Evensong for Horn and Guitar
Composers:- Fuchs, Kenneth
Duration: 8
Description:
From the composer: EVENSONG was composed at the request of my friend David Wick, principal hornist of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. He asked that I compose a recital piece for him to play with the orchestra’s music director, JoAnn Falletta, who is also a virtuoso guitarist. The only stipulation he made was that the work include fragments of one of his favorite melodies, “Lasst mich allein,” from Four Songs, Op. 82, by Antonín Dvořák. The melody is also quoted in the Adagio movement of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104, B. 191. The music is absolute in nature and cast in the form of a single movement fantasy based loosely on Dvořák’s melody, which is stated at the outset and at the conclusion.
