Joseph Bodin de Boismortier's Sonata for Three Horns, transcribed by Lowell E. Shaw, brings French Baroque repertoire into a horn-trio setting. Published by The Hornists' Nest as HN4, the edition includes a score and separate parts for three horns, with no piano required.
For an intermediate ensemble, it offers a change of style from contemporary horn trios and an opportunity to work on a lighter, clearly shaped approach to phrasing. Players can use the score to discuss how the three lines should balance, where to place breaths, and how to coordinate articulation. This is a practical chamber selection for a horn studio interested in exploring historical repertoire through a modern instrumental transcription.
