Horn Studio Recital

Curtis Institute of Music

Tonight’s program invites you into a colorful journey through the worlds of brass and winds—music that sparkles with wit, sings with lyricism, and dances with rhythmic vitality. From French elegance to Broadway romance, from playful miniatures to modernist brilliance, each work offers its own snapshot of character and style, brought vividly to life by the unique voices of the ensemble.

The evening opens with Eugene Bozza’s Sonatine for Brass Quintet, a bright and buoyant work that sparkles with French elegance and wit. Its lively rhythms and warm harmonies showcase the brass in playful conversation, inviting listeners into a world of charm and precision.

Bernstein’s West Side Story, arranged for brass quintet by Jack Gale, bursts with the energy and romance of the Broadway classic. Familiar melodies—tender, fiery, and irresistibly rhythmic—are reimagined through the bold, golden sonorities of the ensemble.

Jacques Ibert’s Cinq pièces en trio (arranged here for flute, clarinet, and bassoon) offers five miniature gems, each a vignette of character and color. From lighthearted dances to lyrical whispers, the music delights in its clarity and humor.

The program concludes with Stravinsky’s Octet for Wind Instruments, a neoclassical masterpiece that blends crisp counterpoint with modernist sparkle. With its inventive forms, rhythmic vitality, and kaleidoscope of timbres, the work closes the evening in a spirit both playful and sophisticated.

A completely different quartet line-up! Anyone looking for an alternative to the usual version of two violins, viola and violoncello or the wind instruments can discover something new - such as the suite for four horns by Eugène Bozza, whose music captures the beauty of his Provençal homeland. Constantin Homilius and the American Kerry Turner, both virtuosos on the full-sounding brass instrument, wrote for the same line-up.
