This work by Verne Reynolds was written for Norman Schweikert. It is a grand and majestic work comprised of four movements that makes full use of the horn’s range and rich sound. The first and third movements rely mostly on lyrical playing while the second and fourth movements are more technical in nature. The piece is tonal and quite melodic but does contain wide leaps and some dissonant intervals. This twentieth-century work is a nice addition to a recital.
