalla" echoing the great composers Richard Strauss and Wagner. Then continues with an emotional second movement, Vissi D'arte (or 'All for Art').
The third movement is a fun scherzo and march which satirizes the sometimes passive agression and self importance of the Bureaucrat, coming to an energetic finale that is typical of Holland's music. This arrangement includes the instrument part and orchestra reduction for the piano with the part written above in concert pitch for easier rehearsal.
Entire Duration: 20 minutes
Sample here is with orchestra. (Orchestral score and parts sold separately.)

Born and raised in Indiana, he studied music at DePauw University, Vienna Austria, Interlochen National Music Camp and Indiana University (Bloomington, IN). At these schools many of his early pieces were premiered and performed, with one work being selected for main-stage production in the season.

He composed incidental music for the stage. In 2002 he founded a composers collective where they showcased their work. He was one of the first composers to participate in the American Music Centers initial on-line library. The New Jersey Concert Opera and the Gay Mens Chorus of New Jersey also featured his comic operas and art songs.
From 2005 he moved to Costa Rica where he organized concerts with visiting guest artists to present his chamber music to the public. Presently he lives in a castle in the central mountains of Costa Rica.
