Hørven, Vera *1955 / Sandleben, Teddy *1933
-Nordischer Kalender Nr. 1 for 3 Trumpets
Vera Hørven (b. 1955) is a trained dentist and administrative data processing candidate from Norway. She was subject to a near fatal automobile accident in 1991. As part of her rehabilitation she picked up her old Conn Victor trumpet, a present from her farsighted parents 27 years earlier, and played herself back to health. She now enjoys performing as a church trumpeter and serving as a cornet teacher for children in school bands.
Teddy Sandleben, the well-known composer of the Teddy series, now arranged 18 of the „Norwegian Trumpet Soli“ by the Norwegian trumpeter Vera Hørven for an instrumental trio. Encouraged by her, he has now produced the NORDIC CALENDAR from them. These wonderful compositions appear in 4 parts: Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. All trumpeters, clarinettists, etc., will find in them a treasure trove for all occasions.
