Hello, Horn List.
I've been busy lately, and am about a month
behind in reading, storing and answering E-Mails.
I managed to finish writing a new "Quintet for Bb
Clarinet [or Viola] and Violin, Viola, Cello and
String Bass" (April 2004, 4 mvts., 19 min.), which
is irrelevant to you guys, but I'm very pleased with
it. It is a very lyrical work, that I think will do well,
and may be premiered this Fall by the Dedicatee,
Professor Joze Kotar, of the Music Academy in
Ljubljana, Slovenia.
I also finished the Re-Editing and re-printing of
my "Second Woodwind Quintet", which I've been
meaning to do for 4 years. Each instrument
requires Professional Level Playing Skills, and the
Horn Part ranges from the Written Small C, (in the
Middle of the Bass Clef), up to the Written F#2, at
the top of the Treble Clef.
"Second Woodwind Quintet" (Sept. 1997, 5 mvts,
18' 28") (A profound work, that equally shares
the spotlight between the 5 players.)
(Written for Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, Horn in F,
and either Bassoon or Bb Bass Clarinet. The
recording uses the Bass Clarinet.)
I Maestoso 4' 44"
II Adagio 3' 00"
III Allegro: Fortspinnung 2' 48"
IV Adagio 5' 06"
V Allegretto Maestoso 2' 50"
Total Time: 18' 28"
Some of you have been asking about this Wood-
wind Quintet, so now it's ready. Unlike too many
woodwind quintets, that are light-hearted to the
point of being na�ve and almost juvenile, this one
balances lyricism with profundity and drama. On
top of everything else, the Horn leads the bold "A"
Sections of the ABA-Coda formed last movement.
Please E-Mail or phone me for details, if you are
interested. (Be aware that I've been having problems
with my Internet connections, so you may have to
phone me.)
I gotta get back to the Happy Farm.
