Ah ha.
Wiki rocks.

Early horns were commonly pitched in B-flat alto, A, A-flat, G, F, E, E-flat, D, C, and B-flat basso.
I did not know that. Fascinating.
So, go for it. But you'll have to transpose the one that's in G, too, won't you? Since it's a third lower than the one in B, it's not really playing in unison with the first horn, it only looks like that in the score; it's really a third lower? Or something like that. Transposing instruments make my head explode, better you than me. ![[grin]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie5.gif)
If one of your mediocre players is an oboist, s/he's going to be stopped cold at measure 10, unless you take the tempo considerably slower than allegro con brio.
