Horn Calls

For Horn And Orchestra-The horn is surely the most ?romantic? of instruments and it is a well-known fact that it plays a prominent role in Weber?s oeuvre. Der Freischütz and Oberon would be unthinkable without their horn calls whether to signifyyearning or the clarion call of the hunt. But Weber did more than give the instrument important solo parts in his operas; he also wrote a virtuoso concert piece that to this day is regarded as one of the most difficult in thewhole horn repertoire not least because the soloist has to play three-part chords (!) in the cadenza. This Henle Urtext edition is based on the autograph the engraver?s copy (checked by Weber himself) and the first edition andso offers the best possible musical text for those wishing to learn this highly effective virtuoso piece. The Preface also for the first time provides biographical details of Sebastian Rauch the Munich horn player whocommissioned this Concertino.

Par TIPPETT MICHAEL SIR. Like Robert Schumann who often favoured the horn, Sir Michael Tippett who died on 8 January 1998 makes full use of the instrument‘s tonal possibilities in this work. He translated the Romantic genre of horn quartet into a modern tonal language: “All movements contain characteristic calls and triad arpeggios. Sometimes the call itself is the theme, as in the fugue. Sometimes the calls are the accompaniment to a solo, such as in the nocturne.” (Tippett) The forms of the four movements, however, are traditional. The structure of the ?rst movement is reminiscent of the form of a strophic song. The second movement is an allegro, the slow third a nocturne in the traditional ABA form. And ?nally the last movement is a capricious fugue./ Répertoire / 4 Cors

Walden for wind quintet was written in 1978 and commissioned by the Funen Wind Quintet. The title is taken from the American philosopher and poet Henry David Thoreau?s novel from 1854 about living in the woods which Thoreau did for two years. His stay there was an experiment an attempt to strip away all the artificial needs imposed by society and rediscover man?s lost unity with nature. In that particular sense his novel is a documentation of social inadequacy and a work of poetry (Utopia) as well. All thought Thoreau himself never completed any actual social analysis he was way ahead of his own time in his perception of the economy and cyclic character of Nature today knownas ecology. His ideas are particularly relevant now that pollution caused by society has reached alarming proportions. Walden was written in a style of re-cycling and ?new simplicity?. A lot of superfluous material has been peeled away in order to give space to different qualities such as identity and clarity. Various layers are encountered in the quintet such as the organic (growth flowering Decay) concretism (mechanical patterns) and finally the descriptive (distant horn calls and other ghost-like music of the past enter our consciousness like a dream). Walden consist of four movements. In 1995 another version for reed quintet was written to the Calefax Reed Quintet. Hans Abrahamsen
