 English horn
By the beginning of the 20th century, the English horn was established as a solo voice within the orchestra.
During the second half of the century, the English horn was often included in chamber and orchestral music, and many concertos were written for it.
While the traditional character of the instrument was often set aside in concert music, it was retained in many film scores; those of Virgil Thomson, Miklos Rozsa and Victor Young contain some outstanding parts.
