Re: [Hornlist] Camelot
I'll admit to finding the 1st horn part to Camelot tiring in a few spots. Especially for one who plays chamber music and so probably not loudly as a standard. As Dan says, it is fun and there are nice licks - think of it as a horn trio with cast accompaniment. Aside from the recurring trio fanfares (CEG---GGGFG---), there is a very slow, poignant horn-o'-fate moment for 1st when Lancelot prays over Sir Gawain's dead body to bring him back to life. Your fate hangs in the balance here too...

The horn parts are a lot of fun. Not particularly difficult or tiring, but lots of nice licks. IIRC, the original scoring includes three horns, though, so if you're playing a reduction with only one part, it might be more taxing than I remember it being.
