Composers Notes on New Wine...Horn players often play music of bygone eras on modern instruments.The impulse to write this piece came from turning it around. What if we played contemporary music on natural horns from the classic era?A contemporary sound was relatively easy to achieve. Once I hit on the idea of using natural horns in different keys simultaneously.Three intervals are used for three different flavours of polytonality:Movement 1, Hunt: A whole step (horns in F and Eb)Movement 2, Dance: A half step (horns in F and E)Movement 3, March: A minor third (horns in F and D)For some extra spice on top of this, I added an assortment of percussion instruments to the mix.Have fun!- Jeffrey AgrellFor more information concerning natural horns, please use the following link:Wikipedia Natural HornSee other works for Natural Horn:Music for Natural Horn
