French Horn Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.1025113 Composed by Benjamin Giesbrecht. Contemporary,Dance,Pop. Individual part. 3 pages. Benjamin Giesbrecht #4727665. Published by Benjamin Giesbrecht (A0.1025113). Note: Performance will also require the purchase of Futility (Recorded Accompaniment Track). I apologize, but there is no way to combine the two into one package on this site.Full Title: Futility for Horn and Recorded AccompanimentOn escaping commercial musicPerformance Directions:Some degree of acting is required, as the performer is asked to shake their head, leave the stage, and throw pages off their stand. Performers are encouraged to act out the struggle in additional ways to those marked in the score. Use whatever combination of fingerings/grace notes, lip bends, and right hand technique you are comfortable with to achieve the closest effect to a trombone slide for the section at 21.Program Notes from the score:Transcribed from the original for trombone, Futility is a work embodying the struggle of a single musician to overcome the influence of commercialized music. We are inundated with commercial music and exposure to it is inescapable, thus it effects every musician in some form. Futilityfeatures an electronic track as accompaniment that was composed using commercially available audio loops and automatic beat generators-thus every sound the performer struggles against is both musically and literally commercial. The performer begins with some tentative entrances, moving towards an emulation of the electronic background.  Extra copyright information: The purchaser may copy pages if they are needed to achieve successful performance(s) and are used by a sole performer. (e.g. an extra first page to throw, or an extra page for offstage.)
