David Amram’s Concerto for Horn and Wind Symphony Orchestra is unique in several ways.  First, it consists of two movements instead of the traditional three.  Second, it begins with an andante and, third, it contains some unique jazz elements.  The first movement, the Andante, is slow and expressive while tonally foreshadowing the jazz elements that occur in the second movement.  Since the movements are performed attaca this aural element easily transfers to the second movement.  The second movement’s written-out rhythms portray the feeling and mood of the improvisatory style of the jazz idiom.  This movement also includes the use of stopped horn, multiphonics, and lip trills.  The performer must also have good flexibility and a wide range to successfully execute this piece.
