Three Short Pieces for two horns
Three Short Pieces for two horns in F was composed in 1980 in New York City and slightly revised in 1996 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The first of the three pieces is a Prelude, where the melodic lines of the two horns create a tapestry of lyrical counterpoint. Following this is a stately Dance which unfolds primarily as a canon between the two horns. The Fanfare that ends the suite provides a rhythmic and energetic contrast to the proceeding two movements.
Running ca. 6:00, these pieces were premiered by Tom Friedman and Nancy Chau-Huie Yang at the Mannes College of Music on 24 November 1980.
The version of these three pieces for euphonium and tuba or for two tubas is published by Tuba-Euphonium Press and distributed by Cimarron Music Press.
