UNACCOMPANIED HORN REPERTOIRE
Program Notes:
In Six Pieces for Horn Solo, each of the six pieces represents a character, a real person whom I knew. I found that the horn, with its register and timbre contrasts, could best represent the psychological qualities of the six characters and tell us their unwritten story. Some characters are peaceful, some are agitated, and one character even fights with itself. I leave it to the listener to decide who is who.
