The alto horn (US English; tenor horn in British English, Althorn in Germany; occasionally referred to as E♭ horn) is a brass instrument pitched in E♭. It has a predominantly conical bore (most tube extents gradually widening), and normally uses a deep, cornet-like mouthpiece.
It is most commonly used in marching bands, brass bands and similar ensembles, whereas the French horn tends to take the corresponding parts in symphonic groupings and classical brass ensembles.
The alto horn is a valved brass instrument (in E flat) which has a predominantly conical bore like the euphonium and flugelhorn. It uses a deep funnel- or cup-shaped mouthpiece. The alto horn's conical bore and deep mouthpiece produce a mellow, rounded tone which is often used as a middle voice, supporting the melodies of the trumpets, cornets or flugelhorns, and filling the gap above the lower tenor and bass instruments (the trombone, baritone horn, euphonium and tuba). Its valves are typically, though not exclusively, piston valves.
Horn or Horns may refer to:
The musical term alto, meaning "high" in Italian (Latin: altus), refers to the second highest part of a contrapuntal musical texture and is also applied to its associated vocal range, especially in choral music. More rarely it describes the highest male solo voice type (usually designated countertenor), and it is also the root word of contralto, the lowest standard female voice type. When designating instruments, "alto" likewise can refer either to the corresponding vocal range (alto flute and alto trombone) or to musical role (alto recorder and alto clarinet).
In choral music for mixed voices, "alto" describes the lowest part commonly sung by women. The explanation for the anomaly of this name is to be found not in the use of adult falsettists in choirs of men and boys but further back in innovations in composition during the mid-15th century. Before this time it was usual to write a melodic cantus or superius against a tenor (from Latin tenere, to hold) or 'held' part, to which might be added a contratenor, which was in counterpoint with (in other words, against = contra) the tenor. The composers of Ockeghem's generation wrote two contratenor parts and designated them as contratenor altus and contratenor bassus; they were respectively higher and lower than the tenor part. From these derive both the modern terms "alto" (and contralto) and "bass".
Here's a review/demo of an Eb Tenor Horn. You might know it as an Alto Horn if you're not a follower of the British style brass band. The horn in this video is a Yamaha YAH-201s. The piece I demo is an Air Varie on 'The Old Home Down On The Farm' by Fred Harlow. Please excuse the fluffyness of some of the tonguing. I haven't spent much time with this particular instrument and hadn't got my lip into my usual standard of crispness. Send me stuff!

In this video I take two staple brass band instruments and talk about them a bit - the Tenor Horn in Eb and Baritone in Bb. If you subscribe to the Continental or American nomenclature, you'll call these two instruments an Alto horn and Tenor horn respectively. This video is a re-upload as the first was missing an image.

This was my solo at the Scottish Borders Slow Melody Competition for brass. I made a couple of mistakes due to nerves but placed 3rd. I'm playing Tenor Horn (also known as an Alto Horn) in E♭ and the piece is Concerto D'Aranjuez, originally played as a guitar ensemble but there were four people playing this piece at the comp! This is at 14 years old. Please don't post nasty comments because I know this wasn't played perfectly! On the other hand, if you have something nice to say or some constructive criticism (without being nasty!) then please post it in the comments as well as liking and subscribing... ♥

"Skyscraper" (1988) is the second full-length album by David Lee Roth, the original and current lead vocalist of Van Halen. The album was issued shortly after the commercially and critically successful "Eat 'Em And Smile" World Tour of 1986-1987. "Skyscraper" hit #6 on the Billboard Top 200 U.S. album chart during February 1988, en route to selling two million copies in the U.S. alone. The album features one of Roth's most popular, international hit singles, "Just Like Paradise", which reached #6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Additionally, it features the acoustic ballad "Damn Good", which reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Rock chart.

After the day I met you there, I'm not the same
I try to sleep, but nothing helps me to feel insane
Passion game that I'll play gonna last one more day
One more night I'll be there in my dreams again and again
I wanna give it on fire, uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial, find pretty reason to stay
One more forbidden sensation, one more emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation, hell yeah, I'm ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless despair
Gonna live one more day of my fate
Here I am standing with my determination
Remember when I used to be one of those silly fellows kind of 'really don't care'
And I realised all my thoughts and all my fears around me
You wanted to know what I felt and you got it right there
Turn around, all the words of regrets
And seize the chance to find the way so I can be raised
I am lame, psycho from the brain,
There is nothing I can do, that's the part of the game
Out of such foolish state, it's gonna find no other way
(Make way 'cause it's all about the shame)
Feel no shame, 'cause I live one more day again
I wanna give it on fire, uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial, find pretty reason to stay
One more forbidden sensation, one more emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation, hell yeah, I'm ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless despair
(Turn back in the days when you desired and craved)
(And all the way you felt just like you're burned in the flames)
Gonna live one more day of my fate
(No shame, no way, no play, no brain, no game)
I wanna give it on fire, uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial, find pretty reason to stay
One more forbidden sensation, one more emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation, hell yeah, I'm ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless despair
