Berceuse, Op. 19, by Jean-Michel Damase is short work written in the neo-romantic style. The rhythmic simplicity, phrasing, and limited range make this work an excellent choice for younger performers. The piece, structured in an ABA form, is beautiful in its modesty. Given the brevity of the work and its use of the horn’s middle range, the piece is not strenuous. This piece is a pleasant addition—for the audience’s ears and the performer’s chops—to any recital.
