Horn
Bromeliad -The Epic (orchestral)
By Graeme Denniss
Regular price
$120.00
Concertino for solo horn and chamber orchestra, c.12'40
The epic describes a quest where the Horn is the hero of the story, hearing the call and responding to the challenge, as a hero must, although not without moments of trepidation. After overcoming moments of self-doubt, our hero sets forth resolutely to seek the foe, to the music of a march. Battle is joined in 12/8 and our hero emerges triumphant, but not without injury. After withdrawing from the fray to heal, the eventual homecoming results in a hero’s welcome. Awarded the highest honours by a grateful nation, a rapturous reunion occurs and they celebrate the victory together.

Four pieces for Horn Quartet
The four dances in this little suite derive from different countries and time periods, creating an eclectic mix of styles. They were written as an entertainment, to be enjoyed by performers and audiences alike. Many of the expressive and timbral properties of the 4 horns are explored and while musical challenges abound, the range and technical demands are modest.

Drive (horn)
By John Peterson
Regular price
$50.00
French horn in F and piano c.3'00. Grade 7
Drive is propelled along by the steady but unorthodox 13/8 rhythm which continues throughout the piece. Although the relentless quaver figurations in the piano part give the impression of speed, the French Horn part is quite relaxed and has strong melodic contours. The duration of the piece is about 4 minutes 30 seconds.
This piece was inspired by car journeys made along the wide, open roads of rural and outback Australia.

Echoes of the Hunt
By Graeme Denniss
Regular price
$25.00
Horn
and piano, c.5'30. Grade 8
The horn has long been associated with the hunt. Signals were played on hunting horns as a way of communicating over long distances and these melodic fragments found their way into many Classical Concerti.
Written in four sections, the opening music is sombre and mysterious, introducing the main theme and the bitonal chords, which are characteristic of the piano part. The second and last sections are virtuosic and display the exhilaration of the hunt, but the polyrhythmic music at the heart of the work is elegiac, and can be seen as a lament for all the animals killed in the name of sport.
