The french horn is a brass instrument. The sound of the horn can mix very nice with the sound of woodwind instruments. The horn is the only brass instrument that is used in the classical wind quintet, which consist of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. This quintet is sometimes referred to as "woodwind quintet", although the horn really is not a woodwind.
For classical symphony orchestras , the woodwind instruments used are , piccolo, flute, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon. The saxophone is not normally used in an orchestra.
Not the saxophone which belongs to the woodwind family. Trumpet, tuba, french horn and trombone are brass instruments. However, the horn may sometimes be classified separately, given that it fits as well with the woodwind instruments (for example within a classic wind quintet). It is thus not uncommon for a conductor to classify the winds as woodwind, horns and brass for practical purposes (for example, when the conductor wants to listen to only one of those groups).

Some common ensembles that include a french horn are Symphony Orchestra/Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Band/Wind Ensemble/Military Band Brass Quintet Woodwind Quintet Horn Choir (obviously) Jazz Band (Very Rarely) Mellephones can be used in Drum Corps Marching Band some Jazz ensembles
*Info* I'm in the 7th grade, and in a quintet with an oboe, french horn, clarinet (not bass), a trombone, and I play the bassoon. I've been looking for almost a week and have yet to find any music with our odd combination. Should I simply transcribe a flute to trombone, or replace the trombone with a flute? ==================================================== For a true woodwind quintet, you would need to omit both the trombone and the french horn. These are not woodwind instruments. But to answer your real question, (in my opinion) you would probably be better off ditching the trombone and bringing in a flute.
Vancouver Woodwind Quintet was created in 1968.

Some brass quintet music could probably be rearranged for that. The trombone and euphonium play in the same range.
A brass quintet is a musical ensemble made up of five brass instruments: two trumpets, horn, trombone, and tuba. This versatile ensemble can perform a wide range of musical styles, from classical to jazz to contemporary music.
Yup. Flutes are super versatile, and show up in orchestras, concert bands, woodwind ensembles, a traditional woodwind quintet and quartet, and sometimes even in jazz bands, and rarely rock bands.
It depends on the piece. If you are playing the bass line, it is considered a low brass instrument. However, if you are playing the more common counter melody, it is a tenor instrument. The "group" the horn or french horn plays in is called the brass (as opposed to woodwind, string, or percussion). It is also often a part of a brass quintet or a woodwind quintet as well as other chamber ensembles.
