Arapacana
By Michael Hugh Dixon
Regular price
$30.00
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.
