Night Music, for two horns and piano

by Matthew Haislip

$15

Night Music explores the sonic capabilities of dark modal harmonies in the piano and echoing close voicing proximity in the horn parts. The ambiguity created by this texture is lead onward with a recurring rhythmic motif. The echoing theme in the horns is finally transformed into a bold chorale before the piece draws to a reflective close. 
 
The piece was commissioned by hornists Brett Hodge, husband of Marina Krol Hodge, and Adam Wolf to be premiered at the 2022 Southwest Horn Workshop at the University of the Redlands.
