THE PLANETS for solo horn (1984)
Richard Burdick, b. 1961
The work was written for Philip Myers, first horn of the New York Philharmonic after the composer studied with Mr. Myers. Upon presenting the ’Mercury’ and ’Mars’ sections, the composer was asked for the entire set. Mr. Burdick rewrote the other sections for solo horn, although originally they had been scored for other
instruments, solo and ensemble.
Introduction (The Sun) is the loudest, flashiest and most far-reaching in its use of large tonal intervals. Certainly the most difficult movement. (I Ching 49)
Mercury — the intellectual planet; houses the seeds for the entire series. (I Ching 50)
Venus (I Ching 51)
Earth — called "Green Earth (A), Birds, Blue Sky (F#) and the Soul of the Horn" (I Ching 52)
Mars — a dynamic study (I Ching 53)
Jupiter — (I Ching 54)
Saturn (I Ching 55)
Uranus — the shortest movement (after Hindemith) (I Ching 56)
Neptune — the mysterious planet (I Ching 57)
Pluto — the wandering planet (I Ching 58)
