Parker English Horn

Agile, energetic & emotive legato English Horn for Kontakt

Parker English Horn is a true legato English horn Kontakt library performed by Dr. Andrew Parker, Associate Professor of Oboe at the University of Texas. 

After the success of the Parker Oboe collaboration, Musical Sampling had to bring back Andrew to capture the beautiful, dark, mysterious tones of the cor anglais. 

The Workhorse patch is great for more exciting contexts; performed with a confident mezzo-forte dynamic while Emotional offers a lyrical/delicate performance at mezzo-piano.

They’ve also captured a variety of inhale breaths with subsequent “pre-attack” air/tonguing noises - really helps sell the performance when peppered in before/in-between phrases.
