A jazzy piece in two short movements with a solo part for Alpenhorn. The movements are Meditation and Scherzo.

There are two editions, one for Alpenhorn in F (which is more common in the U.S.) and for Alpenhorn in Gb (more common in Switzerland). In both editions, the Alpenhorn part can be played on Horn in F if your horn player doesn't have an Alpenhorn handy. The bass part can be played by either tuba or bass trombone.

Duration 4'.

Review of Hillslide by William Scharnberg. From The Horn Call, No. 25.2, February 1995, published by the International Horn Society:

Hillslide, scored for traditional quintet instrumentation with the hornist performing on alphorn, has two movements: "Meditation" and "Scherzo." The limited harmonics of the alphorn are treated well and the composer adds some pitch-bending on c and c' for an interesting effect. The quintet parts are not difficult, playable by a good high school-level quintet (grade 4-5). The first Bb trumpet ascends to a written c'" at the very end, but the part is notated with an option of taking the passage down an octave. If you own an alphorn and perform regularly with a quintet, this would be a good addition to your repertoire. [Composer's note: The alphorn part can also be played on regular horn.]
