	Descant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A discant (occasionally, particularly later, written descant) is a form of medieval music in which one singer sang a fixed melody, and others accompanied with improvisations.
		Later on, the term came to mean, the treble or soprano singer in any group of voices, or the higher pitched line in a song, and eventually, by the Renaissance, referred generally to counterpoint.
		Descant can also refer to the highest pitched of a group of instruments, particularly the descant viol or recorder.

	Playing the Descant Horn
		I had the chance to use school-owned descant horns as a college student, but I did not purchase one of my own until I reached the point during the years that I took a number of orchestral auditions where I felt that I had to own one.
		While "single" descant horns in high F have been around for many years, double descant horns (and triple horns) are fairly recent inventions.
		The descant is seen by many of these players, at least in the USA, as an instrument for occasional use on specific works or types of works.

	Easter Sunday "Llanfair" - Descant with choral Alleluias. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Descant for "Llanfair" - I use this hymn with "Easter glory fills the sky".
		The masterstroke of this setting of the hymn is its dazzling use of the descant.
		The repetition of the first four bars is deceptively effective; not only is it easy & comfortable for the congregation but the metrical orderliness of the hymn allows for ornamental additions such as descants, which augment the musical movement and provide a conspicuous catalyst for congregational participation.
