This work is similar to the main movement of my
opus 91 Night Hawk for trumpet and organ. I wrote it as if it were for solo horn
with tape loop delay. Instead what I have done is plotted out the solo horn part
plus three echoes and given the solo player all attacks generated by the four
part fugue. I used grace notes when ever two notes would have happen at once,
dynamic contrasts help define the echoes. |
