Arapacana

By Michael Hugh Dixon

Regular price $30.00 Sale

For two horns, c.7'15.  Professional level

A duet in just intonation that requires some practicing but not too much! The word arapacana is part of a mantra, though musically that doesn’t happen till bars 114-150. The quirky opening is about outward activity interspersed with moments of reflection.

Composed 2021

One score covers both horns for digital download.
