Richard O. Burdick’s “More than 64 solos for Horn”, opus 139
My scales based on the patterns of the I Ching have now gone
through four revisions; this work and my horn duets opus 132
are the most important works using the second revision of the
scales.
This work is intended as very advanced etudes or as recital/
concert pieces. My goal was for 64 different pieces all contrasting.
These were written during my first winter in Canada; really the
first winter I ever experienced, since I grew up in California
without snow. This is also before I built my own recording studio,
which was a significant change in my life. For these solos, I didn’t
write without an instrument in front of me as I usually do. I sat
in front of the TV set with a practice mute in my horn and pillows
around me. I improvised on my scales writing these solos down
from the improvisations. Slowly working through about ten solos
at a time adding a little each day.
Other horn players have used these as sight-reading practice.
I hope they become an important part of college recitals.
Richard O. Burdick.
