Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1431586 Composed by Alexandre Béon. 19th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contest,Festival,Romantic Period. 84 pages. R?sFacta Editions #1012061. Published by R?sFacta Editions (A0.1431586). The symphonic poem, Air Lointain (Distant Song) by Alexandre Béon, prominently features the English horn as a solo instrument within the orchestral setting. Inspired by the poem of the same name by Pierre Reyniel (pen name of Louise Perny) which explores themes of distance, longing, and nostalgia, Béon creates an immersive musical experience that transports listeners to a distant, otherworldly, realm. The prominence of the English horn as a solo instrument, with its rich, melancholic, warm timbre often associated with expressions of longing or yearning, is a fitting choice for conveying the emotional depth of the piece. Score and parts. Duration: Approx. 6'20.
