Quartet
for four horns, Opus 136 in 4 movements is the first recording
of a composition using my technique of organizing the triads
within a scale in order from most simple to most complex in the
overtone series. A technique that, because I am using triads,
sounds quite traditional.
The opus 88a (& 88b) series is a set
of long tone studies on the I ching scales. It is suggested
that your stereo have wide separation of Listen to the interference
beats!
Opus 88d is a composition using a written out echo for solo
horn. There is a pattern or melody in which each note that
happens, happens four times each time softer, so an overlapping
of similar tones occurs. The score if full of dynamic changes
making it a great study into dynamic contrast and accuracy.
Opus 77d “Returning to the Source” refers
to the use of I Ching scale #48 the well or source. In a through
composed composition with some multiphonics. In many ways this
work is a good substitute from the horn player looking for
a solo piece based on bird calls. This one is not illegal to
play without an orchestra. Note: the page turn should be audible!
