The French Horn is an amazing instrument.

Versatile in its sound, the horn can be played with a mellow, soft sound which won't overshadow conversations at a reception.  For processionals and other glorious times, the horn's bright, beautiful sound makes the occasion perfect.  During a quiet interlude, such as candle lighting or offertory, horns can play a thoughtful piece, resonating images of romance, beauty, and devotion.  It is this great variety of sounds, plus the wide range of the French Horn which makes it so perfect for many occasions.  You will not find this versatility with a mixed brass, woodwind, or string group.

Many composers choose to use French Horns to create that special sound which makes the listener remember the music for years to come.  You need only think of the music from Star Wars to realize the importance of the French Horn in creating that right effect.  Classical, pop, folk, and other composers have all chosen to use French Horns to assist with creating the perfect mood.
