| Description |
"Oddities for Horns" by Douglas Hill was written in 2004. These pieces for Horn quartet are loosely based upon the odd numbers of each of the titles. (i.e., Mvt. 1 is titled "Ones"; Mvt. 2 "Fives"; Mvt. 3 "Threes"; Mvt. 4 "Nines"; Mvt. 5 "Sevens/Elevens") They are all "for the fun of it", pure and simple (though not necessarily easy). A jazz-like feel, in it?s many guises, is always prominent throughout each of these songs and dances. Doubling the parts to form an octet is encouraged. Highly recommended! |
