The Examiner

MR JOHN HUMPHRIES

John Humphries was born in Sheffield and read Music at Oxford University. Subsequently he attended the Guildhall School of Music where he studied the natural horn with Anthony Halstead. His editions of horn music have been performed by many of the world’s leading horn players including Barry Tuckwell, Michael Thompson, Eric Ruske, Anthony Halstead, Stephen Stirling, Javier Bonet and Frank Lloyd and his reconstructions of Mozart’s incomplete horn concerto movements have been praised for their “polish, authenticity, good scholarship and talent”.
He is also well known as an arranger: one of his arrangements appears on the legendary London Horn Sound CD whole others have been played world-wide by the Wallace Collection. His arrangements for young players appear on all the main examination syllabuses in UK. As a writer, he has contributed booklet notes for many CDs and programme notes for hundred of concerts. He has contributed articles and reviews for the Horn Players, the Horn Magazine Historic Brass Society Journal and Brass Bulletin. His book, the Early Horn, was described as “a superb book” “packed with usefulness.” “Rarely can anything have been written on the early history of the horn that is quite as accessible and flowing.
John has been a brass examiner for Guildhall since 1986, but since the merger with Trinity has retrained as generalist examiner and thoroughly enjoys the diversity of his new role. He lives in Ewell with his wife, son and daughter and his hobbies include collecting brass instruments and repairing them.
