This exciting new concerto is a welcome addition to the repertoire of french and tenor horn players alike. Like the 18th-Century Serenade form there are five movements, arranged symmetrically around a slow movement – Soliloquy – which separates movements entitled Burlesque (two) and Valse Caprice (three) respectively.
The first and last movements share common material of a more symphonic stature, and the concerto ends with a brisk fugato. The solo horn is (in the band version) accompanied by a quintet of solo players (two cornets, euphonium, trombone, and tuba) who provide the lion’s share of the counterpoint and contrast with the main body of musicians who provide musical punctuation in the more sonorous tutti sections. The first movement, Don Quixote’s Dream, contains references to Cervantes’ famous hero, the Spanish nature of his stories, and the ambling gait of his horseback adventures.
