horn definition and meaning

What is "horn"?

Horn refers to a hard, pointed, and often curved growth that extends from the head of certain animals, such as cattle, goats, and rhinoceroses. It is composed of a tough protein called keratin and serves various purposes depending on the species. Horns can be used for defense against predators, as a symbol of dominance and territoriality, for ritualistic or decorative purposes, or even as a sound-producing instrument. Unlike antlers, which are shed and regrown annually, horns are usually permanent structures that continue to grow throughout the animal's life. They are an iconic feature of many species and play a significant role in their biology and behavior.

horn definition and meaning

What is a "horn"?

A horn is a brass instrument with a long, coiled tube and a flared bell. The player produces sound by buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece and using valves to change the pitch. Additionally, the player places their hand inside the bell to modify the tone and pitch. The horn has a wide range and is known for its smooth, mellow tone. It is a versatile instrument used in orchestras, concert bands, and chamber music, often playing both melodic lines and harmonies. The horn's distinctive shape and rich, warm sound make it a key component in many musical ensembles.
