This brilliant, audience pleasing duet is based largely on Spanish motives, in a similar vein as the Buyanovsky España. However, in addition to all the flamenco bravura it includes beautiful free, mellifluous sections. A great change of pace from all the baroque and classical duet repertoire.

This exciting addition to the trio repertoire is written in a fairly conservative idiom which makes it immediately accessible and popular with general audiences, and an ideal companion piece to the Poulenc Sonata. Its three brief movements include a fanfarish "Intrada", a melancholy "Berceuse", and the energetic, minimalist-influenced "Reticula".

This colorful, virtuosic work is a prime example of contemporary music idiomatic for the horn. The three movements include "Pronouncement and Assemblage", alternatively lyrical and florid, the Bartokian "Cadences of a Darkened Wood", and the reflective soliloquies and frenzied horn calls of a "Dawn Foray". Hornists who enjoy performing the Gordon Jacob Concerto will love Venatic Chronicle.
