Burdick, Richard: Horn Quartet No. 7, Op. 299

about

I wrote my Horn Quartet No. 7, Op. 299 in response to John's quartet. I used the Bb/D & B/D "chord" to start my work. I used the idea of quarter-tones in the slow movement, using the 7th 11th and 13th partials instead of John’s idea of just tune half the horns out a quarter-step. My works alway are written with the harmonic series in mind, and I think the simple use of these "out-of-tune" partials is effective.

The writing of the two horn quartets and the quintet that I recently wrote really started with my Duet for horn and ‘cello, Op. 295 where I wrote a 24 bar section of music and re-worked it to develop the whole work. Changing it to a slow movement, a movement in 3 and adding a motive to it in the final. The whole work is based on the one section. I think the work is very effective and is an interesting fun and quick way to compose. I used this ideal composition form as a starting point for the three newer works.
