Harbison, John: French horn Suite: VII. Envoi

from CD53: Burdick & Harbison Horn Quartets by Richard_O_Burdick

/

about

The Harbison is described as "sort of like one player tries to imitate another player but just can't do it." It's like the game telephone. The tonalities change and overlap in a dissonant way. One movement is marked for two of the horns play out of tune by a half step, and it seems this is for no reason; and I think it makes the horn players look or sound bad. An other devious thing; maybe playful thing he did was write a movement to be played off-stage after the on-stage performance. I think this is sort of un-necessary and standard performance practise is to end strong, not to end then re-start off stage. There was one chord that I loved in his work. A Bb/D third overlapping a B/D minor third. I loved this.
