- Abstract
- For modern classical hornists wishing to explore a different style, the unaccompanied solo genre is a way of easing into swing and improvisation. Horn solo pieces by Dana Wilson (b.1946), Douglas Hill (b.1946), and David Amram (b.1930) have grown out of the Third Stream tradition to explore blues, swing, and samba, along with many extended techniques like improvisation, glissandi, scoops, stopped horn, flutter-tongue, pitch-bending, and tapping on the bell for percussive effect. This project provides an analysis of selected works by these composers, exploring the jazz vocabulary and special techniques required. Interviews with the composers and research into jazz French horn history will supplement this performance guide.
