Horn Quartet

by J.S. Bach arranged by K. Turner & G. Winter

1. Sinfonia 11 BWV 798 by J. S. Bach arr. by Kerry Turner
2. Fugue Nr. 16 BWV 885 from the Well Tempered Clavier by J. S. Bach arr. by Geoffrey Winter
3. Fugue Nr. 20 BWV 865 from the Well Tempered Clavier by J. S. Bach arr. by Geoffrey Winter

Relatively unknown to his contemporaries, Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685 - 1750) stature has grown through time to the point that he has become a standard in the world of music today. This has entirely to do with the deep spiritual universality of his music. His compositions are considered as "pure" music - that which stands entirely by itself and is not dependent on such things as instrumental timbre. Precisely for this reason is Bach's music such a popular subject as arrangements for different sorts of instrumental ensembles.

Horn Quartet

by Kerry Turner

Fandango is an impressionistsic tone poem, written in November 1995 for the American Horn Quartet. It was the wish of Mr. Turner to express a passionate Spanish dance in the tradition of Maurice Ravel's La Valse and Bolero. At the same time he wanted to show case the particular virtuosity of the American Horn Quartet, who premiered the piece in Kerrville, Texas at a concert on April 14th, 1996.


 

Three Chorale Pieces

for Four Voices

by Johannes Brahms

arranged for Horn Quartet by Kerry Turner

 1. "Ach, arme Welt!" from Three Motets for mixed choir a cappella Op. 110 No. 2
 2. "O Süsser Mai!" Op. 93a No. 3
 3. "Im Herbst"

The rise of singing societies in Germany and France in the first half of the 19th century stimulated the flourishing of part song chorale writing: homophonic songs with the melody mainly in the upper voice. Weber, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Gounod, and Liszt all contributed to this style, writing accompanied and unaccompanied part songs for men's, women's, and mixed voices. Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was the undisputed master in this genre writing many songs for various vocal combinations, very often unaccompanied. This album contains 3 short works originally for a cappella chorus, which show the harmonic richness of Brahm's use of the human voice. For beginning to advanced quartet.

 

The Marriage of Figaro Overture

Horn Quartet

by W. A. Mozart arranged by Kerry Turner

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his comic opera Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) in 1786, in the style of the prevailing Opera Buffa of the late 18th century. However, in his genius, Mozart took the Opera Buffa style a step further, adding real 3-dimensional depth to the drama, not only in the characters as portrayed in the libretto but also to the characters as portrayed in his music. The result is a lively, amusing and beautiful masterpiece.
In his overture to the opera, Mozart sets down in a few short minutes a crisp, sparkling musical gem that not only sets the mood for the opera that follows, but has inspired symphonic music lovers for over 200 years.

Horn Quartet

by Kerry Turner

Rule Britannia! for Horn Quartet was composed in December of 2002. The work was intended to be a show piece for the American Horn Quartet, who premiered it at the International Horn Society’s 35th International Horn Symposium in Bloomington, Indiana. Set in a theme and variations format, this piece, as with other horn quartet works by the composer, runs the gamut of all technical possibilities of four horns in an ensemble.
