This composition is an avant-guard work for solo horn.
A terrific work, but you need to be able to do advanced multi-phonics.
Sculpture IV starts with the same opening phrase as Sculpture III since I started as a rewrite of the work. This work has two sets of slides the go with it, on projected on the performer and on a screen behind the horn player with some overlap. This work is much more of a mature work than the previous in that the phrases are more melodic. It was written entirely in the practice room with horn, which is very unusual for me since I used to write mostly on public transit in my spare time.
A musical composition that received a number of performances in 1988-9

This set of horn solos started in my college days at California State University @ Hayward, explores some of the strange sounds one can produce on the horn, but they primarily explore the technique of singing and playing the horn simultaneously.
My Sculptures are a very important part of my compositional output as they are key pieces from several different periods in my compositional life.
