Par DEL BORGO ELLIOT. Interesting counterpoint brings the minor key 'Ballad of John Riley' to your band with style. Allowing for some good melodic playing from the tenor instruments (Trombone, F Horn, Tenor Saxophone) and later including the Bass Instruments in the melody, each section is important in this treatment of the somber folk tune. Great vehicle for studying phrasing and controlled perfor…

The work was composed in 1992 for the 85th birthday of Kurtág's teacher, Sándor Veress. The ensemble of instruments is unusual: two basset horns and two quarter-tone pianos (the well-known predecessor of the latter is Charles Ives' Three Quarter-Tone Pieces for two pianos). The special tuning in this case is not that the tonality moves in an ultra-chromatic direction, rather that it makes the cont…

There is tense rhythmic interplay between the instruments, making it a hugely enjoyable piece for…
