Guest posted a topic in Chamber MusicI would like to share with you my new composition. It was exceptionally painful and frustrating to finish, but I hope that those emotions added a bit of an artistic and melancholic spice to this silly little piece. Enjoy and thank you for listening. -
This is my first ever composition for the duo of Alto Saxophone and (French) Horn in F. I had composed a soliloquy for Alto Saxophone around 3.5 years ago. I had also composed a solo for Horn in F more than 5 years ago. These "Three Sententiae for Saxophone and Horn, Op. 289" are composed in response to a call for pieces for this ensemble. I found the combination a rather challenging one to compose for. I include a title page as well as a description of the 'sententia' for those who are unfamiliar with it. The score is the transposing score, the actual pitches sounding a major sixth lower than written for the alto saxophone and a perfect fifth lower than written for the French Horn in F.

Full details and entry form available from our website: http://www.duoentendre.com/competition.htmlHi, guys!! I'm writing a piece for french horn and prepared piano. And I want to tune french horn a quarter tone lower than normal for an entire movement. I don't want to use specific fingering for each and every note. And I know that scordatura is usually used for strings. But would there be a way to achieve the microtonal tuning? I'd think, it won't be so complicated actually. But I'm not a horn player..... And instruments don't always work, as you think they would. Please, share ideas with me, horn players, composers and everyone who's got something say to this!!!
