This recording presents mostly early music for valve horn. The Schubert is written for the natural or "Hand horn" but the whole CD is played on valve horn

Program Notes:

From Richard:

RB: "This recording is a follow-up to my CD34 Natural Horn Music FOUND. This contains something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

I have had the Schubert and the Weber in my library for a long time, so they are "Something old" along with the Tcherepnin, which I have recorded before and the Herbert which I publish (see list of publishing).

My work is something new, but just about as "normal" as I ever get. My whole quartet is "Sort of Blue." That's it, except the Revere is a quintet for English horn solo with four horns. I am now using the breath-controlled instrument emulator call SWAM, which I used for the English horn sound. It is very convincing to me, because with the breath control, I can make the change in volume, length of notes, vibrato and shape just like a real English horn. It even has key clacking noises sometimes; I love it. I hope you do too.

Richard Burdick’s multi-track horn ensemble

About the Music:

1) Heinrich Henkel (16 February 1822 – 10 April 1899) was a German composer who studied with Jahann Anton Andre at Offenbach am Main and became a figure of some importance for his Mozart research. He was born in Fulda. In 1860, he founded the predecessor of Frankfurt's municipal music school. Henkel died in Frankfurt am Main. His brother Georg Andreas Henkel (1805–1871) was also a composer.

2) Friedrich Dionysus Weber (composer 1766-1842) is also known as Bedrich Divis Weber.

3) Alex Martin: Nocturne, Op.8 aka Nocturne pour Trois Cors en Fa, Op.8 published in Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel, n.d.(ca.1818). Plate 3609.

4) Nikolay Tcherepnin:6 Quartets for 4 Horns in F (1910)
1: Nocturne
2: Ancienne chanson allemande
3: La chasse
4: Choeur dansé
5: Un chant populaire russe
6: Un Choral

5) Horn Quartet No. 6 "Sort of Blue" for four horns by Richard Burdick. This composition is quite tonal and, unusual for Mr. Burdick is somewhat impressionistic. It is in his I Ching Scale No. 62-34 (inF)

Friedrich Dionysus Weber

6) We're lucky that Franz Schubert wrote something for hunting horns.

7) The manuscript for the quintet "Revere" by important composer Victor Herbert was discover by us in a stack of old sheet music purchased from eBay. It is published by I Ching Music.
