Program Notes:

About the music: I began writing these duets before my 64 solos, opus 139 but did not complete them until about 2006. This is my fourth recording that presents a complete set of 64 pieces which are based on my I Ching scales. There is a full I Ching set in CD2 “I Ching Arpeggios,” CD23 "More than 64 solos for Horn, opus 139" and CD28 “Waves.” Each set is a tremendous amount of work.

About One-takes: All classical musicians are required to undergo a strange and frightening test in order to obtain permanent jobs: the symphony audition. In a symphony audition all the candidates show up at the same place, many after flying for a day and staying in a strange hotel, and play a short audition, one after another. The members of the orchestra don't know who is playing behind the curtain and they pick who they think is best. This is about the most stressful thing a person can go through, and it tests technique more than musicality.

Based on my desire to improve at auditions and to prove these works can be performed, I have recorded these duets in my "one-takes" format.

"One takes" is a recording where the piece is played as if it were a concert; the tape doesn't stop. In a recording studio, small parts can be played over and over and the best versions can then be pieced together until a really fine performance is recorded, but each track of these duets is played non-stop! My CD23 "more than 64 solos for horn" was also recorded in this way.

I’m very happy with these works.

About the Performer:

Richard Burdick as a musician:
French hornist: Richard O. Burdick is the first horn of Regina Symphony Orchestra and the Regina Symphony Chamber Players in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. He is a prolific composer.

His move to Canada in 2003, with his wife Rebecca and his two boys, marked the start of the fourth major period in his musical Career.

In the 1980’s Richard was first Horn of Napa Symphony, a member of a San Francisco based theater orchestra and played lots of chamber music as manager of Trinity Chamber Concerts, a chamber music series in Berkeley California.

Starting in 1990 he played fourth Horn full-time for Sacramento Symphony, which went bankrupt in 1996. He then won auditions for Fresno Philharmonic, Napa & North State Symphonies and played in Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera.

He is a prolific composer and has many self produced CD’s of his own compositions, Bach, his classical natural horn playing and multi-track performances of many of his favorite pieces.

He performs on a variety of horns, a baroque natural horn (1720), a classical era natural horn (1800), a romantic era (1840's) natural horn, a single F horn from the 1880's, his main symphony horn is a Brendan Model Finke triple horn.

He has also done many music related jobs such as arranger for Sacramento Symphony, librarian and personal manager for Sacramento Philharmonic, and manager of Trinity Chamber Concerts (chamber music series) in Berkeley, California for 19 years starting in 1984.
