CD of New Horn Compositions
I am recording my first horn CD, which will consist of several of my own compositions.
These pieces fill significant gaps in the horn repertoire:
-20 challenging contemporary horn duets (no page turns required)
-several short openers/closers
-a virtuosic composition for low horn
-a horn version of "Carnival of Venice"
Several of these pieces also expand the technical capacity of the horn, and this includes an unprecedented use of extended techniques, particularly multiphonics.
I have been practicing this music for several months, and have spectacular musicians lined up to collaborate with me on these recordings. However, I have only managed to save enough money for a small portion of what I would like to ultimately be able to record.
Funds will primarily be used for paying performers and the recording engineer:
If the $1,000 goal is reached, I will be able to record a full 70 minute CD of music. Any additional funding raised will either go toward recording additional horn compositions or toward the production and advertising of the CDs.
